Movement and Wellbeing Clinic

Fantastic experience: Genuinely fantastic sports massage by Cormac. Very knowledgable and left feeling like a new person! Will be returning for further services not just massage, would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Always well taken care of here! Lovely people and service (reception staff and massage).

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend more, has helped massively with my progress - I have had an ongoing condition which has prevented natural healing - Ed has helped this over time and in a much better position

Fantastic experience: I went for a deep tissue/sports massage with Cormac just as maintenance massage and left feeling very rejuvenated and looked after. He was very attentive to my problem areas and followed up with an after care sheet with stretches which I have found very beneficial. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: After having a visit at work from the Movement and Wellbeing clinic, and having a brief sports massage by Cormac as a taster session, I decided to book a 50 min appointment at the clinic. Cormac was very thorough during his original assessment and understood where my pain in my shoulders was coming from, and got to work straight on the painful areas. He was asking me questions all the way through, and instantly found my painful areas that needed the most attention. After two falls in 2024 my left and right shoulders were both causing pain, but the treatment Cormac gave me released the tension and made my movement alot less restricted. He was very professional and followed the session up with an email, making sure I felt OK after the treatment and have me stretches to do on a daily basis to help my recovery. I would definitely recommend a visit to see Cormac, he is very friendly, professional and knows how to help you with any aches and pains you may have.

Fantastic experience: Saw Cormac for a deep tissue massage after Hyrox. Definitely helped reliving the sore legs the following day. He was really friendly and relaxing. Great help with the follow up email to checkin the following day and provide advice on stretches to continue helping.

Fantastic experience: Had my first ever sports massage with Cormac. I thought my only problem spot was my back, but he found a lot more problem areas I was not aware of! The massage was appropriate intense and I felt good afterwards - I slept so well! Will definitely return again :)

Fantastic experience: After spending nine days in hospital bedridden I saw Cormac Higgins and he was really helpful in alleviating my muscle weakness/loss. Took a lot of intuitive motions and will be definitely be back again :) Lovely to chat to; thank you!

Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend Angus - he was quickly able to pinpoint the cause of my issue and knew exactly what I needed to do to fix it. My issue hasn’t reoccurred since seeing him which is great.

Fantastic experience: Nat was amazing. Was always checking in to see how I was getting on with my shoulder. Explained everything really well and was always a friendly face. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate this clinic and, in particular, Paula, more highly. I’ve always had an excellent experience here and the sports massage I get from Paula has been a game changer. She somehow seems to make what is an intense and expertly delivered sports massage into a lovely spa like treat! I’m feeling better than ever and always looking forward to my next visit. Alongside this all staff at the clinic are lovely, personable and can’t do enough to help and accommodate you. I’m so glad I found them.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend the Movement and Wellbeing Clinic enough. As a 23-year-old with chronic pain and various other chronic conditions, Ed and Paula have been incredible at treating and managing my pain. In doing so, they have helped to completely transform my everyday life and I am so so grateful! They are attentive and professional, but also friendly and kind, and the sessions are always a lovely part of my week. Booking sessions is always convenient and at a great price. I am a very satisfied repeat customer!

Fantastic experience: Helped massively with reoccurring problems in/around my shoulder and back which had been persistent for almost 2 years

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent sports massage here with Cormac after a lower back injury. The massage inmediately loosened me up and within a few days with further stretching (recommended by Cormac) had fully rectified the issue. He is very professional, and explains thoroughly what the issue is and what he is doing. Very highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely clinic and the staff are very helpful and professional. I had a massage with Cormac and he was brilliant. Explaining every movement and all the "painful" parts and points. Had a nice chat too during the massage. I will definitely be going back, thank you!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited the clinic due to tension in my neck and shoulders. Cormac was really helpful explaining and discussing the most suitable treatment options. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Cormac Higgins at the clinic was great! I have been struggling with general tightness and his 50 minute session really helped me to release a lot of tension. Not only this he helped me to understand and educate me on what can cause and fix issues. Really great would 100% reccomend Cormac! :)

Fantastic experience: I had a sports massage with Cormac Higgins and found it very effective. The treatment was professional, and I left feeling much more relaxed and mobile. He even followed up with helpful tips for improving muscle strength, blood circulation and mobility. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and approachable therapist.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Angus. He was very attentive in addressing my concerns and carried out a thorough assessment of my symptoms. Throughout the session, he was kind, patient, friendly, and respectful. Even though I don’t live in Manchester and won’t be able to continue treatment with him, he was very helpful in providing me with useful exercises to integrate into my routine. I highly recommend him for his professionalism and care.

Fantastic experience: Nat Squire is amazing at what he does. In my first appointment, when my lower back was killing me, he sorted me out so much I could go on a business trip that required a lot of walking, bending and lifting (I am not kidding). What’s great about Nat is that he doesn’t just heal you over the sessions, but he also give you very practical tips to prevent injury relapse, so in my case he’d teach me calisthenic exercises to strengthen and stretch my lower back while also telling me to constantly drink and refill my glass of water at work so that I’d regularly stand up and walk, as he identified my long hours of sitting at work as a major factor leading to my lower back injury. To top it all off, he is an absolutely lovely person! Thank you so much Nat!

