Elementary Health

I am really grateful for Michael’s help. Been struggling with severe neck/back pain for almost two years, which always seemed to come back no matter what I did, and it seems like I have finally found the right solution. Just from three sessions I saw great improvements, as Michael not only provides osteopathic manipulations, but teaches me simple, but effective exercises which I then continue doing at home. They train my body and brain to eventually remember the correct posture, which makes the pain go away without depending on professionals all the time, and I really like that about Michael’s approach. I also really appreciate the fact that even out of sessions I can reach out if I need to, ask questions to make sure I am doing the exercises right, and Michael always provides very informative and helpful feedback. He is really friendly and approachable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services.

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.

Michael 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.

I have been seeing Michael for over a year now for the Perrin technique. I am particularly pleased with the comprehensive service received. Michael has gone above and beyond my initial expectations. Offering professional, hands-on care, he clearly works hard to stay on top of the cutting edge and the most reliable research in the field. He listens and observes closely, then provides constructive strategies for strengthening and improving. My fatigue, general and structural health has greatly improved since being a patient at Elementary Health. Highly recommended.

Michael has worked wonders on my frozen shoulder. This is my second frozen shoulder, my left shoulder took almost two years to return to full mobility. When my right shoulder became frozen, in desperation I came to see Michael. After an initial assessment to see that there was no physical damage, he started to work on rebalancing my body. After just a few appointments, I already have so much more mobility and less pain than I did previously. Michael’s intelligence, attention to detail and holistic approach to the condition has given me real hope of achieving full mobility and no pain in half the time it took with my other shoulder. He is really inspiring. This is my first ever review, but I had to say how great Michael is--I thoroughly recommend him. Don't suffer. Go see him.

Dr. Parr helped my baby with just 3 appointments. I'm very happy for the service, recommend to every parents with baby and children issues. Dr. Parr has a wealth of knowledge and take great care of his 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.

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.

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.

Michael is extremely knowledgeable about the body, it's functions, and how other forms of exercise and prevention can assist you alongside your main treatment.I have been coming to Michael for Perrin technique for over a year. When I began I was extremely fatigued with a post-viral syndrome (CFS). I was able to work 1-2 days a week which had severely impacted my freedom, opportunities and financial health.I am now able to work three days a week, alongside running a photography business and the odd social event. My life is better in every aspect since committing to treatment. I feel more informed about my body and how to nurture it, which has allowed me to escape falling prey to a victim mentality.Michael is professional, informed, amiable and passionate. He is always open to discussing a more holistic approach to treatment, as well as guiding me on questions I have about lifestyle/health fads that seem to pop up regarding CFS. The clinic and his approach has always been calm, caring and patient focused. I look forward to making even more progress.
