Combination Therapy ULTRA – Revolutionizing Treatment in the North East

As the title suggests – there’s a zap, a cup and some needles involved. In total there are 7 different treatments which are available in the session – depending on your needs:

1. Shockwave Therapy – state of the art treatment which has a great evidence base for improving soft tissue problems. We use a state of the art Venn Healthcare STORZ MP50 ULTRA machine which is a top of the range unit. Take a look at our shockwave page for further details on the benefits of shockwave therapy.
2. Dry Cupping – suction cups are used to suck skin, muscle and fascia in to the cups which helps to relax muscle tissue, increase circulation and also stimulate a healing response. You may be left with some dark circles following treatment as the blood is drawn and left in the top layer of the skin. Removal of waste products within soft tissues is a key benefit of this treatment.
3. Dry Needling – is a form of acupuncture which is derived from Chinese medicine. This is also known as medical acupuncture. This form of needling is more evidence based than the traditional version. It is used to treat myofascial trigger points, muscle tension and pain.
4. Sports/Deep Tissue Massage – massage therapy helps to relax muscles, reduce pain and increase circulation. Massage helps our therapists get a feel for how your body may be feeling and it allows us to treat you with more accuracy.
5. IASTM Tools – a great way to approach painful and tight soft tissues are these special tools which target the muscle and fascia. These tools can be more specific than finger tips and can allow for greater treatment benefit. Click on the link to see an IASTM tool.
6. Kinesiology Taping – elasticated taping which helps to provide pain and swelling reduction but also can provide your body with support and feedback to help your joints work in the best way possible!
7. Percussive Therapy / Theragun – another piece of the latest technology which allows deep and repetitive penetration of your soft tissues in order to break down scar tissue, relax muscles and improve range of motion. The Theragun G3 Pro is the market leading percussive therapy tool and we get great results using it at MSK Sports Injury Clinic.

You can take a look at each form of therapy via their pages which are highlighted above. If you prefer you can simply book these treatments on their own but wait until you read the next section…

There is a great reason why our clinic director Mark Poolan developed Combintion Therapy Ultra as he had seen the benefit of each type of therapy and wanted to create something unique that no other clinic offered in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Typical physiotherapy or sports therapy sessions may only last 30 minutes or 45 minutes but this session gives you a whole hour to relax and let us get to work on your problems.

All of the treatments used in Combination Therapy Ultra are evidence based and get proven results – imagine the benefit of all 7 treatments within 1 hour session.

This is why it has such a good reputation and is our number one treatment. The impact that combined treatment modalities have on your body is far more powerful than 1 single modality on its own.

This should be enough of a reason to make your mind up, but wait, there’s more!

If you need shockwave therapy for your treatment we already offer great value on a session priced at £45 per session. A quick scan of other providers in the area shows that the average price range is between £55-100 for a single session. Shockwave typically can take between 3-6 sessions to be effective, our lower cost can help you to save pennies without compromising on quality of care.

Combination Therapy Ultra is a 60 minute treatment session which includes shockwave therapy + 7 other treatments for only £60 per hour. This treatment with other providers would typically cost on average between £110-£200 per hour.

This represents the best value for money in Newcastle Upon Tyne healthcare providers. If you are looking for effective injury management with an extended session and multiple treatments – MSK Sports Injury Clinic Newcastle is the destination.

Remember – prevention is better than cure!

Our booking process is so simple! To book your treatment in Newcastle, click the book now button, select your treatment type, select a date, select a time and then confirm! You will receive a booking confirmation email along with a email and text message reminder 24 hours prior to your appointment. Let us do the work.

The dreaded shin splints!! Great physio massage to free up the tightness. Explained the physio exercises that I needed to do. Then emailed full instructions to me. Whoop whoop. Back running again after a couple of weeks rest and lots of strengthening exercises. Online appointments, so easy to book. Lots of free parking. All COVID regulations followed. Excellent

I have seen Laura a couple of times for aknee problem, and although I still have a long way to go, I have total faith in her methods. I can honestly say I have never had so much hands on treatment in a single hour, no chit chat, she just gets straight in there. Totally get your money’s worth. She’s also a really nice girl 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went to see Mark for the first time the other week after suffering with lots of pain on my right hand side for years and I could not recommend enough!

