A framework for exercises to relieve back pain

We’ve created a framework of knowledge for our members Premium & Basic alike. This way you’ll learn why these exercises are chosen & why they help your back heal.

Mistakes People Make When Choosing Exercises To Relieve Back Pain

We’ve been helping patients for long enough to see that people make the same errors over and over again when it comes to trying to exercise or stretch from home to relieve their back pain. This is why we created the Back In Shape Program. To filter through the misinformation and base a back relief exercise program on our experience treating patients with back pain.

Long Term Exercises For Back Pain

It’s important for you to have a more broad approach to relieving your back pain. The exercises you need to do in crisis need to be very different from those you do for the medium and long term. The reason for this is simple. The initial exercises you do help with the healing. The exercises you do in the medium to long term help build resilience and resistance to future injury.

The Focus Is Different – So Is The Outcome

Why Did We Create This Breakthrough Protocol

We realised that there is just too much information out there for people to digest. Our Membership site was our way of becoming more accessible to more people, helping you avoid falling into the same traps that patients we see have fallen into time and time again.

We’ve even made the essential Basic membership free for everyone! So at the very least you can start getting you back in shape with no cost. All the information is there for you to follow at home.

We have the Premium membership which comes with tones more benefits and information to help you from day 1 with a much more interactive approach. But compared with the Initial Consultation Price of £250 it is hugely valuable. The Premium membership is a very affordable £15/month.

What People Say About Us.

This is Michelle not Lynn. The treatment I’ve had at the Mayfair clinic has been wonderful. I was in constant pain hbefore and constantly taking painkillers, but now I go days without taking any painkillers at all, and then only one or two. I can lift my grandchildren, play on the floor with them, walk for hours and my sciatica scarcely impacts on my everyday life any more.

I've been struggling with back issues for 10 years and I've seen dozen of specialists, the Mayfair team was by far the most professional and effective, their treatment is very different that what you usually get and they do care about the patients deeply. Highly recommended!

I have been very impressed with the care and attention I have received from Michael, Joe, Lara and Kerryn at the Mayfair Clinic. I believe that this clinic is at the forefront of holistic care for people suffering from back pain. As well as their hands on approach to the patient they also require the patient to be proactive in taking part in a personal and gentle exercise programme.

Michael and his team are very professional, competent and friendly. After years of misinformation, they have now set me on the path to recovery. Highly recommend the Mayfair Clinic

Incredible experience of reducing the root causes of my back pain and patient care:I had back pain all my life, and faced a particular bad episode of back pain since 6 month when I came to the Mayfair clinic. I wasn't able to bend forwards and in constant pain. Not only did Michael reduce this to almost zero pain in just a few weeks, but he also helped me to adjust my exercise routine to my spine and back condition. I couldn't recommend it enough - an investment that really pays out!

How can you get away from a terrible lower back pain without surgery?. Try "Mayfair Clinic".. I'm a living example. I was told by my Surgeon that the only option is to get me under his knives which i refused.My inner mind keep telling me "there should be another option than surgery, then my work colleague gave my MAYFAIR CLINIC telephone number off chance.Believe it friends, Miracles still happen.The healing process is slow but significantly improved. Just follow the exercise procedures.Mayfair Clinic is God sent when I needed it most.

I will advise anyone with back pain to visit the Mayfair Clinic to -at the minimum- undertake the digital x-ray analysis with Michael before considering further treatment.His insightful analysis gives a comprehensive diagnosis which is easy to understand, and the recommended course of treatment shows a measurable and attainable target.

Stellar treatment. Michael was able to effectively diagnose my issue and gave me some new insights into the root causes that I had never considered or had ever even been raised in the past from previous visits to other clinics. In my consultation I was not only treated but given a comprehensive understanding of my ailment and excellent advice on how to not only self-remedy my current issue at but also ways I could improve other aspects of my posture/alignment. Highly recommend a visit to the Mayfair Clinic.

Over the past few weeks, I have been receiving treatment at the Mayfair clinic. Although I’ve not suffered long term back pain, the knowledge, care and attention provided by both Mike and Joe has been excellent. The fact that they seek to find the root cause of the problem makes complete sense & enables a suitable course of treatment, specific to the problem, to be diagnosed. The treatment provided, along with advice on suitable exercises to alleviate and eventually rectify my problem, has been invaluable. I highly recommend them.

If you have a neck, spine, back problem then you need to check these guys out. My 84 year old mum had acute lower back pain, to the point that getting out of bed was getting difficult and she wasn’t leaving the house very often. Within a month and only 6 sessions, the Mayfair Clinic has given my mum her life back, and my happy go getting mum back to me. We are both so grateful and I totally recommend them from the consultation, to same day diagnoses to treatment. I now know there is no longer the need to put up with back pain, and help is here.

After 3 years of lower back pain/discomfort which significantly affected my everyday life, 5 different physiotherapists, ostopaths, and orthopedics imaging tests, ending up feeling depressed and losing all hope there can be better days for me (although I am only 40!), I have finally found Michael and his team. The things I have learnt here and they approach have fist of all helped me finally understand the root of my condition which has been instumental in motivating me to follow the programme. This is very different to every other clinic. Their approach varies by patient and is based on pure science and years of experience. They are true professionals and will put a lot of effort until you actually see results. Yes you might need to work hard and be patient as I did, but I am now getting better and stronger and its all because of Mayfair Clinic. They are totally worth it I can guarantee this.

Big thanks to the Mayfair Clinic team. I was sceptical at the start because of previously being let down by other clinics who only thought about the short term pain prevention. My back was in horrific pain after a bad accident and i tried all types of rehab and clinics before. After 6-8 weeks of weekly sessions with Mayfair Clinic i started to notice improvement and now able to live a normal life without chronic pain. They have all the tools and knowledge, so if you follow their steps they can help you! Highly recommend.

