Massage therapy, shamanism, aromatherapy, energy healing, and other treatments have been practised since ancient times. For example, after a long day at work, people would rub oil on their bodies to help them relax.
In today’s world, massage therapists, osteopaths, and physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to assist people in releasing tension and relieving pain.
This post will include reviews from people who have improved their muscular bodies and become more balanced after visiting Massaggi in 2022 and beyond.

Ben is incredibly thoughtful, talented, and precise. I keep returning because the experience suits my needs, and Ben makes me feel 100% comfortable, safe and heard. I am very thankful to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for massage therapy (especially those with a goal of long-term pain relief).

I cannot stress enough how excellent Ben is. I have been weightlifting/bodybuilding for over 10 years and have struggled to find someone who can provide effective treatment. After reading the reviews, I gave it a shot, and all I can say is – it is all true. Ben was able to dissect my issues biomechanically and provide fantastic treatment. I went in with a back spasm, which I had for over 4 weeks, and it was not recovering – within two sessions with Ben, I was already recovering and have since entirely recovered. If you require adequate deep tissue or have sports-related soreness/injuries, do not think twice about going to Ben; do it! I highly recommend it, and Ben is now a long-term client myself!

I am obsessed! Ben is honestly the most talented therapist I have ever found. He has this way of speaking to the body that I have never seen before. I have been struggling with neck and shoulder pain for 3 months now, and at some point, it felt as though my muscles were not working in conjunction with one another anymore. However, after just one session with Ben, I could feel my muscles working in harmony again. Of course, there is no easy fix to anything, and the pain relief is still a work in progress, but I have considerably improved since I started seeing Ben. I feel so grateful for finding him and anyone would be lucky to have him treat them, just be mindful that he is always busy so you need to book in advance!
Ben is an excellent therapist. He can combine a deep tissue massage (working extensively on areas of muscle tension and pain) with a session that allows you to find a place of deep relaxation and stress relief. Ben has been a great help to me, and I would highly recommend his services.

I want to thank Ben for being so helpful regarding my back and neck pain/stiffness in the past months. I’ve received fantastic advice from him (beyond the 1 hour we spend together per month), which has already resulted in many improvements. Thanks, Ben. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of working with you.

I had a course of pregnancy massage sessions with Ben after my 2d trimester, which was an excellent support for me during this period. I like Ben’s mindful approach. I felt very relaxed and self-centred after each session. Thanks a lot; I had a great experience, and I would recommend.

I have been visiting Ben for the past three years. He is fantastic. I had a whiplash injury in my neck, which severely limited my range of movement. Thanks to Ben, I have now regained most of it. I highly recommend him.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I arrived at Ben’s practice. My first impressions were, “Okay, a sports massage therapist who does deep tissue and mobility work.” The session lasted about an hour and started like any other alternative therapy treatment with consultation, contraindications, mobility and the usual introduction. I prefer it in any given situation that things go with the flow, and to be honest, in the beginning, it felt like it was going to be one of those keep-to-the-timing deals. But I should have that the trance-like didgeridoo music soundscape I heard when I entered Ben’s domain became the blanket my psyche unravelled. YouTuber Ray Roberts, my good friend, was filming this visit and said afterwards that he had never witnessed anything like this. I jokingly said it was like an exorcism, and immediately, Ben humbly replied, “It’s all just energy..” Subsequently, as I watched the footage during editing, I realized that what I experienced during that therapy with Ben can not be explained in words without looking and sounding like a tin foil hat alien abductee claimant. Whatever it was I experienced, it helped me profoundly. Physically and emotionally. I have not felt this light or present within my being for a long time. I will return to Ben Pianese, the “Sports Massage Therapist”.

Ben is amazing. I’ve been going to him for about a year and a half whenever I need it. He’s always highly professional and knows exactly what your body and mind need. I sent him two of my friends, and they were both pleased. It’s hard to find someone who understands what you need without you telling them, but Ben does, and it’s always such a fantastic experience whenever I go see him.

I experienced the most profound body treatment with Ben last week. I can still feel how it boosted my energy level and mood and made me feel comfortable in my body. As a yoga therapist myself I never have time for self care and I am cautious with my choices of therapists, Ben is trustworthy highly experienced practitioner and I am so glad I found him. He created a calming atmosphere and held a safe space for me to sink in. Ben’s hands were gentle, delicate and yet so firm. He knew and felt where my body held tension and stiffness and helped me to release the pain through the breath. I felt so renewed and recharged physically and mentally afterwards, it was the best full body massage I had in years. So I highly recommend him to everyone looking for a sports massage and the whole body-mind experience. Divide Yofg

I’ve been going to Ben for years, which is a testament to how good he is. I only go back to someone when the treatments are excellent. No matter how much you hide your knots from him, he will find them. He is calm, and you leave feeling so much better.

