I've had a problem with my right shoulder for a long time. Tablets, ice-pack's and rest have been enough to cope with the pain from rotator-cuff... flare ups, but not this time. I booked an appoint with Steven at MSK in Westerhope who explained what was causing the problem, worked on various areas with his magic hands and magic machines, and gave me a set of exercises to help prevent/minimise the flare ups in the future.Just the best - Why suffer when you could be well on the road to recovery in an hour.read more

I've been seeing Sarah since May after having issues with lower back pain. The sessions involve massages, theragun, cupping and acupuncture. Having... had physio previously elsewhere, I can honestly say that the sessions with Sarah have been much more beneficial.I've still being having some trouble with the pain so the referral process for an MRI was swift and efficient. Was in for a scan 2 days after the referral (was going to be 3+ months with the NHS).Now we know what the problem is we can both work on getting me sorted.Sarah is really friendly and chatty and makes me feel at ease during the sessions.read more
