What our members are saying
"I’m the healthiest I have been in over 20 years!
I joined the Healthy Living Programme to help with my Rheumatoid arthritis and the severe pain I was in. Michael performed multiple detailed assessments and we started working on an exercise, diet and lifestyle plan.
It's not easy giving up the food you normally eat until you realise that after only 2 weeks you can feel a difference. Then it's easy! Now I’m pain free and have never felt better. My wife and friends can't believe how good I look now. Would I recommend joining the Healthy Living Programme? Yes I would, wholeheartedly! Thank you Michael, Lisa and your fantastic team"
Ray
"I've lost 20 inches of body fat and gained an incredible boost in fitness and energy. Thanks to the tailored rehabilitation and exercise regimen in the Clarks Healthy Living Programme, my posture has significantly improved, which has not only alleviated my chronic headaches but also remarkably reduced my IBS symptoms.
Since starting the program, my overall health has strengthened—I haven't caught a single cough or cold, and I haven't missed a day of work due to illness. I am truly grateful for the dedicated team at Clarks Healthcare; I couldn't have achieved these life-changing results without their expert guidance and support"
Tina
"I was pushed into Clarks Healthcare in a wheelchair, I was in sheer agony. Three herniated discs and two reconstructed ankles spelled trouble and almost certainly major surgery.
But then Michael stepped in with a treatment plan that was nothing short of transformative—a comprehensive rehab, diet, and lifestyle program tailor-made for me. Fast forward, and not only did I avoid surgery entirely, but together, we've smashed a 12k nuclear run, tackling over 90 demanding obstacles, covered in mud and I loved every minute of it. Michael, you've literally turned my life around. All the credit goes to you, my friend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
Mark
"I love it here! I initially came to Clarks Healthcare for osteopathy treatment after an injury, and the care I received was so impactful that I decided to join their Healthy Living Programme to prepare for the army and improve my eating habits. They gave me a personalized diet and lifestyle plan just for me, and I train one-on-one in the studio twice a week.
The team has supported and coached me every step of the way. Thanks to their expert guidance, not only am I fitter and healthier, but I've also gained a tremendous amount of confidence in myself. I'm thrilled to say that I successfully passed the army fitness tests with confidence, feeling stronger and more prepared than ever!"
Annie
"After my stroke I lost my independence and confidence. It was daunting to be exercising but Michael and his team have been instrumental in my recovery. The results have been more than I could have hoped for. Not only have I seen a significant return of my strength, but my mobility and balance have also improved and I’ve got my confidence back.
What stood out for me was how everything is bespoke and tailored specifically to my needs. The exercises in their onsite studio are done one-to-one so I know I’m doing everything safely and correctly. The exercises challenge me but I really look forward to seeing the improvements each week.
Thank you for helping me get my life back, I’m deeply grateful for your kindness, support and encouragement"
John
"I have been living with Parkinson's Disease for twelve years and was often confined to a wheelchair. Determined to walk again, I was recommended to try Clarks Healthcare by a friend. Initially, I was very apprehensive, but there was no need for worry—the team explained everything clearly and ensured I fully understood each step of the process.
They tailored a diet and treatment plan specifically for me, taking into account my condition to ensure all exercise was safe and effective. I exercise in the studio twice per week under the careful supervision of their fantastic team, who make sure all movements are safe and catered to my needs with Parkinson’s. I'm proud to say that, with their help, I was able to walk one mile for a charity event. Michael promised they would help me walk again, and I did! Whatever your challenge, I am confident they will be able to help you too."
Jill
Michael's expertise in crafting a bespoke programme that addressed not just the risk of knee surgery but also the aftermath of my brain surgery was exactly what I needed. His holistic approach to my rehabilitation and lifestyle changes has been nothing short of miraculous.
I began with Osteopathy treatment and progressed onto the Healthy Living Programme. This was, without a doubt, the best decision I've ever made. It wasn't just about avoiding another surgery; it was about reclaiming my health and confidence. The programme, tailored to consider my medical history and overall health, has been a success on every front.
I was initially sceptical about overhauling my diet, especially given my fussy eating habits. But the healthy eating recipes Michael introduced me to have not only been delicious but something I genuinely look forward to. It's been a revelation to see how simple and enjoyable healthy eating can be, without feeling restricted or bored by the options available.
Training one-on-one in the onsite studio has become a highlight of my week. It keeps me motivated and ensures that my exercise routine is as enjoyable as it is beneficial. Each reassessment with Michael is an opportunity I eagerly anticipate, excited to see my 'health index' score improve and to share how much better I feel overall.
