About Redfern
Hi, I'm Luke.
Redfern Remedial Massage is a private, one-to-one soft tissue therapy practice run from my home studio in Brislington, Bristol.
I trained in Soft Tissue Therapy at the London School of Soft Tissue Therapy (formerly the London School of Sports Massage), on a course originally created by Mel Cash - the practitioner credited with coining the term "sports massage" itself, who has also taught me directly. My training was led day-to-day by Sarah Tidey, who has worked at multiple Olympic Games and remains the resident massage therapist for the British Sailing team. I'm a registered member of the Institute for Soft Tissue Therapists (ISRM), and every session is fully insured through Balens.
My approach is person-centred: rather than working through a fixed routine, I start with a proper assessment, listen to what you tell me about your body, and adjust pressure and technique as we go. Whether you're managing chronic tension, recovering from training, or dealing with a specific problem area, the aim is always the same - find out what's actually going on, and treat that.

"Luke is really dedicated to finding the route of your problems and how to help to fix them rather than just a going through the motions massage, which is extremely important when you suffer like I do with consistent back aches. He does this by using constant communication and moving your body to work out where the issue is coming from. He understood that I like a real deep pressure rather than a soft relaxing massage and adjusted to my needs. I would highly recommend him especially for anyone who suffers from body pains."

"I visited Luke today for the first time for a deep tissue massage. Luke conducted a really thorough assessment and really listened to my concerns. He then tailored the massage to the areas where I was experiencing discomfort and tightness. I have to say it is the most intensive massage I have had in a long time and the relief it has given me in terms of my shoulder and neck pain is pretty amazing. I am definitely going back and would highly recommend Luke. Not only is he a friendly and nice guy, he also knows his stuff. Thank you Luke."

"I've been seeing Luke for massage for a while now and honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. His technique is deep and slow - really gets into the tissue without ever feeling rough or rushed. What sets him apart is how present and aware he is throughout; he reads the body well and adjusts accordingly. There's a real sense of safety and trust in his sessions, which makes it easy to fully relax and let go. I always leave feeling like my body has been properly looked after - genuinely held and restored, not just rubbed down."
