Dr Yen has managed to tackle a variety of long term issues, poorly managed by a variety of Doctors, after Cancer.The treatment is very intuitive at times and he ‘read’ some other issues purely from touch.I would highly recommend.

i highly recommend Yen for his professionalism and welcoming attitude. Tailoring each session according to my needs, he listens which is very important. I feel at ease with him and know i am in good hands. it really hurts but he loosens up my muscles and the hard areas that needs attention. When i first met Yen i arrived suffering with my chronic pain, low back pain, sciatica, pins and needles in my arm. When the medical professions could do no more and referred me for rehabilitation with high dose painkillers. My friend recommended Yen, i was apprehensive at first as i did not know what to expect. The chronic pain is feeling a lot easier, sciatica also. The more sessions i attend i can feel a difference, i am improving. I have a lot of faith in Yen . Thank you

When I first started seeing Yen, I was in quite a lot of pain just rocking backwards and forwards on my back. After two sessions, that was cured - and I also noticed that I could turn my neck with much more freedom. Although better, my deep-rooted back pain was still there but it has eased slightly with each session. Some sessions can be painful, but each week the clogged up areas become looser and looser - at which point, Yen can go deeper to get to the real root issue. Sometimes, the acupoints release a lot of emotion but mostly I feel lighter after each session and thankfully my back pain is now negligible and he is also getting to the bottom of an upper arm issue. I would recommend Yen’s massages regularly for anyone who wants to maintain a healthily functioning body!

Yen is my go to for assistance with any aches and pains. His treatments are magical - albeit at the time you might be yelping a bit. Until I met Yen I had never experienced something so relieving to my body. He thoroughly analysis you and notices things you might not have told him - there is no hiding any conditions from Yen! Currently he is treating my tennis elbow which is improving. In the passed it has been my back, my hands and my knee that have had most attention and all have made full recovery.

Yen Is the reason I can sleep, work, exercise and relax. I had a lot of pain with Sciatica, and other arthritic issues. I also have had deep rooted trauma memories and he has started to pull these out of me and thus healing is taking place.He really can heal you mentally and physically. Don’t hesitate to go and see him- it may be the first day of the rest of your life!

I had a horrible headache and stiff neck , the painkillers wasn’t doing much for me and my friend recommended Yen so I went and I have to say I was blown away how much tension my body was holding to and old traumas , just after 1 hour my body was released from the stiffness and my headache was immediately gone! Something incredible! Im so grateful thank you so much for everything

I came to see Yen after my cousin recommended him. I’d been carrying a pain in my arm that started in my neck, crept into my shoulder, and continued down my arm. This persisted even after trying several other methods, including yoga, a doctor who referred me to a physio, and a masseuse. In one session, Yen was able to instantly remove the pain and discomfort that I had been carrying for six months. I should have gone to see him earlier.

A friend recommended me to go to shiatsu when I was suffering hugely with sciatica. I had tried my GP and there was months to wait for the muscular skeletal clinic. I went to an osteopath but they required a full MRI at a private clinic before treatment - the pain was debilitating. I thought Yen was good from the start. Shiatsu to make blood flow makes sense. He found the sciatic nerves and the muscle that was injured. Over a series of appointments he treated the sciatica and cured it. To me it’s like a miracle. I also have MS and I go back to Yen when I can as shiatsu helps with the neuropathic pain and can actually move around the numbness in my right leg which is amazing. I am a bit of an evangelist for the benefits of shiatsu after finding Yen who actually cured me from this dreadful pain so I highly recommend him.

I had suffered for 3 weeks with leg pain, going to all sort of experts but with no solution. I couldn’t walk properly and I had to take time off work. I finally found Dr Yen after a search online. He essentially fixed my leg and I am so grateful.

I have been a patient of Dr. Yen for the past five weeks. I have been impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and reassuring manner. I have sciatica, and I couldn't walk without limping, but after the first session, I was able to move slightly better. As the treatment progresses each session, I'm able to get on with my daily activities with less and less pain. Also, the advice I get regarding my diet has made such a big difference in my health. I'm very grateful to Dr. Yen. I highly recommend him because he explains procedures and aftercare very well. Khaled

I visited Yen yesterday for the first time, I have had bad pains in my neck although I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis I have been told the pain in my neck is not due to the RA and was told it’s just wear and tear after having MRI scans ,I must admit the first session was a bit painful but I was expecting this anyway, yen explained while working on my accupoints how tight my muscles were which is causing bad blood circulation after awhile I could feel the difference as the treatment was causing the blood to flow also he worked on my breathing and told me how to breath deeper,I have booked another session as I feel this treatment is working already and yen explained that the sessions become less intense as time goes on.So thank you yen and looking forward to the next session.Tom.

Incredibly pleased with Yen’s treatment of my musculoskeletal problems. His shiatsu approach is very targeted but he clearly identifies the holistic nature of each issue and provides great advice to prevent them coming back again. Have been symptom free for a while now, highly recommend!

I have received two treatments from Yen, just over a year apart. I didn't have any acute ailments but wanted to try shiatsu to support overall physical, emotional and mental balance. I came away both times, feeling inspired and motivated to work on my wellbeing, because of Yen's accurate insights into my state of health and helpful guidance. I also felt a sense of general release after the treatments. Yen is warm, reassuringly confident, knowledgeable and perceptive. One thing to note is that I found the treatment at times to be painful, due to Yen highlighting some particularly tense spots in my body, but this was definitely a positive thing.

