I have suffered from lower back for most of my life exacerbated by a curvature of the spine but I have managed it by being sensible and core strengthening through Pilate's. However, around 2 weeks ago I had a really bad attack right across my lower back originally and then a deep pain down my right leg into my calf. Pain like I have never experienced ever before. I lost feeling in my right foot and this resulted in my not being able to get out of bed. I had to call an ambulance it was that bad. It took 3 paramedics an hour to get me into the ambulance such was the pain. Anyway, the hospital gave me some crutches and meds and discharged me saying it was sciatica and told me to take pain killers and get on with life. I felt distraught and helpless and very down. My Physio at the time felt that she couldn't do any more for me so recommended Michael to me. I hobbled in on crutches not being able to stand up straight due to the pain. Michael called an L4/L5/S1 issue as soon as he took one look at me. After only one session I was able to walk out of the treatment room standing tall without my crutches and the pain had dropped considerably. I was absolutely gobsmacked I have now seen him 3 times and my pain in my lower back & calf has all but disappeared. I am walking normally and getting stronger every day. Michael is a wonderfully compassionate person with a real gift of helping people. He loves his work and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone suffering from back issues. I had an MRI scan after my first treatment and Michael's diagnosis was spot on; a disc bulge at L4/L5 and another one at L5/S1. Don't suffer in silence people, give Michael a call, he will sort you out.

I had a herniated disc in my spine after a gym incident in 2018 and had several visits to a&e only to be told by doctors that my injury was purely muscular and to go home and rest. After the pain got a lot worse I knew it had to be a spinal injury so I found Mick online and called him and got an appointment straight away. When I arrived I could barely walk and was in extreme agony but by the end of the appointment I was walking normally and after two sessions and some movement advice from Mick I was completely back to normal and pain free.

Michael has been working on me for a few weeks now and the results are already amazing. Greatly reduced pain and much increased flexibility. I can literally feel my spine and limbs recovering daily after his treatments. Could not recommend highly enough

I met Michael quite a few months ago just walking past his clinic, prior to my two session treatment. Knowing I had lower back pain I was still a very hesitant and almost scared to giving chiropractors a chance to work on me, the trust just wasn't there... however it was getting to the point where I was even finding positions to sleep tough, every time I coughed it would also hurt, also suffering from static pain shooting from my lower back through my glutes and down the inner thigh made it almost impossible to bend down. I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad that I went to Micheal in the end. I highly recommend anyone suffering from any sort of back pain... or even any musculoskeletal pain!

I have suffered with back pain for over 25 years and regularly went into spasm. The last time I had a spasm was 2 years ago and I ended up in hospital where the doctors pumped me full of drugs and sent me home. Since then, I've been for Bowen treatment and the spasms haven't returned but I've still been getting severe back pain and I have to spend 2-3 days in bed to recover. I had seen Michael's website on Facebook and I decided to contact him as I was fed up of always being on my guard, wondering when my back was going to go next. Michael spoke to me for around 45 minutes about my back and he came across so genuine and passionate about his work that I felt I had nothing to lose!

We came to see Michael after trying most other therapies, this included Physiotherapy, Chiropractors, Acupuncture, Hydrotherapy and a few others. My mum suffers from sever arthritis and is disabled but recently for over a year had three nerves trapped in her leg and back which made are immobile and this led to a loss of confidence. We came to see Michael and he said it would take up to six sessions to get better. After the first session there was a significant improvement and we were also given some back management techniques to do which also helped. After the final treatment we saw a major improvement in the pain my mum was suffering and was able to move more independently which led to her confidence rising again. Michael was extremely professional, friendly and very nice person to meet. We thank you for all your help and are still filling the back management techniques. Thank you so much for your treatments and help.