Fantastic experience: I had a sports massage with Cormac recently and honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He took the time to explain what was going on while working on the problem areas effectively. Really appreciated that he also followed up after the session to check that everything was okay and to share stretches that could help improve my pain. I felt relief straight away, and we also had a great chat throughout the session so will definitely be going back.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience at the clinic after visiting for the first time for a sports massage using Class Pass. Cormac was very pleasant and knowledgeable, checking in throughout the session and followed up with an email for additional stretches. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was treated by Ed and Paula this year for a shoulder injury sustained from a combination of teaching Yoga and many, many, years of waitressing. When I went to my initial consultation I did not expect to leave feeling so much relief even within one session. Ed’s expert approach and understanding of what was going on with me really blew me away! It was really not anything I had come across before in my life; months before trying Movement and Wellbeing, I was in agonising pain that was only getting worse and I even unfortunately saw a previous Physio who did not help (that previous physio NOT from movement and wellbeing, that’s for sure, even made things worse and was horribly unprofessional..) Then, within one session with Ed, to feel 60% better was SUCH a relief! Over the next following weeks, Ed identified and diagnosed causes and taught me about my body and how it works so as to not only heal my injury, but make me stronger and more aligned than I was before! Ed is a great listener and very kind. He would send me away with homework which was easy to do because it only gained me more relief and care for myself in between appointments. Ed is a professional and seems to be fantastic at working with you, to help you. I had amazing localised treatment massages from Paula, in which I distinctly remember in the first session with her, that she described her and Ed’s work as very different approaches but ultimately help the individual altogether, which I really truly felt and agreed with. Paula was also so very lovely to me and expertly professional. Movement and Wellbeing Clinic, it’s been a few months since I last came in, thought I’d let you know I’m doing great now, shoulders healed and I promise I’m engaging the correct muscles these days! I can feel them working! Also, should any future injuries crop up for me in life I trust that I would be able to reach out in the knowledge that you are most definitely going to help me! Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Visited the Movement and wellbeing Clinic yesterday with a back problem, i was seen by Cormac Higgins for a sports massage. The loveliest practitioner! He was so helpful and really listened to what pain i was in and even gave exercises to help improve my back pain. Got the best sports massage, and feeling relief already. Very happy and will be going back again, Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: I started to receive treatment from Ed since early August 2025. I have been suffering right knee pain and leg length discrepancy for over 1 year. Ed managed to diagnose the muscle problem within the 1st session precisely. Later he has used his magic to work on my problematic area in another 7 sessions. He gave me enough time to test the achievements and encourage me to do everything I want to do, in order to adjust the treatment plan. I have to say Ed is very patient to his patient and I can feel he always wants to help me out. He saved me time and money by using his expertise with accurate pressure on the muscle. It is not easy to find someone like Ed who is so good at communication as well as niche technic. Thanks Ed and sorry for my late review. Also I love the booking and payment system. A

Fantastic experience: I had a sport massage session with Cormac the other day. Very professional, friendly and extremely effective. He explained the issues, the treatments , gave me useful advice and we also had a nice chat. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Mary for the past 6 months and she has been fantastic the whole way through. I first contacted her after my PT had raised some concerns about my shoulder. Within 24 hours I had my first appointment and a plan moving forward. We did deep tissue therapy and also gave me some exercises to help me progress and to get back into the gym safely. She also helped me with rehab when I broke my wrist. I am now able to train pain/injury free. Cannot recommend her enough! Will definitely be back in the future for some sports massage

Fantastic experience: Best in the game. Excellent service! I’ve been coming to the movement and wellbeing clinic for 4+ years for routine maintenance adjustments and they have consistently improved their service over the years and continue to do so.

Fantastic experience: First time visiting last week and saw Mary. I'd hurt my shoulder somehow, it was incredibly painful and getting worse, yet after one session it's all cleared up. She was fantastic and totally put me at ease. I certainly won't be waiting a week next time!

Fantastic experience: I had a sports massage here yesterday. Cormac was really knowledgeable, friendly and targeted the areas that I wanted to release. I got some helpful recommendations throughout and he sent me some useful exercises to deal with my tight hamstrings. I would highly recommend him for a sports massage.

Fantastic experience: Two visits with Cormac fixed my back. Very professional, explained everything clearly, made me feel instantly at ease and clearly a professional therapist. Highly recommend the clinic and Cormac.

Fantastic experience: Been to the clinic a few times, most recently to see Cormac for sports massage, as well as Mary & Ed for physio. All have been very helpful and friendly. Cormac really helped get out the knots in my shoulders. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have sports massages regularly with Paula. She is so lovely with great energy and very friendly. Paula always asks you which areas you have been feeling the most tension in and she is really good at releasing the knots and areas of tension.

