My daughter suffers badly from fibromyalgia. Nobody has ever listened before or been able to support and help her. Mike has been brilliant at listening and it has made such a difference to her. I cannot recommend him enough.

As soon as you meet Mike Bell he makes you feel at ease, he listens, take notes and gets to the root of the problem. He's passionate about his work and helping clients get to their goals. After one visit I noticed a definite improvement. I highly recommend Mike Bell, two of my friends have already had appointments with Mike and they feel the same.

I can’t recommend Mike enough. Having suffered a spinal injury in 2015, I have spent years and years (and a lot of money) trying different physios, doctors and consultants with the aim to solve my lower back pain. After just 1 session with Mike, he was able pinpoint the area that was causing my lower back pain, something no one else had picked up before. Since having sessions with Mike, I am no longer experiencing any pain in my lower back and I feel like a whole new person! Mike is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I thank him enough.

Mike was recommended to me by a good friend. After visiting 3 previous Physiotherapists each with a different diagnosis for my painful inner leg. Mike finally 'nailed' the cause and provided me with the solution. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

This man is a genius, I felt a different person after my first session and I have only had two, I wanted to do cartwheels back to the car, as was so relieved the pain had gone! Mike takes time to pinpoint the exact location of the problem and works on it explaining all the time the reasons why it's causing pain and what needs to be avoided and what he is doing. He is so reassuring and gave me exercises to carry on with at home. I would recommend him 100% as worth every penny and more! Incidentally, I am still waiting for my NHS appointment which with physio's going on strike in the New Year will probably be canceled! Merry Christmas everyone, Mike has saved mine!

I’m so glad I’ve found Mike. I recently moved to the area and was looking for help in solving a long term injury which previous physio, chiropractors and sports massage haven’t helped with. Mike looked deeper into the mechanics of the issue offering a mixture of massage, exercises and joint movement. I’m 2 sessions in and am already enjoying the benefits of little or no pain. I shall continue visiting until my issue is resolved. Thanks so much Mike, you’ve really made a difference to me!

I was recommended to Mike. I walked in with serious pain and walked out pain free and with a lot more ease. He was very knowledgeable and extremely professional. I’ve had my 2nd appointment with him and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Sports Massage is the art and science of applying clinical orthopaedic massage skills and related techniques to facilitate the health, wellbeing, and performance of the individual.

Sports massage is a ‘whole-person’ model (physical, mental, emotional, social), and improves human performance by:

Optimising performance areas
Reducing injury potential
Supporting soft tissue healing and recovery
Decreasing muscle stiffness and soreness

Sports massage is not just for athletes and sports people. Sports massage is highly effective in its therapeutic effectiveness in reducing pain, increasing flexibility, reducing stress, enhancing recovery, and improving posture. Sports Massage is also very effective in dealing with lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, postural issues, joint problems, injuries, health, and wellness.

The techniques I apply are an ideal accompaniment to any sports training programme. Injuries and chronic pains will be specifically targeted and dealt with, while simple aching and stiffness will be relieved before they have a chance to become more serious. Regular treatments can prevent injury and speed up recovery. They can also considerably enhance physical performance by freeing up the tissues of the body.

More specifically, sports massage initiates a cascading chain of positive physiological and psychological changes in the body, including:

Improved fluid circulation
Muscular relaxation
Separation of muscle and connective tissue Formation of healthy scar tissue
Connective tissue normalisation
Deactivation of trigger points
General relaxation
Anxiety reduction
Increased feelings of well-being
Increased alertness and mental clarity
Greater energy
Freer movement of joints
Faster recovery
Pain reduction
More positive outlook and motivation

What I can do for YOU

Some clients come to me as they have developed tightness and restrictions in their bodies, resulting in a limited range of movement. I help such clients to release this tightness so that they can function better, be more at ease, and develop improved movement and health.

Some people need sports massage and stretching in order to aid general maintenance, and people who exercise or work-out come to see me in order to improve recovery rates and function.

When clients see me for the first time. they can expect the following:

A personal, confidential and professional service.
A consultation to understand the problem/issue and any relevant history.
Methodical and systematic testing to determine the main areas to focus on.
Undertake the treatment; this will be addressed via manipulation, soft tissue and osteopathic techniques.
Provide advice and information for post treatment support

Its always my aim that my clients leave feeling satisfied that they have been afforded a bespoke, individual and tailored treatment for their needs.

Mike is very professional in the way he works and has a great passion for what he does, I've spent thousands on a range of treatments ranging from Chiropractors to Acupuncture as well as others over the last 15 yrs trying to get on top of my issues and this is by far the best treatment I've had to date and the results were instant. To say I'm impressed is a understatement. I'll continue to work with Mike in the years to come to maintain things and look forward to being pain free from here on in.

Rory

I have been training with Mike for well over a year now and the results have been impressive. I have lost weight but, more importantly, become much fitter, leaner, stronger and less injury prone – prior to the personal training I had a history of minor injuries from playing football. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him, indeed several friends now use him and have seen similarly great results

Jon

After years of struggle and begging for an MRI, I now know that I have bulging discs which cause my back to go into chronic spasms regularly. Already with Deep Tissue massage I have been in a lot less pain and more mobile. Mike really has the gift of healing hands. I will not hesitate to recommend to all my friends and my Karate Club. If you have a sports injury or just suffering pain, this is guy to see!

Maria

I would highly recommend Mike to anyone for any type of injury or long term problem. He listens to what and how you explain your symptoms and is very enthusiastic in his chosen treatment for the problem. He is so easy to talk to and because of that you have complete confidence in him.