Amy Morris

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!)

Karl Dickinson

23:47 31 Aug 20

I have been receiving treatment from Laura for a rotator cuff injury and find that the cupping and acupuncture have really helped with the mobility in my shoulder.

Ive been going to see Mark for over a year now. Any sports injury I have is sorted with the combination therapy he provides. Recently with having to work from home and not having the correct workstation I was really suffering with my upper back, as soon as I was able to see Mark again he has relieved the pain and discomfort I had. I would highly recommend MSK Sports Injury Clinic

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

Melanie Dobson

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 had been searching for massage therapy for a while had had been put off by high prices or full hour assessments so your not getting treatment until second visit but not with MSK! Sufficient assessment then getting right into treatment and four different types of treatment rolled into one is excellent service. Can’t see many places offering that kind of treatment all in one at those prices. 2 visits and I have seen massive improvements and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone needing treatment.

Central Lofts

15:39 23 Aug 20

Mark is fantastic.Have been going for over a year now and would recommend this service to anyobe.He has helped me back to full fitness as I had a really serious hamstring injury which hasn’t occurred again since.All types of sport massage and sports therapies are available!!Well worth trying!

After being a hairdresser for 9 year and then moving to office work for 9 year+ I have a horrendous posture but have always been scared of a sports massage as people say it hurts. Yes it is not the most pleasant thing I have ever experienced but after 1 session with laura my neck and shoulders are so much better! She was so kind as when I went in at beginning she knew how scared I was but she made me feel so comfortable the whole time I was there. So much so I'm am going back 1 week later for another session. Thank u laura so much for your help and I would recommend msk sports injury clinic to anyone who is suffering (already have a few people interested) mark and laura dont ever stop what u guys do. #nopainnogain #perfectshoulders

Shoulder irritation for months, felt so much better after just 1 session! Definitely recommend.

Richard Havelock

10:29 03 Aug 20

I booked-in for treatment of an achilles injury I've had for over a year. Mark was fantastic and broke-down everything for me so I could understand why the injury had came about and what would be done to treat it. I had a couple of Combination Therapy treatments which have been great, I experienced a noticable improvement after each session. I've continued with the exercise and stretching program provided, and the injury has been fully rehabilitated.

Melanie Smith

21:40 30 Jul 20

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.

After struggling with knee pain for quite a while I eventually got in touch with MSK. Now after two sessions, one with Mark and the other with Laura, they honestly feel brand new. The facilities and service are faultless and the combination therapy they offer is excellent. I will definitely be returning for ongoing maintenance.

kelly Doyle

12:56 26 Jul 20

After having hip surgery I’ve struggled to find a decent sports therapist to help with keeping my injury and body maintained. Mark and Laura definitely know their field and their work is exceptional. Would fully recommend them both 100%.Can’t wait for my next session, thank again. Kelly

Aaron Smith

14:04 18 Jul 20

I have nothing but positive things to say about MSK. Mark is passionate about fixing people’s injuries and uses a wide range of techniques to do this. I always feel great after each session and would highly recommend this to anyone.

Ben Christie

19:57 17 Jul 20

Absolutely awesome, they definitely know what they are doing, I’m 41 now and had chronic back issues for the past 20 odd years, I now feel like I should have when I was 20, cannot recommend enough 👌🏼

Tony Dobson

18:18 15 Jul 20

I was recommended to Mark by my wife. I had been suffering from sciatica for a few months and after the Doctor threw a few pain killers at me which didn't help, decided to go and see what he could do, after one session I feel a lot better and although I still have the pain I know I'm on the the right path now. Could not recommend him enough Makes you feel really comfortable and is very professional.