Fantastic experience: I simply could not recommend movement and well-being enough ! After 4 years of chronic pain, unhelpful gp’s and not being able to do most exercises in the gym, I’ve been able to fall back in love with exercise. I can now work till failure rather my lower back flaring up - something I didn’t think I’d be able to do again. Huge thank you to Ed for going above and beyond in every aspect. You feel super supported where the team aren’t just physio smart but people smart. Ps if your pain is more mechanical/chronic look into osteopathy - game changer (email ed/reception for more info)

Fantastic experience: I just had my first osteopathy appointment with Ed due to lower back pain and I am walking away a new woman! Ed was able to assess the cause with questions and the treatment was immediate! Can’t recommend enough, very glad I didn’t put this off.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Movement & Wellbeing for some time. Can’t recommend them enough. As a pro fighter and coach, it is crucial that my body is in peak condition. Whether it’s for a massage, full body reset or full injury rehab. The attention to detail is second to none. Before my therapy with Ed, I had several severe knee injuries. His meticulous and patient approach ensured I am now injury free.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at the clinic. Paula gave me very effective massages that relieved the pain in both my upper and lower back. The atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant, and she was extremely kind, friendly, and professional. She also shared helpful stretching tips for daily routines to prevent the pain from returning. I highly recommend her and the clinic!

Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend Nat - Excellent Results! I came to Nat with three ongoing injuries that I’d wrongly assumed were just part of getting older. A friend in the martial arts industry recommended him, and I’m so glad they did. Nat’s expertise and approach are outstanding. He gave me targeted exercises to practice between sessions, and by the end of our work together, all three injuries had completely resolved. What impressed me most was his skill in explaining the rehabilitation process - how it’s not linear and requires consistent stretching and release work to keep everything functioning at its best. He helped me challenge some outdated beliefs about aging and pain. Yes, we face aches as we mature, but I’d incorrectly assumed they couldn’t be fixed. Nat showed me that with the right approach, we can address both the physical issues and the mental barriers that hold us back. Nat creates a comfortable, safe environment. He’s got a great sense of humour and makes the whole experience enjoyable. Would absolutely recommend Nat to anyone dealing with persistent injuries or pain. Five stars - will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Referred to Ed through a mutual friend. It was the first time I had ever suffered with a bad back and didn’t know what to expect. I was struggling in the evenings and in especially through the night with my back but couldn’t pin point it to one specific point. I just knew my back was causing great discomfort. Within seconds Ed pointed out the area and went right to work. After seeing him twice a week for a month I’ve been discharged and I now have no issues with my back. I can’t recommend him highly enough. I’ll now be going back every month/6 weeks just to have my neck and back cracked

Fantastic experience: Before I met with Nat I was constantly suffering lower back pain. Following assessment Nat gave me some exercises to remedy the weak areas he had identified. 8weeks later & I can honestly say I have been pain free for the first time in c3years. Its totally changed my life & mindset in how I train & live my life. Cant thank Nat enough!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend the Movement and Wellbeing clinic highly enough! I have had daily back issues for over 10 years which has ranged from being a minor inconvenience to genuinely debilitating and would flare up consistently every 6-12 months. I attended the M&WBC Following a severe flare up caused by playing sport, to the point I couldn't walk, stand or sit. Having seen numerous other clinicians (physios, chiropractors etc.) in the past (probably 10+), I was fairly hesitant going into the clinic, thinking it would be a recommendation to do more stretches and some short term pain management with it eventually leading to another flare up in a few months time. Ed's focus from the beginning was on identifying the route cause, and unwinding years of muscle trauma that had built up as my body overcompensated for the back injury I had had for years. Whilst he was clear from the start that it would not be a quick fix, a combination of his treatment and Paula's massage relieved a lot of the pain / symptoms and allowed me to reset. Once the pain was under control, the focus became on preventing this from happening again. The real step change occurred once we started using EMS therapy which accelerated the whole process and engaged muscles which I had previously been using incorrectly for years. The impact was fairly immediate and we continued the combination of EMS therapy and massage treatment for several weeks until I reached a point where the back pain is non-existent and my range of motion is the greatest it has ever been. I am extremely thankful to both Ed and Paula for helping me get to this point and would highly recommend them both!

Fantastic experience: I found Ed whilst suffering from one of the worst pains I’d ever felt - could not walk, get out of bed, reach down etc. After one session with Ed I felt absolutely brand new, 3 sessions in now with my final one completed and exercises given from Ed for day to day to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I wish I found him sooner.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Ed for a while now for a lower back injury I sustained while lifting weights. Not only has this been resolved, but Ed's holistic approach has resulted in the treatment also improving longstanding knee issues that I'd completely given up on trying to solve. Additionally, his team is very professional and always happy to find time slots that work with my schedule.

Fantastic experience: Paula was an amazing therapist, she did a thorough consultation on any pains and to understand my current training regime. After the treatment I haven’t experienced any pain that I was feeling before hand, highly recommended !

Fantastic experience: I've had a very positive experience habing been seen by Ed, Paula & Mary. Always polite and on time and keeping you involved in the experience of identifying the problem, a treatment plan for that issue, and giving very clear explanations. You don't feel like you're being talked at and they have all been very willing and able to explain in detail any questions that I've had, using helpful visual aids. Would recommend to anyone I care about who is experiencing injury or mobility problems, or anyone who wants to improve their bodily wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: This place is great, Niamh on reception is super helpful and Nathan fixed my lower back pain quickly and gave clear, informative helpful advice to combat the initial damage and to stop it reoccurring in the future. What’s special is his focus on mental wellbeing as well as the physical side. Would definitely go back and highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Mary has a holistic approach which really pinpointed why I was getting pain. She gave me a handful of exercises to do which didn’t take too much time and they have really helped with my shoulder pain. She also does an excellent massage. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had persistent neck and shoulder pain and couldn’t play tennis anymore. I came to see Mary and she put together a programme of exercises and stretches that over a 6 week period solved the issue. I supplemented the physio with massage by Paula and even though my neck and shoulder feel fine I continue to see Paula just to keep the area supple and free from pain.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Movement and wellbeing clinic for a long time with Ed, all I can say is that with my numerous injuries and pains, Ed has been very patient and resourceful, checking and testing different ways to resolve the injuries, etc. Due to my work I regularly need maintenance sessions to keep the pains away, but I feel a massive difference in my body and I can move a lot better with none or minimal pain. Even tho I have only been with Ed, all the staff members are really nice and welcoming, I definitely recommend this clinic for any injuries or pain!

