Robert is an incredible healer. His knowledge of how to help the body, mind and soul to work in harmony is far beyond what the mind alone can comprehend. Coupling this with his personal experience is a recipe for Miracles to unfold.

Today I had a massage with Robert Vicary from Alive Therapies which was out of this world!
I broke my left arm 3months ago and had been in constant pain, unable to sleep. Tonight I feel no pain and even had a nanna nap.
I feel a renewed sense of purpose and passion to live my life to the full. Thankyou so much Robert. You are an Angel.

Robert is a very skilled practitioner and I don't think I've ever received such a thorough and complete treatment before whereby all facets of the body are integrated so expertly.
I would say Robert isn't your typical or mainstream remedial massage therapist. But for anyone wanting to explore other aspects of their well-being, including spiritual health, Robert is absolutely your go-to practitioner. Thank you Robert for all of your skills and knowledge - it was enlightening ✨

I have had one session with Robert so far. I have Parkinson's Disease, moderately advanced, and the driver for me w as to review any aspects other than medications that might be incorporated into my efforts to minimise the symptoms of the condition.
I underwent a therapeutic remedial massage desi.gned to help establish a baseline for my condition , upon which an integrated medical approach to treatment might be anchored.
I look forward to working with Robert to test this approach..

A true body healer. It was a great experience to have a professional work on my body who could tell me why different areas were sore/tight and then to release these areas. I went from feeling like a person who had been shrink wrapped to an revitalised person after my sessions with Robert. He is a true healer of the body.

Quality of Life Changing Experience
I have been having massages for years - what Robert provides is so much more. He's removed blocks that have been there for years - and after a week they have not come back despite a stressful life
I love that he explains what he is doing and teaches you to do it for yourself so you can continue to make progress on your own

I've recently been massaged by Robert Vicary at this clinic. I found Robert to be very knowledgeable, very effective and enthusiastic about his craft. I was impressed at his skill level and the relatively few years he's taken to achieve it. Naturally I'd recommend anyone to him.

I have been visiting Robert for reflexology massage for many years now and he has done wonders for my Crohn's Disease/Anxiety. His massage warms up/calms my entire body and relaxes all of the tension and stress that can build up with my daily struggles. He is so passionate about what he does and has extensive knowledge on natural healing and spirituality. He is always teaching me positive ways of being and thinking and has helped me grow as a young woman. Robert is so amazing that everyone in my family is hooked!

I often visit Robert Vickary for therapeutic massage treatment and have never met another professional with more detailed knowledge of the parts of the anatomy that he deals with. Robert is very professional and I always depart feeling better after his treatment for which I am grateful. I highly recommend him.

Robert 's knowledge and technique has given excellent results - even after my first session I can feel a huge difference.
A heads-up to those who haven't had myofascial release done before: It is uncomfortable AND totally worth the discomfort for the results.

Incredible massage work and highly recommended! Book in with Robert today. His work is SO needed in the world right now. A day after my massage I felt renewed, refreshed, revived but a week later I feel 10 years younger! On an energetic level - I have remembered who I am, and why I am here. Thank you for your healing hands, energy, guidance, wisdom and knowledge. It is so gratefully received and I would like to acknowledge the huge difference you are making to so many people. Thank you Robert.

Some years ago, I took my now 17 year old sons to Robert for a massage. They were very unhappy and nervous about the whole business. They came away from the experience saying that they would like to go back for a cup of tea and a chat!
Since then, many rugby mishaps and duelling brother incidents later, Robert has worked wonders with both their bodies and their attitudes.
From my personal perspective, I go into Robert's clinic all misshapen and with ill-defined issues and come out feeling like I have been seen, heard and realigned.
I cannot recommend Robert highly enough.

Robert helped me when all of a sudden I had "wry neck" It was incredibly painful, I could hardly move my head. One visit and I was well on my way to recovery. He also helped with muscle issues related to a broken leg I had earlier in the year. I am so glad I found him. Feeling so much better! Thanks Robert!

I cannot more highly recommend Robert’s treatments. To say he is a massage therapist is massively understating what his treatments entail. It is a total body rejuvenation. He uses incredible intuition and technique to really unblock the painful areas in your body and get you moving physically and emotionally again. You will not regret seeing him!!

Turned up at Radiant Therapies :
a) wound up like a clock
b) expecting an easy relaxing massage
Well, I have to say, because of my poor condition, relaxing is not what I got. An hour of full participation in my therapy, as opposed to lying back expecting Robert to do all the work, made things fall into place. Yes, there were parts of me that needed a bit more coaxing to release tension than others but when complete, I felt like I had been given a kick-start into a new me!
Well done Rob, you are a master