If you have any neck/back problem, these folks are the best in London when it comes to help. (I tried several clinics before the Mayfair C).I would also recommend the Mayfair Clinic to any athlete (amateur, semi or pro) with neck/back trauma/injuries - They truly helped with my neck getting back to a more healthy curve (post disc-herniation) and realized that posture is truly key!Thank you Michael & The team

I’ve had an excellent experience with The Mayfair Clinic. I suffered from bulging disc in L5 S1 region and bad sciatica related pain. After almost 2 years of experimenting with different treatments (I had 3 corticosteroid injections, acupuncture, chiropractic…) nothing really helped. By the time I came to TMC I could barely walk because of the pain. After a few treatments pain was already more bearable and around week 6 it completely disappeared. They ran very professional and very detailed diagnosis first. On top of the in-clinic treatment they also tailored a list of exercises for me and I started using the Denneroll after a few weeks which helped a lot. I think that exercises and Denneroll were equally, if not more important, so stick to them. The whole team seems very knowledgeable on this topic (much more than any other doctors I came across in the process). They are also very welcoming and kind and you really get a 5* treatment. I normally used HCA (mostly London Bridge Hospital) before that, and TMC treatment was so much better on every level. Great experience with both Joe and Michael with treatments. Lara and Kerryn very also very helpful with scheduling and logistics. Again, I highly recommend them especially for somebody who has disc/sciatica issues.

These guys are simply amazing!!!I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my back or any other problems I may incur due to day to day occupation.Ive already referred 4 people to the Mayfair clinic including my mother and he’s managed to work his wonders on all of them.None of them are suffering from the problems they initially went in for.This place is truly amazing. Their knowledge is second to none.Keep up the amazing work guys!!

Came into the clinic with a really painful lower back due to a twinge in the gym. Had fantastic treatment from the friendly staff and my back is a lot better already! Would recommend to anyone suffering from back pain - 5 stars

A very friendly and welcoming environment, treatments well worth your money because they got me to walk on me own again without the help of crutches... having used them for 2yrs. Couldn’t be more happier I’ve got my independence back🤗 Thanks sooo much to everyone

I have been suffering with lower back pain for a while but since the lockdown the pain and discomfort got worse. I arranged an MRI scan and then had a video consultation with Mike at The Mayfair Clinic. He went through all my MRI scans thoroughly and started a rehab program. Since then, I have been following the advice and exercising regularly. I've already started seeing improvements in my posture and feeling much better. Highly recommended.

Great service, rescued me from excruciating pain after herniating a disc. Helped me avoid making common mistakes and provided a clear, easy to follow three month progressive physio routine that has helped me recover. Highly recommended!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Michael for giving me the confidence to continue with the stretching programme. I have always had pain following any form of back stretching and strengthening exercises, but having followed Michael's programme and not quitting when I had some pain, I am now finally coming out the other side and hopefully on the way to being stronger and pain free. It is still early days, but I now believe I can strength build. The wealth of knowledge and professional approach make the Mayfair clinic a really positive experience, even during these difficult times when we can't have face to face consultations the on-line appointments and webcasts are so helpful.

I've really benefitted from this programme. At the outset I could hardly put my socks on without grimacing. Now I'm moving around easily and have just come back from a 7 mile bike ride - including some scarily hairy off-road bits! The exercises are simple, brilliantly well explained and gentle. The daily live sessions are amazing, but there's also great stuff on the members' site. And the customer service is outstanding. If you have any kind of query, Lara gets straight back to you and has it sorted for you straight away.

I am so grateful to have found this website online it has been brilliant. I feel that the amount of free advice & guidance is really commendable and I was grateful to be able to sign up for this. The demonstrations of the different exercises was particularly useful. I did sign up to premium as wanted to advance to phase 2 & 3 which I have found invaluable. Overall it just gave me the confidence to do exercise that wasn't going to make things worse. I have suffered with upper back pain for many years but have made a huge amount of progress since following the guidance. You have to put the effort in though & it is pretty time consuming. Michael & Lara have been super helpful throughout. Would highly recommend to others.

I really appreciated the clinics "back in shape" program over lockdown. Michael is always available for advice (very dedicated) + there are regular additional videos/livestreams as well as the exercise program and access to the community, and all for a rather moderate amount per month. I'd recommend - they're London based, but supportive even if you have not been able to access physical services!

I’ve found the back in shape program very helpful. My lower back got so bad I was struggling to pick up my very cuddly toddler, some days struggling to walk. The back in shape course has helped sort my back out and strengthen my core muscles. I rubbish at sticking with anything. It took me a few attempts to stick to the routine but once I got it I loved doing the daily exercises. It’s given me a boost in exercise confidence and I’m proud of myself for my achievements.

Michael will listen to everything you have to say about your pain in your initial consultation and will explain to you in the clearest way possible what the underlying issue of your pain is and how to fix your alignment to allow healing. He places a lot of importance to each patient and doesn't just give you generic answers/advice. The Back In Shape program gave me the guidance I needed to get my back stronger and general mobility back in shape as previously I had to search on YouTube for exercises that were making the initial problem worse without me knowing (Michael explains why this is). The Back In Shape program gets rid of contradictory advice on the internet and they are the safest exercises I've ever done and eventually doable for anyone and the more you do them, the more pain-free you become. It is very easy to communicate with Michael outside of the clinic in the Back In Shape facebook group where you can ask questions on the go. The treatments in the clinic are very safe and very effective.
