Welcome

Hi, I'm Mike Colquhoun. Let me explain that I trade as Body Work Therapy and I practice Musculo/Skeletal/Lymphatic Therapy.

I've been working as a masseur since 1987 and I love the job. I first realised I was hooked when I found myself reading text books for recreation. I'm afraid I'm still that sad little geek! I just love how the body works and can't learn enough about it.

So after basic training I.T.E.C. [International Therapy Examination Council] Anatomy and Physiology, Massage, Sports Massage, Aromatherapy and Stress management, I went on to take the A.P.N.T [Association of Physical and Natural Therapists] course in Massage Therapy and Body-work which was the best and the most advanced at that time, but then I.T.E.C. brought out their Holistic Clinical Honours Diploma so I took that and passed with Distinction.

About Us

As well as developing my skills within my Clinic and devouring research, I spent some years teaching post graduate classes in things like Neuro Muscular Technique, Lymphatic Drainage, Muscle Energy Technique and other advanced techniques.

Since then I have specialised in Mobilisation based on an Osteopathic understanding of how the muscles and joints work and how the fluids interact with the rest of the tissues. I regularly read research for fun and wake up each morning with the happy thought that I will be seeing more complex problems and nice new challenges to-day and I get to meet and help such a variety of wonderful people.

You see because I work slowly, thoroughly and methodically during each session I get excellent results but of course this means I have to charge for an hour rather than ten minutes. So my patients are self selecting for those who have tried others and, had any of those succeeded, I would not be seeing them. I get the difficult problems to solve. Lucky me. You see I'm usually successful within two or three sessions and I know of no other way of obtaining the sensation of walking on air for a couple of days other than having a patient's quality of life dramatically improve as a direct result of what you have done for them.
