Back In Shape Cheltenham

Fantastic experience: Back in shape is the most comprehensive program available online in my opinion I struggled with back pain for two years. I have been working out all my life and just could not understand what and how I could fix it. I went to multiple physiotherapist, Chiropractor and Orthopedic, but kept suffering for two years. I did find other programs online, one of which put me in more trouble than I bargained for until I found back in shape program. This program is very structured and from day one I found relief. I followed the phased approach, and I feel good about my back and more importantly that I will have The strategies and workouts not just for now for relief but for remainder of my life.I can not thank enough Mike and Laura for a wonderful program and the support they provide is just awesome. I wish I had joined the program earlier. If you have back pain, you deserve to have this program.

Fantastic experience: A great course

Negative experience: Upon calling to find out more about the treatments, I had the worst experience a receptionist can provide. She had no knowledge what so ever of the company she represents and just kept saying that to go online to fins out things. After a few minutes I felt like I was a problem to the person I was talking to instead of a potential new client.

Fantastic experience: Membership was the support I needed to break the cycle of my back pain and build stability, strength and resilience. I am transformed. One year ago, after an MRI, I was here reading reviews wondering if this online rehab program was a good fit. After listening to podcasts, I knew I aligned with program principles. Goal-oriented rehab, specifically, was missing from my previous treatments. I needed help to progress load, so program membership made sense. Excellent education, strategy, guidance, and community. Feeling grateful.

Fantastic experience: Mike is so systematic in the BIS program he has built for those of us suffering from crippling back issues. I have joined the BIS program now for about 2 years and have progressively built up resilience in spinal loading up to 70% of body weight when I was initially struggling even to stand to brush my teeth in the mornings. I was very depressed at my prospects then since pain was dreadful all day and night and required all sorts of medication to alleviate it. With encouragement from Mike and the community, strength and confidence has been built up on a daily, monthly and now nearly two years on. My lumbar spinal bone structure ( and I have every bad diagnosis from spondy, disc degen, pars defect, foraminal narrowing, disc bulge and scoliosis) may not have changed in medical diagnosis but the musculature, tendon and nerve rehab of my body through this program has enabled all terminologies above to fade into the distant background, while I am enabled to engage life ( carefully!). BIS is a life changing and saving program for those with spinal problems. It is carefully crafted to be educational, pragmatically incremental and we can learn from the guru Mike himself as well as the community. So A Big Thank You to Mike and team as you have devoted your life to help others with your expertise.

Fantastic experience: If you’re on the fence on whether to sign up for the Back in Shape DO IT!! I suffered terrible sciatica and I was at a total loss and one late night I came across this program being advertised and figured I had nothing to lose!! It’s not just another “stretches will fix it” it actually gets to the root cause of your issue! I signed up for two months of the independent program and I finally have more pain free days that not!! I am stronger than I’ve ever been and learned so many daily things I was doing to exacerbate my own problems! I LOVE Dr Mikes guidance and slow explanations! Be patient with yourself! Don’t be discouraged when you see in the program there are MANY teaching video clips before you get to the physical part! I CANNOT recommend this program enough!! Also don’t miss the regular podcasts as well! Thanking the Lord for relief after almost 9 months of misery! Hurrah for Back in shape and strength!!

Fantastic experience: Hi Back In Shape Team , I'm Gianluca I would like to thanks you cause I found all the educational material very usefull. I studied it in detail. I've been doing those kind of exercises since a long time but now I've learned the concept of aggravation free reps , TREAT protocol, the discvery process and how to adapt the exercises to my life and my need ! And that makes a big difference from the past! It's a very mind changing experience! Thanks a lot!

Fantastic experience: When I first started the program, I wasn’t able to sit for even 20 minutes without experiencing back pain. Now, I can drive for over an hour completely pain-free, and I’m able to squat 80kg and hip hinge 75 above my body weight. I’ve also learned how to properly protect and support my back during movement. This program has helped me in so many different ways, and I truly appreciate the positive impact it has had on my strength and daily life. Thank you to the Back in Shape team.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Back in Shape for several years, using the online exercise regime and also having some in person IDD sessions with Michael. After years of struggling with lower back pain, I found the IDD sessions combined with the strengthening work carried out at home, really quite transformational. I highly recommend both Michael's sessions and the comprehensive and easy to use Back in Shape App.