Amazing all round service, professional & comfortable environment. I was explained my treatment / benefits from start to finish and given aftercare guidance. They really go the extra mile to ensure treatments are tailored to your needs. I will certainly be going back regularly once Covid19 is over.

I was recommended to Mark @ MSK Sports Injury Clinic by a friend of mine. Myself and my son (Thomas) had been looking for someone for a while. Thomas has had sports massages at other places, but never felt a real difference. After one combined therapy session with Mark he was really impressed with it and I had a session focused on sciatica. After I felt like I had a new leg, it was amazing. Couldn’t recommend him enough, he is clear in everything he does and it’s benefits. Makes you feel really comfortable all round amazing service.

Sarah Connelly

08:29 07 Mar 20

I highly recommend MSK sports injury clinic. Combination therapy with Mark has made a massive improvement to my worst ever flare up of it band/knee pain, I can now walk pain free and have started some light jogging again. In addition to massage and tailored combination therapy Mark has sent me stretches and strengthening exercises to support my recovery from injury.I have been so impressed with the service, my treatment and the difference it has made!

Ben Thornton

18:48 06 Mar 20

Mark has used a diverse range of treatments to help me with my knee recovery. He has real depth of knowledge in his field and is obviously passionate about keeping up with the most recent advancements in sports therapy. He offers a professional service in a relaxed environment. Highly recommended.

Found MSK from recommendations on Facebook. Attended for pain related to Plantar Faciitis. Within one session had subsided the pain i suffered for the last year by 75% and after a second visit today already feeling further benefits to being nearly pain free.Mark concentrates on encouraging the body to repair itself and not continuous ongoing rehab. He has the latest in technology and treatments and is leading the way with combination therapy, inclusive of shockwave therapy. These therapies are to aid quicker repair and rehab.I would say it is very affordable and to at least have one visit at least to see an improvement.Speaking to Mark also he has explained and changed my perception on how the body works and the importance of looking after your muscles.For disclosure - despite being a blogger my appointments are fully paid for by myself and this review is my personal recommendation.

Michelle Boyd

20:53 17 Feb 20

I would recommend MSK Sports Injury Clinic to anyone seeking to rehabilitate their body back to sporting health. Mark and Laura have treated myself and my son and have shown professionalism and have great knowledge in their areas of treatments available.

Kerry Cooke

20:48 17 Feb 20

Excellent! My son is a 9year old goalkeeper who was struggling with pain in his knee and preventing him fromPlaying. Mark was really flexible and arranged for see us ASAP due to the pain he was in. After 3 sessions and a rehab plan he’s back doing what he enjoys and pain free. I never thought my son would tolerate the therapy but with Mark’s approach with him he’s had the massage gun, cups and acupuncture!! My son actually enjoyed going! We’ll definitely keep going for maintenance therapy. Would very much recommend MSK sports injury clinic! Kerry

Rachael Burke

11:23 17 Feb 20

I've suffered with sciatica for a few years now my left bum cheek and down my left leg has been numb and randomly gives way when I'm walking... I was training a few weeks back and felt my right side pull and bang I couldn't get out of bed without tears running down my face the next day.... I booked an appointment with Mark and when I went I had cupping and acupuncture he used his drill massager I think it's called and I was amazed at the results I went back the next week to have my left side done... I would reccomend Mark to anyone who suffers with pain and his prices are very reasonable

Amazing services and amazing people, Mark has been treating me for a few month now sorting out my aches and long lasting injury’s which I thought would never go away, a few sessions in and MSK have eased both old and new problems in only a few sessions, explaining everything throughout the course of the treatment it’s helped me have a better understanding of how to avoid these injury’s in the future. MSK always go that extra mile and they’re always looking at new techniques to help their clients.

14:44 13 Feb 20

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, offering tips and advice. 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

I’d definitely go back if I experienced any other issues. Highly recommend!

