I was suffering daily tension headaches and very tight damaged muscles from neck right through my shoulder and into my back. I've had treatments with both Mark and Karl and they were both fantastic! They both made me feel very comfortable and talked me through each type of treatment they were about to do.My muscles/knotted back has eased and my headaches have now gone.Couldn't recommend either one enough.

Been having treatment at MSK from Mark for a few months now and can honestly say he is amazing. I have suffered with a neck and shoulder injury for quite some time and the GP just put me on medications, however since seeing Mark I have seen a vast improvement in my injury I’m in a lot less pain and no longer take the medication! A few months back I thought I would have to stop training but because of Mark I have been able to carry on pain free and as a bikini athlete this is vital! Highly recommend MSK Sports Injury Clinic!

Ive been going to see Mark at MSK for a couple years now for regular maintenance. I always go for their unique combination therapy to help me recover from any injury’s i have and even just to help me recover from training. With the equipment and methods they use they are the best in the business

Best around! I've been seeing Karl once a month to help with my back pain and he has been a massive help, we have tried different therapies which have worked wonders. He has also gave me stretches to do at home which is also a massive help.

I had a massage and muscle therapy session with Karl. I'd been having leg and back problems after a recent episode with a herniated disc in my back. Karl was very attentive and suggested a range of equipment and other treatments to complement the massage I was after.The facilities are spotless, there is good parking on site and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and have eased my pain considerably. After my treatment with Karl, it was the first time in months I hadn't sworn out loud getting in and out of the car. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Highly recommend Karl, he was exceptionally thorough in my daughter’s assessment, which lead me to go to him for guidance and assessment on a hip discomfort that wasn’t getting better. Again, Karl was clear and I fully understood from his detailed explanation the route of the issue and felt really comfortable when undergoing treatment. Really approachable, friendly and professional as well understanding and supportive with ongoing issues with my daughter.

Excellent service, Karl made me feel really comfortable and discussed my expectations. The massage itself loosened up the tight muscles in my legs and they felt great afterwards.

Can’t recommend Karl enough, he has worked wonders in my back and shoulder. Before I started treatment I couldn’t comfortably move about and after the first session I felt significantly better. Karl took the time to go through the issues I was having before starting a course of treatment and provided me with stretches to do at home too. Each session is tailored to tackling any current niggles and working on those which is great as I can feel the improvement in my mobility after each visit.

Had treatment with Mark already several times, I have never been disappointed. Karl was very friendly, professional explaining everything he was going to do and through out treatment continued to inform me of findings and what he was going to do next. I have rebooked and will continue to use MSK Sports injury clinic and would highly recommend.

I had been suffering from headaches for about 18 months and after seeking medical advice I was recommended MSK. I started seeing Laura for combination therapy and it helped so much. I have not had a headache for over a year now as a result of the treatment I have been having. Laura is brilliant at putting you at ease and explaining what the different treatments are. I couldn't recommend MSK more highly.
Paul Mansell
19:51 08 Apr 21
Laura is fantastic. I have had bad upper body mobility and suffered migraines as a result for years. After one session of combibation therapy the difference was remarkable. 3 sessions in 3 months and headaches have stopped completely, mobility is improved and I have mproved my running form.

Laura treats me for back pain which flared following home working due to lockdown. Apprehensive of my first visit, there was no need to be as Laura put me straight at ease. She listened and empathised with me, and asked questions that I may not have covered to help her plan out the appropriate treatment. Throughout the treatment Laura explained what she was doing and how it would help. Laura also provided me with stretching exercise that I could do from home until my next treatment. Laura is a credit to her profession and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending people to see her ..

Can’t recommend this enough. I had my first appointment just expecting an initial consultation. After a thorough discussion/examination of my problem I then received 3 different types of treatments.

I had a shoulder injury for about 3 years and nothing seemed to help it including strengthening exercises frommultiple physiotherapist and a physiotherapist who specialises in shoulder injuries. It took about 3 sessions at msk for it to feel good enough to exercise again all while sorting out problems with my back simultaneously. The people there are really friendly and its been nothing but a good experience.

I have had reason over the years (I am almost 50 and I love sport!) to seek treatment over the years from various specialists; ... physios, chiropractors, sports therapists to name a few.MSK Sports Injury assessed my recent injury with confidence and the treatment was successful and I felt assured and confident every step of the way. I wouldn’t go back to anywhere else after having been treated by Mark from MSK Clinic. Absolute confidence and gratitude. Thank you.

