You can book in online via his easy booking tool. He offers free initial consultations where he will chat through options and give you an honest appraisal as to whether he thinks he can help you or not. Appointments are 30 mins but if he has no appointment after you he regularly works on to try and help you more and there is no extra charge. He creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can chat about just about any topic under the sun whilst he does the essential work that needs done to help you. If you are used to a really formal setting you may be taken by surprise, but for me the chilled atmosphere is a huge plus. His aim is to get rid of you (feeling better of course). Not a good business plan, but great for patients as you know he ain't just in it to keep you coming back for ever and ever like you hear from some other practitioners who always want to have you booked in again. Daniel Gerber..... osteopath, healing genius and all round good guy. If your in pain just now, you should give him a try.

I wasted over a year and £400 in search of an osteopath or chiropractor who would be able to help…read moreme manage the chronic pain I experience as the result of adolescent scoliosis made worse by a spinal infection that caused my vertebrae to crumble. No one came close until I walked into Daniel Gerber's treatment room. He knew exactly where the problem was almost without input from me and after only two sessions my pain began to disappear and my posture straightened noticeably. After a short period of regular appointments I moved onto maintenance sessions as and when I feel the need- sometimes several months apart. Back pain is a horrible experience - it makes you irritable and miserable, easily distracted and generally less able to cope with the day to day. Not any more! This man has changed my life!

In my former American life I was very active... ballet and pointe from a young age until my early…read more20s, then yoga, pilates, spinning, Muay Thai and kettlebells up to 5-6 times a week. Since moving to the UK, it seems to come in waves. Yoga has been the only calming force and constant. Over a month ago, Abi opened up her boutique studio near Strathbungo and Queens Park and I have been a fan ever since. Compared to impersonal big box gyms, Barbreck is intimate and unintimidating, while offering you the ability to challenge yourself. Kettlebells? Athletic strength and conditioning (Olympic lifting)? Bootcamp? Boxing? Metafit? Pick your poison, and step up to the challenge. Classes are small, and guaranteed individual attention; something that is lacking when you sign up for a class where they squeeze in 30 students! It's a challenging environment, but also friendly and encouraging. In addition to classes, I work with Abi during personal training sessions where she creates workouts geared towards my goals. Though I think I made the mistake of telling her I wanted to strengthen my core for yoga inversions and arm balances, and I'm now in a world of pain. To compliment the fitness side, Abi also offers sports and massage therapy which is housed next to the studio. From training, injury assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and therapy, is there anything Abi cannot do? Oh she's also part owner of the Scottish Kettlebell Club too ;-)

I have run various businesses throughout my life, and as time has gone on retaining staff has…read morebecome ever more difficult. In particular the long hours in front of computer screens or behind the wheel of delivery vehicles seems to have physically taken a toll on many of my staff. Having lost a lot of man hours to back pain related absences, employee stress and even one case of carpal tunnel syndrome, I decided it was time to call in the professionals. I decided to see if there was anything in this corporate massage I keep hearing about, but wishing to avoid being ripped off by some Johnny-Come-Lately company that might have just jumped on the bandwagon, I did my homework. The oldest company of this kind that I could find in Scotland had been established only three and a half years ago, which did not fill me with confidence. However, when I looked at their pedigree I realised that this one was a cut above the rest - Total Therapy Group, based in Central Glasgow and Edinburgh, seems to be the only company of its kind to have been taken on by the NHS itself - now, I have personal experience of how picky the NHS can be, and know they are NOT generally impressed by alternative health, but their references all checked out, so the company seemed to be off to a good start. Their other clients were fairly impressive too - the BBC, Scottish Health at Work and Edinburgh University to name a few. Next I had a look at their service offerings - no 5 minute neck rubs here - every one of their staff was a time served therapist who, between them, could give my employees everything from Reflexology to nutritional advice. Finally, what if one of my staff got injured? What level of insurance did these people have? Well apparently £3 million per therapist from their official regulating body the FHT. Good enough for me! So, I booked the company to come in and treat my staff - and what a good decision it turned out to be. Every therapist was a time served professional, with mental and physical healthcare knowledge to rival Jung or Grey. Not only were they able to treat each of my staff in the therapy of their choosing, they were able to follow each treatment up with personalised advice on what they could be doing in their general life to avoid encountering their respective health problems in the future. Upon my enquiry I was also given advice on good ergonomics companies who might be able to provide better seating and desks to keep my staff from further discomfort - at no point was the service upsold to me, and it was only when I specifically asked them that I was told they not only had a team of ergonomics experts, but a product line of furniture and a further team of high calibre physiotherapists to boot! Basically this company has turned my business' working environment around. I have happier staff, higher productivity and FAR fewer sick days. The whole thing has paid for itself many times over. Well done Total Therapy Group - you've changed this old cynic's mind about workplace massage!

Magic or miracle, I can't decide! Having hobbled with sciatica for a couple of weeks I finally made…read morean appointment with Max, who was recommended to me by my dad. As I was visiting my family for the weekend I thought it was pretty unlikely that Max would be able to take me on a Sunday and, even if he could, would be able to fit me in at such short notice. But he could and did! Max was very patient, knowledgable and friendly. He talked through my symptoms and gave me advice and homework. The massage itself was very thorough- about an hour long - and I immediately felt relief. A chill out, relaxing bath and a night's sleep later and I feel like a new woman! It was certainly worth every penny (£30 as at Nov 2013) and I'll be back next month so Max can sort out my stressed neck! Max the magician!

Burnbank Medical Centre has been my doctors since I was born. I've seen a change of venue and…read morechanges of doctors throughout my many years of my wee life. There are 4 GP partners at the practice including nurses. I believe because of Government changes the nurses will not be based at the surgery anymore and will be elsewhere in Hamilton. I did have my flu jag last month and it was still within the surgery, I will need to keep checking to find out. I've been here that often that even before I get to the counter the receptionist gives me a nod. They know me, too well me thinks. Eep! Och to be honest it is nice, they are friendly and it shows they know their clients. Ive always managed to get what I've needed from the doctors and been cured by their good advice and prescribed medication, the majority of the time. There is a couple of unusual things about this surgery. 1. They do have music playing in the waiting area but it plays through a phone on the wall. This also doubles up for the doctor to call you. The music is usually catered for the older generation and it's so muffled sounding, well it is playing through the speaker phone. 2. My doctor has a dog who lies underneath his desk. He has a reason and there's signs up saying why the dog is there, I can't remember why but it's all above board. It is quite nice when you see its wee nose poking under the desk giving your feet a wee sniff. Another couple of things to note is that you can only book an appointment on the day, so call at 8am to make sure you get one as they go quick. They changed it to this system to reduce the amount of missed appointments. Also the only open for a half day on Wednesdays as the afternoons as I believe it's the baby clinc. Apart from these unusual things it's a pretty good doctors.
