This has been my first experience with Osteopathy and I didn't quite know what to expect. With a long line injuries, both major and minor, and being in chronic pain, I was ready to try something new. I noticed a difference from the very first session. David is amazing at helping relive pain and helping you to work towards longer term solutions. He takes every care in making sure you are understanding what he's doing and why. He never rushes you out or make you feel as if you are an inconvenience, like many people can do. I highly recommend visiting Soma, even if you just have headaches occasionally or a small back pain that you think will just go away on it's own. It could be a part of something larger and better to get it dealt with. I receive therapeutic massages form Claire - and am all the better for it. She works in conjunction with my Osteopath sessions and we ensure that each session helps me to reach my ultimate goals to improve various muscles and long term trauma. My last session alone has given me full range of motion in my neck again. She has a great personality and is very skilled at what she does, often sending you away with things you can do on your own to continue improving. All of the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and are willing to go that extra step to make sure your visits are comfortable and suited to your needs.

The set up of the doctors' surgeries within St Andrews is different to any I have seen before…read more While they all lie within one building, the building is comprised of three different practices. I have to say that, as far as the doctors themselves go, they are lovely people, extremely friendly and personable and really nice to meet and talk to. However, sometimes the reception staff can be a little short, and do not make the experience of going to visit the doctor any easier. Also, waiting times are often ridiculous. It is near impossible to get an appointment when you would like one, and when you do manage to get one, I have not waited for less than half an hour past my allotted time each time I have gone.

I was very impressed with the set up, knowledge, and treatment that Robbie administered. I've…read moresuffered with lower back problems for many years, and been to see various osteopaths and chiropractors but to no avail. Harmonic was recommended by a colleague, and after the initial consultation, it was clear that this was something different. My back is as good as new, and I haven't been troubled for some time. Robbie recommended monthly appointments, and to be free from pain, this is a price worth paying. Sore back...? Give this guy a go.

From the owner: what harmonic osteopathy does instantly is to reintroduce you to your body, to why it does what it…read moredoes, and to why it feels the way it does. Using rhythmic oscillatory movements we unlock habitual tensions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. It is osteopathy without the need for loud cracks or pops. . Passive motion, such as is used in harmonic techniques, is clinically proven to facilitate recovery from injury, improve healing and resolve pain. It is the number one clinical tool in the treatment of different musculoskeletal conditions.

Dr Stephen Feltblower!!!! If I can give any advice to anyone please stay away from this doctor (or…read morebutcher as I call him) went in with stabbing feeling in groin. I hadn't slept for 3 nights because of the pain, my testicle was swollen and raised. This doctor made it very clear that I was an inconvenience to his day, he man handed my testicle whilst I squirmed around the bed in pain, he told me there was nothing wrong with me and sent me out the door with antibiotics (which made no difference to my symptoms). I made an emergency appointment with my gp the following morning to be told that my testicle had swelt to a size larger than it was the previous week. My gp was so concerned she made an emergency appointment to get an ultrasound done on my testicles. I'm now 3 months down the line and still struggling with daily life. I made a complaint to nhs forth valley regarding this and the doctor in question has lied through his teeth in his response. We're meant to be able to feel safe and trust these people and after this I have no faith in the system in place. Its embarrassing enough to have to get your penis and testicles out for complete strangers but when your made to feel the way this doctor made me feel, when I should be able to trust him is absolutely shocking.

My boyfriend had sudden back pain which was severe. He could hardly walk or talk from the pain…read more Owing to the severity, we called a taxi to the Larbert Accident and Emergency. As we waited, there was a general atmosphere of being dissatisfied by the long wait time and lack of communication from staff whilst patients waited. My boyfriend had gone to the toilet when his name was called. I explained, but the staff member insisted on calling another patient's name immediately after. Annoyingly, it was a matter of seconds till my boyfriend returned. It wasn't long till my boyfriend's name was called again. We felt lucky because we had waited a relatively short time. However, he was in for minutes; the doctor had refused to look at him because it was back pain and they do not consider this an emergency. Surely, this is not a case of black and white, and there are cases when back pain is, one: severe, and two: a symptom of something more serious underlying. We'd paid £18 in taxi fares, and were sent away to the Stirling Minor Injury Unit for an appointment later that evening. We walked a mile to Larbert train station as we couldn't afford another taxi regardless of how much pain my boyfriend was in. To add to the confusion there's a sign in the Minor Injury Unit which states that they do NOT treat back pain. The doctor there assessed my boyfriend's ears, stomach and back after apologising; she assumed that they would have already done this all quickly at Larbert. This wasn't the case. - My boyfriend was only told there was nothing he could do for them. I think there definitely needs to be clearer guidelines as to which unit is appropriate for your circumstances. At the moment, the information currently available has the risk of getting you in a right pickle. And I can't think of much worse than being in a pickle when you're feeling poorly.

It's not what you want or able to deal with when you are ill and this is your first line of contact. Recently our family on several occasions have encountered the female Advanced Nurse Practitioner who is extremely abrupt, rude, constantly interrupts and very authoritative. She was very unwilling to prescribe anything on the last consultation, made a wrong diagnosis despite me telling her that my hospital consultants treatment plan for my conditions should be in my records, she eventually prescribed but it was the wrong drug. My conditioned worsened and I had to try see a GP but had to go through her first and experience the same abrupt, authoritative manner. Disgusting patient care when you are ill and know your own conditions better than any nurse who hasn't a clue on your complex conditions - top consultants are still trying to figure out my conditions but no, she knows better. This same Advanced Nurse Practitioner prescribed a drug for one of my very elderly family members who eventually had to have a home visit from a GP as she was so ill and the drug she prescribed should never have been prescribed as my family member has a heart condition. Scares me that this is the level of care at this practice and having to endure downright rude and abrupt frontline staff most of the time is disgusting, nothing short of vile when they are dealing with sick patients. My stress levels are already high due to family members health conditions and being a carer to two members of my family. This is not even considered despite it being marked on my records that I am a carer, absolutely zero empathy. If you try to explain your position or get upset, in my experience, there is no reaction, no empathy or help, even when on one occasion I was hyperventilating and had to go across to minor injuries for some help as 3 of the frontline staff just sat and watched me getting more and more distressed. They use and pull the Zero tolerance to abuse card if you are not happy (and not being abusive). AVOID this practice. Needless to say, our family changed practices.

I have only recently joined this practice but am already considering a move. To anyone else thinking of joining - don't!

She makes you feel very comfortable while she works, communicating with you about what she's finding and what is often the cause for that particular imbalance/etc. I've been seeing Clotilde on and off for years. I first went to her about a specific problem in relation to my neck. She gently worked with my joints/muscles/spine/pelvis and gave me a few stretches and exercises to work on. After only just a couple of sessions with her, I've been fine ever since. I saw her recently about pregnancy related pain. She has quite a lot of experience working with pregnant women and made sure the whole time that the bump and I were comfortable and supported while she worked. I left feeling quite a bit better with with firm instructions to NOT CROSS MY LEGS. I love practitioners who give you advice and exercises to ensure that the pain doesn't come back - in doing so they're actually creating a situation where you don't need to visit them repeatedly and it means that they're more interested in helping you to get better than making money.