Can’t recommend Mark enough, after seeing other people previously to try and sort out my hamstring issue it continued to give me problems and I was left unable to train for long periods of time. I was reluctant at first but after my first consultation and treatment with Mark he located the problem straight away and began treatment immediately and after a few treatments it issue was resolved. He has also resolved a recurring neck issue. He is very professional and knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the treatment. Don’t hesitate!! get booked!!!

Had my first ever deep tissue massage along side acupuncture and cupping with Laura at MSK. Laura helped me to identify it wasn’t just the shoulder problem I come in with that was causing me problems but more a combination of things that needed a combination of therapy. Laura made me feel comfortable, happy and at ease, especially because she really knew what she was talking about.Can’t wait for my next appointment (even with the aches afterwards!)

Having suffered with back pain on and off for 10 years, and been seen many different professions over the years with different results of success. I was recommended Mark and the treatment he provides, I can honestly say that even after only a few sessions I have managed to stay pain free for weeks and am not constantly conscious about the way I pick things up/bending down and generally doing the day to day things. I would seriously recommend this treatment to anyone.Thank you Mark

I went to see Mark following an injury to my hip. He took a history and was able to pinpoint the problem quickly.He immediately started treatment including deep massage, acupuncture and cupping.All treatments were explained carefully and what the impact would be.A programme of post treatment stretches was given and an explanation of what to expect over the coming days.Great, professional service and I would thoroughly recommend.

I was suffering daily tension headaches and very tight damaged muscles from neck right through my shoulder and into my back. I've had treatments with both Mark and Karl and they were both fantastic! They both made me feel very comfortable and talked me through each type of treatment they were about to do.
My muscles/knotted back has eased and my headaches have now gone.
Can't recommend either one enough.

I had been suffering from a suffering from a sore, tight neck and bad headaches for over a month and MSK was recommended to me. My appointment was with Mark who was very friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable straight away. He was quick to realise the issues were tension in my shoulders and neck which was then bringing on the tension headaches. I was treated with combination therapy using different methods of treatment across the affected areas. I went for a follow up appointment a week and a half later and I explained to Mark I had felt so much better. No issues with my neck, no banging head aches. I was so so pleased with how quick I was essentially fixed that I could not recommend MSK enough for anyone with similar issues. The treatment I received was top quality and the staff very experienced and knowledgeable, thanks again

Known Mark since the days we used to kick lumps out of each other on the footy pitch, nowadays he just fixes the lumps I manage to self impose through training. I’ve seen Mark dedicate the last 8 years to constant progression both in his knowledge, his experience and services he offers. I remember when he started the clinic and it’s been a real pleasure watching him grow his business to where it is today. He fully deserves to be booked out solid for weeks in end, he’s put the time, the effort and the sacrifice into becoming a master of his craft. For that reason I nicknamed him Miyagi 😂 I wouldn’t trust anyone else to sort out my injuries and as a budding practitioner in the making I will be picking his brains and asking for advice for many years to come in a bid to emulate his level of craft. Went to get a really painful lower back issue sorted today, couldn’t get out of the car without pain before it, it was hard to roll over in bed and often would get shooting pains down my leg. One session later and driving isn’t a problem, the stiffness has massively reduced and the shooting pains have gone - talk about value for money! I look forward to continuing my treatment protocols with Mark and celebrating his continued and future success. Nice one Miyagi lad!

MSK have helped me with both old and new injury’s that I thought wouldn’t get resolved. Just a few sessions in and I already feel 110% better, MSK’s extensive knowledge and in-depth explanation really helps me understand my injury’s and how to prevent them for future reference. Great service and friendly they always go the extra mile to help and they’re always looking into new and current techniques that are on the market to up their game to give you the best therapy. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, cheers Mark 👍🏼

I’ve visited Mark on a couple of occasions following a compression of my sciatic nerve through running and weak muscles. Mark has a lovely calming nature and puts you at ease instantly, his knowledge shows through as he explains everything in so much detail. He used a variety of different treatments on me including cupping which I had never experienced before and the most amazing gun massage machine which is fantastic! I’m currently training for a couple of half marathons this year and Mark is going to be my go to person for help and support on the run up and after these events! Highly recommend

