I've been seeing Michael for the past two years, and he has helped me manage my chronic fatigue syndrome with the Perrin technique. When I first started, I was housebound and now I’m able to lift weights at the gym. He has been a huge part of my recovery and is currently helping me navigate how to safely increase my activity levels.

Michael is very knowledgeable and clearly is very passionate about his work. I am so grateful to Michael and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for support with their health.

Michael goes above and beyond to conduct a comprehensive assessment and get to the root cause of your problem(s). He is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date on cutting edge research in the osteopath and physiotherapy fields. Throughout my treatment with Michael I felt supported and listened to.

To whom it may concern.
For some time now we have been consulting with Michael Parr regarding our daughter’s Scoliosis. I cannot praise his professional and thoughtful approach to her treatment enough. We have found Michael to be extremely efficient with his time and each visit builds on development and progress from the previous session.
From our initial visit to our most recent, we have seen positive physical improvements in our daughter’s health. He shows respect and kindness during his treatment and I would highly recommend Michael to other people whose children suffer from Scoliosis.
In concluding, Michael is totally professional and I would highly recommend him. As a family, we are very grateful for his help.

I've been seeing Michael for the last few months after being diagnosed with scoliosis earlier this year. I had never heard of scoliosis before so felt a bit at a loss as to what to do about it, especially given the other practitioners I had seen couldn't answer my questions or give me any advice other than "keep moving" and "come back when you have chronic pain".

Michael’s expertise was evident from the beginning. He empowered me with knowledge and clarity regarding scoliosis, what progress I can expect to make and how we can work with it. Not only does he continue to answer my (many) questions, but he actively encourages them, which in my mind is the strongest indicator of a skilled practitioner.

The DNS approach he employs is interesting and, dare I say it, fun. I'm always impressed by how Michael combines a number of approaches and tailors it to my specific curve and shows curiosity when an exercise doesn't go to plan. He strikes the perfect balance of providing encouragement and support while also challenging me to give my best. I trust Michael implicitly in my care and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for scoliosis treatment/a skilled osteopath.

Thank you Michael!

I am currently being treated by Michael for long covid/chronic fatigue syndrome through the Perrin Technique. We have worked together regularly for just under a year now and I have seen a real improvement in my health and energy levels. Michael is thorough and patient and is very skilled at pacing exercises and massage technique to aid recovery. Not only has Michael treated my fatigue but is also building in exercises to help with my alignment and reduce my scoliosis. I have already eliminated a lot of the pain in my neck and back thanks to his help. He has gone above and beyond in answering all of my questions and suggesting routes of enquiry for health related issues which has seen a great all-round improvement in my mental and physical health. I have seen many practitioners before for alignment and have by far received the best treatment and results from Michael. This process has really been life changing for me, giving me hope and a path to recovery. I highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking treatment in these areas.

I have destroyed my back for over 10 years as an office worker. Awful pain that could not be released with powerful medicines made my life complicated. Temporary and often vertebral displacement totally deprives me of the opportunity to move freely. But I have found a really good doctor who helps me every time and shows me workouts that support me and train my back. Michael Parr is definitely a professional, patient and always understanding. Thank you for your energy, knowledge and support that I receive when I come to you!!!!!

I suffer with ME and had been looking for a practitioner to start the Perrin technique, luckily I found Michael. I have been receiving treatment for almost a year now with positive results. Initially I would feel more tired and groggy after treatment which is expected in the first few months, but this has given way to progress. I could not believe the enhanced level of sinus drainage experienced through the treatment! The best thing about Michael, is that he has not stopped at the Perrin technique, but treated alignment, mechanical issues and set me exercises for longer term success. He is patient, thorough and very understanding. I thoroughly recommend him.

Michael Parr helped us with our baby (13 months) who was unable to roll, to sit on his own or to crawl. We were desperate as we saw several specialists (chiropractor, kinesitherapist, physiotherapist, pediatrician) and nobody was able to help us or to find the problem. During the first appointment, Michael Parr checked everything on our baby from head to toes explaining clearly to us at all times. Michael gave us several exercises to do at home with our little one and we rapidly saw incredible improvements. We were so amazed. After a few weeks, our baby was able to crawl and with every appointment we had with Michael he made improved movements, until he finally started to walk, several months later. We went to Michael Parr’s clinic almost every week or two, during 3 months, and we were delighted by the transformation of our little one. We are so grateful for Michael's amazing work and we highly recommend his clinic.
