I was in pain for the last 7 months after a surf injury to my lower back and could not surf anymore. I felt quite depressed and in the meantime, went to osteos, physios, chiros, a lot of them wasted my time to be honest. After getting MRI and CT Scan, the spine specialists did not give me much hope either, I was sitting in the middle. I couldn't get an operation because it wasn't bad enough but they could only give me pain killers, steroid injection and told me to wait for my body to get better on its own. After talking to Theo, I had no expectation but was happy to give this a go. Theo went in the depth and understanding of my posture and why I was not standing in a neutral position. After a few test, he confirmed my quads were really tight and automatically pulling my hips forward, enhancing the arching. And my gluts were not activating at all because of that. My spine is naturally arched which does not help and I am in front of a computer at work for 8hrs per day. Theo gave me a massage to accelerate the recovery process, it was a deep tissue massage to accelerate the stretch of my quads. After explaining well how the body functions and explaining how I could correct my posture, he gave me a set of stretchings and workouts to do at home every day. It only took 15min. I did it twice a day rigorously. After 15 days, I felt great, the pain dissolved slowly. I went for a surf for the first time in 7 months and did not hurt myself. Always consciously thinking of Theo's awesome advices. Feeling so stoked! :) You guys know your stuff! I very much recommend the Muscle Mechanics.

Really good post injury treatment from the muscle mechanics. I walked in few weeks after my Surf injury (Neck injury, nerve damage and concussion) with some headaches as well as some tension in the neck and shoulders along the spine. After an hour treatment and a good chat, I not only feel that the tension has been put at ease, but I also walked out with some good advices on how to manage the injury at home with stretches and exercises.
After just a few appointments with Theo my shoulder pain has improved a huge amount, after years and years of trying a variety therapy to get it pain-free. Would highly recommend a visit to the Muscle Mechanics!
If your a nervous person like me and can't relax you can't got wrong with these guys they make you feel at ease. I've seen Matt a few times now and he has done wonders getting me back to walking long distances after I've been laid up along time with bad leg injury. He listens to where your having problems an fixes them for you. Thanks for the laughs as well. Recommend to anyone who is in pain see these guys they will sort you out.
Amazing and knowledgeable therapist who helped me experience a complete lack of pain for the first time in 6 years.
Laura is amazing! Magic hands. Definitely the best massage I've had and I keep coming back. But not only that, being a trained physio she has the knowledge, experience, and determination to get to the bottom of physical issues. Highly recommend. Plus the online booking system makes it easy to choose a time that suits me :)
Have been meaning to post a review for awhile! Always so happy with Hanna's treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me work through 2 injuries now. I would highly recommend her.
As I'm a big guy I need a strong fella to be able to give me an effective massage. Theo is more than able to do this. Really good at sport specific treatments. Walked out feeling much better. Highly recommend.
