After years of pain, procedures and life-restricting mobility I have undergone two MBST treatments for my lower spine issues. Combined with increasing levels of physio, within months the benefits are huge. No more so than the return to enjoying some of life's underrated wonders. A good nights sleep, the ability to sit without pain, and so much more. 40km bike rides are now a regular which had been absent for years. Very happy customer.

I had struggled with my knees for a number of years and with the onset of arthritis I was really thinking that a more active lifestyle was over for me. I decided to give MBST a try- what other options were left ? I was too young for a new knee. The results were instant. I have had two treatments and each time I have noticed improvements. There are some days when I just don’t notice any pain. Remarkable. I still do have some discomfort but nothing like I had before and my knees and hips feel steadier . I can now walk further and I feel much more confident. I was told that there were no guarantees by the staff at Encompass but, for me, the treatment has been life changing. As I like to keep fit I hope it means I can keep cycling and walking and that my quality of life will continue to improve. Well worth it!

MBST Therapy I have had ongoing lower back problems since I slipped a disc 24 years ago. A few times a year my back would 'go' and I would be off work for a week not even being able to stand up straight. For a heating engineer this is a big problem as I spend a lot of my time in awkward positions and straining my back. I heard about MBST and thought I'd give it a punt. I really didn't know what to expect and didn't hold out much hope but I thought I would give it a go because it couldn't hurt. There were 9 treatments over 9 days. I felt and heard nothing at all and just fell asleep on the bed each time. However, I noticed a big change about 2 weeks after the first treatment. I was able to turn my head when checking for traffic at a difficult junction and I hadn't been able to do this for years - it was really exciting. Since the treatment ended (about 9 weeks now) I haven't had a single twinge even after very strenuous work days on my knees installing heating systems. It has really transformed my quality of life and I cannot recommend this more highly. Encompass Health has really changed my life for the better!

Having had recurring lower back pain and frequent lack of movement in the lower part of my spine following an accident several year ago, I decided to undergo a course of MBST treatment at Encompass Health. As advised, it was a couple of months or so before the benefits became apparent. The lower back pain has significantly reduced, and in fact it is now rare for me to feel any level of discomfort there. The joints in my lower back feel as if they are more free moving – probably best described a ‘fluid’. I’m hopeful that this will deliver longer term benefits and reduce deterioration as well – so am very pleased indeed with the results.

I am 62 years old + have suffered from back pain off and on most of my adult life. The pain became quite debilitating during lock-down, probably exacerbated by reduced mobility. A recent X-Ray revealed that I have osteoarthritis in my spine + I decided to give MBST a try as I felt I had nothing to lose. My expectations were not particularly high but the results have been remarkable. My lower back was particularly fragile pre treatment with every step sending pain up my back + I was reduced to a slow shuffle. It has been a slow burner for me; I have been doing recommended exercises post treatment to help strengthen my muscles, some of which I could not manage initially, but my strength has grown and grown + I can now do these exercises and more. For the first few months, although the pain was a lot improved, I would still find that putting a step wrong would result in shooting pain. 6 months later and that is becoming less and less frequent. My back is still and probably always will be a little fragile but I am definitely a changed woman which my friends and family can see; pain shows in your face and my face was drawn pre treatment. I now feel lighter in body and spirit and can enjoy long walks again. The treatment itself is a walk in the park. The only negative side effects for me were feeling extremely tired part way through the treatment and a light headache but that aside it was very relaxing actually. It also encouraged me to drink more water which I have continued to do ever since. As Encompass stressed there are no guarantees but certainly, for me, the treatment has improved my quality of life and, as long as I maintain a good exercise regime, I am hopeful that will continue to be the case.