This journey has taught me invaluable lessons about health that extend beyond diet and exercise. Understanding the importance of sleep and stress management has been eye-opening. The regular meetings with Michael to review progress, set new goals, and adjust the plan as needed have provided a level of support I didn't know I needed but now wouldn't be without.
Saying that this experience has been life-changing doesn't quite do it justice. There are no tricks or fads here—just solid, evidence-based guidance that has led to real results. I've gained so much more than just physical health; I've built a confidence that recently saw me buying a new suit for a friend's wedding, feeling better about myself than I have in years.
To anyone considering making a change in their life, I cannot recommend Clarks Healthcare, and the Healthy Living Programme enough. It's not just an investment in your health; it's an investment in a happier, more fulfilling life. I've made this commitment to myself, and I will never go back to how I was before because I feel too good now. Thanks to Michael and the entire team"

"5 years ago I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. The medication was horrendous and made my hair fall out, made me really depressed and did nothing to stop my bleeding. I had no life, was housebound and very unhappy.
Luckily through a friend I was introduced to Michael and Lisa Clark - I decided to seek an alternative method to get my life back. I started working with them and this became the most important decision I have ever made.
We discussed everything that had happened to that point and because how ill I was he gave me a strict healthy diet and lifestyle plan. It was very hard to start with but as I was feeling so much better I kept at it. After a couple of months I did not want to go to the toilet constantly, the bleeding stopped completely and I came off the medication.
My next colonoscopy showed no colitis and my consultant was shocked at my recovery. I totally have my life back and am so grateful I found out about using diet, exercise and lifestyle to control this terrible disease. I now enjoy this healthier and happier lifestyle”
Rhoda
“I was breathless, had very high blood pressure, was diabetic and felt exhausted. I then had a fall, nothing major but I couldn't get up! Arms not strong enough to push, unable to roll over onto knees, muscles too weak. I was an embarrassed mess.
My family convinced me to have osteopathy and join the Healthy Living Programme. I was asked what I wanted to change and told how it could be done. I was tested in detail over a 1 ½ hour assessment. A lifestyle, nutrition and rehabilitation programme was designed for me which includes regular one-to-one training in their Studio for an hour each session all taught with great care and expertise.
My very high blood pressure is now normal and I'm no longer diabetic. My lung function is normal and I have lost 14 and a half inches of body fat so far. I am stronger, feel healthier, have energy, can physically do lots of things I couldn't before and feel miles more confident. Got my independence and my life back”
Lesley
"At the age of 73, having led a life marked by activity and vitality, I encountered an unexpected turn. Eight years ago, I was thrust into a series of debilitating episodes characterized by intense, unbearable pain. It was a challenge that seemed insurmountable, until I met Michael.
Michael's method was nothing short of enlightening. He adeptly pinpointed the root of my distress: a misaligned hip that had exerted undue pressure on my lower back's discs, leading to their rupture. His explanation was clear and the path to recovery, surprisingly straightforward. The progress I made was swift and noticeable, steering me towards a proactive stance on my health. I received Osteopathy treatment and then progressed onto 'The Healthy Living Programme'.
Embracing a new diet and lifestyle transformation, I ventured into training at the onsite studio. My prior experience with gym equipment was virtually non-existent, dating back to my school days, leaving me somewhat apprehensive. Many exercises felt insurmountable to master alone, making the personalized, one-on-one guidance invaluable.
The transformation has been profound. I feel rejuvenated, boasting health, strength, fitness, and resilience that eclipse my condition over the past 20 years. I now effortlessly engage in actions and activities once deemed impossible, often outperforming individuals years my junior—a fact that brings a secret smile to my face.
My perspective on 'formal exercise' has undergone a complete 180-degree turn. From scepticism to advocacy, I've become a staunch believer in its benefits. I'm not only living a healthier life but am also setting the foundation for a joyous, comfortable existence into my 90s—a prospect my parents' generation scarcely could have imagined.
A heartfelt thank you to Michael. While the effort was mine, the journey would have been unthinkable without his guidance, expertise, and support"

“I cannot recommend Clark’s and the training team enough!
I visited the practice barely able to walk and in excruciating pain. Michael was able to tell what was causing the problem straight away, and with treatment, was able to get me walking again and fairly pain free.
Having had 2 caesareans and suffering back pain ever since I decided to take Clark’s up on there training programme in order to correct my spine and completely fix the issues I was experiencing.
