Patrick Hoey ★★★★★ 2 weeks ago
Very friendly and warm experience. Greeted at the door of the … More first time appointment. Understood my needs and knowledgable. Worked on my areas that needed the most attention.
Felt like I knew Micheal for a long while, wouldn't have thought it was our first appointment. Have a great mutual interest in dogs, so instantly he was awesome. Definitely be returning in due course. Look forward to it to be honest. -
Leanne Ruddy ★★★★★ a month ago
Both me and my mum went to forget me knot for a back and shoulder … More massage. From start to finish the experience was nothing but professional, very informative and respectful of our needs. We was very comfortable and had a laugh along the way, the massage itself felt rough at times but this was very needed to loosen muscles. I have struggled walking for months with my sciatica, and I came out walking straight for a change, 3 days later I feel amazing and am now able to move freely and most importantly pain free, . This treatment is so worth it and would highly recommended to anyone of all ages as this can be tailored . -
shell T ★★★★★ 2 weeks ago
Absolutely fantastic and if I could give 6 stars I would! The … More communication before the appointment was clear and professional. Then from the moment I stepped through the door I was instantly put at ease and felt so relaxed and comfortable. During the treatment he explained everything and afterwards – I honestly feel pain free for the first time! Incredible service and one of the nicest men you will meet! Thank you, I am already looking forward to my next appointment! -

I had a full body massage with Michael last week, my first ever … More sports massage, as expected there were definitely some painful spots but Michael was great at helping me through it and assured me that if it was too much we would move on. He has a very friendly and comforting demeanor and I look forward to our upcoming sessions -
Robert Bould ★★★★★ 3 months ago
I had a back and shoulder massage, this was my first time. I … More can honestly say that I feel great after Michael worked his magic on me. I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be re-booking with him again. Highly professional and knowledgeable. Explained everything about what he was going to do. Really makes you feel relaxed and at ease. Awesome service, number 1 in my book. -

Yvonne had the pressotherapy session, really good for circulation … More and lymphatic drainage, Michael explained the treatment in full, felt improved circulation and skin tone with less cellulite, great treatment would definitely recommend. -
Mandy Sanderson ★★★★★ a month ago
Had my first professional massage today with forget me knot. … More I was very nervous prior to going in, but my husband had reviewed lots of local specialists and recommended we both try this one.
I have tight Achilles from previous injury and I suffer with tight shoulders and hoped that a good sports massage may go someway to alleviate the pain this causes me.
Upon arrival, Michael put me right at ease, discussing my requirements and talking me through what would happen.
It wasn’t long at all until I felt completely at ease and safe in his hands. I came away from the appointment feeling a lot lighter, with less stiffness and I will definitely be going back for another session, as will my husband who has written his own review separately. -
Reece Devonald ★★★★★ a month ago

Stewart Sanderson ★★★★★ a month ago
Having only ever had a relaxing massage in an overseas hotel … More which I just found ticklish and annoying, I decided to try this local massage company after finding them on social media by chance.
I do a lot of mountain biking and move weight four times a week inthe gym so tend to always have sore legs, shoulders and back, and have always wondered if a sports massage would be beneficial.
I booed and paid my deposit online which is simple, the set off over there on the day, a little tentative to say the least.
Michael is set up in a nice professional office building with easy parking and secure access, upon arrival we discussed my requirements and he sent me at ease very quickly. He is friendly, chatty and really professional, putting me at ease right away.
The massage was excellent, I can’t say it isn’t a little painful, because it is, and it’s supposed to be. He found various knots and tight muscles and took a good hour working his way through my entire body.
I left feeling a little younger and certainly more free moving. I feel so much better in fact that I am already working out what day I can get back there for another, deeper session! (He recommended we don’t go too deep for my first massage, plus I am riding tomorrow so need my legs!)
He does late nights a couple of nights a week which will be ideal to work around my job, bring on the next one!
(My wife went for an hour right after me and saw even better improvements but that’s for her to write a review about…) -

Craig Bamford ★★★★★ 2 months ago
Michael is very friendly, professional and clearly knows what … More he’s talking about. He targeted areas I mentioned beforehand, checked in during the massage to make sure I was comfortable and that what he was doing was having the desired effect. The massage is intense and really gets into the muscles but leaves you feeling much lighter and looser afterwards and as though a weight has been lifted from your body. -
Alexa ★★★★★ a month ago
My back was a bag of biscuits before seeing Michael for a back … More and shoulders massage. I left feeling normal again and without back pain. Michael listened to me and figured out where the problem, he made sure the level of pressure was okay for me and he is very knowledgable with muscles and bones. 100% will be back again and 100% would recommend to anyone. Thank you! -
Michelle Holt ★★★★★ 2 months ago
I’ve been searching for the last 5 years for someone who could … More deliver the kind of massage I’d previously enjoyed in Cyprus. At last my search is over.

