Testimonials
'I could barely run when I found Felipe and he’s got me back on the road through targeted massage therapy and also expert advice. I really recommend Felipe to anyone looking for some relief from sport or stress related muscular issues. Felipe is now part of my routine and I’m training loads better and even racing, which I thought was impossible!'
Had problems with upper hamstring from December to April - felt it every time I drove and during every run for 4 months. Since my massage from Felipe 2 weeks ago, I haven’t felt it during a drive or a run - almost like magic! Didn’t even feel it during the late stages of the Manchester Marathon. Highly recommend.
'I have just had the most incredible a Sports Massage by Felipe. After being told, while living and training with the Kenyans, "you must massage at least once a week to be able to train properly and become fast", I have struggle to find anyone who came close to the massages they give, however Filipe delivered the goods and I can not recommend him enough. He found every bit of tension in my legs, persisted with me to work with him while he broke down the muscle fibers and I already feel a better range of motion. It's clear I need a lot more work doing however here's to hoping to at least a 0.5% marginal gain from that for my half on sunday 🤞Thanks Filipe, you got yourself a new customer!!!'

“Felipe assisted me with a quick return to running after an achilles strain. Felipe is a genuine, friendly guy who made me feel comfortable during our sessions. Despite the pain element (good pain obviously), the experience was a good one. Felipe works around client's availability and goes the extra mile sending helpful tips and videos on stretches and strengthening exercises to aid recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend!”
KERRY ANDERSON
Felipe came to me yesterday to try and sort a lower back problem I've had since January this year. I am battered and bruised but good grief what a difference! This is the first morning I've woken up in no pain for nearly a year! Highly recommended.
FRANCES CARNALL
'I would definitely recommend Felipe’s sports massages. He is so professional and still had a chat with me even while I was squirming on his table! Although the massage was painful I did notice results straight away, I would definitely have Felipe again for any other injuries.'
GEORGIA BALL
"Felipe helped both myself and my husband with sports injuries and I can honestly say what a professional service he gave! We were both back to normal in no time, my husband didn't even think he would be able to go on our ski holiday but with Felipe's help he managed to ski all week with no problem. A service we would both definitely recommend!"
STEPHANIE HICKTON
“I’ve been having sports massages from Felipe for the past couple of years and can highly recommend him. My monthly maintenance massages have helped keep me running and racing regularly (keeping me injury free through two heavy marathon training blocks) and keeping my legs fresh and niggle free! All this in the comfort of my own home, Felipe is very friendly and professional and always offers me great advice on stretching and supplementary exercises to do.”

HEATHER WEBSTER
“Thanks to Felipe my Plantar Fasciitus issues, which I suffered with for four years, are gone. I tried everything to cure it but eventually after three or four sessions with Felipe it was gone and more importantly has stayed gone. Felipe certainly took getting me fit again very seriously. Always reliable and willing to fit massages around my other commitments. I can't recommend him enough.”
MARCUS ADAMS
'Thank you to Felipe del Solar for his massages after my 110 mile ultra run. My sore quads and calves needed attention to help me recover in time for my next race, soon after the 110. Felipe’s expertise and technique set me up well, to toe the start line for a 60 miler. I’ll use his service again as I prepare for my next ultra. I can highly recommend his massages to other runners for maintenance or as part of a recovery programme.'

"Felipe has gone above and beyond to help me get injury free. His massages are great and he tailors them to ensure they give me the most benefit. Felipe has also spent his own time researching my injury so that he could let me know what stretches and excises would help me in addition to the messages. Thanks Felipe!!."