Fantastic experience: I chose the Back In Shape online program after several failed attempts with local Physiotherapy Centers to recover from a golf-related back injury. Their approach is a very structured one, phased and gradual. The whole philosophy is explained so that you understand why you're doing what you're doing, especially how the exercises are related to everyday movements you have to do anyway. The members area offers a great way to share any questions or issues, as well as sharing videos of how you do the exercises to get feedback amd guidance very quickly. And now I have thankfully fully recovered from my injury, and the best thing is that I now have a stronger core than before the injury, a better understanding of how to maintain proper posture and a neutral spine, and the willpower to continue doing my core exercises to get even stronger and more injury-proof. Thank you Mike and Lara for this program.

Fantastic experience: I really can't recommend Mike and lads at Back in Shape enough. In July 2025 I had a l4 l5 protrusion that resulted in foot drop due to nerve compression. I was always fit and trained to be strong so it was avery challenging time for me. I signed up with BIS program and went through the phases. 7 months later my back has never been as strong, I also have confidence in back again. I still have some ways to go as far as nerve regeneration but that's a game of patience on my part. Going forward the biggest thing I am taking from the program is the educational aspect. Mike has a way of breaking down why injuries happen and how to put a structure in place to avoid injuries in the future. I really can't recommend this program enough and ill be forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: Mike and Lara's work really helped me through a difficult and painful low back injury. The education provided around why and how to heal was invaluable and definitely helped me heal my L4 L5 bulging disc. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a sufferer of sciatic pain for 17 years. It began with pain running down my right hamstring during training for jiu jitsu, and since then I have been through many, many programs, techniques, methods, and physicians to find relief. I tried Global Postural Re-education, the Alexander Technique, acupuncture, The McGill Method, The McKenzie Method, The Egoscue Method, hyperbaric chambers, epidural injections; I visited at least five surgeons who all recommended either vertebral fusion or discectomy (which I refused, especially after studying the possible future outcomes); I did yoga, stretching classes, hot-cold therapy, massage, kinesiotherapy, chiropractic work, the El Paso Physical Therapy program, the E-Motion physiotherapy program, the Gokhale method, and many others. Some of these offered temporary relief, others did nothing; and none of them definitively resolved my pain. I kept ending back where I was: with moderate to severe debilitating pain. Then, only two months ago, I found Back in Shape by chance on the Internet. At first I had heard Mike's clear, concise, and common sense education on YouTube. It made so much sense that I thought I'd give the program a try. Much of what he said went against the commonly accepted "solutions" you find most everywhere. Mike clearly explains the exact reasons why they won't work if you keep following "relief" strategies (which is what most programs offer) instead of "rehabilitation" strategies. I decided to join the program (for all that it offers, it is most reasonably priced). In less than three weeks my pain had already been greatly reduced (perhaps about 75%). With continued work, and carefully following the program, only two months later I am now 100% pain free. The reasons are clear; there is no magic remedy here. It is merely sticking with Mike, trusting the process, following his instructions, and doing the work (which is neither difficult nor time-consuming). Mike will guide you on your journey even at a personal level, as he answers every single question, in a timely manner and without extra charge, on the Back in Shape website and on the Live YouTube sessions. In my case, I began to notice every day or two a slight improvement; this kept me going with enthusiasm. Today, I am now back to riding my bike, going to the gym, and doing all the physical activity that I love. No surgery. No waste of time. No waste of money. No dead ends. I urge any of you who are suffering low back pain, whatever the causes or symptoms, to go through Back in Shape. I cannot recommend highly enough this valuable resource. I am deeply grateful to have found the only answer I will ever need.

Fantastic experience: I honestly feel like this program helped my back pain so much! There’s so much fluff and opposing ways online to help back pain. But this was phenomenal for my L5 S1 herniating thanks for giving me pain relief after chronic years of pain

Fantastic experience: I had lower back pain for over a decade before finding this program. I thought I was going to have to live with it forever. Now I am back pain free and could not be more grateful to the back in shape team.

Fantastic experience: I was approaching desperate when I found the Back in Shape (BIS) Program. I had recently gone through a series of back injections and...they didn't work. I started searching online for any kind of relief and found BIS. I was skeptical but went ahead and signed up for 1 month. After 2 months I was convinced and signed on for a full year. Seven months later, I have found my "tribe." My back pain is almost gone, and I'm stronger than I've been in years. Finally, I'm not just told to do certain things, but I'm given ALL the answers why. The educational material in this program is just as valuable as the exercise videos themselves. The entire program is professionally produced, no shabby iPhone videos here. Long story short - I love it and see myself doing this for the long term.