Fantastic experience: I recently visited The Movement and Wellbeing Clinic after sustaining a lateral meniscus injury during a weekend hike, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment I made my booking online, which was incredibly straightforward, to my first step into the clinic, the entire team made me feel incredibly welcome and at ease. The staff were all exceptionally professional, taking the time to listen to my concerns without rushing. What truly stood out was their wealth of knowledge and the personalized approach to my recovery. The osteopath (Ed) thoroughly assessed my injury and tailored a comprehensive plan that included targeted exercises, manual therapy, and practical advice on daily modifications to avoid further strain. It's clear they have a deep understanding of musculoskeletal issues, and their guidance has already put me firmly on the road to recovery. I'm noticing improvements in mobility and pain levels after just a few sessions. Additionally, the clinic's location is super convenient; it's easy to access with ample parking nearby and good public transport links, which made my visits stress-free during a challenging time. If you're dealing with any injury or looking for expert wellness support, do yourself a favor and book with The Movement and Wellbeing Clinic. Thank you to the whole team for your outstanding service!

Negative experience: Unfortunately didn’t have a success story like everyone else seemed to have! I went for quite a few sessions to help with my back. While it was helpful initially to get me out of a spasm, nothing really worked to address my pain long term. the practitioner was very communicative online and tried his best which I am appreciative of. After quite a few sessions I looked back and didn’t see enough benefit for the money I’ve spent. I also didn’t appreciate my practitioner offering to help make me a strength training plan and then changing his mind and suggesting I hire his partner to make a plan for me and train me. Wasn’t the most professional approach in my opinion! Edit: to respond to the comment left, it was the practitioner who asked me for my current strength training plan and offered to make me one. I didn’t ask for it, hence why I was surprised that he suggested I hire his partner. And for the record, I was already working with a PT so didn’t expect him to be one. :)

Fantastic experience: I came to Mary with ongoing pain while walking and no clear idea of what was causing it. From the very first session, she took the time to carefully assess and diagnose the issue, and quickly put together a clear, effective treatment plan that included deep tissue massage and follow-up care. Mary is incredibly patient, thorough in her approach, and genuinely invested in your recovery. Her kind, calm, and light-hearted demeanor makes every session feel comfortable and encouraging — which really matters, especially when you're working with someone new. You can tell right away that Mary is highly experienced and knowledgeable. The way she works gives you full confidence that you're in safe, expert hands. I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made with her help. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Mary is amazing and has literally changed my life! She’s so passionate about what she does and I had confidence in her straight away. She’s taught me a lot about my body and I’ve seen amazing results in pain reduction and my posture with her support. She’s a star, 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: I’d give Mary 10 stars if I could! Initially I’d put off going to a physio (for months) thinking I’d be judged, or just generally feel uncomfortable but I was so so wrong. Mary made me feel at Ease instantly, worked with me on a plan to get me back on my feet and running and honestly made me feel like a new woman post deep tissue work. One of those where you’re sad you have to actually be signed off, but if I ever need a physio in the future I’ll be back

Fantastic experience: Ed squeezed me in at short notice 7 months ago, when I really needed to see someone quickly. My back 'went' after carrying my shopping basket the wrong way (it's always something so innocuous), and by the next day it was difficult to even get dressed. It was a last minute appointment in the run up to Xmas, and while the initial consultation wasn't the cheapest option, it was worth every penny. I was so tense as a result of the pain, which was caused by tension in the first place, so it's a very vicious cycle that's difficult to get out of. After Ed had worked on me that day, the improvement was significant. The pain was very manageable and able to gradually improve, where previously I couldn't stop thinking about it all day, and it was only getting worse due to the stress and tension. I'm an active person, but this was the second time this had happened to such a painful extent, and I now see Ed every six weeks or so for 'maintenance'. There have been a couple of occasions when I have had to delay my appointment for some reason, and I have felt it starting to tense up again. This proves that it's something that I need, and I'm very grateful to see Ed each time. He's intelligent, skilled and genuine, with an intuition that seems natural but probably came from years of hard work.