Within 13 WEEKS... 13WEEKS!!! I have managed to get my lumbar measurement from 67 degrees to a perfect 30 degrees! I am no longer in pain, I’m so impressed!! Along with the spine correction I have lost 22 inches off of my body and fat percentage has gone down considerably. I enjoy the healthy eating and no longer feel hungry and have more energy.
Best decision I have ever made!!! Anyone considering it should definitely go!"
Victoria
"I've been dealing with neck, shoulder, and back pain for over 40 years, thanks to too much time at my desk. Things hit rock bottom when a simple cough threw me into the most excruciating back pain ever. The extra strong painkillers my doctor gave me weren't touching the pain, and just getting out of bed or onto the train was becoming a nightmare. I was in so much pain every day, and it was only getting worse.
I was seriously starting to think surgery was my only option. However the consultant, while discussing surgery, suggested I see Michael Clark first. It was like being thrown a lifeline.
Michael was a revelation. He figured out the real issue which caused my severely herniated disc, sciatica and a twisted pelvis. He laid out a plan that made surgery seem avoidable.
True to his word, after starting Osteopathy treatment with Michael, I felt a bit better after each visit. It wasn't long before I was moving on to a rehabilitation programme that was just for me—complete with exercises in the clinic's studio and a healthy eating plan to help me shift some extra weight I'd been carrying around.
I won't lie, I was nervous about exercising after so many years, scared I'd make things worse. But the thought of avoiding surgery and maybe even losing weight was too good to pass up. I threw myself into it.
And what a difference it made. By the time I had my second reassessment with Michael, not only was I free from the pain that had plagued my neck, shoulders, and back, I had recovered to point that I no longer needed the surgery. Plus, I'd lost 2 stone and 23 inches of fat in the process!
The studio sessions with the lovely team are fantastic and I enjoy the healthy eating plan. I can't say enough good things about Michael. He's been professional, straightforward about what I needed, and just a great person to work with. I've felt comfortable and in good hands every step of the way.
So, a massive thank you to everyone at Clarks Healthcare. You've not just helped me avoid surgery; you've given me a new lease on life"

"I'm in my 90s and I truly love coming here. The Healthy Living Programme at Clarks Healthcare has made such a significant difference in my life. I exercise at the studio three times a week, and it's not only helped to keep my blood pressure under control, but it's also improved my walking immensely, keeping me out of a wheelchair and maintaining my independence.
The team at Clarks is always so attentive and ensures that all the exercises are tailored to my health needs and mobility issues. I can exercise safely, which is incredibly important at my age.
I'm profoundly grateful to Michael, Lisa, and their wonderful team for their dedication and care. Joining this programme has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay active and retain their health and mobility."
Irene
“After two caesarean's I wanted to get my body back in shape but safely.
The changes I made to my diet and lifestyle has given me so much more energy. I also look forward to exercising every week in the Studio, the trainers are great, really helpful and show me how to do the exercises safely and correctly.
I'm amazed at the results! I'm in the best shape I have ever been. I'm over the moon with my core strength especially and my posture which has improved massively, my body shape and health have definitely changed for the better!
Anyone reading this should join, it changed my life!”
Lauren
"I was involved in a severe road traffic accident that resulted in my back being broken in 12 places and my sternum being crushed. The combination of osteopathic treatments and one-on-one rehabilitation sessions through their studio Healthy Living Program has been incredible. Without their expert care and tailored rehabilitation plan, I truly believe I would be facing a life of disability. Their support has been amazing and invaluable in my recovery. They are the best in their field"
Roger
"I have been visiting osteopaths for the past 20 years due to persistent back problems, but it wasn't until I discovered Clarks that I truly felt understood and cared for. Their osteopathy treatment initially drew me in, highlighting their professionalism, kindness, and personalized approach. Encouraged by this positive experience, I decided to embark on their Healthy Living Programme. Facing personal trauma and various health issues, I was initially sceptical about starting exercise later in life, especially since I've always disliked it. However, the personalised exercise routines, stretching, and the incredible encouragement from Clarks' team have transformed me. Today, I am the fittest I have ever been, significantly trimmer, toned, and my back is much stronger, which has also greatly improved my mood. Michael is knowledgeable, and he and his friendly team addressed each issue with exceptional care. Their support, treatment, dietary advice, and the overall friendly but professional attitude are commendable. I cannot recommend Michael and his team enough for the remarkable changes they've helped me achieve. Thanks to everyone at Clarks for the new me!"