Fantastic experience: I’ve consulted many physios and healthcare professionals about my back injury, and Back In Shape are among the best. With so much information out there, it’s easy to feel lost, but they helped me get back to basics and rebuild step by step. They’ve been a huge help in my post-surgical recovery, and their library of exercises and resources is excellent. I’d highly recommend Lara and Michael to anyone needing specialist support with back injury rehab.

Fantastic experience: I was a member of their premium paid program and can't recommend it more!! In fact I recommend it to everyone as soon as the word lower back is said. :D Fantastic content, structured, solid, backed by research, so easy to follow and know exactly what to do, when to do, how to increase the intensity of the rehab over time and so on. Gives understanding, hope, support, real results and progress. I did not only become pain free but also the strongest my body has ever been. :) Worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Amazing programme I can't recommend it enough to anyone with back problems. I injured my back in 2019 whilst training and tried dozens of specialists and programmes but none seemed to help and the pain and discomfort was still debilitating every day after 2 years. I stumbled on the phase 1 video on YouTube and tried it and it immediately made my back feel better. I signed up to the programme and worked through all of the phases and am finally in a place where I can carry out my daily activities, play with my young children and go back to sports with no issues. Thank you Mike and Lara for this programme you have put together and everything it has done for me

Fantastic experience: Back in Shape have been my saviour through my journey of my herniated disc .. the thorough material to the passion in which they respond to every question and worry is exceptional ! The layout of the new version of the app is brilliant we have live tutorials to follow succinct explanations on how to do each exercise what the benefits are. How to take care of back health it’s all there and they go live daily couldn’t ask for a better team who have everyone’s back ! Literally … I’m still early days of recovery but finally it’s working

Fantastic experience: I’m 52 years old, I’ve been a hairdresser all my working life and three years ago after I had giving the hairdressing up my back basically started collapsing with pain, I did all the scans and found out I had degenerative discs in neck and lower back L3, L4, L5 .. I was told it was years of hairdressing caused it . I got to know Back in shape program through a doctor in Ireland when I went home to get all the scans done he had given me the website as I was living in Portugal at this stage . I normally would have been to afraid to start certain exercises but with it being told to me from a spinal doctor and he had oked it, I had the confidence to give it a try. I’m sooo delighted I did because Mike and Lara on the team got me back on my feet again, I have no pain now, I’m not on any pain medication anymore and i am stronger than I think I’ve ever been with the way they taught me to strengthen my whole body not just the back . I’m now in the gym lifting 20 kg weights and I’ve got my life back again thanks to this great team . I can’t imagine what I would have been like if I hadn’t of started the program because at one stage the pain level was unbearable. This program is most definitely 5 star and much more . Regards B .