Fantastic experience: What a journey this has been! I came to Ed in January this year, completely exhausted and depressed after dealing with persistent pain in my lower back and glute. It had taken a huge toll on my quality of life—I could barely walk for five minutes without pain, had to cancel my gym membership, postponed holidays and found it difficult to attend social events like I used to. After years of seeing various physiotherapists and chiropractors with no lasting improvement, visiting Ed at the clinic felt like my final port of call before resigning myself to a life of chronic pain. He described me as a “complex case,” but his curiosity, enthusiasm, and determination to help never faltered. Fast forward six months, and I’m now able to walk, run, and perform on stage again—almost completely pain-free. If you'd told me six months ago I would have been offered a slot to play at Glastonbury festival, I would’ve had to turn it down with a heavy heart, due to my back pain. But with the help of Ed I was able to get back on stage and perform the most important show I've played to date, pain-free!! I cannot thank him enough. I’ll continue attending the clinic as I rebuild my strength and make sure my condition stays stable… gotta come back even stronger for Glastonbury 2027 ;) Let’s gooooooo!

Fantastic experience: I would like to share my experience and treatment at movement & Wellbeing. Prior to my treatment I suffered pain every day especially the top part of my arm due to a injury I suffered at work in 2017. Eight years of discomfort. As I have tried many different medical treatments to no avail. Then by chance I found Movement & Wellbeing in Manchester. The treatment i received basically changed my life in respect of having this pain taken away for me almost after the fist session. I highly recommend this company. Especially Ed The osteopath. I explained the problem he got to work and removed. My aches & pains .I can't speak more highly of the treatment I received that's again to the team at movement & Wellbeing. Thanks again Gary Spencer

Fantastic experience: My friend has chosen to remain anonymous, below is their experience with the clinic. I have been experiencing chronic pain and joint issues my entire life, with various diagnoses and treatments, including a privately paid hip surgery, despite being very young. I have tried physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, accupunctrists, and surgery, as mentioned above. I was prepared to private pay for another hip surgery and following Ed’s treatments I no longer feel that I need that. I am confident in the increase to my quality of life these changes have provided me, and I am glad that I stuck with the treatments despite being hesitant at first. Ed was able to locate and my pain and symptoms, remarkably quick. We were both surprised as to how fast my body responded to the treatments, allowing me to have a hugely improved quality of life. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Since coming to the movement and wellbeing clinic and only having a few of sessions with Ed my life has changed! I came to the clinic after having 8 months of debilitating pain in my back and legs. I was a student at a dance university and dropped out as I could not move most days and my whole life had been put on pause. After months of assessments, scans and hospital visits through the nhs I was still getting nowhere and I was told I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. However, after my first session with Ed I left feeling almost completely pain free compared to when I came in! And within a week I was back in the gym and moving full time and I truly got my life back! I can’t imagine how my life would be if I hadn’t have come to the movement and wellbeing clinic and if you are considering booking an appointment I would strongly encourage you to; as Ed’s knowledge and patience is outstanding and thanks to him I have got my life back.

Fantastic experience: Ed has been amazing at helping me and treating me with back and knee pain. Beautiful clean clinic. Wonderful staff and Ed has helped me to recover when I was told I would need surgery. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Cannot thank Mary from Movement and Wellbeing Clinic enough for the support she has provided me with for the past 5 months. Running is my entire life and I ran through the agonising pain of shin splints for nearly a year before I reached out for help. Mary was perfect, the advice she gave was hard to hear as someone who lives to run, but I trusted her and followed her advice to a tee. I am so proud to say that 2 weeks ago I ran my first 1/2 marathon PAIN FREE in a very long time. Couldn't have done it without Mary and recommend her to anyone else who is dealing with an injury.

Fantastic experience: All the staff at the movement and wellbeing clinic are lovely and friendly. Paula the physio has been a great help with bi-weekly sports massages to help with my running. I couldn’t recommend the clinic enough!

Fantastic experience: Always love it here! Physio & sports massages… both members of staff are fab. Never awkward. Full of useful information!

Fantastic experience: Mary has been an incredible support for me over the past few months in preparation for the Manchester Marathon! I was successfully able to complete the marathon injury free, this was a testament to the knowledge, support and guidance that Mary provided! I have always had injuries through sport and running, however with Mary`s advice, I was able to complete a full marathon training block injury free and am now using this guidance to focus on my next training goal!

Fantastic experience: the best treatment I have ever had. Professional, efficient and effective. Even from my first treatment I felt listened to and the pain was dramatically reduced. I would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: When I arrived for the first time at the Movement Wellbeing Clinic I was a little apprehensive not knowing what to expect, I was greeted by a very attentive receptionist who made me feel at ease, i then went in for treatment with Ed who’s is meticulous and punctilious, each time I returned for treatment the pain I was enduring was relieved more or less instantly, I want to say a massive thank you to Ed and his team for helping me return back to normal life pain free.

Fantastic experience: Mary restored my back to normal. After months of experiencing upper back pain while running. I reached for physio therapy from Mary. She helped diagnose the problem and designed a clear plan for us to follow. After a few sessions (and lots of rest/stretching) we reached my goal. The pain was gone and I regained my confidence. Now, I’m back to running again with a much better understanding of my body than before, thanks to Mary!