Ben is an excellent therapist. He can perform tissue massage (working extensively on areas of muscle tension and pain) in a session that simultaneously promotes deep relaxation and stress relief. Ben has been a great help to me, and I highly recommend his services.

Massage Review For Massaggi on Hype Experiences
Wow! Where do I begin? This isn’t your average massage, that’s for sure. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but it blew any expectations I had in mind. When you first enter the room, you will see a beautiful energy and setting. I was greeted by Ben, who was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
I didn’t know precisely what massage I needed or wanted, but he said he could see what my body needed and mix it up, a mix I loved.
I didn’t realize how much my body needed a massage and how bad my posture/knots were until I could feel him releasing them. We used techniques and breathwork to help release the deep tension and be in a very calm state of mind.
I loved the meditation music being played and that he took you through the different stages of the massage, so you knew what he was working on and where he felt the tension.
Ben is a massage therapist and energy healer. You don’t need to tell him anything; he knows precisely where and what to do. I felt calm and comfortable around him, and he was very professional.
I left feeling amazing in the mind, body, and soul and will be back! I would say after a few sessions with him, it will be life-changing for the body, and I can’t wait to go back for another session.
Kaleigh Filip
London
A visit I did not know I needed; after the massage, I left brand new, and back and neck pain were both gone.
I loved the experience because of the treatment and the educational part about improving my health and avoiding or reducing pain with the tips given. There was excellent communication when booking and during the treatment.
Ben was very professional. Upon arrival, you had to complete a questionnaire that made the treatment more suitable based on the type of massage you would receive, any pain concerns, areas of improvement, or medical conditions. The oils, sounds, and atmosphere, in general, were ideal for concentrating and enjoying the massage.
After the massage, I was given plenty of time to sit and relax before making my way home; I appreciated it because, at the time, I was so relaxed that I wanted to sleep straight away. I have implemented more relaxation and breathing exercises into my daily routine, which I am sure, alongside future massages, will help improve my lifestyle and health.
The location was easy to find—near the tube station and in a friendly and quiet area. Overall, I recommend booking Ben for massages. He offered genuine advice on improving my sitting posture while working long hours and even advised exercise gadgets.
I could not thank him enough for his professionalism, friendliness, and good service. My sleeping pattern has improved since then. I will be booking again soon, not only for myself but also for my family members.

I have been seeing Ben for weekly treatments for one year. I find him extremely competent and knowledgeable. He customises sessions based on my specific needs, and every time, the massage is different and greatly effective. He connects the massage to deep breathing techniques, working on specific parts of the body in a holistic way. He improved my overall quality of life through better mind-body connection and conscious relaxation.
Karie Amey
Hammersmith
I have been seeing Ben for around the past 3 months. I have suffered for 16 years with debilitating neck, shoulder, upper and lower back pain. I have tried everything and seen many people, including many massage therapists. I see an upper cervical Chiropractor every two weeks and Ben every week; it’s a brilliant combination for me. Also, my Chiropractor said since I have been seeing Ben, he has noticed an improvement, so I am thrilled. A few times, I could not make my weekly appointment with Ben, and I missed my treatment with him; I could feel the difference without him and longed for my next appointment. I work long hours 7 days a week and do it myself, and I need to help keep going. Ben is excellent; he is professional and knowledgeable, and he knows exactly what to work on. He has helped me so much, and I highly recommend him to anyone; I wish I had found him sooner.

I found myself again! Honestly, this is how I felt after a few sessions with Ben! The deep tissue massage has helped me immensely with my movements and back and neck pain, and I must say that, in my experience, he is the best therapist I have ever been to.

Ben is both personal and professional. Most of all, he gains the absolute trust of his patients, which is of primary importance when it comes to back pain.

Ben is a master of profound tissue realignment. His treatments work for persistent issues. You arrive in a state of stressed discomfort and leave walking on air.
Maria Dalton
West End
A personal and fantastic massage in London. I went to see Ben as I had pain in my upper back and neck, in particular, through a combination of heavy gym work and sitting at a computer all day. He immediately spotted things I hadn’t, such as my head tilting slightly sideways due to stress on one side of my neck and the fact I tended to put more weight on one leg than the other. The first sports massage/deep tissue massage freed up my aching back, and I immediately felt better. The second was more of a full-body massage. He found knots I didn’t even know I had! My massage focused on the lymphatic system a few days back, and I’ve already booked a 4th appointment. What stands Ben apart is his focus on what you need to treat. Moreexpand_more