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Back In Shape since around 2022 and it has been incredible. I have far less spasms due to my prolapsed disc. And since 2022 I’ve only had 2 spasms which were more down to work related stress and posture . The support and the workouts have helped give my back better support and I don’t use anything else. This is the best place for getting back in shape with a bad back. I’m an experienced PT myself with 29 years training and have trained at high levels with a short Online stint with Ultimate Performance. I find Mike/Lara really know their stuff and the training and advice is solid. They listen well to feedback and this is shown by the newest release BIS 2. This is the only place I feel comfortable training in and I don’t trust my back health anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Last year, I experienced severe back pain caused by a disc herniation, nerve impingement and sciatica. During that time, I felt I wasn't receiving the support and guidance I needed to make a proper recovery. I was overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting advice available, and it was difficult to know who or what to trust. I am forever grateful to the Back in Shape program. They offer real support, expert education, and a clear structured pathway to recovery and beyond. The information is evidence based, practical and easy to follow, which has really helped to cut through the noise. Thanks to this approach, I have started to regain strength, mobility and most importantly, confidence again. You need to be consistent and commit to the program, but for anyone looking for a credible, well-rounded solution to back pain recovery, this program is a strong and worthwhile choice. I genuinely believe this is the most effective resource available and wholeheartedly recommend it to others on a similar journey. I can't thank Mike, Lara and the Back in Shape Team enough.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic online program that quite honestly I cannot say enough words to truly thank them properly. My back injury came from a fall down the stairs. I had a few bulged discs that sent me over time into chronic pain. As a mum of two it meant I couldn’t really do the most valuable job that meant the world to me. Life could have got quite dark with pain and anxiety and I’d tried everything and spent loads of money on treatments that ‘experts’ recommended to me. Physio, acupuncture, deep tissue massage, Pilates, chiropractor. Until one day out of desperation my sights fell upon BIS on you tube while seeking relief exercises. I came in skeptical based upon my previous experiences but within a space of a week I went from being in chronic pain to actually being able to walk without pain. That was just the beginning. I’ve gone from strength to strength and over the course of the last year I’ve been educated via the program to build strength and to bear load on the spine to heal my discs. The education behind the program is phenomenal. The program and how it’s laid out is phenomenal. The support you get at each stage of the program is phenomenal. I’ve still got a way to go to reach more goals in strength and be back to doing what I could do before injury but I have a positive headspace on this. Mentally and physically I’ve turned myself around. They have quite literally given me life back! I can be a mum. I’ve taken on a new more physical job. I can meet the demands of life. All slowly but surely coming back to me. I always shout the BIS program from the roof tops to everyone I know who struggles with back pain. All I can say is Thank You.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Back in Shape highly enough. After a disc herniation in March, it has ended up being my single source of truth for all things recovery related. Without it, I would be down a black hole of conflicting information and guidance. The programme is fantastic and even with my injury I actually feel stronger, fitter and more educated than I ever was previously. I have switched from being a Pilates and yoga devotee to strength training five days per week with huge amounts of guidance and positive reinforcement. The programme suits anyone of any age and every level of fitness and it has literally saved me during a horrible period of pain. Thanks Mike and Lara!

Fantastic experience: Amazing team, amazing program! Mike and the BIS team are incredibly helpful and walk you through the program step by step. They offer multiple variations for any exercises you may struggle with, making it accessible for everyone. The weekly live Q&A sessions are especially valuable any questions or doubts you have about the exercises are addressed directly and clearly. I truly can’t thank them enough. When I first joined, I couldn’t even get up. Now, I’m 95% through my recovery journey, and I’m confident that I’ll be back to 100% in no time!

Fantastic experience: Such a well thought out and effective program. Mike and Lara are so thorough and really care about everyone. Highly recommend!!!!!

Fantastic experience: This program really helped me to get over my bad back pain crisis. 100% would recommend

Fantastic experience: Completely changed my outlook on exercise in general, especially as a middle aged person. It was necessary to adapt the ideas of my 20 year old self to suit my current physical age and back injury. Also gave me understanding of spine health and mechanics which is generally ignored in most exercise theory, especially on the healing side of things. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. I had really really bad sciatica for 2 years due to a fall. After advice, help and loads of physio which was very tough from the team it has now gone. At 83 l honestly thought l would have painful sciatica for the rest of my life. I think this is a fabulous clinic and would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: The Back and Shape Program is fantastic. I have tried all the usual modes of physical therapy and rehabilitation within my city and gained some help, but Mike & Lara's program has given me insight, understanding and therapy that has been proven in my recovery. The strategies I've learned have changed how I do daily activities to improve, strengthen and protect the spine and to relieve pain. Mike and Lara are excellent trainers and so available, ready to guide and coach. They have designed a great online program that works for all ages, even if you live across the other side of the world. Thank you Mike & Lara.

Fantastic experience: I had back pain for so many years, and I have tried everything. Then I started Back in Shape Program and it changed everything. I am no longer have back pain, and I am able to go back and enjoy my hobbies. Thank you, Lara and Mike, for your advice, guidance, and support!

