QUALIFIED I am I have Been! A practitioner of Western and Eastern methods of physical therapy, bodywork, exercise and healing systems since 2000.I am a graduate of the London College of Massage, member of the Guild of Complimentary Practitioners, a fitness advisor, and flexibility enthusiast, student of yoga and meditation, former triathlete and long distance runner. I have an advanced diploma in anatomy, physiology and therapeutic massage, the gaining of which involved writing a thesis on my practical research into the effects of massage on recreational athletes. Since qualifying in November 2000, I have researched various related topics and practiced with experts in numerous disciplines to add techniques that will be appropriate for my clients. My active participation in weight training, cycling, swimming, running, hiking, surfing and triathlon to international level led to my receiving treatment from countless sports physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors. As well as learning from these experts, I rarely treat anyone with a problem or injury that I have not had myself, giving me a natural empathy with your pain and discomfort. My approach focuses on alleviating symptoms, addressing your pain or discomfort and treating the underlying imbalance, enabling you to move towards a more energized, balanced and healthy life.

SAY WHAT? You may be expecting a long list of qualifications that might indicate the quality of my work. I have often read, and been told, that any form of physical therapy is 90% art and 10% science. The natural 'feel' required for being a good physical therapist cannot be learned and is not assured by any qualification. The quotes given here are based on first hand experience of my work. These are the best qualifications I could have.
01. “A fellow amateur triathlete and training partner recommended Michael to me. The massage was amazing! I feel really relaxed and ready for the rest of the day. Michael was extremely professional, very knowledgeable and carried out an excellent massage. He really knew his stuff! I have had many but this was Just perfect. He also gave great advice about my posture which I will try hard to follow.”
David Wills (Teacher)
02. “Over the last 3 years Michael has been visiting our home for massage. Michael manages to perform a very physical treatment without 'invading personal space' and from his very first visit we felt an implicit sense of trust, which made relaxing into the treatments very easy. Our sense of well being and energy are greatly improved and we are amazed at the intensity of the treatments. It is a wonderful experience which my partner and I benefit from tremendously.”

03. “I highly recommend you call mike. He's a fantastic guy and a great masseuse.”
Alan Bray (Vet)
04. “Just a fantastic experience. Michael is very attentive, friendly and professional, and gives a strong, deep massage...for me there's nothing worse than a bad massage, but I could tell from the moment he laid his hands on me that I had made the right choice. My lower back and legs have been tight from sitting for long periods of time and working crazy hours, Michael really knew how to work out all the kinks. I'll definitely be calling him again.”
Chris Howard (Accountant)
05. “Michael provides a truly outstanding massage experience. He is terrifically talented, engaging and great fun. I have enjoyed Michael's work over the last 4 years and his sessions are never the same. The bodywork changes based on your need. Michael has this incredible radar that just figures out what your body needs and he manages to creatively apply the perfect pressure and manipulation. A really good massage is an art form and Michael is truly a master. I never hesitate to give Michael a call when in town. If you're looking for a serious, professional massage along with great conversation, and some fun, give Michael a call!.”