I have been experiencing upper neck/shoulder/back/jaw pain intermittently for the past 15 years, and my experiences with Ben Pianese have been the first time I have felt something working to correct the problem in my body. My body is very sensitive, and he can adapt his sports massage techniques to give my body what it needs to realign itself. I always feel progress after a visit with Ben, and it is done safely, which I appreciate. I have referred several friends to Ben and will continue to do so! Excellent service and the best sports massage in London.
Alon Amitay

I have been treated by Ben since 2009, and this treatment has put me back on my feet. Ben exemplifies a winning combination of high professional insight and skill with a holistic view of the patient as a human being. The treatment included deep tissue and sport remedial message which not only made my back pain relieved, but I managed also to help me regain the balance between the stress of daily life and healing power of sport and relaxation. On top of that, Ben never missed an appointment but was always flexible in accommodating my requests for changes. I would wholeheartedly recommend taking up an opportunity to make an appointment and have a first-hand impression of Ben’s remarkable capability.

Ben has extraordinary skills in multiple disciplines and always finds the best treatment for your body and health. I cannot recommend Ben enough.

I have to say that Ben has done a great job. I was suffering from back and neck pain/stiffness following a car crash. After a few sessions, I could feel the difference. The symptoms have gone, and my posture has significantly improved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone.

I have been receiving treatment from Ben for almost 3 months now, and he is one of the most skilled therapists I have had. During our first appointment, he was able to spot my areas of misalignment and was able to work on them right away. My hip pain, which I have had for years, has become less painful, and I have better body balance. We are still working on flexibility and scar tissue from a hamstring injury I had over 12 years ago. Still, I have every confidence that with regular treatment, Ben will be able to reduce the pain and improve movement/flexibility.
Chris Adams
London
My New Year resolved to give my body a better chance of pain-free. A legacy of rugby injuries and cycling accidents had left me inflexible and in pain. Dry January was a start; a provoking food diet came second, whilst acupuncture was ongoing as a form of maintenance. I am a “work in progress” with Ben, having seen him 3 times – but the combination of intuitive assessment and complementary treatments is already making significant improvements into a long list of things that need resolution. It might take some time, but then I think the benefits will be long-lasting and more of a re-education for the body than other Osteopathic treatments.
Neeta Sharma
London
I’ve been seeing Ben for approximately 2 years – a few times before I moved to London and regularly since I moved here 10 months ago. I’ve been lucky to have many fantastic holistic therapists in Toronto, and I must say that Ben exceeds my previous experiences. He is intuitive and selects his treatment based on his assessment that day (He has often combined other therapies with massage – e.g., reflexology, craniosacral, or Emmett techniques ). He is candid about what to expect post-treatment (s) and passionate about his work and alternative therapies. Besides being an excellent massage therapist, he is a great source for other health-related questions. My original issue when I started seeing him was related to a tight back, but he’s helped with many different problems since. I would recommend Ben as a fantastic therapist for anyone looking.

Working with Ben Pianese so far has been a great experience. After just one session, I have started feeling better! I had been in the hospital one week before because of a terrible migraine caused by my cervical neck pain. We will work not just on my neck but on the realignment of my vertebral column, trying to correct my posture. In the meantime, my migraine is gone, and I can be proficient at work.
I am looking forward to going to the other sessions. The best massage therapist in London has tried in London so far.
Sarah
Whitechapel
Before coming to Ben, I had visibly hunched shoulders and a lot of upper back pain. I tried to correct them with exercises instructed by a Personal Trainer and deep tissue massage. Still, I only saw a marginal difference from these techniques, and my shoulders would always go back to being hunched. Using the Emmett technique, Ben has corrected my shoulders permanently. I am so impressed with the results I have seen. I feel much more confident and suffer no upper back pain. I recommend Ben to everyone, and he is highly professional and excellent at re-alining the body.
Danny Russell
Islington
I have been seeing Ben for around two years, and as a European age group triathlon champion, keeping my body loose and injury-free is essential. Ben mixes conventional massage and the Emmett technique to release the tension and stress of training and always leaves me feeling fresh and competition-ready. If you are into sports and looking for more than traditional sports massage, I recommend seeing Ben.
Jo Munday
Stockwell
I’ve been going to Ben intermittently for the past few years. We have primarily focussed on my posture and shoulder tension, dramatically improving my mobility and alignment. Recently, we have used the Emmett technique to deal with an old knee injury, where due to surgical complications, even after various bouts of physio, I was still experiencing pain in the knee. Two sessions later, the pain has gone away, even after a 10-km race! Ben takes time to explain what he’s doing and is very passionate about what he does—highly recommended.
Ekaterina
West End
I was amazed by the treatment that Ben provides! After the first session, I could already feel the positive changes in my body. My body became “lighter” and more flexible, and the pain disappeared. I will recommend Ben to anyone who seeks a professional, high-quality massage. Kate.
Janet Hyams
Edgware
I had my first treatment with Ben yesterday and was very impressed as he started assessing me. I walked downstairs to the treatment room and was able to start almost straight away. He worked on different parts of my body with other gentle and powerful techniques, leaving me very grounded and relaxed at the end with more movement in the treated parts. I highly recommend him as I believe in treating the whole, not just one problem, as the cause and effect can often differ.
Janet
Edgware
I had never heard of the Emmett Technique before I visited Ben. During the first session, he skillfully identified where I was holding stress and released the tension using finger pressure on specific points and deep tissue massage. The combination worked well, and I walked away much more relaxed. I have had a couple of follow-up sessions since then and am already seeing improvements in my posture and alignment. Thanks, Ben!
Katie
London
I have had two sessions with Ben and am extremely pleased with the results. I have worn orthotics in my shoes for 20 years due to being very flat-footed and experiencing knee/back pain, and after my first session with Ben, I was walking completely differently on my feet, feeling balanced and grounded. I haven’t needed to use my orthotics since – it’s hard to describe how much better walking feels now! I have a physically demanding job, and my back is very tight. In my second treatment, Ben worked through the muscles, and I now have a lot more movement, which is more than I’ve been getting from a physio. Ben is confident in his techniques, which helps to make you feel relaxed in his hands. I like that I can go to one person who can combine a more straightforward sports massage with the Emmett technique and other holistic treatments. This makes Ben excellent value for money.

