Ashleigh, though slight, must have been hiding forearms like Popeye under her uniform. She was more than able to beat the tension out of my calves and shoulders leaving me feeling great. She was also very good at allowing the conversation to ebb and flow, as some of the calf work was pretty tender and I didn't feel too chatty. The venue was easy to find, and was very comforting, the treatment room especially was lovely and warm (convenient when you are stripping down to your skivvies). It thought it was slightly on the expensive side for a sports massage when I booked, but in retrospect, it's perfectly priced, well worth the extra pennies.

I found my treatment with Emma Rose highly effective and deeply relaxing. I am a long term sufferer…read moreof Fybromyalgia and associated spinal pain. When my pain was at its worst I received treatments from Emma and I am so glad I did. The needling was very gentle, with minimal amount of needles and Moxibustion was also incorporated; this was heavenly and the warmth through the needle brought immediate relief. In addition to this I also received Reiki healing, which I loved and I found that this helped me greatly with my anxiety. I could actually 'feel' it working even though no touch was involved, so soothing. I am very impressed by Emmas approach to healing,she offers so much more than just accupuncture. Her treatments are tailored to the body as a whole, not just for specific areas. I gained so much more than relief from severe spinal pain, I also received unexpected and quite dramatic healing in other areas of my body which I never mentioned at my initial assessment. I think Emma is a very special healer as she really does care deeply for her patients, she is open and friendly, and puts you totally at ease. She is passionate about her work and she even took the time to explain aspects of her therapy to me, which were not only interesting, but also increased my understanding. I must also mention her clinic, which is very homely and relaxing, not only do you get to lie on the most amazingly comfortable therapy couch-complete with boob rest for ladies, you also get the chance to listen to beautiful relaxation music, your temperature is also carefully monitored and she takes care to ensure you are not too hot or cold. She even cleanses her hands before and after needling. I have gained enormous benefit from my treatments, not only great pain relief and increased mobility in my spine, but also with a reduction in my anxiety levels, relief from heart palpitations, much better quality sleep and relief from some of the many painful and distressing symptoms of a very complex condition. I love attending for treatment with Emma and I highly recommend her as the most professional, knowledgeable and caring therapist in her field. I feel privileged to have met her.

I also stay in the room, close by the patient throughout the treatment and also incorporate moxa and gua sha when indicated. Stems and Branches philosophy goes back to Huang Di, the Yellow Emperor who was credited with establishing the astrological system of 12 Heavenly Stems and 10 Earthly Branches in around 2736BC. This system not only gave rise to a style of acupuncture, but also the compass school of Feng Shui.

The centre is set in a house on a leafy road in Whalley Range just opposite the Spire hospital. It has a cozy rather than clinical feel to it I went for a 90 minute aromatherapy massage with Emma. The consultation was based around my muscular concerns and any aches or tension I had. Emma then asked what oils I wanted and whether I wanted relaxing, uplifting or a tension soothing oil mix. Oils blended the massage commenced with Emma working her magic on my lower back and shoulders, then thighs, calves and ankles ( I never knew that soooo much tension could exist in your ankles!) moving on to arms, neck, face and scalp. I came out feeling pleasantly relaxed and peaceful and at £48 for the treatment it was very reasonable. I've booked to go back again in 2 weeks time and may see if I can get a cheeky Indian head massage in in between. Would definitely recommend giving the centre a try it's good for your well being!

In the lead up and with the coronavirus situation, I contacted them several times to ask what would be happening with the course, with the possibility on pulling out, because I am in a high risk group for the virus. I received absolutely no response from the school and still haven't as of today (5th April). This is absolutely unacceptable. They have £550 of my money and have taken no responsibility for what is going on. I just hope that I can get the money back by going through my bank.

I won't attempt to explain or promote osteopathy, suffice to say the Jose Maria's city centre practice felt safe and competent. A thorough initial consultation and a clear explanation of his diagnostic using user friendly 3D graphics. The proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say and this practice enabled me to return to work and finally to be walking without sticks or wheelchair. Not a miracle but a professional clinical intervention in a safe, quiet and accessible environment. Private treatment is never cheap but at £45 a session (£35 concessions) it is very competitive and includes thorough guidance on exercise and rehabilitative activity. If you've not tried osteopathy before, here really is a great place to start. Friendly, reassuring and thorough.
