 I have had a lower back problem for many years and have tried many different treatments,some help a little, others gave me short lived relief. Then I went to see Mark and now my life has changed forever. I can do my job without taking pain killers to get me thought the day. I now go for regular massage treatment as it keep me stress free and pain free. Would go every week if i could, it feels so good!
Thanks for giving me back my life.

Mark has been the one health practitioner that has worked wonders for my wife, following on from a massive spine operation some years ago, and from which she has been in constant pain ever since. Many others refused to even consider her case. After a course of treatment she finds the pain more bearable, having diminished in intensity and is a lot more fluid in her movement. As for myself, I find relief with Mark's expertise from shoulder and neck pain due to the nature of my work.
I would unhesitatingly recommend Mark to anyone who suffers from acute or chronic pain.

David - Electrician

Let me start by saying how pleased I was with the outcome, after receiving a treatment. Having suffered a serious leg injury, other problems/discomforts developed around my body mainly as a result of the original injury. I encountered problems with my back, neck and shoulders. I had an initial consultation and then treatment. Prior to this visit I envisaged 4 or 5 meetings to sort out the problem, if that was at all possible. After the first treatment there was a major improvement - and the road to mobility had begun. In the end only 2 visits were necessary and noe I am able to do all the day to day activities I once did. I will have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone that may need his excellent service.
On a personal level - Many, many thanks.

I would like to thank Mark for doing a fantastic job of alleviating all the little, and not so little, painful niggles that I've had with my back. I've been struggling over the last 15 years even with the help of an osteopath and chiropractor and had come to the conclusion that the damage I had incurred whilst playing cricket was permanent and that I would have to accept it, manage it and deal with it. A sad prognosis for someone my age but as I have mentioned, I had accepted it.
After my first visit that was all turned on its head. I gave a brief synopsis of my history and away he went, he hit all the pain, explaining at every stage what I had done and to what muscle and how it has and will effect other parts of my body. It was all spot on. This will undoubtedly increase my working life as what I do is very heavy on my spine, and the more mundane things that I do are pain free. Priceless!
I thoroughly recommend giving the service of Mark Mears Associates a go.

Ian - Carpet Sales and Fitting

I have suffered with a bad back for a number of years and have had various types of massage with the hope that they would bring some relief. Unfortunately the problem has just carried on and over a period of time has got progressively worse. So it was with some scepticism that I allowed my wife to make an appointment. However, that doubt soon changed as I experienced relief from the problem within 24 hours of the massage. This relief has stayed with me and I will continue with maintenance massage as I am now virtually pain free.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to any friends and colleagues.

Lucy - Solicitor

Approximately eight years ago I hurt my lower back as a result of twisting around on my office chair to reach a printer placed near my desk. Doing this on a daily basis for two weeks left me in agony and finally my back could take no more. It left me immobile for three days.
Unfortunately for me I did not know Mark at that time and it took a while for my back to recover. My back went again two years ago and I had to take days off work. I decided it was time for professional help but I did not know who to go to: chiropractor, physio, osteopath; I had never considered massage as a remedy until I met Mark at BNI. I have now seen Mark on 2 occasions, on both the effects have been instantaneous; improving my mobility and reducing, if not eliminating, twinges and tightness.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mark to my friends, family and colleagues and would like to thank him for all his excellent work and help.

I recently had cause to make an appointment to see Mark when my back became so bad I could not turn over in bed. Mark made an appointment to see me very quickly, giving me an early morning appointment so that I could fit it into my work schedule. Unfortunately, on the day of the appointment I was 5 minutes late in arriving. Mark did not even mention this fact, and rather than end on time actually gave me an additional 10 minutes of therapy.
Marks treatment was extremely thorough and he was kind enough to explain to me what he was doing and what had caused my problems. That evening I was delighted to find that not only could I turn over in bed, doing so was almost completely pain free. I have no doubt that my back will relapse due to the lifestyle that I lead, and when it does I will be on the phone to Mark immediately for another appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, and infact have done so to friends and colleagues.
Thank you so much Mark - you are a star.

In 1986 I developed a muscular problem in my right shoulder. It was not something that was a "pain" all of the time, only when I did certain exercises. Consequently, I lived with it for many years. I fully expected it to be a permanent problem so had discounted any idea that it might be fixed. Then I met Mark. In one hour he found the scar tissue that was the root of the cause and (painfully) massaged it away. The shoulder ached for a few days. Now there is no sharp ain when I exercise, only a dull ache. This represents about an 85% improvement. I am entirely confident that the follow up treatment session will see further improvement, if not complete recovery.
The message is, if you have a muscular problem no matter how big or small, let Mark have a go at it. Take a bit of leather to chew on when you do but be prepared for some pleasing results!