I had a tight Achilles back in Jan and Feb. It was 90% better after his initial visit and 100% better after the second visit. Felipe really knows his stuff, is a top guy and I would highly recommend him!
“I have known Felipe for a few years and have suffered with back problems for much longer. Felipe is a first class sports masseur who resolved my back spasms in one session and even better he does it in the comfort of your own home. Keep up the good work Felipe.”
MARK FOWLER
I have regular massages with Felipe del Solar as a yoga teacher is very much needed. I have recently suffered with tennis elbow and even though the release was very painful (good pain) to be rid of the dull aching sensation is great (and to not have to have a steroid injection) so Thanks Felipe.
AMY GEAR
I've been having Felipe now for the last couple of years helping me with my injuries and niggles and can say that he has done a fantastic job and would recommend him to anybody struggling with injuries or just to have a regular maintenance program.
JOHN GOLLINGS
'I can not thank Felipe enough. I have had stiffness and tightness in my glute. I really needed a massage and was so worried that because of the lockdown I would go further down the road of no recovery. Felipe posted me exercises and videos and I am now getting better each day. I can not thank Felipe enough.'
SARAH PERCIVAL
I recently had a sport massage from Felipe, he did a great job on my legs, they now feel refreshed and ready for some more marathon training. I would recommend him! He also gave me some tips on strength and stretches to help with little niggles.
GILLIAN BURGON
"Felipe is a fantastic masseur and I’d highly recommend him. I had massive problems with my glutes and was injured for 3 months before seeing Felipe. Through his treatment, I was back training for my Ironman which I completed successfully in June 2017. I then realised I needed to look after my body more so I now use Felipe once a month. I’ve now completed London marathon in 2018 and training for Berlin in September– all with the help of Felipe and his massages. He’s also a great guy, friendly and gives great advice to stay injury free. Plus he comes to our home so it’s so convenient to fit around work and training."
ANDREW TODD
I compete for TeamGB in age group international events and see Felipe before I go away to help with muscle soreness and get me in tip-top condition. He is extremely friendly and I feel safe and relaxed. he works wonders and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
FIONA KESTEVEN TeamGB Triathlete
Having completely overdone the miles running during lockdown I was struggling with painful calves, hamstrings and a dodgy glute! After an hour of “good pain” with Felipe it feels 100x better. Now trying to balance the miles with regular massages from Felipe to keep me plodding on and stop me falling apart. Thanks Felipe!

STUART CARRACK
'What a lovely guy! Made me feel completely comfortable. Loosened up my tight calves and checked on me afterwards to make sure I was fine. Can now understand why my North Derbyshire run club friends recommend him. Will be using again as I up my training. Thoroughly recommend.'
NAOMI SWAIN
I have used Felipe’s massage services a number of times over the last few years. His response time is fantastic. He is extremely flexible, which increases the chances of getting any issues fixed quickly. The fact he comes to your home also makes a big difference. Apart from loosening my legs up after weeks of marathon training in preparation for the big big day, Felipe has resolved ongoing issues I had with soreness and tightness in my calves. He generally offers great advice. Highly recommended.
SCOTT LIDDLE
I can’t recommend Felipe highly enough. His massages are highly effective, painful at times granted, but he has been able to get me back on my feet at a moment’s notice. I have had the luxury of a post-marathon gentle massage as well as emergency “please sort out this muscle ASAP” type massage and Felipe is always on hand to help. Thank you Felipe, you’re a star!
SARAH JOHNSON PT
'I have had a few sports massages and, for me, Felipe’s are the best.
He doesn’t hold back and you may get some pain but it is well worth it for the results.'
KEVIN MEGSON
'Felipe has always helped manage my symptoms with years of struggling with injury. He is dedicated to helping you overcome problems and is always looking at helping create a plan that works for you and him. He has always managed to fit me in when busy and has become a good friend. He offers a wide range of techniques to suit everyone’s needs.'
HELENA SCHOFIELD
After suffering from plantar fasciitis for 5 years I had given up on ever being cured.
After one session with Felipe I was able to walk and work pain free for the first time in months. Felipe has succeeded where cortisone injections and private and NHS podiatrists have failed to help me. I can not recommend him highly enough.
SIMON SMITH
My partner & I both had our first massage by Felipe today. What can I say 12/10, absolutely fantastic can not recommend him enough!!! Never felt so relaxed. Best massage ever!!! Will be booking him again for 2/52 time. Thank you Felipe xx

