Trusted by Athletes & Everyday Bodies Alike
From world-stage competitors to people beating years of chronic pain — here's what they say after working with Vince.
"I have been working with Vince since competing at the 2025 World Championships, recovering from several injuries and addressing structural issues affecting my Olympic weightlifting training. Since starting treatment I have experienced a noticeable reduction in pain and injury, improved mobility and movement quality, and significant progress correcting structural imbalances. I would highly recommend Vince to athletes, or anyone looking for a professional who focuses not only on short-term pain relief, but on identifying and correcting the underlying cause."
Karl McClean
Weightlifter · 2025 World Championships
"Brilliant set up and Vince is very knowledgeable. He has worked magic with my daughter, keeping her body in top condition for her elite level boxing. With his help we can add to her 7 national titles and keep her as number 1 in Ireland and the UK."
Daniel Nickels
Father & coach to Paige Nickels
"Vince is very good at his job, his knowledge and support is incredible. Any issue you have he will help you with it. Highly recommend."
Fae Armitage
Physique competitor
"Vince is a master of working with the body. I've been to physios before, but never have I experienced such targeted and thorough deep tissue work. After visiting therapists with years of chronic issues, Vince had me feeling brand new in a matter of weeks. Amazing attention to detail, truly tuning everything to your specific needs. Such a kind and warm person too. Top class!"
Miriam Marshall

"First time visiting a bodywork therapist and I walked away feeling limber. Vince began with an assessment, had me sit down then explained his findings and what he was going to do to help fix it. Good sleep has returned to my life since then but if you were to ask me what was the highlight of the session, I'd tell you it was the wisdom I walked away with after an hour's conversation with Vince. 10/10 recommend."
Matthew Martin
First Visit
"Vince enthusiastically shared his knowledge of physiology and movement mechanics, he is well trained and explains concepts in a way that anyone can understand, and most importantly, begin to implement immediately. Vince radiates kindness and compassion. You are safe in his hands!"

Client
"I seen Vince for the 1st appointment yesterday. I'm 60 and haven't been particularly kind to my body over the years mainly due to excessive mileage on motorcycles. I gave Vince a fairly concise description of my various aches and came away very happy with his work. I've been to other great therapists over the years and can therefore confirm Vince definitely knows his business. Really looking forward to the next session. Do yourself a favour and give him a call."
