What people are saying?
Timo has been a life saver for me during long runs of eight shows a week, both during La Cage Aux Folles and Inadmissable Evidence at the Donmar and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Drury Lane. He is the only person I have found who truly understands that the voice is a muscle and needs working on like any other part of the body. His massage is expert, recuperative and preventative. I certainly always came out with a few extra notes at the bottom of my range! I'd recommend him to any artist who has needs their voice in top shape for every show.

Timo worked miracles at the Royal Ballet. I would highly recommend him.

Timo if you didn’t exist, god would have invented you!
Sylvie Guillem Former principal ballerina of the Royal Ballet
Big thank you Timo for all your great work on my body.

I’ve been seeing Timo for nearly 10 years and I highly recommend his services. He’s very professional and knowledgeable, and a very kind person too. He’s helped me greatly with a sore back and foot pain and I now try to go on a monthly basis to release tension in my back. He’s the best therapist I’ve had and I feel very lucky I got to know him, after a friend recommended him.
Aurélie L'Hostis
Totally recommended! As a professional opera singer who has suffered a lot from muscle tension dysphonia in the past, I had previously tried several voice massage therapists, to different degrees of success, but once I found Timo, that was it. I have been going to him regularly since 2018, and he is by far the best, in my experience. My larynx and voice feel completely free after each treatment, and he doesn't only focus on the laryngeal muscles, but also intercostals and diaphragm, jaw, and everything involved in voice production. On top of that, Timo is really professional, reliable and friendly. Do not hesitate to try his treatment yourself!
Jorge Navarro Colorado Opera Singer
Very professional and knowledgeable, and my body and voice felt amazing afterward! I'd recommend Timo to anyone.
Ben Kazez Opera Singer
I am a professional voice user and have been seeing Timo for vocal massage for 8 years. The best thing about Timo’s voice massage compared to other therapies is how much he can achieve in one 60 minute session. Timo works very holistically starting with freeing the breathing system and then working up to the larynx, tongue and jaw. Timo’s massages are very strong and as such I think are good value for money. He is also very professional and accommodating and is able to offer further advice should you need it.
Katy Huntley Opera Singer
I’m a professional singer, I see Timo regularly for Vocal Massage and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He knows absolutely everything about the function of the larynx and associated structures and where micro tensions can build up in professional voice users over time. This treatment helps manage those things and keep my voice at its best. He is incredibly calm and professional, he always asks and listens to my sense of where any particular issues are and adapts his treatment accordingly. I have also on occasion seen him for a full body massage which was also excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending him to everyone I know!
Becky Ramsey Opera Singer
Timo is an excellent sports masseur who has successfully dealt with my previously intractable and recurrent running related calf problems to the point that they are now largely in the past. He has been very effective against various other strains in my legs and back over many years. Has helped massively in both injury prevention and healing. Very professional, skilled, and a good guy who I unreservedly recommend.
Paul Casey
Really great body and vocal massage. Timo is really nice, professional, and personable. I've been seeing him for two years now, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help for specific issues or just general massage.
Bethany Horak-Hallett Opera Singer
Timo is a life saviour. He is very skilled at finding exactly where my pain is coming from and knows how to work it through so that it finally releases. He’s the only one who managed to help me with my neck and back pains, plantar fasciitis and so on.
It’s not a spa vibe, it’s a place to get actual help with your pains and I couldn’t recommend him more.
He’s also very knowledgeable about athletes and dancers particular issues.
Aurélie Bouzelmat
I've been seeing Timo for over 10 years for deep tissue massages and can't speak highly enough about his abilities. Timo tailors each session according to any aches, pains or restrictions I might have and then intensively works on those areas. After each session I find I move more fluidly and feel incredibly relaxed and pain free. Timo is also really great company and has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of his clients. While there are are lots of masseurs out there, there's no one else that I've found who's anywhere near as good as Timo.
Philip Candice
Timo is top notch. I've been seeing him for over four years both for general purpose "tune ups" to keep me ready to dance as well as for more targeted massage when I occasionally injure myself due to overexertion. He checks in at the start of each session and modifies the therapy to address any immediate and particular concerns that I have going on. Professional, sensitive and experienced working with athletes. I'm very glad I found him and look forward to continuing to see him.
Kent Collins
I have been seeing Timo for over a year now on a regular basis. He is absolutely brilliant. I had tried a number of vocal massage practitioners before and they pale in comparison to Timo. He has magic hands. I come away from every session with my voice working like a well-oiled machine. I could not recommend him highly enough. Thank you Timo!
Tom Bennet Opera Singer
Calling all singers, Voice professionals and Singing Teachers. This testimonial is to tell you about the amazing Timo Massage Therapy, an incredible masseur based at Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden
Timo is a brilliant practitioner and one of his many specialities is vocal massage. This covers the back, shoulders, neck, larynx, tongue and if you are feel particularly sadistic the jaw.
There is nothing like it if you are experiencing vocal tension or fatigue, or just want to treat yourself to a little restoration
