I’ve worked with a few other manual therapists, so I have something to compare it to, and what Shav does is on another level. He doesn’t just treat where the pain is; he looks at the body as a whole and thinks differently about what’s actually causing the problem.
You might walk in with neck pain expecting work on your neck, and instead, he could be working inside your mouth to release tension you never knew was connected. It can be intense and unconventional, but that’s what makes his approach so effective.
What stands out most is his passion. He genuinely cares, analyzes every situation, and approaches each session with intention. If you’re open-minded and ready to go beyond simply masking the pain, I’d highly recommend Shav.

As an athlete, I’m very particular about who I trust with my body, and Shav was exceptional. The treatment was precise, targeted and made an immediate difference. Not just symptom relief, but proper understanding of the root cause. Knowledgeable, professional and genuinely invested in getting you back to your best. Highly recommend.

In the middle of my full Ironman build, I booked a session with Shav to address accumulated tightness from long rides and runs.
The combination of tissue work and structured recovery techniques improved range of motion, reduced restriction, and enhanced overall movement efficiency. The difference in the following sessions was clear — better mechanics, smoother stride, and stronger performance output.
Highly recommended for athletes managing high training volume.

I have been coming to see Shav for over a year now, I see him once a week. A lot of people go to see someone when they get injured but I have been seeing Shav for injury prevention and in all honesty he has been nothing short of amazing, every time I have had a niggle, he has managed the problem and sorted it out ensuring I can go on to perform incredibly well in competitions and big feats

I’ve been working with Shav consistently for the past nine months, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional sports rehab professional. He is extremely professional, direct, and highly knowledgeable in his approach. What really sets Shav apart is his ability to take the time to properly assess and identify the root cause of issues rather than just treating symptoms.
His structured approach, honest feedback, and clear explanations have helped me better understand my body and train more effectively. Since starting with Shav, I’ve seen significant improvements in my athletic performance and, just as importantly, in my confidence going into training and competition.
I highly recommend Shav to any athlete looking for a thorough, results driven, and professional approach to rehab and performance.

If I had to go back and start my low back rehab from zero I would definitely choose working with Shav! Im an elite gymnast, competing at the highest stages of this sport. Few weeks before the World Cup Ive injured my lower back. Preparing for the competition has got worsen the pain to levels where I wasnt even able to walk, sit or lay down to sleep properly. From the vey first day of working with Shav Ive started to notice a significant improvement. He precisely chose the exercises for the rehab and even adjusted the program accordingly to my training stages week after week.
Honestly he worked magic there, to lift me up from walking with severe pain and discomfort to performing the most explosive skills, all the jumps and landings successfully.
I ended up with a bronze medal in the World Cup.I highly recommend to anyone having pain or discomfort in any part of your body because Shav not only helped me but also few of my trainees.

I have been working with Shav for the past three years, and his support has been exceptional. He brings a rare level of clinical knowledge and precision to training and rehabilitation.
He guided me through two major post-injury phases following the effects of injuries I sustained while returning to gymnastics in my mid-forties (45–47). As a lifelong trainer myself, I am extremely selective about who I trust with my body, and Shav is one of the very few professionals I fully trust to train me.
His approach is intelligent, individualized, and focused on long-term function and safe strength rebuilding. His professionalism, expertise, and deep understanding of movement truly set him apart.

I first went to Shav in 2021 with an unresolved neck injury. He was the first therapist who looked beyond the presenting issue and treated my whole body, helping to strengthen, mobilise, and reduce pain from the very first session.
He is an absolute wizard at what he does… I genuinely wouldn’t be able to stay fit, healthy, and continue running my business without his ongoing support.
