See you soon







My muscles/knotted back has eased and my headaches have now gone.
Can't recommend either one enough.














I tore my hamstring and Mark had me back on the road to recovery very quickly.
Second time around I visited due to Achilles issues. I have also old ITB and calf injuries that flare. Laura was outstanding and really worked the full sessions I booked to get my injuries sorted!
Highly recommended.







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 😊


Would highly recommend!





5 ⭐️









great service, great advice and follow up plan. I will definately be back!

very approachable and friendly bloke too I would recommend to try his services to anyone in discomfort 🙂





Would highly recommend him. He has fixed multiple areas for me; Shoulder, lower back, plantar fasciitis and sciatica.







Mark is so professional and knowledgeable.
Even my GP recommended I visit him to help with a trapped nerve and issues I have with my back.





Would definitely recommend this service.