I have been visiting Timo for about 10 years now and I have never once been disappointed. On the contrary, I always come out vocally refreshed, relaxed and calm. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Anna Siderisa-Dupuy Opera Singer
As a very dedicated marathon runner, I‘ve been seeing Timo for years. He is hands down the best massage therapist in London. He got me back from various injuries, prepared my legs for 3 marathons and made sure the recovery went smoohly. He is not only a fantastic massage therapist but a wonderful human too. Can highly recommend him!
Sara Roloff
I’ve been seeing Timo on and off for about 5 years. He’s helped prevent and fix a lot of cycling related aches and injuries and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Professional, welcoming, reliable, talented. A gem 💎 hidden in Covent Garden.
Aleda Fitzpatrick
I have been having regular sports massage with Timo over the last 12 months, which has enabled me to complete 2 marathons (post kids and turning 40) with no injuries. He's highly professional and would 100% recommend to athletes and anyone looking for an excellent massage.
Liz Watson
Great therapist with lot of experience! If you are looking for someone to help you release muscles, he is your guy…
Nathan Ohayan
I have been receiving deep tissue massage from Timo for a few years and it has really helped my sports performance. I suffer from very tight muscles and Timo always succeeds in releasing any tension. You will leave his studio feeling light and flexible. He is very professional an I highly recommend.
Angie Fenton
Timo is an excellent massage therapist. So conveniently located in Covent Garden at Pineapple dance studios. I’ve been seeing him both for preventative muscle release and also specific targeted work and he is brilliant. He knows a dancers body so well and I trust him completely. Highly recommend him for treatment!
Sebastian Goffin
I have been to see Timo a number of times over the last few years. His sports massages have really helped me recover from specific injuries quickly but have also helped with just relieving tight muscles that mean I can continue dancing pain free and with full flexibility.
Tim Garrad
Timo has been now for ten years my go-to for cycling injuries and other muscular complaints. I can’t recommend him strongly enough!
Richard Lofthouse
Having run marathons and ultra marathons for decades, Timo is hands down the best sport masseur I've ever known. I was intro'ed to Timo by my coach, who is one of the top 20 ultra runners in the world, and whenever I have a niggle, his question to me is 'Have you seen Timo?'.
Timo has magic hands, a warm heart and superpowers to get you moving again like you're at least a few years younger!
Dan Irwin
I started seeing Timo 2 years ago due to pain from an injury caused by viral nerve damage, and I have since been seeing him regularly as maintenance to prevent injuries and increase mobility.
I spend most of my day working hunched over a desk, but with Timo’s help to counteract this, I can enjoy my hobby of strength training with less risk of injury. Now, at 57 years of age, I am able to train harder than ever.
I definitely feel the benefit of the massages, both in office life and in the gym, and would highly recommend Timo's skill for making the body feel better whether you are a gym-goer or not.
Loetitia Stone
I’ve been using Timo for years. I’ve had a lot of sports physio over the years, and quite simply he’s the best. Importantly he listens to what you say, adjusts his treatment, and he’s got a good line in chat!
Peter Allan
Timo provides excellent sports massage, which has reduced risk of injury, speeded up recovery, and helped me through the training for several marathons. Professional and Friendly. Highly recommended!
Jonathan Smith
A friend recommend I see Timo for back pain and he did miracles.
That was 9yrs ago and now I try and go every 2weeks. Safe to say I strongly recommend him for treatment or prevention! Would have put 6 stars if possible !!!
Perrine Canet
I have seen Timo for 5+ years and he is excellent. Very knowledgable, honest and very professional. Highly recommend him. Have used him in preparation for marathons and ultra running events.
Julian Villar
I’ve been Timo’s patient for more than 10 years. As an author I work far too much in a sitting position, which causes back pain and muscle tension in my arms. Timo is always able to help me. Recently he also freed me of tinnitus by massaging my jaw muscles inside my mouth. I wouldn’t have thought that’s possible, but it really helped!
Thomas Brezina
Timo is the best there is for the treatment and prevention of injuries. He understands all aspects of his work and is able to work with me to keep myself fit for competition sport at all times. He is highly professional and knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone. He has provided me with an impeccable service for many years and, I hope, for many years to come.
Richard Phillips
Honestly such a good experience! Timo knew exactly what needed to be done, he was super professional and I felt so much better after the massage treatment, so thank you! I’ll be back!
Marina Antoinette
I count Timo as a trusted and truly talented massage therapist. His many decades of experience allows for a thorough massage therapy and one where the mind can follow, with meaningful catharsis and a genuine letting go of psychological stress.
Timo is a thoroughly decent guy passionate about his life’s vocation and will reinvigorate your mind and body.
Harley Hessel
The best Deep Tissue Massage I have ever had!
Claudio Mio
Wow. Having been recommended Timo, I was not disappointed. He worked over the whole body and released every muscle knot and restriction from head to toe.
There was the occasional pain during the session with the tightest muscles, but afterwards I feel completely loosened and renewed!
He is very professional, puts you at ease straight away and clearly knows the body like the back of his hand.
When you come across an incredible therapist, you have all the time in the world for them. Thank you Timo!
Tony Skinner Osteopath
Timo is a phenomenal massage therapy specialist, I highly recommend him.
Stuart Reeve
Timo I can't thank you enough for your wonderful treatments and helping me to get my mobility back!! Every dancer and non dancer should experience and treat their bodies to one of your amazing treatments!!! As always I look forward to my next treatment with you!