CHRISTO LIASKOS
I’ve been using Felipe for sports massage for just over 6 months now and can’t recommend him enough. He’s genuinely concerned about any sports injuries I have had and always puts them right using his expertise and various techniques. He’s very conscientious in what he does, the best in the area by far. 10/10
JONNY WRIGHT
Thanks Felipe. Pulled a calf muscle and couldn’t bear weight properly but after a session it was massively improved. Was doing gentle running within a week. Previously been out for 6 weeks with the same injury. Can’t lie - it was pretty painful. Definitely worth it. Will definitely be back.
ALISTAIR TAIT
When the mileage increases during marathon training so do the aches and pains. Felipe will soon get you running again pain free, very professional service!
STEVEN WESTON
With another Marathon looming I booked in to see Felipe to make sure I was in the best possible shape. Felipe worked wonders and was able to work out all the kinks and tightness, can’t recommend Felipe enough if you’ve got a big run coming up or for regular maintenance.
SCOTT BLANKS
I have had many sports massages from Felipe and I can highly recommend him. He is brilliant at loosening really tight muscles and he has helped keep me injury free during marathon training to help me achieve my marathon pb. He is also very nice and friendly too. Thank you Felipe.
MATTHEW BURDEN
I had my first sports massage with Felipe yesterday. I’m training for a half marathon and injured my knee, it was too painful to run. I’ve just been for a my first run after the massage and it felt amazing, such a huge improvement. I’d highly recommend Felipe!
JENNY CHEETHAM
I highly recommend a sports massage by Felipe. He always knows how to help me and how to make my legs free from pain. Monthly maintenance massages help me keep running injuries away. I do love feeling the difference after the massage when my legs are so fresh and tight free. Felipe is a very caring person and he always check if everything is OK a day/few days after a massage. He always give me some very useful tips.

'Felipe del Solar gave me great advice during lockdown with a couple of problems I had.'
“I loved it,” seemed a bit strong at the time of the calf massage..... However, I do love the fact that I can run pain free again.
Recommended highly.
Thanks, Felipe.
DEE WILLIAMS
Thanks again to Felipe for his work on my calf. I’m up and moving much better than for months and my confidence is growing day by day that I am well on the road to recovery. My only regret is that I didn’t call Felipe sooner but I know that next time I injure myself I’ll be straight onto him for a rapid route to recovery.
DOMINIC WATTS
'Great advice from Felipe del Solar around 5 weeks ago and kept up the simple but effective exercises which has led me to start running'
ANDREW WOFFINDIN
'Felipe has been fantastic. I can not thank him enough. I wish I hadn’t have wasted hundreds on a physio.​'
SARAH PERCIVAL
Totally recommend Felipe, long runs were taking their toll. My right Achilles and my right shoulder were suffering. Felt so much better after a massage by Felipe Del Solar Ancarola, he used Graston Technique which proved to be incredibly effective on my Achilles in particular. A week on, I am niggle free and legs are feeling strong.
CATHERINE McKEOWN
I went for this 1hour special on Sunday and can’t recommend Felipe Del Solar Ancarola enough. I went for a speedy run tonight and all my working from home niggles are gone!

I would definitely recommend him. Thanks Felipe! :)'

SOPHIE LOUISE
I’ve been suffering from chronic neck pain, after two sessions, my physio recommended that I invest in some deep tissue massages. I booked in with Felipe del Solar. I had our first session this morning and yes I am very sore, but I feel so much better. My neck is less stiff and not as painful. Felipe is very professional and competent. I highly recommend him. He gave me advice on stretches and heat treatments which was also in line with what my physio had recommend. Felipe also took the time to message me afterwards to find out how I was, he did say I’d feel sore for a couple of days but apart from this my ROM with my neck has improved significantly already. Thank you Felipe.
LISA FARLIN
'Agreed- great professional service. Would highly recommend. Worked wonders on my ankle. I will definitely be getting him back before London Marathon.'
SARAH WARD
I can highly recommend Felipe! I had a two-hour relaxation massage which included Indian head massage and it was pure bliss. Filipe was extremely professional and put me at ease straight away. Following the treatment, I felt totally relaxed and the few niggles in my back which had previously been bothering me had completely resolved. I'm looking forward to booking in again soon! Many thanks
MELISSA LOCKWOOD