I have been getting TCM treatments by Dr Yen Yee for almost a year for my chronic lower back, hips and neck pains. His hands are magical as they release so much stress from my body which helps me feel unstuck. He’s helped me avoid getting back surgery and he is so knowledgeable with a great holistic approach to treating his patients. I’ve recommended him to many friends and family members. Try him and you will feel so much lighter and better from your first session.

I had my first session with Yen the other day. After one session I noticed great improvements in sleep, physically and mentally. He is an expert in the field and treats his clients with respect and dignity.

Yen treats his patients holistically using TCM and Shiatsu practices. His genuine approach to the patients problem is fundamental in his healings. Healing is his true passion. Yen treated my shoulder with Shiatsu massage and TCM, not using any drugs. After a couple of treatments from Yen not only the shoulder but my overall well-being improved. Being pain-free, I had more energy throughout the day and more willpower to work on my goals again. Thank you Dr. Yen.

Yen’s shiatsu treatment has helped with my back pain and stiffness overall. I have gained confidence to walk further each day and have begun swimming again. Also slightly changed my diet. Yen gets straight to the point of the ailment and also the treatment in both knowledge and treatment of pressure points. Very pleased with the outcome and thoroughly recommend.

Yen managed to rid me of very bad migraines that I’ve been suffering with for at least 10 years. 5 weeks in not even a slight one in sight. Migraines aside Yen takes a general approach looking after all the problem points- I feel brand new after each session. He’s also a great person to be around.

I would definitely recommend Yen. He help me immensely with my very bad shoulder/neck pain within a few sessions. I couldn’t move, couldn’t work was off work, I was in so much pain. Now I still go once a week to get help with ache, stiffness and some pains .So yes 👍🏻 great.

In June 2022 I sought Yen Chong’s professional help with my right knee which had been causing me pain together with an upper-back problem resulting from thoracic surgery two years earlier and which seemed to create an altered gait. After a profound analysis, Yen was able to apply his expert strategies to correct this unhappy situation. After implementing his traditional Chinese medicine and Shiatsu hands-on treatment, I actually started to walk normally a few weeks later.Yen is indefatigable in his efforts to deliver great treatment. Thorough in guiding one through the developmental journey. Razor-sharp in his assessment of a physical / mental problem and how to deal with it. Thanks Yen!

Mr Chong is really a rare find.His Shiatsu technique is very unique, practical and produces quick and noticeable results.He also takes the time to help your core issues in life, that could be causing the physical issues.The approach is multidimensional and isn't anything like the western approach. (Fyi, it is not for relaxation, but for healing).It is definitely worth a visit.

Olga Sat

1654715735

I have been to see Yen with several health issues I had and I cant praise enough his service. He has recommended to do at least 4 sessions to be able to see the results but I must say I have noticed the positive change after the first session already which has been improving with every visit. Yen is very professional and attentive and I felt I could trust him fully and I was not disappointed. Cannot recommend enough and I will be definitely using his help again very soon.

Sandra Rubiano

I have been in treatment with Dr. Yen for 6 months for previous injuries in my back, sciatica and frozen shoulder, sometimes the pain is so strong that it doesn't allow me to walk or do my normal activities. Although I am not constant in my treatments due to my work or travel, I have felt a great improvement with each session. I thank Dr. Yen for helping me relieve pain whenever I need it, thus avoiding the consumption of painkillers that caused harmful effects on my body.

Lavindr Yan

Before meeting Sifu Yen, I hadn't a clue what 'Alternative Medicine' or more specifically, Chinese Alternative Therapy Massage (TCM) - was about. Having been exposed to Western medicine from the cradle, I naturally resorted to pharmaceutical products and medically qualified professionals throughout my life. However, all this changed when Sifu saw my swollen leg after nearly a month being in a post-operative hospital ward. My entire left leg - from the hip down to my toes - were the size of my thigh. He immediately went to work on my leg. He opened-up the lymphatic channels and restored proper blood circulation. This happened, literally, overnight - my left leg returned to its recognisable normal state. Since then, I'm a big fan of TCM Shiatsu.CAVEAT: You have to be prudent with pain; as TCM therapy is not pleasant - but, its effect is profound and healing.

As an authentic TCM and Shiatsu practitioner, Yen brings new meaning to the practice of alternative medicine. Having referred him to a friend who had eczema, his treatments have proved transformational. Highly recommended!- Dr. Haru Yamada, Chelsea

I was totally new to Shiatsu massage and thought I was having my neck seen to but Yen treated my whole body and mind. Of course physically it was painful too - no pain, no gain - but he helped me to deal with my mental and emotional health as well. And I am most grateful for this.

Had excruciating back pain / sciatica. Pain killers didn't do the job anymore, I woke up in the middle of the night. My wife found Yen in Nextdoor and I gave it a try. He is practicing traditional Chinese methods, using his hands. Nothing you pop into your mouth, nothing invasive. It was painful, especially the first time, but after a couple of sessions I felt MUCH better. Can warmly recommend Yen.
