I went to Matthew as I had constant muscular back pain for about 4 years and was taking medication prescribed by my GP. Matthew started me on an exercise programme designed to strengthen my core muscles. He would show me the exercises at our... consultation and I came away with easy to follow videos. The exercises took about 20 minutes three times a week. At each consultation the exercises were checked and adjusted, with new ones introduced as necessary, so I now have a suite of exercises that I can pick and choose from. Within two months I was off the prescribed pain killers and relying on paracetamol or ibuprofen instead. I then had a short course of massage which consolidated the work done through exercise, and I can now garden as much as I want pain free and medication free. Going to see Matthew was always a pleasure; I was encouraged all the time and could ask whatever questions I wanted. I highly recommend his services.read more