Had a couple of appointments with mark now after struggling with back/knee pain due to competing at a good level of cycling. Had spent a lot of money and time on other physios but hadn’t seen much if any improvement. Got the combination therapy package at MSK and noticed a real difference, my body is feeling so much better and I’ve been able to take my training up a level. Knowledgeable guy and flexible with timings to fit around peoples busy work schedules with a smart easy online booking system. Thanks mark

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.

Jason Scott

19:08 10 Dec 19

Been suffering with an on going shoulder issue an injury I had done along time ago. Booked in with Mark through a recommendation and have never looked back, Mark is extremely professional and has very large knowledge of his graft, offering not only sports massage but suction cupping, acupuncture and blunt blade and massage gun massages. Mark has helped me on the road to a recovery I should of had well before now. I highly recommend his services.Thanks Jason

Gemma Proud

19:55 06 Nov 19

Mark was recommended to me by a trainer/friend. The first time i went to see him was a couple months ago for my shins and calfs as i was struggling to train or run pain free. After one session Mark loosened my calves and and sorted my shins right out.Ive recently been back to see him for stiffness in my knee and lower back pain, he’s diagnosed the issue straight away and started work on resolving it.I’m now booking in for regular sessions as part of my training/recovery programme

Craig Pallister

Can't rate this guy high enough, after years of pain and countless amounts of sessions with many others I was recommend by a friend to try MSK. Best thing I ever done, after the very first session I could feel a noticeable difference and now with regular weekly appointments I'm pain free and mobile again thanks to mark.

shaun laidler

13:25 02 Nov 19

Used MSK a number of times and can’t rate them highly enough. Marks knowledge is second to non and you always leave feeling 10 times better wether it’s for injury or massage give them a try and you won’t regret it.

Laura Richardson

12:58 02 Nov 19

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.

Rob Henderson

11:58 02 Nov 19

I went to msk with a damaged rotar cuff, I have been to 3 psyios, 1 steriod injection and seen 2 doctors before I was recommended to go see Mark.I could barely lift a kettle, 3 sessions in and my arm is pretty much good as new, back at the gym. couldn't recommend this guy enough, he's a genius

Tracy B

Abbey Lyle

I went here as i had a bad neck and struggled to turn my head , after 2 sessions i feel at least 70% better and i cannot wait for my next session , what i love is mark will use all his tools to make sure he gets the best out of the session , i have been for 1hour at a time and he will use a range of tools including cupping wich has worked a treat for me 🙂

Steven D

01:31 25 Sep 19

Mark was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed. I was struggling to run 2 miles and was around 4 weeks from competing in my first Great North Run. After only 1 session Mark loosened my calves and hamstrings enough I was able to run completely pain free. I do genuinely believe I would have never have been able to complete the GNR had I not been to see him. Definitely will continue to go back as a regular part of my training and preparation.

Could not recommend this service enough. Before going to see Mark I genuinely couldn’t have remembered a time I wasn’t in pain. Between muscle pain in my back to suffering with sciatica which I had already seen multiple people about to no resolution over the course of some years. After one session the pain had hugely decreased, now a few sessions later I am completely pain free and my sciatica has completely gone which I thought would never happen!

MSK Sports Injury Clinic is by far the best treatment I have had for chronic back pain. After trying various therapies over 13 years I have found the one I will keep going back to!

When I first went to Mark with my woes; back, ankles, feet and hips, I had and still continue to have treatment through the usual channels. I've had three back operations and ankle injection, together with series of physio sessions, a batch of exercise sheets to follow and lots of pain killers, all with various successes. I thought I may be a fraud turning up at a "sports injury clinic", however I am very pleased I did. Mark has targeted directly (for the first time) the problem areas with great skill and energy and I can honestly say that for the first time in years has given me hope that if I can not be totally free from pain, at least it can be lowered and bring more mobility than I had previously. I can see more improvement ahead and I recommend Mark to you - even if you, like me are not very sporty.

I have had sciatica for ages so thought would just nod and say Yes a bit better ... but Mark has made it very very possible that it will go away! I thought you had to live with it for ever crunching on horrible painkillers .... Great thanks Mark

I went to see Mark with a prolonged minor running injury. He was able to very quickly tell me what the issue was and what I needed to do to sort it out. The treatment and stretches worked brilliantly. He was so lovely, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him and would 100% use his services again in the future if required.

