kfabme is a very professional masseur and it was a pleasure to meet him. As previously understood, I was to commit to two or three sessions with him to diagnose and treat any conditions. I was asked to complete the necessary paperwork first. He then asked me to perform a number of movement tests initially and from that determined areas to work on. He discovered that most of the tension was in my legs, something which I had never really considered before. He was very adept at finding tension points and working them through always explaining what he was doing and the muscles he was massaging. Following the massage session he demonstrated a number of stretches that would be beneficial to my posture and keeping my leg muscles supple. He then emailed examples of the stretches to me within a few days.
Following the sessions I have found my range of movement and legs feeling stronger. I have also become more aware of my posture when at work and adopting good posture. I would like to thank kfabme for drawing my attention to good posture, which has helped me achieve a greater feeling of wellbeing. |

| Meeting kfabme was a long time coming. He was very welcoming , made me a hot beverage . Had a few forms to fill in but he explained all the exercises and made me feel at ease. kfabme gave a thorough therapeutic sports massage ! He has a very broad knowledge base and carefully explained the correlation between the stretch exercises and the actual sports massage I was given. kfabme took his time, the whole evening was very relaxing and I was warmed up throughout. kfabme massaged all the relevant muscles he needed to knead. He's very professional and combined very long strokes and lovely sports gel to make the experience very worthwhile. Kevin is very passionate and ambitious and very confident . I'm really looking forward to sessions 2 and 3 and would highly recommend one of his therapeutic sports massages. Thank you Kevin for a lovely evening last weekend . | |

| kfabme hosted our recent meeting and commenced the session with a thorough inspection of body mobility as well as questions, that I found refreshing in that it combined principles and practice in a most accomplished way. Seeing how the body moves before starting to work on the therapy session is a sensible approach to massage not often practised. His technique was both a delight and competent to a most impressive extent for a bodywork student, in that the natural flair of a dancer was coupled with the manipulations of an accomplished practitioner to deliver a most impressive massage session. The secret of what will hopefully be a successful career for kfabme is the enthusiastic engagement and natural energy that is well channeled into the techniques he has already learned and will continue to absorb in the future. His assistance in improving my delivery of basic techniques was also both appreciated and helpful and I look forward to our next meeting soon. | |

Although relatively new to massage and only part-way through his second, Sports Massage, course this man has a good theoretical and practical knowledge of his new enthusiasm.
This swapping session was one of the most 'TECHNICAL' and practical that I have ever had, and the physical application of the knowledge he has already acquired was really impressive. His questions too were well formulated and demonstrated his accurate appreciation of what he had been taught so far and what he knows still remains to be discovered. On a practical level his assessments were thorough and accurate, his massage techniques were well chosen, effectively applied, and not too uncomfortable. However, as is inevitable in the course of learning, the overall impression was not particularly free-flowing; that will come with time and experience. The swap was easy to arrange, he is close to a rail station and parking seemed to be readily available. I am looking forward to continuing to support his case-study work. I rate this man as Highly Recommended as a bodywork student even although he will get even better with more coursework and practice. The most important factor in this assessment, apart from the comments above, is that he clearly has a love of the craft and a determination to find and treat all the areas where there is impaired functionality . |

| I have now met kfabme twice, as a volunteer for him to use me as a case-study for his course. He was very welcoming and gave me a confident and effective massage. He asked appropriate questions and modified the work he was doing as appropriate to the conditions he found. He was also appreciative of the short treatments I gave him too. If you can arrange a session with him you will benefit from his competent treatment. | |

Sports Massage from kfabme on three occasions.
His entire conduct was warm, friendly, confident and professional. (Don't trouble him with non-therapeutic advances). Initially there was a consultation in which he asked about health, medical history, injuries, previous treatments, contraindications etc before performing some range-of-movement tests and checks. Then came some recommended treatment and agreement of a course of action before the treatment began. kfabme works with precision and dedication, putting in great energy and effort, targeting problem muscle areas. The sports massage, like all sports massage, did indeed hurt at the time. He encouraged me to breathe deep and made sure i was comfortable with pressure, room temperature, drinking water, choice of massage oil/lotion/gel etc. He named many more individual muscles than I knew of, and was able to work each one skilfully. Happily he was also willing to share his knowledge. The benefits have been a remarkable improvement. I slept much better. My body felt lighter and more limber; I felt more relaxed; tough muscle 'lumps' has eased, my movement was more fluid. Curiously, my walking step length seems to have lengthened. As part of the treatment plan kfabme prescribed a tailored routine of stretching and exercises to strengthen & loosen a problem area. Apart from Sports Massage, he's also qualified in other modalities too! Well recommended. Consider yourself very lucky indeed if you get the opportunity |

| I had the pleasure of treating HumbleMassage to a few sessions of sports massage, he is very well mannered, polite and arrived on time for every session, HumbleMassage never canceled or arrived late which was a blessing as I have a busy diary, he worked his scheduled around mines and travel quiet far to attend but still managed to turn up on time.
HumbleMassage was a great case study as he was able to prove that he practiced his aftercare advice and stretches, he regularly fed back of any changes that he may have experienced after the treatment, which supported my work on him, HumbleMassage was able to express changes he has experienced that allowed me to change my routine at times. During our exchange HumbleMassage demonstrated his massage skills,he has a genuine enthusiasm for massage which was great to see, his energy for massage was refreshing as he has made a routine for himself that works quiet well,he has mastered the art of a basic routine which was very effective, I feel it will be a good idea for him study massage as he already knows the names and purpose for the massage strokes, it was great teaching him some Holistal techniques he picked up posture and strokes quiet quickly. I had a great experience with Humble massage he is a therapists dream client and a students dream case study. |