Fantastic experience: I really started to look into my ankle pain with medical professionals when I was about 15/16 years old. This is when I started working which meant I would be on my feet for hours at a time (5–6-hour shifts). After a shift, my foot would be completely slanted to the right, this was the only way I could manage the ankle pain and walk. When I finally would sit, I would need to snap my ankle into place for how stiff and painful it would become. This didn't only happen while working. As I began travelling, it was a huge issue as after one day of walking around, the rest of the trip would consist of excruciating pain and limping around. I started by seeing a physiotherapist and did a couple of sessions with no change at all. I then saw an ergotherapist who gave me a series of activities to do at home, to which none of it made any difference. I then went to see an orthotics specialist who told me that the reason I had pain was because I wore "trendy" shoes and not orthopaedics. As a 16-year-old girl, there was absolutely no way I was going to start wearing orthopaedic support shoes.. My last stop was an orthopaedic surgeon. He proceeded to tell me that there was nothing we could do and that I would probably be in pain for the rest of my life. So, for 20 plus years I just lived with the fact that every time I would be on my feet for hours, I would need to suffer the consequences. At 30, I moved to Manchester and began commuting via public transit, this meant a lot more walking than being a driver in a city for the past 10 years. I was in pain and heard about osteopathy from a friend who had back pain, I googled osteopath Manchester and clicked the first link I saw which led me here. A little under a year later and I can go on weekend trips or walks in the country or shopping days in town and still wake up the next day and go about my life as usual. It is not a quick fix by any means, but it has been extremely beneficial and changed my quality of life 22 years in the making!

Fantastic experience: I've struggled with neck pain my whole life and have been to countless physiotherapists, masseuses, and chiropractors. I always believed that pressure was the key to a good massage—but they helped me realise that technique comes first. Every single time I go, I leave without neck pain, and the relief lasts so much longer than before. I can ask which muscle is tight and why, and they always explain it clearly. I've never felt this pain-free in my life. It's a blessing to be able to exercise, run again, and simply wake up in the morning without pain. Now I mostly go for pleasure—it just feels great, and I never leave with sore muscles. A big thank you to all the staff that work hard and are super friendly! Only criticism is the gate is sometimes difficult to get into

Fantastic experience: I can't stress enough how my sessions with Nat have absolutely changed my life! I have gone from having 4-6 head-splitting migraines every month (and believing that my life would be that way forever) to having only 1 every few months which is of a much less extreme intensity and very manageable. I went to Nat after battling with chronic migraines for the past 12 years. I was on beta-blockers and they were affecting every single part of my life and added a huge layer of anxiety when it came to working a full time job. Nat showed a great deal of compassion and empathy in my initial consultation and clearly explained how he thought he could help alongside steps I could take to improve the situation. It only took maybe 2 visits across 2 weeks before I noticed a huge shift in my migraine frequency and intensity. The following sessions, which were carefully planned to ensure the progress was sustainable, have seen my improvements go from strength to strength. I have now come off my beta blockers and feel the healthiest I've ever been. I wholeheartedly recommend Nat; he is extremely knowledgable, professional and empathetic. I never thought I would have a life without migraines and now they are a barely noticeable footnote. Thanks so much!!!

Fantastic experience: I had physio for a running injury with Mary and couldn’t recommend more. Super helpful and knew exactly how to solve - definitely couldn’t have returned back to running without her guidance and skills! Lovely welcoming physio space - would recommend to anyone !! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Ed and his team saved my career! I am a 19 year old ballet dancer, training over 40 hours a week, when I had a problem with my knee, this caused me to seek help from other physios, consultants and MRIs. I was first misdiagnosed with a grade 2 MCL tear, then after not dancing for 6 weeks I was told by a physio that the pain was all in my head! I first saw Ed after 8 weeks after my initial injury and he methodically, slowly and effectively diagnosed my multiple issues something no other physio or consultant had been able to do! After this I started my recovery shutting off my over-dominant muscles and strengthening my weak ones, I saw Ed, Paula and Mary biweekly, then weekly, and finally fortnightly until I fully recovered! Ed and his whole team were exceptional, without their help I doubt I would be dancing today and most certainly would’ve had to retake my final year of training. The team as a whole are lovely, kind and supportive and a huge shoutout to Mary and Paula for giving me hours of massages helping Ed to perform his treatment. Thank you so much Ed and the whole team, your work has been invaluable!

Fantastic experience: I have no words to describe how satisfied I am, Ed has endless knowledge about muscular injuries, spine, and so on. In my first visit I was barely walking due a twisted chest (forgive me if this is not the right term) and was suffering a lot. After one month of treatment, my posture was fixed and the pain was gone. Also, Paula supported the treatment with amazing muscle tension relief massages, a great addition to my treatment. If you have muscular injuries look no further than, they are the best in business.

Fantastic experience: I've been using the clinic for quite some time now, seeing Mary for Sports Massage treatment & Ed for some Osteopath work on my left leg (mostly knee) Mary is fantastic, very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, plus you can have a good chat during your session, I know I do always felt like I was repaired coming out of the sessions, and this was with my training being quite heavy, Olympic lifting involved. I also got some at home techniques to do between massages. And Ed is great, really helped improve a problem I'd been having with my left knee, which had been causing me grief for years! Even after a couple of sessions it felt as if I had my knee back to full strength and this was really key in my training sessions. I'd recommend here to anyone thinking of going

