Having been in the National Archery Team for 10 years I was exposed to a number of top physio’s and can honestly say you are better than any other one I have come across.
It is refreshing to visit a medical professional and receive plain and precise information and actually receive the treatment you need immediately.
The sign of a true healthcare professional is when they put the patient welfare at as their top priority, do not try and profit from their patient’s condition and don’t make false promises as to what they can achieve for their patients. Michael exceeded in each.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your services as an Musculoskeletal Therapist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine to anyone that needed assistance with muscle or bone problems.
I simply cannot praise you enough. You are certainly at the top of your profession. You are worth every penny of your fees.
As a fully qualified Musculoskeletal Therapist Michael’s medical knowledge is excellent and this is accompanied by a reassuring ‘bedside manner’ which instils condidence in his abilities.
An Holistic Approach

On initial presentation, or on change of presenting condition, a full patient history will be taken and examination performed and from this diagnosis derived. A treatment plan specific to the patient and the diagnosis will be determined. In consultation with the patient, and due to the multi disciplinary abilities within the clinic, the treatment plan may utilise the knowledge, techniques and equipment of any of the disciplines (Musculoskeletal (MSK) Therapy, Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy).
Where these will aid recovery and are acceptable to the patient, additional treatments such as Electro-therapy, Ultrasound, Electrical Stimulation, Interferential etc. are available to be included in the treatment plan; Laser treatment is also available.
The treatment can be as gentle, or robust, as the patient or condition dictates. You can be assured that no treatment will be performed without prior discussion and consent. Treatment can therefore be given to the frail, elderly, babies & children and anybody of a nervous disposition.
We are also experienced in interpreting X-Ray and MRI scan results.
