I went to them for my knee pain for the first time. Murray was very patient and helpful. He helped me to check my knee carefully, advised me how to do self-treatment and made a two-week practice programme for me. Highly recommend.

Was recommended Murray Collier by a friend after having some issues with my hip. I booked in for an hours sports massage with Didem. This was my first time getting a sports massage and Didem made me feel at ease and comfortable. I feel as though I was really listened to and my visit was tailored to me. I will definitely come back.

Very pleasant appointment with Murray Collier.
Went there with an issue on my knee and he was very professional and gentle finding out what was the problem. I had a great massage and an acupuncture treatment that was kind of weird and funny at the same time ( my first time doing acupuncture). Have some exercises to do at home and hopefully I will be in great shape again soon. Thank you so much for your help!!!!

I have been seeing Murray for a few years now . I remember on my first visit I was instantly taken aback by how detail he was in his assessment and analysis of the injury. With this information Murray was able to treat my injury effectively and build a rehabilitation plan for me. Murray's attention to detail , knowledge and well mannered nature is why I have been going to him for so long. Also why I refer all of my friends to see him.

Great first session with Tanja who helped with identifying exercises to help release the tension in my neck and shoulder. She followed up with helpful videos and explanations of the stretches. Plus the massage at the end was fantastic.

Murray Collier Clinic offers a great service and can help with a wide range of physical issues people need advice and treatment for. This is my second visit and in my case is was for deep tissue massage to help with my flexibility and tension I have problems with. I saw Tanja the first appointment and have also seen Maddy on my following appointment. Both were very professional, taking the time to chat and understand the main problems I was having and the treatment given was excellent. I would definitely recommend the clinic whether its for general well-being or a specific injury or issue as
