Testimonials

Carly Hodges

"Since having my children, I have suffered with sporadic lower back pain that transferred to my left knee and foot. Doctors put my lower back down to a side effect of a spinal block or to sciatica. The pain from both these injuries was at times unbearable, at times leaving me unable to walk long distances or even drive. I met Mike at my local gym and within one session, he had identified the cause of both the neck, shoulder and the lower back pain and my treatment started. Since that first appointment, I have been pain free, able to train more intensively and completed my first ultra-marathon: something that would have been unimaginable before. More than this, Mike is probably one of the nicest people you'll meet. He listens to your niggles and has a wealth of experience that can quickly and professionally correct your issues. His knowledge of sport and the body means he understands the pressure the body is put under and each treatment is therefore bespoke. I continue to use Mike's services so I can remain in tip-top condition and I highly recommend him to everyone".

“I have been suffering with chronic, mechanical neck pain for almost 15 years now. As a result I have received constant medical attention from my chiropractor on and off during that time. Due to the extent of my injury I was referred to Mike for exercise rehab as a form of alternative therapy and a last resort, as the chiropractic treatment was helping but not eradicating the condition. Mike has implemented a programme of recovery which has improved my mobility, flexibility and strength and I have to admit my neck has never felt so loose since my injury. It is privilege training with Mike because his knowledge and application of exercise is second to none. His attention to detail is fantastic and I have never felt more comfortable with the treatment he prescribes. In terms of getting back on the road to recovery, seeing Mike for rehabilitation has been the best decision I have ever made.”

"I would highly recommend Mike for sports massage treatment. He is professional, friendly and patient-focused, providing individualised care. As someone who enjoys training at the gym, boot camps and running I have found that Mike has been instrumental in keeping me injury free, pinpointing and easing aches and pains as soon as they have arisen and enabling me to maintain good flexibility. His treatments have made a real difference to my sport recovery times and my overall wellbeing. He has eased tightness in my hamstrings, glutes, shoulders and calf muscles. I would definitely recommend seeing Mike as part of your fitness routine".

“I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis and at the age of 38 I was walking like an old woman. Mike has helped strengthen my core muscles and improved my outlook on life. Mike is always very happy and offers a lot of encouragement during the rehab sessions. When I want to give up he encourages me and by the end of the session I feel completely invigorated. I am now able to walk upright for much longer distances without the use of my wheelchair. Everyone has noticed the difference in me and it is definitely beneficial to my health and happiness, so I say having exercise rehab has been money well spent. Thanks Mike!”

“I was referred to Mike by my PT instructor, Simon Francis, from Nuffield Gym as I was having recurring problems with my IT band. My first contact with Mike was very professional and after an initial discussion about my problem he then proceeded to carry out a deep tissue massage. Both legs were massaged and deep knots were worked on. Although a bit sore the next day my IT band was certainly less painful. I went to Mike weekly and now every other week. I would certainly recommend Mike as a sports masseur as he is very approachable and knowledgeable. Also his deep tissue massage is the best I’ve had!”
