Welcome to Muscle Matters

Good Morning Barend. First time in months I have had relief from pain. I can’t say Thank you enough.

Thank you too so much for all the great work outs and support ! You’re the best PT 

The massage definitely helped. Finally ran without any weird pain.

What a wild ride! It’s definitely the most challenging thing I’ve ever done, but also incredibly rewarding. Thought of you daily with big gratitude for the strength you helped me achieve (especially upper body, surprisingly). 

Barend is friendly and professional and I feel comfortable knowing he is qualified and knows what he is doing. He has sure hands for a relaxing or sports massage and I feel confident recommending him to my guests at Mariner Guesthouse. I always come home feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after one of Barend's massages!

I have gone from stiff or immovable joints to almost all free.
Marvellous!

I have used Barends sports massage services. He always ensures that you are comfortable and checks that you are not in too much pain and discomfort during the massage. I am along distance runner with knotty legs and glutes. He always tries to be as gentle as possible when tackling them. He is always professional. I would highly recommend his services.

Barend worked with me to find the best exercise solution for my health and wellness needs. My personalised training program was consistent with my ability to increase my strength and stamina over time. He worked with my muscle fatigue and recovery with his professional sports Massages.
If you are looking for a Super-dedicated Personal Trainer… it’s Barend!

Barend is amazing, utterly professional and really gets in to deep muscle release in his massages... Can highly recommend him

Barend helped me get into shape for the toughest hike in South Africa! I saw results from his training week-to-week, and I definitely learnt a lot about how to train my body. When we wrapped up training, I was able to walk 106km over 6 days with 16kg on my back at 1000m daily elevation. Not only was the training effective and fun, but I also really enjoyed spending time with Barend. He is a very kind and supportive trainer with a positive energy that helps motivate!

Barend helped my wife and I train for South Africa's toughest hike, the daunting 106km Amatola Trail and because of his help we ended up having the best time on the trail and off, training for it.

When I first joined the gym as a beginner, Barend made me feel welcome and supported. He listened to my goals and created workouts that were effective, doable, and still challenging. His knowledge is really impressive, and his guidance, patience, and positive energy helped me gain confidence and actually enjoy working out. Highly recommend him!

Barend is a wonderful massage therapist! Very skilled, easy to talk to and I always feel much better afterwards!
Highly recommended. :-)

Barend is professional and very talented with his sports massages. I have several injuries and often suffer with a very stiff neck and shoulders.
I’ve been to him on several occasions and always leave feeling like he has got to the problem. I would highly recommend him.

Barend worked with me to find exercises that avoided making my injury worse, while helping me get strong! I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to his comprehensive workouts and support.

Great massage and professional service Highly recommended!

Barend is an absolute professional. Not only in the brilliant work he does but also in the calm and caring way he makes one relax to experience his treatment to it fullest.

Barend is amazing. as a professional stage performer i am constantly full of niggles and injuries. Barend is a master at locating issues and working them. He is strong and works hard when needed, but also combines brilliant Effleurage massage (Google it, haha) Highly recommend. Muscle Matters is my go to!