Attended MSK for the first time about a month ago with constant back pain that was affecting me all the time, after seeing mark my back has never felt better. Mark is super friendly, professional and down to earth and really makes you feel at ease throughout your appointment. Very reasonably priced for all you get within your appointment as he uses a variety of techniques. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Can’t rate MSK combination therapy higher,
I’ve had a rhomboid issue for almost 2 years no amount of Sport massage, Physiotherapy or Chiropractor visits has shifted it. 3 sessions with MSK and I’m really feeling the benefits. So far I’ve had a combination of Deep tissue, Physio, Cupping, Acupuncture, Myofascial release & a blast on the Theragun. Roll on a fully functioning shoulder and upper back 😊

Thanks to mark I'm mobile and pain free after suffering for years, tried many places before but no one has been able to help until now. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Absolutely recommended Mark 100%! I spent months trying to train with knee pain, got sent for X-rays which showed nothing and even got to the point of my leg giving way when walking, Mark came highly recommended from numerous friends I train with, he found the problem within minutes (a knot and damage to my quad) 3-4 sessions and the problem is resolved! Also helped me with shin splints, which were resolved quickly, I fee much better now with no pain.

I’d highly recommend mark - he’s very professional, makes you feel like you’re in safe hands and has made my neck/back feel a lot better already after just one session 🙌🏽

Went to see Mark after he came highly recommended, I was preparing for the Great North Run and genuinely struggling with my calves, 2 days prior to having my consultation I struggled to run 2 mile (this was 3 weeks till the GNR) after an hour with Mark I was able to run 7 miles the following day no problem. I completed the GNR without any tightening in my calves, I do believe I wouldn’t have completed it without his help.

I came across MSK sports injury on internet, rang Mark and he managed to give me an appointment straight away. I have been in severe pain and could hardly walk for 2 weeks with sciatica. Mark was able to identify the problem straight away and after 1 session I definitely noticed a difference, he was even kind enough to see me again the following day on a Sunday for another treatment as i was going on holiday. I cant thank Mark enough for his help and I highly recommend him, he is very friendly and professional and certainly knows his stuff, i will definitely return if i have any more problems

Met Mark today for the first time. Within an hour he’d given me an appointment and I was there seeing him. Mark treat me for a trapped nerve in my shoulder, found the problem and talked me through every step - without a doubt the best money I’ve spent and certainly will be returning to rid the rest of the knots and tension in my shoulders. Thanks!

I take my 10yr old son to see Mark regarding football injuries. Mark is always incredibly professional throughout and explains everything he is doing and why. My son is 90% recovered but think we’ll keep going to appointments just for the “bants” with Mark. Would highly recommend this service 👍🏼

I had suffered with plantar fasciitis for many years and was told by previous physiotherapists that my case was chronic and could not be cured. After only 1 treatment from MSK I was pain free the next morning which is something I hadn’t experienced in years. The problem was fully cured after a very short amount of treatments so I would recommend MSK not only for treatments, but for second opinions as well as that would have had me back to running and physical activity straight away

I have been using Mark for over a year now for shoulder and neck massages and highly recommend him for this type of treatment. He recently added the use of a TheraGun to his treatments which has taken the results to the next level!

Mark is great at what he does! Having a very busy active working lifestyle working on a farm and running a livery Centre he gives me honest and realistic advice which keeps me at work every day pain free.
Would highly recommend him. He has fixed multiple areas for me; Shoulder, lower back, plantar fasciitis and sciatica.

I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone with muscle pain or injuries. As a dancer I've had lots of sports massages that have never completely fixed a problem but after just one session with Mark a pain in my hip flexor was so much better, and the range of movement had also improved so much! Plus he's a nice guy and will make your trip to Westerhope worthwhile.

Mark at MSK Therapy was excellent from start to finish, I was very impressed by his polite customer service skills & professionalism. Intelligent comments he made throughout my treatment made me feel very relaxed knowing this guy really has the knowledge & certifictates to prove it. I had a really bad shoulder for months from lifting, no other treatments would seem to work. A few sessions later & I’m feeling brand new benching cars for fun. Thanks again mate I’m feeling stronger than ever. � �

I was recommended by a friend to MSK, having already seen 3 other therapists i was sceptic to whether it would be worth it, i was suffering from PF, after 2 treatments i am already feeling the benefits, the after care is like no other i have received either, very genuine guy. highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend this service.
