About Mick Smirthwaite
Sports Massage & Remedial Treatments Plymouth
Holistic Approach to treatments
Served for 18 years as a Royal Marine were I began to understand the meaning of fitness and an understanding of how our bodies work. Upon leaving the marines I wanted to put this knowledge to use in my second career, I trained with Mel Cash at the London School of Sports Massage, which I left with BTEC in Sports Massage with Credit and Kinesio Taping (K-Taping). I have always considered that an holistic approach to treatments is the best way to deal with the causes of the problem and not just the effect

Ivybridge AreaMick has saved my back and shoulders from terrible pain. My work means a lot of heavy carrying and often poor posture. He has helped me keep moving and keep working. He's also super professional and really cares about his work.

Plymouth AreaI've had 2 intermittent back issues for 18 years. I've seen several physios' but Mick is undoubtedly the one I'd recommend. He targeted the areas I needed looking at and gave me instant relief from a pull to my lower back. Thanks Mick.
