Patient 1
Cambridgeshire
read moreMichael Parr has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is always seeking to further that knowledge. Treating people with such a complex and often misunderstood illness - ME/CFS requires patience and understanding and a well-rounded treatment approach. I have been seeing Michael for about 10 months now and have been more than happy with his treatment. He uses the Perrin Technique, alongside osteopathy and rehabilitative exercises to give the best outcome possible. He also coaches you on ways to improve your general well-being and mental health, to compliment the treatment. I would highly recommend Elementary Health.
Patient 2
Cambridgeshire
read moreId heartily recommend anyone to see Michael of Elementary Health. He has helped me with back pain, neck tension, headaches and antenatal postural support. Hes also been instrumental with helping my 2 year old son work on physical development that he lacked from being a baby. Alongside our NHS physio treatment, Michael has supported us to correct his toe-waking and core deficiencies so hes running, skipping and climbing with his peers. Id recommend Michael to any parent to get their baby/toddler checked so you can give them the very best start.
Patient 3
Cambridgeshire
read moreMichael helped our son from about 7 months old to 11 months old as he was learning to crawl and walk. He gave us very helpful advice on motor development at this stage and showed us practical exercises we could do with him to help him develop his motor skills in a healthy way and to watch out for compensatory behaviours that can cause problems later in life. He was always gentle and kind with him and used toys and a play mat to interest him and keep him busy as we went through the exercises. I would definitely recommend him to parents looking for physio services for babies and young children particularly with a focus on motor skills.
Patient 4

read moreMichael is an outstanding professional and is at the top of his field.
After struggling with a debilitating injury, preventing me from running for around 8 months, having had regular physiotherapy and osteopathy at other practices at home, I made an appointment with Michael in Cambridge. I am now back to running, with no setbacks at all. Furthermore, he has corrected a profound curve in my back that I have had since childhood, which all professionals I had seen previously said was untreatable - in just two months!
Michael has a extensive and unique skillset, allowing him to diagnose complex conditions at their root cause, and create highly tailored rehab programs suited to the patient; far beyond what you might expect from a standard physio or osteopath.
As well as the comprehensive skillsets of physiotherapists and osteopaths, he has extensive training in dynamic neuromuscular stabilisation (DNS), a cutting-edge field at the forefront of physiotherapy; which applies current knowledge of the of the neuromuscular system, and its involvement in exercise and injury. Michael's extensive knowledge of neuroscience further allows him to apply this technique intuitively - with incredible results.

I have seen Michael various times over the years regarding various injuries/pain, he is very knowledgeable and always sets me on the path to rehabilitation while teaching me something about the functioning of my own body. He is also a lovely friendly guy, highly recommend!

Michael Parr has been helping me to recover from ME using the Perrin Technique. He has, over time, helped me to understand the self-massage routine and provided insight and motivation along the way. I've had incremental improvements over time which have added up to a significant difference. He treats with a high level of conscientiousness and respect for patients.

I have been using Elementary Health services for 10 years now, to manage pain and dysfunction caused by a modern lifestyle (sitting / desk working). For me, having treatment is effective in the prevention of chronic migraine. Michael is exceptional in his field and whilst committed to CPD, his intuitive understanding of the human body is singular.
I'm grateful to receive not only treatment, but prescription exercise to take away. Michael's approach is considerate and encouraging but no nonsense, he is an advocate for taking responsibility in the care of our own body.

Michael offers professional and hands-on care and clearly works hard to stay on the cutting edge of the most reliable research in the field. He listens and observes closely, then provides constructive strategies for strengthening and improving. My lower back has considerably improved since working with Elementary Health. Highly recommended.

Elementary Health has been a real find. I have now worked with Michael for about six months and my lower back problems have massively improved. Michael is an excellent coach and really knows how to get me progressing. I am very grateful for the improvements I have been able to make and would recommend Michael for anyone with Chronic back pain or other issues.

I've been going to the practice for over a year now and I have certainly seen an improvement in the areas that Michael has been treating. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and will always take the time to listen carefully before offering any advice about next steps. He will also do his best to ensure he is giving you the right treatment for your needs, even if these needs change. I would highly recommend.

I've been seeing Michael at elemental health for 10 months. I travel from Norwich to Cambridge for appointments as my health is worth the cost and effort. He has been treating me for CFS/ME and I'm well on the way to being very much improved. We work as a team effort. He provides me with Perrins Technique lymphatic drainage and osteopathic manipulations and then gives me recommendations and exercises to do at home.
I do my exercises, and self massage every day to get the best from his treatments. I have found Michael easy to work with as he is kind, sympathetic but expects me to do my bit! I've made lots of lifestyle changes to increase my health and Michael is intrinsic in my improvements. I thoughly recommend him.

