Testimonial
Both my husband and I have been visiting Marion regularly for over 6 years. We both have chronic back conditions and have visited chiropractors, osteopaths, physios and other masseurs in the past, but we both find Marion's treatments the most helpful in keeping us in good condition. Marion is extremely competent technically, and uses her knowledge to diagnose and get to the underlying causes of aches and pains, giving hands on treatment as well as advice on self management to enable us to manage our conditions positively, so that we no longer need other interventions.

Fiona, Rendlesham
"Amazing!!!!
Just went for my first run since giving up 18 months ago...ran for 20 mins on the road no problem, not even pink. My calves did not go tight and so my feet did not swell. My fingers did swell and go hard but not my hands (harsh white line at finger joint above which congestion was intense)
So how marvellous is that? no compression used.
entiere aerobic system improved by lower limbs actually not restricting flow of fluids!!
well done you. need more on my hands next time"
“Working in a busy office where a majority of the job is sitting in front of the computer, I have found having regular back massages with Marion has kept my back supple and free from the daily aches and pains, as well as providing a well-earned relaxation for body and mind. With Marion’s techniques which she has shown me I can take away her wisdom to use when I am at home. I would strongly recommend Marion to my family and friends”.

" Marion is empathetic and works with a quite authority based on shrewd observation of a clients condition.
She is generous of spirit yet encourages self help and as a strong and sensitive manipulator of muscles and tissues uses precise language to explain what she is doing. A sound clinical training and caring nature enables her to deal with challenging human conditions for which she does considerable research.
We have both benefitted from her treatment and wise advise given with humor and professionalism. "

"I visited Marion for help after suffering post operative problems following a knee-replacement.
"I have been seeing Marion for a few years now. Originally it was for a neck problem but now I go every few weeks for maintenance. I have lost count of the many little problems she has helped with not to mention the work she did when I broke both my wrists in a riding accident. After Marrions treatment they are as good as new."
"Gentle hands, peaceful surroundings and the subsequent easing of pain.
"My sciatica was dealt with thoroughly by Marion who seemed to know exactly where to massage without me even having to tell her. She really got to the root of the problem and gave me tips on how to manage it and how to prevent its recurrence. I can highly recommend her. "
Amanda Davidson
"I have been having massages with Marion for many years now and each time she is able to go to the exact spot or areas where work is needed. Marion has extensive training, natural talent, ability and intuition which enables her to tune in to whoever she is working with. The work I do is very physical and I also play tennis, run and walk regularly so massages are an important regular need for keeping my body supple and in shape.
"I have known Marion for some years. She is very knowledgeable, competent and skillful in her therapy. I have found great relief from the deep tissue massage received from her. Just as one example - I had been waking up with headaches and very painful muscles in my shoulder for some weeks. I decided to visit Marion, and although the treatment was quite uncomfortable, it was very thorough. Definitely a case of "no pain, no gain"! I now don't have headaches, and the muscular pain has resolved. I can thoroughly recommend Marion. "

‘Marion has a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the muscular system and associated problems that can arise through sports injury. Marion has treated me for two different ligament and muscular problems with a positive outcome on both occasions’.
Dylan Cross
"I was recommended by a physiotherapist at the hospital, to visit Marion for massage treatments and it is the best course of action I could have taken. I find Marion calm, caring, sensitive and thorough at getting to the root of a problem and dealing with it. She has good hands and at the end of a session you leave feeling considerably better than when you arrived. She is efficient and totally professional in the way she works and I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to book a treatment with her."

" I have had long-term back and neck problems and general aches and pains which had got worse as I grew older (now 66). I had treatment from a McTimoney Chiropractor but this needed to be complemented by massage.
I had known Marion through her Nordic Walking classes and her highly qualified skills, and asked her to carry out a series of sports injury massages. Over the period of treatment, my aches and pains eased dramatically so that that I have been able to resume a normal, but very active life.
There is no doubt that the combination of massage and Pilates classes, supplemented by Nordic Walking for fitness, all provided through Marion’s Decoy Farm Clinic, have been hugely beneficial to me and I can see my continuing with this regime on a regular basis into the future to keep supple and aligned and therefore active. I can certainly recommend the services available at the Clinic.

"I am so pleased that I was recommended to Marion, as she really works with you, and shows you how you can help yourself at home with various exercises that can help strengthen muscles. I always look forward to a session with Marion, always leaving feeling much better physically and mentally."

