Crystal Palace Acupuncture

I recently visited Toby Warrener's Shiatsu Massage in Crystal Palace and was thoroughly impressed with the service I received. The therapist was knowledgeable and skilled in shiatsu techniques, effectively addressing my problem areas and relieving my tension. Additionally, he was a good listener and took the time to understand my needs and concerns. The atmosphere was warm and calming, adding to the overall relaxation of the experience. I would highly recommend this massage service to anyone looking for a professional and rejuvenating experience.... (Show more)

I've been seeing Toby for six months now, and we have been working on helping me deal with the grief following the death of my wife - the physical side, the blocked energy, not just through direct massage but more holistically too. I was looking for something to work with my Tai Chi practice, and Shiatsu has proven to be an aid in my practice, my emotional health and more generally. Toby is a warm, kind hearted practitioner, whose own energy shines through.... (Show more)

Before visiting Toby, I had never had shiatsu and wasn't sure what to expect but, as soon as we met I felt very comfortable. I had a series of sessions with Toby and found them extremely beneficial - I saw an immediate improvement in symptoms even after just one! He explains what he is doing and why which leaves me feeling at ease under his care. Toby actively listens and is a professional practitioner who gives 360 advice to help with symptom management at home. I feel confident in his ability to help with a whole host of symptoms and conditions.... (Show more)

I see Toby for shiatsu most weeks, having had some lower back trouble some years ago, which necessitated several weeks of visits to an osteopath. I'm not a fitness fan, and I spend far too long at my desk or on the sofa. I regard Toby's wonderful treatments as an investment in my long term health. It is all too easy to take these things for granted!... (Show more)

I was fortunate to find Toby about a year ago when I had a course of treatments to aid my long-term recovery from covid-19. The treatments made a huge difference to my health, and I felt really listened to and understood by Toby. Despite feeling much better, I still have monthly treatments with Toby to help maintain my improved health. After a treatment, I always feel a positive difference - improved energy, sleep quality, posture, and reduced back pain and stress. Recently I ran a 12-week, fully funded support programme for people with long Covid. Knowing how beneficial Toby's treatments are, I asked him to provide Shiatsu treatments on the programme, co-facilitate the support group and run a moxa workshop. All feedback has been highly positive. I recommend getting a treatment with Toby, whether for a health concern or maintaining good health.... (Show more)

I was recovering from Covid and felt my body sore, and I had challenges with the deep breathing. I had a Shiatsu session with Toby. He helped me to come back to myself. He is a professional with extensive knowledge of Oriental medicine and impressive Ki awareness. I highly recommend his Shiatsu.

I started having a series of treatments with Toby after having months of peri-menopausal symptoms of night sweats and consequently not sleeping well. After the first block of 6 sessions, instead of waking up 3 or 4 times a night I was now waking up only 1 times a night and with no sweating. I have continued regularly to see Toby where now I'm not always thinking about the menopause as I'm sleeping all the way through, my energy is so much more than I can remember and feel like me again. Also I came to realise how stressed I'd become over the years and without realising that, so with the shiatsu and 'The Toby Tips' he has given me in breathing exercises and nutritional advise I feel I can take on more things and not get so stressed up with life!...
