I’ve been to Backsmiths multiple times before and have always had positive experiences with the other RMTs, which is why this particular experience was especially disappointing. My interaction with Christina Skinner started off poorly during the initial phone call when I called to clarify a booking. Her tone felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which already made me feel uneasy, but I still decided to proceed with the appointment. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse in person. There was an issue with setting up my insurance, and instead of feeling supported, I felt like I was inconveniencing her by asking for help. Her attitude and lack of interest in providing service made the entire interaction uncomfortable and discouraging. In the end, I felt so uneasy that I decided to cancel the service altogether. As someone who has previously enjoyed coming to this clinic, this experience was a huge disappointment.

Came to Backsmiths with a very locked up/seized back & neck. Chris S. listened to my background and with my input he figured out the root cause. The massage was very effective at loosening up my back & neck. The session availability was excellent and worked with my schedule. Appreciate the weekend hours too. Will becoming back for follow-up. Thanks Chris S. & Backsmiths

Incredible Therapeutic Massage! RMT Chris S. is the OG! Came here for a reset on my tired body. Chris hit all my trigger points and focused the work on those areas. It really released my tight knots and he was really professional about explaining what he was doing when asked. I am going to book another appointment next week! For those looking to try a new RMT, I completely suggest the Backsmiths, you won't regret the decision!

I had an incredible experience with my Thai Massage Therapist Chris, who is also a Registered Massage Therapist. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and kind. After trying Thai massage with him, I noticed real and lasting changes in my body more calmness, better circulation, and a sense of balance that’s hard to put into words. Even in my day-to-day life and in my work as a performer, I’ve felt a noticeable difference in my energy, flexibility, and overall physical comfort. My body feels more open and responsive in a way I hadn’t experienced before. This wasn’t just a massage, it was a truly transformative experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for genuine, high-quality care.

This has been the best clinic I have ever been, I have been in so many clinic but this one is the best, they listen to you give you examination and perfect treatment for you. I had lower back pain and within the first two treatments my pain was 80% gone and Monquie is so sweet and welcoming as well as Ali. I’m very happy to get treatment and will continue to do the treatment

Note: If you have Asthma or sensitive lungs, I do want to give a heads up that this is not a scent-free clinic. Just had a massage with Tara and wow, she is amazing! 💆‍♀️ The pressure was perfect and her technique was so unique—loved the little stretches she added in. You can tell she really pays attention to detail and genuinely cares about making you comfortable. Honestly, one of the nicest and kindest people I’ve met in this line of work. Good vibes and skillful in what she does!

Edit: Heard from Chris the owner and explained the RMT was let go for conduct. He offered a sincere apology and complimentary massage, and while appreciative, declined the free massage. Very professional and attentive. Will give them another try! Thanks Chris! Booked my first massage here for a 2pm time frame and arrived at 1:50. Was told shortly after that my therapist was running a few minutes late and asked if I wanted a drink, which was nice and understandable. I waited until 2:20pm then left. Didn't hear a peep after. No apology or attempt to make it better, which was a bit surprising.

I have been coming to this place for a few years now. For me personally. I have had much better luck going here than to physio. The chiropractors are good at what they do. The Natural Dr. they have on site is also amazing! Have not ever had a massage there. However the massage team seems quite busy.

My favourite massage practice by far in London. I've been a regular at The Backsmiths since it opened and have never gotten a bad massage. Always super clean inside. Tons of parking. Waiting room is nice with free coffee and water. It is far from me but when I originally tried other clinics closer to my home I was extremely disappointed. Highly recommend.

I had a persistent pain in my left shoulder for several months, which was manageable but annoying. I decided to see Dr. Ali before the year ended, using my insurance coverage. I had no expectations, but after just four visits, the pain completely disappeared! This was a wonderful surprise and a fantastic way to start the new year. Dr. Ali's expertise and care made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective chiropractic treatment!