as a dancer of 14 years who’s never had a massage before, it’s … More safe to say my back has actually never felt so relieved, walking into the studio i felt quite nervous but Michael was very welcoming and very chatty (which is good if you’re a socially awkward person like me 😂). 100% recommend, i will be coming back soon! -
Steve Valentine ★★★★★ 2 months ago
Went to forget me knot for the first time today. Feeling a little … More bit anxious before going in, but Micheal soon made me feel at ease. His massage technique is second to none, having quite a few health problems Michael was very understanding and knowledgeable, he was very considerate and careful always checking to see if I was ok. Great personality along side his 1st class work. Thank you so much Michael I will be returning. -

Amy Graves ★★★★★ 2 months ago
I had the worst knot/pain in my shoulders/neck for two weeks … More which kept moving around. It would wake me up in the night, and I tried rolling it against a ball and it was not going so I decided to book an appointment because it was only getting worse! Even after one treatment I feel brand new, it’s incredible! I’m going to book a follow-up appointment just to ensure I’m properly sorted, but I would keep here every time I need a massage moving forwards! -
Andrea Hissey ★★★★★ 2 months ago
Michael is a star, I have an extremely tight neck, with months … More of it getting tighter, the muscles are just an absolute thick mass, but after my first treatment it's slowly beginning to ease, I knew it would be hard to get it moving, but I can now move my neck, and my shoulders are freely moving, looking forward to my next visit. -

Thank you 😃 -
Sarah Hackney ★★★★★ 5 months ago
Michael made me feel at ease immediately and really listened … More when I explained why I was there. He has some real skill at finding and treating areas of my back and neck that a physiotherapist and osteopath haven't managed to get to despite several sessions including massage, manipulation, and acupuncture.
The treatment was amazing, a really deep tissue massage and cupping therapy which was an experience! I'm less tense and stiff than I've been in a very long time, it feels fantastic and I'll be booking again soon. -

BOE Print Studio ★★★★★ 5 months ago
I first heard about Forget Me Knot Massage when they picked up … More some printed leaflets from us at BOE, and Michael kindly recommended I book in for a session. I ended up having a neck and shoulder massage with cupping, and it was genuinely one of the best treatments I’ve had in a while. Professional, welcoming, and highly effective—I left feeling lighter, looser, and completely relaxed. Highly recommended! -

Kirsty Wright ★★★★★ 6 months ago
I recently had a therapeutic massage and cupping session with … More Michael after suffering from a frozen shoulder for a week, and I am beyond grateful for the results. The pain and stiffness had been making even the simplest movements difficult, but after just one session with Michael, I noticed a significant improvement.
Michael was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. He took the time to understand my condition and tailored the session to target the tightness and restricted movement in my shoulder. The combination of deep tissue massage and cupping helped release the tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility. While there were some tender areas during the treatment, the relief afterward was well worth it.
By the next day, I could already feel a difference—less stiffness, more mobility, and a noticeable reduction in pain. I highly recommend Michael to anyone struggling with muscle pain or mobility issues. His expertise and care truly make a difference! -
Louis Haddleton ★★★★★ 5 months ago

Michael has been a god send for my back!
I’ve always struggled … More with back pain and poor posture, and had recently pulled my back which led me to reach out based on recommendations.
My first massage in a very long time, so this was painful at first but the relief was instant! I’ve felt lighter, I’ve slept better, my stomach problems have been little to few and my back hasn’t got that painful twang I’m use too. I’ve already booked in for a second session as tension had been identified in my shoulder and will make it a point to continue going. Such a lovely atmosphere and a really great experience from beginning to end. Thank you again! -
Lewis G ★★★★★ 5 months ago
Fantastic experience and the solution to the pain I’ve been feeling … More for years!
I’ve had a lot of back and shoulder tensions, tenderness and pain for the past couple of years and no amount of regular, Thai or sports massage could fix it.
The deep sports massage with the combination of the cup treatment has allowed me to massively increase my range of movement and made my clicks and cracks almost fully disappear! Heavily recommend. -
declan Wilko ★★★★★ 6 months ago
First ever massage. Really friendly guy and talks you through … More every step and tells you what’s going to happen next and helps you understand the process.

Donna Jones ★★★★★ 5 months ago
Met Michael today for the 1st time, he took a comprehensive medical … More background including asking what medication I took, checked for any allergies and offered reassurance in respect of what to expect.
I walked in to clinic in my usual state of poor posture and widespread pain, my treatment was not not a one size fits all, as he progressed with his assessment his treatment and technique was dynamically adjusted for what I needed.
Once I walked out I honestly felt a foot taller ! I walked straight and at a good pace around the supermarket afterwards!
Just booked for a second session !
Thankyou to Forget me Knot 👍🏻 -
Emma Ramsay ★★★★★ 8 months ago

Wouldn’t recommend anyone else and I’m already booking again for a few weeks time!