Fantastic experience: I have had the most amazing experience with Mary. Her holistic approach significantly improved tension in my back and informed me of ways I can support this in the future. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I came into the clinic with bad lower back pain. During the first session, Nat was able to diagnose the problem and give me some relief. He was very attentive and knowledgeable. After a couple weeks my back issues are gone!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ed and the team at the Movement and Wellbeing Clinic highly enough. Ed has been absolutely incredible in creating a treatment plan to address longstanding back pain. From our very first contact—an emergency call as a first-time client—Ed and the team have been fantastic. It would have been very easy for a less reputable clinic to take advantage of the situation, overcharge, or push unnecessary treatments on a patient in distress, as I’ve experienced with other clinics in Manchester. However, this was absolutely not the case with Ed. From that first interaction, it was clear I was dealing with a professional. This immediately built trust and put me at ease. There’s never been any pushy sales tactics or pressure to book unnecessary treatments. It’s evident that they genuinely care for their patients and are committed to doing the right thing. The clinic itself is clean, calm, and professional, and Ed has always been supportive, demonstrating genuine care. The results have been brilliant. With each session, there’s noticeable improvement and a sense of relief, knowing you’re in the hands of someone who truly understands your needs. You can really feel the results. I can’t thank the team enough and have a great deal of respect for the way they run their clinic. Without hesitation, I would recommend the Movement and Wellbeing Clinic to anyone in need of osteopath therapy.

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much to Nat at the movement and well-being clinic, he has helped so much with my lower back pain. I would highly recommend him, through a combination of massage, cracks and rehab exercises my pain is no longer a problem. He has been very welcoming and I really appreciate his holistic approach which takes into account all different things that may be causing the pain, it was clear he really cares about his clients. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I was struggling badly with pain in my shoulder, neck and arm. I didn’t understand what had brought it on or how to get rid of it. Big thanks to my good friend for making my first booking here because it’s not something I’d have thought of myself. I’m so glad I visited M&W in the first instance rather than a GP. If I’d seen a doctor, who knows? I might well have ended up under the surgeon’s knife. Everything Ed said and did made good sense and I went on to make an excellent recovery. So happy to have been a client here and to say I well recommend them is a big understatement.

Fantastic experience: Came to the clinic with muscular pain aggravated by my running. Following the advice from Ed it has started to improve. Paula has also provided some great massages to help relieve the tightness in my quads. Overall good experience so far.

Fantastic experience: I’d 100% recommend Nat to fix your body pains! He has always been really flexible for emergency appointments and I’ve continued to go back for treatment for other issues which he’s promptly solved.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to this clinic by a friend who also had an excellent experience. Nat was accommodating and identified the root cause in the first consultation. Over the next three sessions spread over five weeks, he was able to help with my rehabilitation and get me back to 100% health. Overall, I am very happy and would 100% recommend Nat to anyone who is experiencing muscular issues, whether as a result of sports injury or other.

Fantastic experience: I had the chance of being treated by Mr Ed Madeley. I was struggling with knee injury and knee pain since a long time. At first it was recommended to do a surgery for my knee and I wasn't sure about it. But after after Ed's diagnosis and only few sessions everything was better and now I'm able to go back to my old level in sports. No need to do any surgery and my pain is not there anymore. Thanks a lot

Fantastic experience: *Safe space, top-notch treatment, lovely guy* I first came to see Nat for a flare up of back pain (which he swiftly resolved!) and have stayed on to address some chronic health issues. I can genuinely say it’s been the best thing I’ve done for my health for a long time. Nat has a truly holistic approach and has been very collaborative throughout my treatment. It feels like something we’re working on together, with plenty of agency and space to adapt. He’s gone out of his way to make the environment as comfortable as possible, which is no mean feat for a patient who is sensitive to everything! For any chronic illness pals who have had traumatic medical experiences - I’ve found the clinic to be the opposite. Having that supportive space has made me more inclined to pursue what I need and advocate better for myself at other appointments. The bar has been raised. Above all, I feel very safe with Nat and genuinely trust him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone (but don’t be booking up his calendar because I want my weekly slot!)

Fantastic experience: I visited the clinic for a persistent neck pain that had been troubling me for four years. After just one session, Nat relieved the tension, and the pain disappeared. I can't believe the results—it's truly a miracle living without pain! I am extremely grateful to Nat for his effective treatment.

Fantastic experience: I originally made an appointment at the clinic for some accupuncture due to migraines and stress related jaw clenching. After some hands on cranial manipulation and some Accupuncture my headaches and jaw clenching managed to dissipate and I haven’t suffered any since! Whilst at the clinic I also discussed my history with chronic lower back pain and I had been recovering from a lower back injury two years previous (hospitalised due to back spasms for 5 days straight), I had developed sciatica to the point of being put on Amitriptyline by my GPs to control the strong spasms I was constantly experiencing in my nerves and muscles. Ed pointed out that I could have been misdiagnosed (as these spasms were going on for 1yr+). We started treatment on my glute medius and I after a few sessions I was astounded at the improvement in my symptoms. My spasms and nerve flutters are now improved by 99% and the strength I’ve gained back on my left side is transformational (taking into account I was discharged from the hospital on a zimmer frame!). I’ve now got my movement back to pretty much where it used to be prior to my back injury and I’m no longer on Amitriptyline! With Ed & Paula’s help I’ve managed to get my active lifestyle back and what’s even better is it’s drug free! Whenever I had a physical issue or ailment now, I go to Ed & the team rather than the GPs. Their treatment and level is service is fantastic and I recommend them to anyone I talk to about wanting to improve niggles or injuries.