Msk sports injury clinic is very professional and welcoming. I have suffered from foot pain for a year. Been to doctors and tryed many treatments but nothing worked. Have only had two treatments from Mark and the pain Is nerly gone. Mark new straight away what to do and how to help. He gives you a good follow up program with exercises and is very helpful. Is very reasonable with cost. Definitely recomend

Amazing physio. Personally the best about I’ve went to mark a few weeks before serious boxing matches I’ve had coming up and not been able to move my back neck and shoulders and some how he finds a way to fix me up to scratch. Great option for any serious competitive sports person or just anyone to be honest. Massively recommend.

Rachel Yeung

10:25 20 May 19

Been coming here for a while now and every time has been great. Problem areas are immediately identified and worked on. Mark knows exactly what he is doing and and I would recommend him to anyone who is in pain and needs to be seen by a professional.

After a number of months struggling to maintain flexibility in primarily my hamstrings I was pointed in the the direction of MSK sports injury clinic.The outcome for me has been all positive I feel now that whatever power I put through the pedals is balanced and even, my body is stabler and core a degree stronger.I recently completed the 2019 Italy divide gravel race 1200kms of off-road cycling with no physical issues and I’m due to start The Transatlantic Way in Ireland which is 2500kms long. I now feel more confident to tackle these events and I’m in no doubt the the treatment and advice I’ve received fro Mark at MSK has benefited my performance and recovery and at my age of 58. These days I’ve to use all the good help I can to continue my cycling happier and healthier, MSK 5stars.

Have tried other sports therapy but mark really knows his stuff and was knot free after the first session! Incredible knowledge and very professional service

Aloysius Chukwu

19:01 09 Apr 19

I have had back treatments before but none of them is as good and effective as MSK sports injury work. I have never experienced the Theragun treatment on the body till I had a session with Mark. And after one session, I knew I would be going back for some more. Not to mention his knowledge on anatomy. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to feel the difference and recovery. 5star all the way!

Michael Snow

21:26 07 Apr 19

After 2 years plus of sleepless nights due to severe deep buttock pain, pain ascending stairs and during gym sessions due to piriformis syndrome 3 treatment sessions from MSK Therapy produced an enduring resolution! I am so grateful.

19:56 04 Mar 19

Dancers, circus types, sporty types or just achey types; go and see Mark with your injuries and soon enough you won't have them. Best sports massages I've had! And it's a lovely conservatory.

Ranjit Singh

Kerry Fuller

21:28 03 Mar 19

Mark came recommended to me after suffering an injury and it’s clear to see why, he is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge. Had me back training in no time at all would 100 % recommend

Kathleen Dellow

19:32 03 Mar 19

I can’t recommend Mark enough. He is without doubt fabulous at what he does. I have been using Mark for over a year now regularly, and he keeps me pain and cramp free after decades of suffering back leg and hip pains from competitive riding. Don’t hesitate to book him. Just do it !! 👍☺️

Highly recommended MSK therapy. I’ve suffered with back pain for years . Tried acupuncture, chiropractor and endless amount of massage therapy. So pleased I’ve found MSK therapy best I’ve felt for years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else .

Andy Braidford

15:35 03 Mar 19

Mark at MSK is top of his game. I'd previously visited a number of therapists, from sports massages to acupuncture for problems with my shoulder and back. From my first session at MSK the difference was obvious. Mark is clearly highly skilled at what he does and he has made a vast improvement to my pain and movement! Cant reccomend MSK enough.

Danyelle Moon

15:13 03 Mar 19

Great service! Mark is very very good at what he does. Every injury I get he fixes for me been under doctors for my back for years now mark is pretty much my doctor! Can’t give this man enough credit for what he does.

