I started to see Carlos for pregnancy massage because I had severe middle back, lower back and hip pain. Carlos not only listened to me describing where the pain was but also had a sixth sense of where it was and, more importantly, an understanding of what was causing it. I found that he not only focused on the areas of immediate discomfort but also worked on connected areas of my body so as to deal not just with the symptoms but also the root cause. He is a very calming influence, not least because he clearly knows what he is doing (very important for pregnancy massage). He instinctively knows when to work muscles very deeply and when to take a gentler approach. And he takes a holistic approach to the body - focusing on areas that need most attention but not ignoring others. I have never been a big fan of massage but Carlos has well and truly converted me and played a huge part in easing the discomfort and stress on the body that is inherent in any pregnancy.