After years of treatment ranging from physiotherapy, chiropodist, and various types of massage, my knee, back, and neck pain showed no improvement, so when I came across Ben, I didn’t know what his treatment could do; at the end of my first treatment I left feeling relaxed and calm I didn’t think that it would make any difference in the long run, but I was pleasantly surprised I am now so aware of my posture the way I walk, sit and stand. I have been back to Ben every month and see a marked improvement each time. I would highly recommend Ben.
James Henry
Bow
James is 23 years old and an active gym user. I have had the pleasure of being treated by Ben twice so far (and I look forward to becoming a regular client from now on). He always takes time to assess what you feel you would like to get out of each session and what he would recommend as the most effective course of action for any particular ailment. I have been having regular sports massages for over a year now, but they have always been about treating symptoms rather than dealing with underlying issues. Ben has shown me that there is another way, and I already feel the benefits of greater mobility and reduced muscular tension.
Danielle B
Islington
Ben works wonders. He uses his knowledge of different massage techniques to tailor a solution to your needs. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Response: Thank you for your recommendation. The most effective way to treat someone is to understand their needs, so I believe in making each session unique. I use a variety of different methods to suit everyone I touch. Ben Pianese – Massaggi.
James Stern
Croydon
Ben is a brilliant massage therapist. He can tell instantly where your problem may be and remedy it through different techniques. I went to Ben a year ago because my back had so many knots. He understood my body better than I did, and after just a couple of sessions, my back was much looser. Now, I go every month or so.
Rob Sprott
Camberwell
When we write to express our feelings, we often write from our heads and sometimes our hearts. I honestly say these words are written from my body as a whole. As most of us do, I live and work in a world that demands a great deal from my body and mind, occasionally pushing them to their limits. Since the beginning of the year, I have been having regular monthly treatments with Ben at Massaggi. During this time, he has used his wealth of massage skills and natural intuition to refresh and reconnect my muscles to my mind. Since my first visit, I have had much greater flexibility and improved posture, and I have regained the confidence in my body to get back in the gym. Its clear that Ben is a highly skilled massage practitioner, I also strongly believe he has a very unique intuition and ability to connect with you, and these combined open the door to a life enhancing experience.
Zoe Hepden

Ben treated me this morning, and I was so impressed. I feel light, balanced, and like I can breathe again. I was very impressed with how Ben assessed me and treated me, linking things together and knowing exactly what I needed. He is a very skilled practitioner who I highly recommend and who I will definitely be working with again. I feel confident he can help me with my complex back/breathing/tension issues. Thank you, Ben.
Eric
London
Ben is a very skilled practitioner. He is centred and knows precisely which muscle he is working on—his ability to feel where the tension was impressed me. I left the treatment 100% better. He stretched all my muscles and released all my body tension, and I felt energized and ready for training. I can’t highly recommend Ben enough; you must try him and see how good he will make you think.
Barney van Jaarsve
Malvern
I first went for a massage with Ben as a one-off. I have had lower back pain and stiffening in the neck due to working long hours at a desk. Ben sorted the pain and stiffness in my neck right away. I am more relaxed than before. I use ben all the time now, and so does the wife. He is excellent at what he does. I would recommend his services to everybody.