Fantastic experience: After months of having agonising pain in my upper back, I finally decided to see an Osteopath about it and it was the best decision I had made! The osteopath I saw was Ed, who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Following an in depth consultation, Ed knew exactly what the issue was - a few sessions of treatment and demonstrations on exercises for me to perform in the gym and my back pain had completely subsided! I can’t thank Ed enough - as a 24 year old woman I was very keen to not let the pain fester and now I am able to return to my daily life without any back pain! Thank you Ed.

Fantastic experience: Cannot praise these guys highly enough. After an initial chat with Nat at my local climbing gym I booked in with Ed and am so glad I did. I had been diagnosed with sciatica 18 months ago, been referred for physio but was still in pain after months of following the guidance. I was referred for an MRI and a bulging disc was identified which should have caused me pain on my right leg. The pain was down my left side. I was then referred to a neurologist, and was facing the possibility of surgery. That’s when I decided to contact the Movement and Wellness Clinic. Ed was thorough, explained everything too me and after an initial assessment at the end of March diagnosed a problem with my SI joint which made much more sense given my history and symptoms. I was keen to be pain free before a very special holiday in August and Ed was confident I would be! And I am. He and Paula have been absolutely wonderful. Not just because of my outcomes but with how professional, caring and genuinely lovely they have been. They put me at ease straight away. I 100% recommend a visit to these guys if you are struggling with an injury or chronic pain.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Ed while waiting for surgery on my arm to be honest I was very skeptical as I had been somewhere else with no joy however the pain was verging on unbearable. After my consultation Ed seemed to know exactly what was wrong and suggested I might not even need surgery after all. It took a few sessions but the pain started to ease and my mobility started to return. it's been a slow process but I now don't need surgery and what Ed has managed to achieve is nothing short of a miracle. I will be forever grateful and would recommend this guy to anyone. Thanks Ed

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Nat for over a year and he has been nothing short of amazing! Great practitioner and listener. Helped me with all issues I had and has just been fabulous! Keep being amazing Nat. Thanks again :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Nat for several months now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. As someone who frequently encounters gym mishaps, I’ve had a range of issues, and Nat has been instrumental in helping me recover each time. His expertise and attention to detail are second to none. Not only does he provide effective treatments, but he also offers great advice on how to prevent future injuries and maintain overall health. If you’re in need of a chiropractor who truly cares and delivers results, look no further!!

Fantastic experience: Paula does the most wonderful relaxing/intense sports massages, whilst Ed always manages to relieve the most stubborn of knots and tight joints.

Fantastic experience: Nat has been able to consistently help me with each and every issue I had. He’s also an extremely lovely person and I enjoyed all sessions with him (especially the massage part)! I highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: I have always had neck problems that cause me neck pain and severe headaches. After a few sessions with Nat every problem was solved. He was able to listen to me and understand exactly what I needed. He suggested the best approach to follow and the regularity of the sessions that suited me best (always with great flexibility according to my needs). The clinic is really well structured and organised. Nat is a true professional, always able to put you at ease and act in the best way to solve the problem you present to him. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Wow this was a fantastic treatment and overall experience. Nat is a very professional, kind, involved and great osteopath. Got cracked, twisted, massaged and looked at specific exercises that would help me move onwards. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: After having the same shoulder issue for 8 years and seeing multiple established practices and only ever getting minimal results, it was a breath of fresh air to find this clinic. As a fitness professional it has been a curse having a dodgy shoulder for such a long period of time and to finally find Ed was a relief. The process was swift and extremely effective and my shoulder is as good as new. He’s honest and knowledgeable and takes his work very seriously. I couldn’t recommend him and his team highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited the Movement and Wellbeing Clinic and had the pleasure of being treated by Mr. Ed Madeley. As a runner, I was struggling with a persistent injury for months. From the very first session, Ed’s expertise and dedication were evident. He conducted a thorough assessment, explained the underlying issues in a way I could understand, and developed a personalized treatment plan that addressed injury's root causes. His hands-on approach, combined with tailored exercises, made a significant difference in my recovery. I am now back to running and pain-free. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Ed’s expertise is evident from your initial consultation. Was able to diagnose the problem that the NHS could not within minutes. Got me from not being able to walk, to being active and able to do sports within months. Also supported by Paula who is a highly skilled physio therapist and has been instrumental in getting me back to sport.

Fantastic experience: Nat has been brilliant in helping reduce my general back pain / headaches and chest pain with treatment & advice. After regular appointments my back significantly improved, which makes day to day much easier now. He also made me feel comfortable in appointments with this being the first time booking in with an osteopath. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Nat for the last few months and I can’t recommend him enough! I’ve been dealing with a gym related hip injury for nearly two years and have seen NHS physios and other private physios. None of them have been able to correctly identify the problem and I never really made any kind of progress whilst working with them. Nat was much more thorough in the initial consultation and helped me include exercises that actually addressed the problem. For the first time the pain is pretty much gone to the point where I forget I ever had any problems. Nat is a great guy, very friendly and personable and really goes out of his way for his client's. Also shout out to Paula who I’ve had a few sports massages with and is also excellent at what she does! Big thanks to both of you!