Don't hesitate to see Michael at Elementary Health. I've been seeing him on and off for several years, mainly for core strengthening, but having shielded through lockdowns I became more physically weak. 4 months ago saw Michael again and started with strengthening exercises. I have several joint replacements, fibromyalgia, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, developed scoliosis in several parts of my spine and this year a nerve in my spine became trapped causing pain and numbness.
At my next appointment Michael suggested an MRI scan of my spine which my Rheumatology team organised for me and I forwarded the report, which showed the cause, to Michael. My exercises now are designed to support my whole body and straighten my spine. In addition to pain scoliosis caused a 2 inch height loss which I am now regaining at the age of 68! Michael's knowledge of the body is phenomenal, he is always professional but friendly and easy to talk to. Treatment is designed specifically for the problems of each patient, no 'one fits all'. I highly recommend him.

If you are disappointed and frustrated for having constant pain, despite of visiting numerous professionals, this is the place to go. After 24 years of back pain, the solid improvement I have experienced after seeing Michael is considerable. The treatment does not go without challenging exercises sometimes, however, following Michael Parr's advice and treatment have been the best gift to myself in one of the hardest year of all.

Michael Parr is an excellent Osteopath. I have been having treatments from Osteopaths for up to 30 years and Michael is in the top of his class. I really feel that the specific exercises Michael is working on with me to stop the progress of my scoliosis will be beneficial. It was amazing to me to see the photos that Michael takes while I am holding a specific pose that greatly corrects my scoliosis. My spine hasn't looked that straight in years! The goal is that in time, with on-going practice and work my curve will improve.

Michael is an excellent professional, very knowledgeable. He puts his interest in what you explain about the reasons that leads you to his consultation and applies the treatment accordingly, with great dedication, delicacy and efficiency. Highly recommended, I have noticed improvements since the first session.

I warmly recommend Michael. After years of chronic fatigue and health problems, my health is finally improving thanks to Michael's help, using the Perrin Technique. In addition to treating me, he has helped me doing the right changes in my lifestyle to get better. He has suggested things, without imposing them, and always explaining why. I really appreciate that. The Perrin Technique is a major time and money investment, but it is definitely worth it under Michael's care.

I cannot rate Michael highly enough. I've been going to see him for four years to be treated for ME using the Perrin technique. I have recommended him to friends who suffer from ME or other problems which can be solved using osteopathy with absolutely no hesitation. Michael is professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and very patient. I am also a patient of Dr Perrin - the man who developed the Perrin Technique - and I can confirm that Michael's treatment is of the same standard

I would definitely recommend Michael. He has been helping me with a lower back issue since December 2018, He started with an in depth assessment and since then has taught me various exercises to improve and strengthen my core, which has greatly reduced my back pain. In each session he is patient and very clear in his instructions in how to do the exercises. I feel at ease with him, he has a very professional manner and has built my confidence to manage my back health.

I've suffered with M.E. for over five years now. I've tried many other therapies including acupuncture, reflexology, homeopathy, etc but nothing has helped - until I started being treated a year ago by Michael using 'The Perrin Technique' and I'm finally seeing positive results. Michael has great expertise with M.E. and is adept at explaining the condition and how the technique helps. He has a holistic approach to his treatment and so when a long standing leg/hip problem

Michael is very patiently helping me overcome a number of pain issues relating to poor muscle stability through both hands-on intervention and showing me how to use exercises to improve my core. His holistic practise is refreshing and highly effective, he's hugely professional and knowledgeable and I'd thoroughly recommend him.

I have over 30 years experience of Osteopath treatments and support for my back. Michael is up with the best for his knowledge/skills, hands on therapy and his holistic approach to using exercise therapy to develop understanding and prevent future problems. Glad I found him and would recommend his services and approach for both acute pain relief and addressing more complex long term back problems.

Michael has been essential in my recovery from a sports injury to the hip. Starting with a very comprehensive initial assessment, he is able to diagnose complex conditions and set a plan of exercises to progressively get you back to the activities you love. Three months of training have provided striking improvements. I'm back to hiking, swimming and cycling. Definitely recommend Michael.

Michael is an exceptional Oestopath and has helped me with a long standing back issue. Giving me a full in-depth diagnosis of what I done and why I was getting pain, and how we are going to sort this. The attention to detail has been key to my rehab along with the specific rehab exercises. Thank you

Michael is an amazing, knowledgeable and talented osteopath. I went to see him in agony for the pain I had in my back, and left the clinic walking as a new man. His professionalism, caring and passion in what he does, makes him not one of the best, but the best there is. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
Chris Sendall
Aug 09, 2017
The difference with my experience with Michael compared with the variety of different services that I have used over the years is that I have I gained confidence in my back and my ability to fix myself. The basic treatment is excellent and I leave the clinic feeling like a new person. In addition the explanations about back care and the exercises that he has taught me have changed the way I view my back problems. The sessions do not seem rushed and Michael has time to explain the intricacies of the exercises that he patiently teaches me.