Fantastic experience: I don’t know where I would be in life if it hadn’t been for the Back In Shape program. A year ago I had severe back pain every single day. I could only stand upright for a couple of hours before the pain became too much. Today I can go through most days without much trouble. I still have some way to go but at this state I am able to do the things I wan´t to do and will keep moving forward until I am completely pain free. Before I found the program I felt overwhelmed with all the contradicting information I was finding on the internet. I felt like there was no way out. Even though I wouldn’t say the program was perfect for me in every way it was excactly what I needed. I needed a structure to follow and a community to lean on when things were rough. Slowly I found a way through the program that made sense for me and by doing so I have made great progress. It was a lot of two steps forward and one back but it was progress non the less. My advice to anyone starting the program would be to just try your best to follow the program. Even though you aren’t able to do everything right you can still make progress. Only thing you need to make sure is to not give up. At times you feel like you are going backwards, use that as an oppurtunity to tweak things and figure out another way that makes you more comfortable. Follow the key principles in the program. I truly believe they are the reason I am at the state I’m in today. I will be forever grateful to Mike and Lara

Fantastic experience: Michael and the team and their extensive hands on knowledge led me to understand why I suffered from lower back pain for too many years. They armed me with knowledge and the right training program to fully heal. If you have been bouncing between physios and specialists and never fixed your back problem, make sure to try the Back in Shape Program instead!

Fantastic experience: Useful exercises with detailed explanation. Ability to send videos and partake in ‘lives’ to ask questions. Further videos around back health. Very useful for my rehab following 2 herniated discs

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the online back in shape program for just over a year now and had treatment done with Michael at his studio in Cheltenham mid Feb. I have had treatment before in Cape Town and Dubai and nothing has helped or made sense until Michael’s treatment aswell as joining the online program long term. No-one else understands the back and spine like Michael does. The online programme provides such a wealth of knowledge, exercises, information and all the tools you need to take your back health into your own hands but with Michael’s guidance . Every Wednesday you can join the online Q&A meeting with Michael and Lara and all the other members so he really has your back (pun intended) all the way. I am so grateful to Michael and Lara because they are truly passionate about what they do and really care about each patients back health.

Fantastic experience: I discovered the Back In Shape program two weeks after herniating my L4/L5 disc, and from that moment I knew I had found the right program for my recovery. I went from being in immense pain and unsure of what I should/shouldn’t be doing, to knowing EXACTLY what I needed to do. 11 months on I’m back doing almost everything I could do before my injury, inside and outside of the gym, just now moving with a little bit more care and a lot more education.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend them enough! I joined their online premium programme after one year of sciatica and constant lower-back pain, being unable to sit for more than 5min... I have a herniated disc and had seen countless physiotherapists & osteopaths in person, but none of them gave me solutions that made sense. Then I discovered Back in Shape and they literally changed my life, I'm so grateful I found them! Thanks to their exercise programme I can now sit on 8h flights with no pain, and I feel stronger than ever. Honestly do yourself a favor and sign up, it's going to be money well spent for sure.

Fantastic experience: I have been to over 10 different specialists for back issues, Michael is by far the most attentive and caring by a long shot. He does his homework on your specific spine makeup, and gives you the straightforward clarity one needs when journeying through back pain. Even though I’m virtual, I feel my needs are met better than anyone I’ve seen in person (by a wide margin). I highly recommend Michael and Lara

Fantastic experience: This has been the best back treatment for me. Having lower back pain and sciatica since a teenager, putting up with it, then having Osteopath treatment, and it kept coming back. I finally feel I have control over my back pain, a greater understanding, a workout routine which is giving me a stronger back and I'm getting fit.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited the Back in Shape studio in Cheltenham for my sciatica pain and I cannot recommend the clinic and their online program enough. I joined their online program a couple of weeks ago, but was in excruciating pain and decided to visit the clinic to get some immediate relief from their cutting edge treatments. Mike was very patient and took the time to correct my form for each of the rehab exercises. I also got the IDD and the K laser treatment done, and to my surprise, my pain was significantly better the next day. I am still doing all the exercises and will continue to do so. Mike is very thorough in his approach and he won't just treat your symptoms, but will encourage you to drive your recovery.