Ben is an excellent therapist. His holistic approach can relieve body and mindset, too. I injured my shoulder in a minor accident, and he made the magic in just two sessions. Sometimes, a male practitioner may be an embarrassment for women, but I’ve never felt uncomfortable with him. His use of the Emmett technique is gentle yet very effective. I would recommend him to friends.
Janet Godwin

Ben is an excellent healer who has dealt with a lower back problem I have had for many years. Within just a few sessions, he has realigned my posture, which has given me the confidence to move freely again. I would highly recommend him. Janet.

I would highly recommend Ben. I have been getting massages for neck stiffness and lower back pain, and Ben has improved my condition immensely.
Whitechapel
I was looking for a good massage therapist in London to fix my neck injury and found Ben. From the start of the treatment, I felt like I was in very safe hands. After a detailed consultation and some muscular tests, Ben pinpointed the source of my muscular pain and released the pain from my neck area with the application of light pressure at particular points and in sequence. I experienced a gentle muscular release, and my neck rotation has dramatically improved. He is attentive to details; you can feel he wants to make his client feel better. I very much recommend his work.
John F.

Ben, after yesterday’s massage, my hip movement seemed more complimentary, and my right foot landed more straight. I felt more aware of my back muscles, and my neck relaxed. See you Tuesday. Thank you.
Frances Gordon
West End
I would highly recommend Ben. I get massages mainly for the odd pain and tightness from exercise and for stiffness and tension caused by too much time at a desk. He is excellent on both fronts. During our first session, he solved a problem I’d been having with my hip.
Oliver Pitt
Shepherds Bush
A diligent massage therapist who listens to your body and responds with a cross-regime technique. He has helped me with two injuries on my body, and his highly proficient and professional techniques have greatly aided both.
Amy Willams
Cricklewood
As it was my first massage, I didn’t know what to expect, but Ben immediately made me feel at ease. I liked how he highlighted problem areas in my alignment by looking at my standing posture. He then focused on specific areas of tension with absolute mastery and gave a fantastic all-around massage. When the hour was up, I couldn’t believe it, and I had entered such a deep state of relaxation that I had lost all sense of time! Fantastic, I would recommend it to anyone who wants an exceptional massage.
Hélène Préchac
Notting Hill
Ben has been working wonders for my body in the past few months. I came to him with several injuries, and he has alleviated the pain of all of them. He combines an instinctive approach with an in-depth knowledge of the body, which means that he can work on painful parts and treat their source. He is also charming and approachable, and you can sense that he wants to improve his clients.
Mary Lou Jones
West End
Ben Pianese has a lovely manner, strong hands, and can find every knot in your body. I found him very responsive to requests for attention to particular areas, especially my neck, head, and shoulders. If you purchase a series of five treatments, a sixth comes free.
Siobhan Dunning
Isleworth
I went to see Ben due to a sports injury to my back after a recommendation by a colleague. Ben is first-rate, very considerate and an expert in his field. Within a couple of visits, my back was 100% better, and he also reduced a large amount of tension in my neck and shoulders. Overall, I would recommend Ben without hesitation.
Isabelle Mullon
Bromsgrove
I first went for a massage with Ben as a one-off- to check if he could help me with a bad shoulder and general stiffness. I was very impressed by his skills and the work he did in 1 hour. My shoulders and neck were much more relaxed and loose. After that, I decided to do a six-massage course. He was always attentive to my needs and very genuine in his approach as a therapist. You can feel he wants to make a difference. I have recommended him to many friends.
Ruth Jolly
London
I would recommend Ben wholeheartedly and without reservation. The two sessions I’ve had so far have exceeded my expectations. Ben is superb—highly skilled, intuitive, and focused. I left feeling lighter and freer, and the effect lasted for days. Something happened at an inexplicable level, which had terrific, beneficial results. I slept better than I had for months and woke at 6:30 a.m. full of energy and optimism. And every pain I had left! You can’t say better than that.
Stogie
London
I have booked several deep tissue massage treatment sessions with various companies in central London. With Massaggi, I have experienced a unique combination of deep tissue and sports massage. I was highly impressed with the massage techniques that Ben, my therapist, used. It gave me a thorough sense of relaxation throughout my body and mind and an intense tissue massage simultaneously. Also, location-wise, it is easy to reach, so it is close to Marylebone tube station and centrally located if you live or work in London.
Alanna
London
I highly recommend Ben. I am a violinist, and when I came to Ben, I suffered from horrible pain in my neck and shoulders(from playing. ) The first time I saw him, I was in so much pain I couldn’t play and could hardly move at all. After the first session, I could play again (carefully, of course), and after about 3 in total, I felt completely back to normal. I’ve now had a session with Ben every 4-6 weeks for the past year, and I have had no problem with playing-related injuries. If playing and using my upper body is my source of work, then Ben has helped me immensely in keeping it healthy and balanced.
Nathan

