The verruca is now gone and I am able to walk again without pain – I feel a different person. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back with any future problems and highly recommend Luigi to anyone looking for a podiatrist.
The clinic only offers massage four days per week, don't offer walk-ups and they are booked up for weeks in advance - obviously a sign of its popularity.
I was slightly unnerved when I commented at the beginning that the massage therapist's hands were lovely and warm and she said, "Oh, that's good, in winter I sometimes get complaints and have to apologise". I'm sure she's just young but an expert masseur always prepares their hands in advance so they're never cold for a client.
I went for a 60-minute massage, hoping for a full body treatment. I requested 30 minutes on my back; 30 minutes rest of body. What I received was only back and arms treatment. I believe I was only asked once how the pressure was (though I probably talked too much in an effort to get to know the therapist). I was asked whether I minded glute treatment and I said no, knowing that this is necessary to treat lower back pain. As I had lower back pain I was surprised that the therapist didn't then do any glute treatment at all (!). However, the massage was in general invigorating and efficient, and the therapist kind and friendly.
Perhaps I'm too used to hard, slow deep tissue massage (I usually have combination Thai/deep tissue) in an environment of soothing music and aromatherapy - I prefer really strong, deep effleurage and the use of elbows etc. whereas this experience was more a sports style (though I think the clinic states this on its website) and not as hard as I'm used to. It was also in a fully lit room with no music.
I would have given them two stars but for these reasons: a) I'm grateful the clinic made an effort to slot me in last minute on 28.05.21 b) I'm grateful the Mind Body Clinic exists in Tonbridge and offers a variety of services c) the therapist was friendly and did some good work, as well as giving me a discount for not having done my whole body when she'd said she would.