Fantastic experience: I stumbled across the 'Back in Shape' program online and was delighted to see that Michael and Lara were based in Cheltenham, under an hour away from me. Having been fascinated by their unique approach and gaining considerable relief from the exercises prescribed on youtube, I couldn't resist an opportunity to talk to Michael face to face and talk through my issues. In what turned out to be a near two hour session Michael was remarkably attentive and informative and provided a clarity, with regard to my specific issues, that I had not received before in my numerous interactions with other clinical professionals. He was able to coach me through some of the initial basic exercises and provided some massage therapy, laser treatment and a unique and novel experience on the 'decompression table' (believe me it's like nothing you've ever done before.. in a good way!) I look forward now to engaging fully with the online program and knowing that the team are close at hand should I require any further treatment or reassurance. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Michael is an incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic and reassuring practitioner to work with. If you have any form of complex back pain, have had multiple 'diagnoses', or want a clear way out of back pain, he is the man to see! I had chronic low back pain for nearly 10 years (from a horse riding accident) but for the past 5 years had finally gotten it under control. Seemingly out of nowhere I recently had a new bout of sciatica, which was quite nerve wracking for me. Michael took a detailed case study, and gave practical, clear advice. He also didn't make any broad guesses (e.g. other practitioners have recently told me that my right hip flexor is too tight / my pelvis is rotated / I might have SIJ irritation). The treatments he gave me vastly reduced the sciatic pain. His reassurance has helped me regain confidence to get back to the gym and with his Back in Shape programme to follow up with, I feel I have a clear way forward to strengthen my body and prevent further back pain flare ups. I highly recommend his kind, clear approach.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend visiting the Back in Shape clinic – I had a really great experience there. I visited because I’ve been struggling with low back pain and disc issues for a few years. Michael took the time to answer all my questions, provided lots of different options for treatment (without forcing any on me), has suggested an approach that is very much tailored to what I need, and talked me through the results of an x-ray with a level of detail and insight that I haven’t experienced with any other physios or back specialists (so I have a much greater understanding about my specific issue than I’ve had before). You will 100% feel in safe and trusted hands when you’re there.

Fantastic experience: excellent knowledge and everything has been hugely helping my back

Fantastic experience: After attending my complimentary treatment session at Back in Shape Studio. I was very impressed with the studio and the various equipment’s, especially with the IDD table. Michael is very knowledgeable on the subject and spent a good amount of time to explain my condition, before proceeding with the treatment. He was also kind enough to correct some mistakes I was making with phase1 exercises. The treatment I received was a physical examination of my spine and lower back, the laser treatment and followed by a session on the IDD table. As I want to avoid steroid injection or surgery, I have decided to sign up for the Back in Shape Program. Highly recommend booking a consultation, if anyone has an issue with their back or neck. Thanks Michael and Lara.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend both the Back In Shape on-line programme and the newly opened clinic/treatments. The well structured, easy to follow and, most importantly, effective, strength training offered by Mike and Lara is second to none. After many years of trying everything I found Back In Shape, thank goodness, and it’s really working for me. A recent visit to the clinic was a delight. Spending time with Mike who is so knowledgeable, professional and warm was rewarding in both learning some top tips to ensure my exercises are being done correctly, and receiving a suite of treatments designed to help with my specific back issues. I guess there is no substitute for the hard work you have to put into strengthening your body, but for me I know I would not be able to keep at it if it was not for the support and encouragement from BIS along with the community of people who are all benefitting from the programme. Thank you BIS for existing – and I say this most sincerely, you have changed my life – for the very much better.

Fantastic experience: Treatment at the BIS clinic today was first class! From the lovely warm welcome by Lara to the excellent and efficient use of the appointment time by Michael. I had travelled all the way from Scotland and it was definitely well worth the journey. I had a substantial number of issues/queries in my pre evaluation form for Michael to take a look at and he addressed them all. Even allowing some extra time onto the appointment to complete everything, which was greatly appreciated. We got though a number of treatments including the really cool inversion table to decompress my spine and 4k laser therapy on my shoulder, arm and back. Having been to many practitioners for my back issues over the years I can say Michaels advice and professionalism is second to none and the time that he and Lara take to educate people really makes the difference in the treatments being more effective. I have seen more improvement to my back on the BIS programme this last two years than in the previous ten with other treatments and practices. Definitely check out the BIS clinic you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Mike and Lara. Look forward to seeing you both next time.

Fantastic experience: Many thanks, Michael, for a very helpful and informative initial consultation. I valued your advice, expertise and introduction to the treatments that you offer.

