Feedback from Clients

Kevin is the only person to actually get rid of the awful pain in my hip and back (in 1 session!!) after years of going to countless physios. I actually woke up this morning with no pain in my hip for the first time in years!

I can't recommend Kevin's Tuina massage enough. After 30 years of chronic muscle tension with symptoms of low back, calf, neck pain and cluster headaches, this is the most pain free I have ever experienced. In just a few session's I felt considerable improvement.

Tuina massage has eased my aches and pains away that previous methods (physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic) did not. My headaches are less frequent and I generally feel better in myself.
I highly recommend Kevin without hesitation, his easy manner and high level of professionalism puts you totally at ease and his results speak for themselves.

I had one treatment and I was very pleased I tried this out. Following this I booked 2 courses of 5 treatments. The aim was to treat an injury after a car accident and general back & shoulder stiffness from having a job involving sitting huddled over a computer for much of the day. Kevin is very professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Having someone you can trust and respect for their holistic, thorough and tailored approach made a huge difference to the recovery process. I always felt treated as an individual with the approach varied on each visit according to my needs. Kevin listens and adapts his approach accordingly as he monitors progress. I live in a little village in Halifax so to get to the 1/2 hour treatments it was a 3 hour round trip. The fact that I was willing to do this on 10 occasions is a testament to how valuable I found the treatments. I always left feeling more positive, relaxed and more flexible as Kevin quickly put me at ease with his friendly but intelligent conversation. I would have no hesitation in recommending this clinic and its treatments to any of my friends or family. If I am ever in need of further treatments myself I will definitely consider the clinic as my first point of contact.

Firstly wanted to say thank you for helping me with my arm; at first I didn't think my pins and needles would ever go away.
Then after a few treatments the pins and needles became less frequent. However, I still didn't believe they we completely disappear.
When I finished my last treatment, I thought my arm would just go back to how it was. Surprisingly though, it didn't. It doesn't only feel better but the pins and needles are completely gone.

A bit about Kevin Chiorando Meredith

Kevin has trained in internal martial arts (Tai Ji Quan, Hsing Yi and Ba Gua Zhang) since Feb 2000. After a brief stint in Japanese and Korean martial arts he met a Tai Chi teacher in Leeds that heightened his interest in the internal arts and started learning Sun style Tai Chi. After a few years he met a Chinese Tai Chi Instructor called Song Chun Yu who had studied under Li De Yin and other masters for many years. From Chun Yu he studied 42 step Tai Ji sword and Yang Tai Chi.
After 2 years of training with both teachers in Leeds, Kevin was invited to go back to China with Chun Yu to train and meet his teachers and learn Qi Gong from his mother (a very sought after Qi Gong and acupuncture master). He lived with the family and trained with Chun Yu's masters, Grand master Wu Bin & Wu Wen Han and trained with the family in Tai Chi and Qi Gong. After traveling to China Kevin visited 3 more times to train with different masters in Tai Chi, Hsing Yi Quan in Beijing and Shaolin Long Fist at the Shaolin temple.
After his last trip in 2008 he also discovered Tuina massage which, on return, went on to train and become qualified at The Northern College Of Acupuncture. In 2009 he ran successful clinics at the college and then opened his own clinic.
Now Kevin trains and teaches Kung Fu & Tai Chi for health and self defence and runs a Tuina clinic in Hale, Altrincham, Manchester.