Lesley-Ann
"I've had an outstanding experience with the osteopath services here. Additionally, being part of the Healthy Living Programme has significantly improved my overall well-being. I can't recommend them highly enough—truly excellent in every way."
Brett
"Before joining Clarks Healthcare's Healthy Living Programme, I struggled significantly with severe back pain and stiffness, which affected my mobility and quality of life. The creaking noises every time I moved were a constant reminder of my condition. After being told I had severe degeneration from an X-ray, I was desperate for a solution. That's when I found Clarks Healthcare. Michael set up a tailored programme that not only addressed my acute back issues but also included a healthy eating and lifestyle plan. These manageable changes have greatly reduced my gout flare-ups and overall discomfort. I've seen various osteopaths and physiotherapists over the years, but the care and results I've received from Clarks Healthcare are unparalleled. I am truly impressed with the results and have never looked back. Coming here was the best decision I've made for my health. Well recommended!"
Julian
"I first saw Lisa at Clark’s Osteopathy around 15 years ago and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They nursed me back to health with a lot of different issues (due to a career in dance). I followed their holistic lifestyle coaching programme and also saw Lisa for treatment too. They’ve seen many of my family members and all have been impressed with what they do. If you want to be out of pain and to understand how to keep your body (and mind) healthy then I highly recommend them!"
Louise
"I joined Clarks Healthcare's Healthy Living Programme after struggling with high blood pressure, postural hypotension, and diabetes. Michael designed a tailored programme that was just the right intensity for me, focusing on improving my overall health and mobility. The one-on-one training in the studio not only helped enhance my mobility but also significantly boosted my confidence in managing my health conditions. Thanks to the dedicated attention and expert guidance, my blood pressure and blood sugar levels are better managed, and my episodes of postural hypotension have decreased markedly. I highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to improve their health in a supportive, personalized environment. Michael and the team at Clarks Healthcare have truly made a difference in my life."
Clive
“Can only echo the positive comments of others. I wish I had joined the Healthy Living Program sooner.”
Dave
"Joining the Healthy Living Programme at Clarks Healthcare has been a wonderful experience. It has helped me stay healthy and active, and I've noticed a real difference in my energy levels. Thanks to the programme, I'm able to do so much more at my church, which means a lot to me. It's truly been a positive change in my life."
Gillian
“The Healthy Living Programme at Clarks has been a life changer for me. The combination of healthy eating guidance and supervised one-on-one exercise sessions has made a huge difference in my life. I feel so much better—my stress levels are down, my mood has improved, and my digestion and energy levels are fantastic. It's brilliant and I recommend everything to join.”

“I first visited Clarks Osteopath after prolapsing a disk in my lower back. Following a frustrating experience with doctors who ultimately told me there wasn’t really anything that could be done, I sought a second opinion. After researching an overwhelming number of services promising help, I based my decision on location. It’s probably not the best way to decide, but I was lucky as it turned out to be the right decision for me. I completed treatments for the disk injury, and once I felt slightly more human again, I was advised that the best way to prevent the injury from recurring was to strengthen my core. So, after a consultation, I signed up for Clark’s Healthy Living Program. An initial assessment was carried out that looked at key areas impacting my health, such as sleep, diet, and hydration. From there, a personalized program was put together. With help and support provided in the studio, the hard work began. Three years on, I am still maintaining my core strength and have found the effort to have paid off, as my overall health is far better balanced. I would recommend Clark’s rehabilitation, but you must be committed to putting the work in to gain the benefits.”
Elaine Helm
“I always recommend Clarks Osteopath and Healthcare to family and friends. I have used their osteopathy, rehabilitation studio and well-being programme over several years.
Their knowledgeable and friendly staff have always helped me immensely and I found their exercise studio excellent for 1-2-1 programmes.
Michael Clark also gives very interesting health presentations, at the surgery, related to everyday general health and diet matters. These presentations are very well attended and Michael has a very enjoyable way of conveying his message across.
I recommend them 100%.”
Andrew Bailey
“I would highly recommend Clarks Osteopaths for excellent, effective and caring treatment. Michael and Lisa and their team are all very experienced and over the years I have had first class treatment to resolve sore and stiff neck, knee issues and sore lower back. In addition, I have been using their healthy lifestyle program using their gym on 1:1 with experienced trainer completing specific exercises designed exclusively for me to strengthen core and improve balance, all over movement and to undo the poor posture I had developed working in an office over the last 30 years.”