Fantastic experience: I have had 20 years plus of back pain, and poor care resulting in surgery, no post surgery advice, and attempts with many gym instructors giving unsuitable workout routines all resulting in negative outcomes. it is such a relief for both mind and body to finally find professionals , who are both educated and skilled to the highest levels of knowledge and expertise in their field. focus is on rebuilding not just confidence but strength and resilience to enable me to achieve the best possible quality pain free day to day life. Visiting the back in shape studio today I was shown around a Bright modern studio, A warm welcome from Lara and Mike, my consultation was individual to my needs. Mike’s knowledge and expertise resulted in a quick diagnoses, meaning he could then prescribe the most effective treatments available at the clinic, all treatments offered were given in a professional manor with detailed explanations of how they work and why they are being used. I highly recommend 5*

Fantastic experience: As a member of the online Back in Shape program I was excited to be able to visit Mike & Lara at their new studio. I had a 2 & a half hour journey each way but it was worth it! The studio looks great and Lara & Mike were so welcoming. I had a consultation first where Mike assessed me and also gave me some great advice in regards a forthcoming trip I’m going on. Then we started the treatments. As I had each of the treatments Mike made sure I was comfortable at all times and explained how each piece of equipment worked and what it actually does. After all the treatments Mike made sure I was ok and gave me some aftercare instructions to help with my journey home. All in all, a great experience that I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Michael and Lara provide a very thorough service, ensuring they understand your condition before practicing any techniques/ procedures. Both are very attentive and adapt the session to your needs/ sensitivities and make you feel comfortable throughout. I would have no doubts about returning as the service is excellent and the clinic is beautiful! The after care also makes you feel a valued customer!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience!! Micheal and Lara are very professional and they go into a great depth during the appointment. Also they get to know you on a personal level which helps with your recovery !

Fantastic experience: I have such faith in Mike and Lara’s program that I drove for two hours to the studio today to experience their treatment and advice in person. It's a beautiful studio and well equipped. Mike’s a fountain of knowledge of all things spine related and I felt relaxed and unhurried. My back is feeling good and I’m fired up for continuing my journey through the back in shape program. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: Went for treatment today on my spondylolisthesis with Mike. I definitely felt the benefit of the session but it’ll be a process for me. I’ve been doing the online programme which has improved my pain no end, i’d definitely recommend the programme to anyone with back issues & treatment sessions with Mike, who’s a really knowledgeable & genuine bloke. Shame i don’t live closer so I could attend the clinic more often but I travelled 2 hours to attend, which shows that I really believe in the programme. Thanks Mike

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of the Back in Shape online program I was excited to have the opportunity to visit the new clinic and my experience was an extremely positive one. During the session Michael took time to understand my back pain concerns and gave plentiful analysis and advice. The treatments were new to me but at all times I was reassured by clear and thoughtful explanation of the process. I was given plenty of opportunity to ask questions throughout the session. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant!. Professional, welcoming and Michael seems very knowledgeable and he was open to answer all my questions. The treatments were great too, very relaxing, surprisingly!... even the 'rack' which appeared daunting but was suitably firm but gentle. Thank you BIS team!.

Fantastic experience: I'm 35 years old and very active. I've been suffering with a lower disc issue for the past few years. Things went from bad to worse and when it started to stop me doing the things I love to do, I knew it was time to seek the help of a professional. I tried everything under the sun prior and had ended up confused and ill advised by the overwhelming amount of information online.... I scoured the internet and did my diligence looking for someone who not only knew their stuff scientifically but also paired it with sensible, practical and pragmatic advice. That's when I found the back in shape program and Michael!.... Man am I glad I did, what a breathe of fresh air. Since following the plans and exercises as well as listening to the podcasts, I've found my pain has eased and I'm able to do more of the things I love. I still have some way to go but I know with Michael's help and the in person treatment sessions that I'm now having with Michael on a regular basis I'll get back to my best (no pun intended) The icing on the cake is that Michael is a gentleman, and always happy to answer my questions, he's the same guy behind the camera as he is in front of it. Thanks Michael and the back in shape team!

Fantastic experience: The Clinic is as efficient, professional and friendly as the online BIS program. The equipment used was clearly explained and I felt informed and comfortable every step of the treatment. The new IDD table is amazing and I highly recommend contacting the studio for any back/neck issues that need sorting out. Thank you Mike & Lara for a fantastic service!

Fantastic experience: Following a warm welcome from Michael and Lara, I was shown into the gleaming new premises, and introduced to a variety of intruments. After explanations of their use, and quizzing of my back problems and symptoms, I was pummeled, lasered, and finally stretched on a latter day rack. I was then instructed to walk slowly and gently for a short period before heading home. My back has not felt so much better for years, so thanks very much to Michael, and best wishes for the future.