I’m 38 years old, and I’ve competed in various sports from an early age. I have an office-based job and, as a result, have the usual stiff neck, back, etc. I’ve also had multiple tweaks, pulls and strains over the years. As a result, I’ve seen many kinds of physios and massage therapists. Ben is the 1st I’ve met who can intuitively work out what needs to be adjusted and exactly how to do it. He is that good. I don’t normally do online recommendations but in this I feel it right I make an exception, he is born to do it.

Ben saves me from my regular tennis injuries. I love to play and compete on the inter-club level, but my neck and shoulder muscles often get sore after the serve. Ben has helped me recover on many occasions. His point pressure technique can be quite painful but very effective. I am grateful for his help and time over the past two years.
Italia
London
I used to have a very sharp pain on the left side of my chest for about three years. I visited various doctors, but they couldn’t help me. They only prescribed drugs for the pain. Although they sent me X-rays and electrocardiograms, they couldn’t find the cause. Fortunately, a friend of mine recommended Ben Pianese to me. From the first accupresure massage I had I started to feel considerably better. After three sessions with Ben, my pain has almost completely gone. Ben is very professional and works on an intuitive level. I very much recommend his work.
Marlon Cortes
London
I have had a carpel tunnel problem on both hands for over 2 years. In 2010, I underwent two surgeries, which did not help much. The massage therapy is the only one that has helped me. In London, I tried several therapists who promised their techniques would help me, but they did not. It wasn’t until I found Ben that I felt a huge difference. Ben is a professional with a very friendly attitude.
Errol Miller
Croydon
Ben’s talent for identifying areas where I needed help was great. He highly regards this very personal work, and I trust him with it. In addition to being very professional, he’s very personable and friendly.
I’m looking forward to continuing sessions with him.
Olly Olsen
London
I’ve had massages all over the world. With several stress-related back problems and physical injuries from 20 years of sport, Ben has proven to be a significant contributing factor to my current well-being and physical strength. Ben can know what my body needs without my direction. Although I presume he has no formal medical qualifications, I feel I’ve visited a doctor after a massage from Ben! In all my experience, Ben’s massage therapy is by far the best I have had, and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Shirley Ellen Gayn
London
I had a ski injury in my arm and tension in my neck. After one session, I had an 80% reduction in pain, and after two sessions, it has virtually gone. The sessions have also helped to relieve all the tension in my neck and shoulders.
R Rajani
Harrow
Ben is nothing short of a genius who can intuitively read your body and target the areas that need work. Following a car accident, I had been to see many different people, from Osteopaths to Chiropractors, Sports Massage Therapists, etc., and always got the usual 10 minutes of relief, but nothing that lasted. Ben is the best of the best in creating lasting change!

Positive Client Feedback in 2022
I asked Ben Pianese to organize a massage for a friend’s 40th birthday and three of her friends. She was thrilled and said it was the best massage she had ever had. It was also very nice dealing with Ben, who was very helpful. The value for money was without any doubt the best in London.
Wendy
London
I can only concur with others’ appreciation of Ben’s powers of perception and expertise. His reading of the body is akin to having a personal tour guide who reveals in specific human detail where both physical and emotional issues or blockages are lying. After treatment, I feel re-aligned with channels, including both new and forgotten, open, certainly relaxed, and in a stronger position to re-meet the outside world. In the long term, I know that Ben’s powerful but sensitive work encourages me, and maybe developing molecular memories, to increasingly attain and retain more of the “right” condition to live my life. I have the highest regard for his work and believe he can help many people in his profession.

Every time I have a session with Ben, I get exactly what I need at that precise moment. He has great intuition and a connection to the clients, taking the therapy beyond a basic massage. When I leave, I am already looking forward to coming back.

I first came to see Ben for treatment of a skiing injury to my shoulder, which my GP had indicated would take several months to heal. After two sports massage sessions with Ben, there was a rapid improvement in the pain, and my shoulder mobility has increased considerably to the extent that I now feel comfortable playing sports again – well ahead of the timeline indicated by my doctor. I have since seen Ben for treatment of chronic back and upper body discomfort caused by sitting at a desk for long periods of the day. I have suffered from this for several years and have been to see several therapists about this – including osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncture as well as massage therapists. I can say that Ben’s treatment has been the most effective of these. I have felt a rapid and noticeable improvement in the symptoms that last for some time. He uses a variety of approaches to address the root causes of the problem appropriately, and I recommend him widely.

