About me
Welcome to my website and my Clinic. I have been based in Newmarket since 2021 and am delighted with the loyal customers I have built up in that time.
The Clinic offers free parking and is based at the Lodge in the grounds of the Heathcourt Hotel, Moulton Road, CB8 8DY.
A practicing Clinician for over 18 years, I specialise in all aspects of physical therapy with verifiable success in the treatment of injury, pain, muscle damage, and postural problems.
I am a hands-on therapist with training in both traditional physical therapy, and a background in clinical study.
Most of my clients come to see me to address injuries or pain which are limiting their ability to move and perform their normal daily activity. I focus on the musculoskeletal system including muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints. I treat people of all ages.
My work has resulted in clients avoiding surgery, becoming pain free, recovering from injuries, and afforded them improved mobility and movement.
I pride myself on using my training and expertise to offer a unique service in manual therapy in Suffolk which has reaped great results over my career. Please see my customer reviews which afford an independent verification of success, over 80 5 star reviews – view reviews on Google)

In 2018 I gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Obesity and Weight Management (MSc) at the University of Chester, Department of Clinical Sciences, and in 2020 Post Graduate Certificate at the European School of Osteopathy. I regularly refresh my training and clinical study ongoing.

Edward Spetch2025-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Mike Bell Clinic for sports massage has been outstanding. Mike's commitment to understanding the root cause of any issue, starting with a comprehensive listen and precise diagnosis, sets him apart. His tailored treatments, which expertly combine massage and stretching, have brought about a significant and noticeable improvement in both my flexibility and overall mobility. It's been a truly positive and effective journey. Andy Bouskill2025-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Robert Lowe2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After months of tennis elbow developing into extreme shoulder pain, Mike was quick to find and resolve the problems. He was efficient and explained everything he was doing thoroughly. Highly recommended. alan brown (AlBI 1)2024-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Mike Bell about a month ago I had this problem in my collar bone area which was niggling me. This was my first visit and I was not disappointed, as previous reviews stated he has a warm demeana and listens to your problem. He then pinpointed the problem area and worked with deep massage and explaining what he was doing as he went along. He then advised me what not to do and what to do. So all has been well thanks to Mike can certainly recommend a visit . Chris Burton2024-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time visiting Mike this week and really impressed. Not only can you tell how knowledgeable Mike is but also, how caring. Taking time to work out the implications of the problem and how he can best help to solve the issue. Not only did it make improvements during the session but an extensive list of rehab exercises and must do's in the interim period. No hard sells, no treatment that isn't needed - just a great service that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. Kieran Sullivan2024-08-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited Mike Bell for the first time today and I am very happy with the result. Mike is very knowledgeable and thorough and his massage perfectly suited my needs. Highly reccomended. Sam Pert2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hurt my lower back weight training could hardly walk few minutes with Mike back on my feet again would highly recommend Thank you 👍
What I can do for YOU
Some clients come to me as they have developed tightness and restrictions in their bodies, resulting in a limited range of movement. I help such clients to release this tightness so that they can function better, be more at ease, and develop improved movement and health.

Some people need deep tissue massage and stretching in order to aid general maintenance, and people who exercise or work-out come to see me in order to improve recovery rates and function.
When clients see me for the first time. they can expect the following:
- A personal, confidential and professional service.
- A consultation to understand the problem/issue and any relevant history.
- Methodical and systematic testing to determine the main areas to focus on.
- Undertake the treatment; this will be addressed via manipulation, soft tissue and osteopathic techniques.
- Provide advice and information for post treatment support
Its always my aim that my clients leave feeling satisfied that they have been afforded a bespoke, individual and tailored treatment for their needs.
