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.

I went to see Steve last Wednesday after being referred by my coach who uses Steve on a regular basis. Steve was very informative about my shoulder issue and the treatment i received was nothing what i’ve had done before. I’m booked in again to get to the bottom of my shoulder issue and will no doubt be making this a routine thing being a joiner i need to keep myself as free as possible for as long as i can!

I recently had a treatment from Sarah which consisted of a back and shoulder massage, cupping and some acupuncture. I was experiencing a lot of back / shoulder discomfort and had some restricted movement in my left arm movements due to a frozen shoulder. The treatment was amazing, I have gained so much more movement and am following the exercises given to continue to improve flexibility. I would definitely recommend Sarah, she is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and made me feel so co. I’ll be continuing with future maintenance treatments as this has significantly improved my health and wellbeing.

I have suffered from shoulder pain for years. At my first appointment with Amy I appreciate the care and attention provided by her. The treatment she provided I can already feel a noticeable difference in the pain. Deep tissue massage, acupuncture and dry cupping has definitely made a difference. Thank you for helping me regain function. I am given exercises and stretches tailored to my shoulder injury and progress." Thank you for your expertise and dedication. I look forward to continuing my sessions to achieve full recovery."

After suffering for the last 10 years with shin splints and tight calf muscles in my left leg, I decided to book into MSK after reading their 5 star reviews.After a thorough assessment by Mark, it was found that I had a muscle knot in my left hamstring and calf. I received massage therapy and cupping in my first session and this has completely cured the problem.I now have regular maintenance treatments and I can train/run pain free for the first time in 10 years 👍

I have had several treatments for hip pain, piriformis and sciatica pain. Variety of options used including deep massage, stretching, cup suction, electric stimulation and acupuncture. All done carefully and with full consultation. Definitely improving.Best bit is after care of a program of stretching and strengthening exercises with explanations, videos and tick sheets. This is what I needed to move forward. Treatment and clear direction. Thank you Laura.

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.