Ross Metcalfe ★★★★★ 7 months ago
This is what you want from a sports massage.
Michael was thorough … More and informative all the way through the session. He made sure to ask for feedback after every stage of treatment so he could gauge how effective each part of the massage was.
As ever, sports massage can feel brutal at times but Michael made sure to let me know when the more intense parts were coming. (I'd never had my pectorals done before. Wow!)
All in all, a great experience. I'll definitely be back. -

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a massage session … More with Michael and I must say it was an absolute delight. From the moment I entered the tranquil atmosphere of his treatment room, I knew I was in for a treat. Michael's skill and strength were immediately apparent as he effortlessly worked on the knots in my shoulders. His firm pressure and techniques ensured every tense muscle was worked on. He had an extensive range of tools and techniques including the use of cupping which added an extra layer of bliss and relaxation. Michael is effective at what he does, he quickly identifies areas of tension and works on those with precision until sorted. I felt very comfortable throughout the session and Michael makes you feel so comfortable, he is so easy to talk to or if you wish to be quiet and just enjoy the blissful massage, then you can do so, whatever your preference. After the massage I slept like a log, felt more relaxed the next day and my tension in my shoulders eased, could feel my shoulders more flexible. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. His expertise, effective techniques and exceptional ability to make clients feel at ease set him apart as a top notch masseur. If you are in need of a therapeutic massage that goes beyond standard, Michael is the one to see. You won't be disappointed. Plus there is always lots of parking in the street, which is an added bonus. -

Sammie ★★★★★ 2 years ago
I was in such pain with a muscle knot in my back where my shoulder … More blade is, so I thought I would see how it goes having a sports therapy massage. Was very friendly and made me feel comfortable at all times. I was really anxious but helped me through it by putting me at ease. Very honest and can ask anything you wish also had aftercare provided. Following my treatment it was abit tender but honestly has helped me being able to move and twist better than I could before. It’s now couple days later and no tenderness around the area at all.
Highly recommend and very professional at all times. -

Jo Royle ★★★★★ 2 years ago
I recently went to Michael in desperation as I was in so much … More pain. I had tried so many things to try and get some relief and spent a lot of money. It was clear from the off that I was in knowledgeable hands. I learnt loads about why I was in pain and my own body. I think I'll need maybe another 1 or 2 treatments but the relief already has been amazing. I was a bit sore afterwards but Michael explained I would be and it soon went. Professional gentleman with an at ease vibe and great price. Highly recommended. Someone told me a good masseuse I'd worth their weight in gold and that is 100% true! -
Lauren Taylor ★★★★★ 2 years ago
Amazing service. Managed to fit me in on the same day. I couldn’t … More lift my arm without being in pain and wanting to cry when I arrived with Micheal.

I really cannot thank you enough! -
Jack Westbrook ★★★★★ 2 years ago
Michael has been awesome for my shoulder and neck pains. he even … More managed to quiet the loud 'clicks' and 'pops' in my shoulders when i rotate them, something I didn't think was possible.
The light bruising from cupping may be a shocker initially, but it fades, leaving you feeling great afterwards. Michael's approach to healing is personal and very effective, talked me through the painful moments too. A thumbs-up for this healer! 110% recommend for pain/tension relief! -

Frequently asked questions
Have questions? We have the answers!
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage can be an amazing way to take charge of your health and wellbeing. It’s not just a luxurious indulgence – it has tangible benefits!
Through pressing, rubbing, and manipulating the skin/muscles/tendons & ligaments different kinds of massage offer types that range from light stroking to deep pressure.
How often should I get a massage?
From relief of medical issues to stress-relieving relaxation, massage therapy can have a range of beneficial effects. Finding the right frequency and duration for you depends on your needs; consider whether it’s short sessions focused on addressing an issue or longer appointments just for pampering! Whichever type best suits you, be sure to discuss them with your therapist — We’ll help guide the process based on experience and research results so that you get maximum benefit from each session.
What types of massage are there?
Massage common types:
- Swedish massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping. It helps you feel relaxed and energized.
- Deep massage. This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s commonly used to help with muscle damage from injuries.
- Sports massage. This is similar to Swedish massage, but it’s geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
- Trigger point massage. This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.
What should I expect during a massage?
Taking time out and treating yourself should be luxurious, but if it’s your first professional full body massage that can seem daunting. Don’t worry – we’ve got advice on how to prepare plus an exact rundown of what happens during your treatment phase by phase. Click here to see our beginners guide to Massage Therapy!
What shall I wear to my appointment?
For your massage experience to be truly luxurious and enjoyable, we recommend you come prepared for some undressing. However don’t worry as this is a completely private affair! Your therapist will step out of the room while you get down to your underwear; cover up with soft towels which will help ensure optimal warmth during the treatment – The therapist will only expose what needs massaging.
Dress in loose clothing that’s easy to take off and on so not too much time is taken away from your precious therapy session.
To complete the relaxation package make sure those undergarments are comfortable ones-underpants must stay firmly on though out, please note I do not treat clients who wish to remain nude throughout their treatments.
What are some common misconceptions about massage?
Massage isn’t one-size-fits all. There are many types of massage modalities, each offered in its own unique way to best suit your needs and preferences! So don’t settle for just any old rubdown…find the perfect approach with a qualified therapist that you trust.
Forget the notion that massage is simply a luxury – it can have real and tangible rewards too! Massage therapy offers more than just pampering, with numerous positive effects on physical health.
A productive massage shouldn’t cause too much pain; a healthy range on the 1-10 scale is around 7. Any tenderness or discomfort felt after can be normal, but it’s not always an indicator that you had a good experience—keep your limits in mind!