I have been visiting Ben Pianese for Massage for the past 7 months, and I must say that I feel much more supple (I suffer from stiff joints and arthritis). Ben Pianese is also very helpful in the care of his clients. He gave me advice in connection with my arthritis – I am now drinking more water each day and using Himalayan Salt to help with painful cramps in my legs. I have not had any cramps since starting the Salt and water programme three weeks ago. I am delighted and much more relaxed as I do not have that constant pain in my back and legs since Ben has dealt with this through massage.

I recently had a Massage session with Ben Pianese. I was immediately struck by his approach to the Art and Science of massage, which was very spiritual, obviously drawing on his vast resources of knowledge from various energy healing modalities to awaken and clear the bodies healing channels, before the actual Massage commenced, Ben was able to locate the exact area to be treated immediately, and I could feel that the treatment was having an effect even while he was applying the various techniques he uses, afterwords I could feel that my problem had been addressed in a way that I had not experienced, from the many other Masseurs I had been having treatment with over the years, I am eagerly looking forward to my next session. I would not hesitate in recommending Ben Pianese to anyone needing such treatment.

Ben is a brilliant massage therapist. His hands have the perfect combination of acute sensitivity to the body’s needs and intelligent strength to knead, un-knot, and soothe. I’ve had great massages worldwide, and Ben’s practice stands out.

I’ve been to several masseurs in London, and Ben’s massage is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Ben’s hands have a real healing quality, which makes the massage beneficial at every level—highly recommended.

Ben Pianese is an exceptionally gifted therapist. Whilst he has the strength to give my husband an intense massage, he is also sensitive to any problems and can adjust his style to suit the patients’ needs. I have enjoyed and benefitted from each treatment.

I had major surgery on my spine 6 months ago and started to see Ben to complement rehab physio. I chose Ben because of his expertise in various massage therapies. I have been delighted with the results, which have aided my recovery from surgery.

Being an athlete, I often experience tight muscles and tension. As a result of my fast recovery, I had to find an experienced person to massage me correctly and efficiently. Ben is unique in that he knows precisely what he is doing, and he can listen to your body and find where the tensions lie. This is vital, and without a doubt, he does a great job! I highly recommend Ben; he does and tells you everything you need to know. Thanks a dozen, bless you Ben! .

I have seen Ben twice now, 1st session 1hr, 2nd session 1hr30 mins. I recommend having a more extended session, as it makes all the difference. Ben is a naturally gifted body healer who trusts his intuition and ability to ‘hear’ what to do and where to go when working. He is exceptionally proficient in many complementary techniques. He brings an added dimension to the work with his certainty and poise. He understands the power of working with the body to achieve emotional release, and working with him on my abdominal area has been particularly significant. Working with someone at the top of his game has been a pleasure. I wonder how long it will be before Ben is famous and in demand for his work!?

“I started to see Ben for pregnancy massage because I had severe middle back, lower back and hip pain. Ben not only listened to me describing where the pain was but also had a sixth sense of where it was and, more importantly, an understanding of what was causing it. I found that he focused on the areas of immediate discomfort and worked on connected areas of my body to deal with the symptoms and the root cause. He is a calming influence because he knows what he is doing (which is very important for pregnancy massage). He instinctively knows when to work muscles deeply and take a gentler approach. He takes a holistic approach to the body – focusing on areas that need attention but not ignoring others. I have never been a big fan of massage, but Ben has well and truly converted me and played a huge part in easing the discomfort and stress on the body that is inherent in any pregnancy. “Marie, Solicitor”.

This morning, after 3 hours of working on the floor in Regent Street, I noticed a sharp pain in my lower back; this got worse throughout the day, making me bend over like an old woman. After sitting at my desk for an hour (it was now 7 pm), I could not walk without lousy pain when I went to get up. – anyway. At 5 pm, I had my appointment with Ben, and I could hardly get to Neal’s Yard, so I got a taxi. After 1 hour of massage sessions with Ben, I can now stand up straight again and feel able to walk; blockages have been released; this is amazing. I have been coming now for 3 years to see Ben, and he is the only person who has been able to relax me and release the pain in my back well all over. I have also noticed many changes in my emotional and personal health, and I highly recommend it! Lucy M.

I went to see Ben following a scooter accident. I was amazed at his ability to ‘listen’ to what my body needed regarding treatment, and I left every session feeling relaxed and grounded. His technique is strong but soft, intuitive, and free. I highly recommend Ben to anyone who wants to feel good in their body and anyone recovering from an injury or illness. Trust me—he is excellent!