Timo helped me to recover from hamstring injury in few weeks. Before that I was struggling with injury for half a year. Highly recommend him!!!
Andrey Emelyanenko
Timo is great at what he does. Have been having weekly massages from him for years!!
Lil’j Tarquinio-Singh
Choreographer / Dance Teacher
I have been seeing Timo for massages on my lower body for about the last year. I do a fair bit of running and my legs need constant stretching and manipulating. For some time I had been experiencing bad knee pains to the point that I would have to stop during a race and would be unable to continue. I started seeing Timo and within a very short time my knee flexibility and strength was hugely improved. I continue to see Timo once a week and I can't thank him enough - for his wonderful healing hands and for his sense of humour. Thank you Timo!!!
Louise Tasker
Timo is, quite simply, the best masseur ever. Not only does he sort my body out every time, he has also enabled me to understand my body as I never did before.
Maria Yacoob

Timo gives a great massage. It will work for days afterwards..Truth!
Aina Wethal

Sarah May-Stubbins

All I can say is brilliant! I've been going to Timo for more than 7 years on and off when my back seizes up and he always fixes things up.
Nathan Winters
Timo is not just a masseur, he's miracle worker! He has helped keep my running legs in working order for 13 years and counting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to fellow athletes or anyone looking for a professional massage. I've raced distances from the Mile up to the Marathon and there have been countless times Timo has helped me sort out a niggle in an emergency, or just get rid of general tightness to ensure I'm ready for the start line!
Jamie Bannister
Runner
Timo has helped me to get through a number of sport related injuries which has allowed me to continue my training regime without interruption. Thanks to Timo’s massages and stretching, I have been able to continue competing in Triathlons.
Cornelius Barry
I use deep tissue sports massage to relieve postural tension created as a result of long hours sitting in front of a pc at work. Regular massage with Timo has helped to keep my postural imbalances in check along with helping to alleviate pain due to pre existing sciatica problems. I recommend Timo’s treatment for beating the day to day stresses of life, not just for those suffering from sporting injuries.
Ben Leary
A very good firm deep tissue massage. Not only relaxing, but useful corrective techniques were applied to ease long-standing tensions, which have really made a difference!
Jessica Watkins
“I find sports massage a great way to relieve the build up of muscle tension from physical exercise as well as from every day postural imbalances. Timo’s hands-on stretching techniques have really helped me, and since working with him over the past year I have definitely noticed an improvement in my movement.
Jeff Tasker
For the best massage and voice massage therapy in Central London, Timo is the choice.