"Marion has both thorough anatomical knowledge and intuitive touch. She reads the body with skill and sensitivity resulting, for me, in the immediate relief of sore tense muscles. With Marion i always know I'm in great hands. Literally. Thankyou!"
Audrey Boyle, journalist and Pilates teacher
"Whenever anyone I know complains of any aches and pains my first response is always – you must go and see Marion! Marion is extremely caring and friendly and I soon relaxed in my first appointment despite feeling nervous. I have experienced a huge improvement in my sciatica, so much so, that my visits to Marion are now a rarity. Marion is highly skilled and knowledgeable. She explains what she is doing in detail with the help of diagrams and models so that you can fully understand what the problem is and what can be done to help. Marion also suggests practical exercises that fit in with busy schedules to help you avoid further problems in the future. I can genuinely say that I cannot recommend her highly enough."
Camilla Lucy, Ipswich
"I came to see Marion after a long series of NHS and private practitioners, and was absolutely delighted at the level of expertise and 'all around' holistic knowledgeable care. It was a very evident feeling of increased recovery and wellness that I experienced immediately, which was a great deal more noticeable than any previous muscular care I had received My condition is better than expected because of the highly effective treatment which I received from Marion, going hand in hand with the in-depth and helpful exercises and maintenance she guided me through. I have been seeing Marion over a period of approximately 3 years and find the ongoing maintenance to my condition to be lasting and effective, my partner also visited Marion several years ago for a long term muscular condition which was improved so greatly after one session paired with suggested tailored muscular exercises that no further treatment has been needed. I have and will continue to recommend Marion to friends and colleagues with absolute and complete confidence."

Victoria Hayden - Pilates Teacher
You are one of the best body workers I have come across and I have tried many!! Very natural approach and you certainly know where the dysfunctions and how to treat them. It feels like you treat the body in 3D and the explanations make perfect sense. Truly magical. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

"Marion- thank you SO much for working on my back - you have worked wonders...."
Many thanks, P. A. Woodbridge 2012
"For a number of years I have competed in multi sport events; triathlon and duathlon at both national and international level as an age grouper. Injury prevention and rehabilitation are a crucial part of my training to enable me to compete at the highest level.
I was introduced to Marion Cobbold around 7 years ago. Since this time Marion has treated me for minor injuries and niggles that I get through training and has been instrumental in keeping me healthy and able to train at the highest level. Last winter I had an Achilles injury and doubted I would be ready to compete in the European duathlon championships. With Marion treating me I was able to get back into training at the required level and as a result I achieved a silver medal at the Europeans; something I could not have done without Marion’s “healing hands! She is always professional, explaining what the injury is and how she is treating it, friendly and treats me at short notice; I don’t know what I would do without her!
" Tonya Antonis, Ipswich
" Hi Marion, I am pleased to report that i have never felt better!!! My back and knees are a lot less painful and I have got considerably more movement in my back and knees. I feel like a new woman :-). I could use you at home on a daily basis!!!" Thank you. H.O. Brantham

"Thank you for the massage you gave me on Friday. My neck and head or should I say my splenius capitis was a little tender yesterday, but I am feeling so much better today. I am pleased to say it also feels a lot less tense and that today is the first day for a long time that I haven’t had a headache!" DP, Ipswich Hospital

"Whilst playing head tennis, I was dashing to get the ball. I stopped in bewilderment finding that I was actually running with ease which I haven't been for years. The doctors have written me off. Thank you so very much, you are a genius, just magical." - PH, Ipswich
" I must write to say how wonderful it was to receive your help with massage to relieve my back pain. As you know I was in qutie some discomfort and, following your massage, I was feeling so much better with the pain greatly reduced and able to hold my Yoga classes in the evening. As well as your professional knowledge and skills, it was so lovely to be in the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of yoru treatment area. Thank you again. " -AP, Melton
"As a competitive club cyclist in road racing and time trials for some 30 years, fitness, training and nutrition has always been a major focus of my life. These factors coupled with good coaching are essential for personal improvement at whatever level you are at. However one vital factor often ignored is that of recovery and repair. I was very lucky to discover Marion Cobbold some seven years ago when I was desperate for treatment to my lower back. Since that first treatment session I have regularly visited Marion for sports massage and therapy. The treatment has included some extensive work on a damaged shoulder as a result of crashing in a race and the ongoing repair and recovery of tired legs and tight and aching muscles – especially those IT bands! Since I retired from competitive cycling Marion has continued to heal and keep my slowly aging body in good condition for my newfound obsession – golf. Not only does Marion keep me supple and pain free – following my recommendation she treats fellow golfing competitors from my club as well! I would not hesitate in recommending Marion Cobbold, as she has not only proved to be exceptional in her sports massage, injury prevention and rehabilitation but also a genuine, friendly and kind professional."
You are an absolute genius! Thank you so much for seeing me on Saturday, I've been much, much better!