In desperation and severe pain with sciatica, I searched the web for a massage therapist in Marylebone, and I found Ben. I was relieved to discover that he operates from Neal’s Yard Remedies, and from the first moment he put his hands on my body, I knew that he has a deep understanding of the human body, which goes beyond my knowledge. I noticed an improvement in my sciatica from the first visit, and I could smile, relax and sleep for the first time in weeks. After four visits, the pain was gone entirely. Massage will remain a part of my life. It’s essential to listen to the early warning system the body offers. Finding Ben and trusting in His skill, strong hands, and intuitive understanding have helped improve my physical and emotional well-being.

Ben is a very skilled practitioner. He is centred and knows precisely which muscle he is working on—his ability to feel where the tension is impressed me. I left the treatment 100% better. He stretched all my muscles and released all tension in my body, and I felt energized and ready for training. I can’t recommend Ben highly enough; you must check how good he will make you think.

I have been seeing Ben for over a year and a half because of neck problems. The treatment has been fantastic, and I no longer suffer from the pain and immobility in that area. My whole body feels better, making my dance teacher’s job much more manageable. Helen Green Dance Teacher.

I have been visiting Ben Pianese at Marylebone Massage Therapy for almost one year now and can wholeheartedly recommend it. I only go once or twice a month, which helps me release tension and stress and find new strength. I have also been working with Ben on everyday things like posture and breathing techniques, which contribute to managing work stress.

This is an excellent alternative to a regular body massage. During some parts of the massage, I felt a rippling vibration through my body, primarily through my arms and hands. It was sometimes slightly overwhelming but generally pleasant. The therapist came across as both friendly and professional. Over the days afterwards, I felt a lot more aware of my physical and emotional self. I would say it is relaxing and has a feel-good factor. I will be going back!

He can see straight to your pain, whether it´s in your shoulders, back, or all-around exhaustion. Not only does he know how to release it, but he´ll also change the way you deal with it in the future—highly recommended.

My right ankle had trouble after a strain. Sadly, I had to stop trekking and dancing tango, two of my favourite hobbies. After two massage cycles, I can now go for long walks, and I even managed to dance for three consecutive hours! Thanks, Ben!

Positive Feedback for Massaggi on Trip Advisor
Massage therapist is an inadequate description of what Ben Pianese does. He is a healer. I have suffered for years from lower back and neck pain due to sports injuries. In addition, since having to stop running long distances due to knee problems, my legs have become increasingly sensitive to pressure. I have been to many, many massage therapists in London, and even after five consecutive days with them, the relief has been limited to nil. With Ben, I can honestly say that I felt a massive difference after the first session. I have gone to additional sessions, and I am finally finding some relief to the point that I honestly believe I won’t need to take a daily pain reliever to tolerate the pain in my neck and back. I wish Ben were not here only in the UK, as I live permanently in the States. He sets the standard by which I will judge any future massage therapy sessions, and I honestly do not believe I will find someone as thorough and excellent in ability as Ben. Thanks, Ben!

I’ve had my hamstring sports injury for the last 1-2 years, and I can say without hesitation that Ben Pianese sports massage was by far more effective than any other massage technique I’ve ever had; all this after only one session! I could feel all the toxins begin to disperse a few hours later, and the next day, the other muscles linked to the hamstring had released – my leg felt so much lighter! Thank you, Ben, for such a sports massage tailored to your client’s needs. I’ll be having regular massages with you starting now! 5*s for excellent service and professionalism.

I booked a massage for my boyfriend as a birthday present. He was amazed at how fantastic, professional, and great Ben’s massage was. It helped with back pain, muscle tension, etc. I very much recommend Massagi and Ben to all. Excellent, professional, outstanding.

Wunderlustlondon named Us one of the Best Facilities in London
Massaggi piqued our interest due to their proven results and established clientele. After trying them out, it was easy to see why they had established themselves as a massage clinic in London.
Ben Pianese, the owner of this sports massage clinic, has been in business for over 20 years. From what we’ve seen, they appear to specialize in a holistic approach to massage.
Ben, the company’s founder, got the idea for the company after experiencing post-surgical pain himself. This prompted him to investigate new approaches and better understand pain and its underlying pathology.
One thing that sets them apart is that they offer unique wellness methods in addition to massages. They have “Magrin Method” coaching sessions, for example. Andrea Magrin developed this technique for emotional release. As previously stated, they go beyond massages and even address emotional health concerns.
They also offer NST Bowen Technique massages and Reconnective Healing.
