Postural Assessment
Postural assessment is a detailed evaluation of how your body is aligned and moving. It helps identify imbalances, weaknesses, and areas of tension that may be causing pain or limiting performance, allowing for targeted treatment and long-term improvement.
Injury Recovery and
Prevention
Injury prevention and recovery focuses on identifying risk factors, correcting imbalances, and supporting the body through effective treatment. It helps reduce the likelihood of injury, speed up recovery, and keep you moving consistently at your best.
Sports Massage Therapy
Sports massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that relieves muscle tension, reduces pain, and improves movement. It targets tight or overworked muscles to support recovery, prevent injury, and enhance performance for both active individuals and everyday clients.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is a treatment that uses suction to lift and decompress the muscles and soft tissues. It helps improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and support recovery, making it effective for relieving pain and promoting better movement.
Meet Michael
BTEC Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist
I come from a strong rugby background, which has shaped not only my approach to training but also my understanding of resilience, discipline, and teamwork. Early in my journey, I spent a year in New Zealand playing rugby, an experience that deepened my appreciation for high-level sport and the demands it places on the body and mind.
Alongside my sporting career, I have spent over 20 years working in the construction industry as a carpenter. This hands-on background has given me a practical understanding of how the body moves, works, and, at times, breaks down under physical stress.
My passion for physical challenges has always extended beyond the workplace and rugby field. From hiking the UK’s Three Peaks to competing in CrossFit, I’ve continually pushed my physical limits. However, these experiences have also come with setbacks. Having gone through injuries, operations, and long recovery periods, I understand first-hand the physical and mental toll that life, sport, and work can take.
These experiences are what drive my approach today. I’m passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and live more functional, pain-free lives. I believe in building resilience not just physically, but mentally—so people can enjoy greater freedom in how they move and live.
I’ve also worked with Oxford University Rugby Club as part of my development while studying towards my BTEC Level 5 qualification, gaining valuable experience in performance training and athlete support.
I currently run my clinic based in Thomley Park in Worminghall where I work with individuals from all backgrounds—whether recovering from injury, improving performance, or simply looking to move and feel better in everyday life.

Dianne
I can honestly say I have never experienced the lift i experienced post massage. I think he may have tapped into years of tension in one session. There are only a couple people who I trust with my tension and aches, Michael is at the top of that list. On getting to know Michael he strikes me as a very warm and tender soul, very kind and respectful.