DAVID MILLNS
'I would 100% recommend Felipe Del Solar. I recently had some calf trouble and he sorted it out in one session. I am now running pain-free. Do not hesitate to book if you are suffering.
TOM BRIDDOCK
CAZ KAY
TeamGB Triathlete
I recently saw Felipe for a sports massage in preparation for a race. I used Felipe's mobile service and enjoyed the treatment from the comfort of my home. This worked well for me and was easier to fit into my busy schedule of work, training and kids. The massage was excellent and he always checked to see if the amount of pressure applied was ok. The massage went very deep into my muscles and my legs felt incredible afterwards. As a Team GB age-group triathlete, my training is very intense before a race and my legs are constantly 'worked'. It was exactly what I wanted in a sports massage and a great way to start my taper. I will definitely use Felipe again :)
'I can't recommend Felipe enough, I've had ongoing issues in my neck and lower back since having children and Felipe always relives the pain and makes me more mobile. His massage is strong but he'll always adjust to your needs and is so convenient being mobile. He's highly professional and he's my first call when things start getting sore!'
KERI FLOOD
'Felipe has been looking after my legs and back for the last couple of years and doing it very well indeed! 2 years ago I could walk with some pain but couldn't run, which was very difficult for me physically and mentally. I found Felipe and my life changed so much for the better, with Felipe identifying knots in my glutes that other professionals hadn't found ! He removed them and I've been running again since then and getting faster and faster with every session with Felipe!'
BRIAN REYNOLDS
With another Marathon looming I booked in to see Felipe to make sure I was in the best possible shape. Felipe worked wonders and was able to work out all the kinks and tightness, can't recommend Felipe enough if you've got a big run coming up or for regular maintenance :)
SCOTT BLANKS
'Felipe was recommended to me by other members of our running club. He is extremely professional, listens to your needs and applies his knowledge to address those needs. After only a couple of sessions with him I felt much looser and pain free than I had in months. I will certainly be going back when needed.'
VICTORIA HAWKINS
Excellent service provided. Would recommend! worked wonders for my chronic condition and the most comfortable I've been in months. Really friendly and knowledgeable. Put me at ease straight away and explained eveything he was doing. I had a sports style massage and although sore its worked amazingly and I feel so much better for it. I would recommend him and will certainly be seeing him again in the future.
SIANNA MURPHY
I got in touch after having lower back pain for a couple of weeks. I can't believe the difference already! Felipe also went through numerous stretches to do which I've continued to do and it's helped so much. I would highly recommend to everyone! very professional and Covid safe too.
Thank you again Felipe!
ELLIE McLOUGHLIN
Would highly recommend a massage by Felipe. He has helped get me back and running again on several occasions after problems with ITB and later an issue with ankle tendon. Each time he quickly identifies the tight problem areas and has led to rapid relief of symptoms. As well as providing helpful info on prevention. Thankyou felipe.
CARLENE ROWSON
'After hip and glute tightness stopped me from running in 2020, I saw Felipe for a sports massage. After two sessions (the first painful, but worth it!!) I was able to run again. I couldn't believe it, because at points I couldn't walk properly, let alone run.
Felipe is genuine, friendly and kind. He is very accommodating and will always go out if his way to offer an appointment at a time to suit. I now see Felipe regularly and would recommend him to any runner.'
JULIE COOPER
Really highly recommend Felipe, he really cares about what he does. He listens to your issues and niggles and works with you to help you get back to your best. He is very friendly and extremely professional totally puts you at ease. I can't recommend highly enough
LUCY SMITH
My wife has been seeing a physio for 4 months with a nerve problem in her back. She has made some progress with the physio but she has had 1 massage with Felipe and she is 80% better. She was very nervous about the massage but Felipe was very friendly and professional. He has messaged her every day after to check on her and this has given her the confidence to think about running again soon. Top service and top guy. I have also been having massages from Felipe which helped me run my 1st marathon in sub 4 hours. Cannot recommend enough.
DARREN JACKSON
I've been suffering with knee pain & shoulder pain, I've had 2 sessions with Felipe & he has worked wonders!! The pain has reduced significantly in my knee & shoulder & he has given me specific exercises to help improve too. Highly recommend Felipe.
KATE UNSWORTH
Wonderful sports massage from Felipe Del Solar Ancarola last night. Worked out all of the niggling pain in my hip flexors. Felipe del Solar has been treating me and my husband for nearly 6 years. He is very knowledgeable and professional and we would highly recommend him. All covid safe too!
ELLIE REYNOLDS
'Thank you Felipe for my my sports massage at the weekend. It was really helpful to get some relief from my tight hamstring.
Glad you can continue working with Covid restrictions'
‘Felipe offers an excellent friendly sports massage service. He is intuitive and highly skilled in his practice, which I have rarely experienced before with a genuine interest and care for what he does. He has worked out knots and pains that I have had for years through climbing. I will be returning for another massage in the future, thank you Felipe!´