Ashleigh Ivy

15:09 03 Mar 19

I have terrible issues with tension headaches which are all attributable to my neck, shoulder and back, from work. Mark did a brilliant job working into these areas and gave me stretches to do to try prevent recurrence. Professional and friendly. Would highly recommend. Not just for sports but those who struggle with stressful work/life (so most people!).

Danie Stoneman

15:02 03 Mar 19

Having using other physios for my neck pains that never worked. A friend recommended me to MSK who remedied the problem straight away and after a couple of sessions the pain has gone! Good work.

Ju and Rich Lange

22:28 28 Jan 19

I am one of Mark’s older patients and I have been to see him a number of times during the last 6 months. He quickly identified the three main problems I had and brought me back to full fitness. I am impressed that I was emailed a rehab programme of exercises to undertake at home or in the gym. I have no hesitation in recommending MSK Therapy to intending patient or a person with a sports related problem. Charges are very affordable.

Sophie Mak

20:43 28 Jan 19

Results are amazing, I’ve had no shoulder pain for the whole two weeks between my session. I was really scared for a deep tissue massage as I’ve heard they hurt, however Mark took it to my own pain level and didn’t push it. Would definitely recommend.

Victoria Harley

19:31 21 Jan 19

After one visit my shoulder pain was gone, couldn’t recommend MSK enough!Thankyou 🙂

MSK therapy alleviated a long term sports injury in a very short space of time that I was told I had for life. I just wished I had seen Mark years ago. Would definitely recommend to anyone, no matter what you’ve been told in the past.

Curious Arts

19:32 23 Jul 18

MSK offers a really professional service, the booking system is really easy too. We personally use the service regularly and also as we work with a lot of performers, gymnasts and dance artists we have regularly recommended MSK to them.

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!!!

Emma Jane Whittaker

Best sports injury treatments in Newcastle Upon Tyne as far as I'm concerned! Mark is extremely experienced and able to diagnose and treat problems effectively! I would have had a full-blown tendinitis by now if it hadn't been for his help! Plus he's an extremely nice guy! Book without hesitation! You'll want to come back!

Jordan Frazer

I can't rate MSK Therapy enough. I discovered then after years spent in a desk job alongside heavy training and no treatment/stretching regime. It didn't take long until I was 100% again. Add to that his new 'Theragun' treatment and there's nobody better in the north east.

Alan Sarson

18:57 25 Jun 18

I can hightly Recommend "MSK Therapy" !!I have been using MSK for a long time for a range of different issues including various forms of back pain. Mark has been able to provide excellent treatment to resolve every issue ive had. More recently with the help of the "Theragun" treatment which I can also highly recommend !! An excellent service all round which I have recommended to my friends and family. Thanks MSK !!!

A very professional service given by both Mark and Laura. I would highly recommend them, had a problem in my right knee from an accident at work. By the third visit all pain had virtually gone and I was getting a full nights sleep. I was receiving the combination treatment and highly recommend it to any professional sports person or none professional person can not thank them both 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

Chris Thompson

16:57 28 Jul 20

First session at MSK today sorting a rehab plan out to get me back on the road to playing rugby. I can’t thank Laura enough very Knowledgeable and professional and talks you through everything she’s doing. I’d 100% recommend MSK and already looking forward to my next session.

Tori McCartney

19:56 25 Jul 20

Been suffering with tension headaches, pain in my neck, shoulders and upper back. It was starting to make me feel like I was carrying the world on my shoulders and sometimes affected my moods. I’ve had a deep tissue massage and the Theragun and I feel great. No waking up with headaches anymore. Thanks Laura - highly recommended.

Nicola Christie

18:51 09 Mar 20

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!

Michelle Boyd

20:54 17 Feb 20

I would recommend MSK Sports Injury Clinic to anyone seeking to rehabilitate their body back to sporting health. Mark and Laura have treated myself and my son and have shown professionalism and have great knowledge in their areas of treatments available. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thomas Morley

17:03 13 Feb 20

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 👍🏼

Nicola Taylor

14:46 13 Feb 20

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