Michael is one of the good guys. Professionalism and understanding underpin his exceptional osteopathic talents. His holistic approach helped deal with the lung congestion I contracted every winter by freeing up my chest cavity; and has helped improve my core muscles and posture to recover from a condition which hit me six years ago. Highly recommended. His use of the Perrin technique also helped my wife combat ME and get her life back. Thanks Michael.

I started out with an odd noise/movement my lower back was making about a year ago and a friend recommended Michael. With his unique and wonderful way of working, he released my back and re-activated my core through a series of exercises that increasingly challenged my ability upwards. All it took was a few moments every day (or every other day) and the difference was amazing. I wholeheartedly recommended Michael a whole bunch of friends and family, and will continue do so!

I have had regular Osteopathy appointments with Michael, from Elementary Health, for a number of years following my first appointment after my lower back seized up. After my first appointment Michael implemented a gradual increase in time between appointments and I now see him every three months for what I call my "back maintenance." It is hard to put into words the complete service Michael offers as he certainly doesn't stop at only carrying out my "back maintenance".
He is very forthcoming with suggesting suitable strengthening and stability exercises and will offer advice and interesting discussion about the body and how it works. His knowledge in all of these areas is extremely competent and he clearly has a great desire to improve his own personal knowledge through external training. Michaels manner during appointments is as good as it gets.
I have never felt uncomfortable during an appointment and can imagine that he adapts this manner accordingly for each of his clients. If I was asked to recommend an Osteopath Michael would come very highly recommended.

I initally saw Michael by default because my then oesteopath was full and i was in back crisis. I have been seeing Mihael ever since. Michale has a recovery approach, he sets me homework so i can improve my problem in between appointmetns. I have had ongoing problems with my neck but after my pregnancy i lost all the strength and stabilty in my inner core, which lead to lower back problems and my pelvis was sat at a funny angle. He has helped me to understand my problems

I had lower back pain for almost 2 years after an injury from deadlifting with bad technique. I had been treated by another osteopath with no improvement. Then on recommendation from a friend I saw Michael. Previously I had experienced bad pain during the night that would sometimes keep me awake but after my first appointment I had complete relief for about a month. Just two more appointments and my back pain was gone completely. Would highly recommend Michael!

I have been treated for my ME by Michael for 6 years. His use of the Perrin Technique has transformed my life - to the extent that I have gone from having a very limited quality of life to now being able to enjoy a good social life and have even been able to have a baby daughter. This is something I know would never have been possible with the energy levels I had before my treatment started. I can't say how grateful I am for the gift of being able to have and look after my

I started seeing Michael due to my ME/CFS and back problems. I see him regularly and keep in contact via emails between this.

I feel that since my first visit, Michael has helped me improve at lot.
Emilia Benjamin

I see Michael regularly as a musician who needs to keep in working order and he is extremely competent, knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He will always try a different technique if he can't get the bones to click, to avoid causing pain or injury. He has also given me a number of physiotherapy exercises to build up my strength which is very useful. He will often go overtime if he needs to and is always courteous. I highly recommend him.

As someone with regular pain and fibromyalgia, I can highly recommend Elementary Health and Michael Parr. For over 10 years I visited numerous physios, osteopaths, sports therapists and everything in-between with no long-term improvement or development. Suffering with neck, shoulder, upper and lower back pain I would usually visit a practitioner once or twice a week while problems were acute. Since meeting Michael some 6 years ago, my visits are now once or twice every three

I am a triathlete and have completed a couple of Ironman races. I highly recommend Michael as a part of any training plan. He is an excellent osteopath with a detailed knowledge of how the body works. Not only is he able to unlock the inevitable kinks that occur during training, but he will also guide you through a set of exercises to build strength/stability that improve performance and reduce the chance of problems recurring.

Michael has helped me more with my condition (ME/ CFS) and recovery than any doctor has. I was fortunate enough to have met Michael when I was at my worst with my illness and his professionalism and expertise not only helped me diagnose my condition, but also gave me a true understanding of the illness and its various physical symptoms. He was a great help at a time of real uncertainty and made me feel like I wasn't alone with the illness. Michael has a wealth of knowledge

I've employed the services of Osteopaths on and off for over 30 years. Michael Parr is certainly one of the best: he is very professional, and extremely effective. Michael strikes the perfect balance between massage, physical manipulation, and restorative exercises. I no longer see him as just someone to turn to when I have acute pain (although I do turn to him in those situations!), but as a trusted adviser and coach, helping me move on to the next physical target that I
Viktorija Sarkane
I spent thousands of pounds at private clinics and doctors but no one could help me. I was introduced to Michael at Elementary Health about four years ago, Michael has been the only person able to diagnose my condition and help me with my various physical problems. Michael is very professional and has immense knowledge and he is able to answer all my questions. I am very happy to find such a professional person who can help me so much that I do not mind traveling from London
