The Family Practice is like a Mecca for all those suffering from acute back pain. I have been there…read morein various states of agony and always found treatment constructive, thorough and sympathetic. The practice is run by a team of very experienced osteopaths who all have a slightly different approach to their craft. But all use structural and cranial techniques.

They offer a variety of treatment for sports injuries and employ several practitioners in complementary therapies from acupuncture and homeopathy to family counselling, reflexology and shiatsu. The excellent website has profiles on every practioner detailing their approaches and influences. And you can expect to be seen fairly promptly if you are in extreme pain. There is also a clinic on Saturday mornings.

A recurring neck problem means I normally need to go and see my osteopath once a year. Until I…read morestarted going to this practice, I always had a slight problem - not major, but never really sorted for long. This practice does charge around twice as much as others in the area - about £60 per treatment. However I always need one or two treatments and my problem is fixed for at least a year, whereas before I would have 6 or 7 treatments and get to a stage where I could cope for 6 months before going back again. This therefore works out more ecenomical in the long run. They are extremely well trained at this practice and take their time with you - often throwing in a free massage to help free up muscles etc. A nice friendly atmosphere - they don't take cards tho - only cash or cheque , often they have emergency appointments available if you phone first thing in the morning. I can thoroughly recomend this place.

Wow, I can only say life changing, I went to see Gareth after a few friends had recommended him…read more I've tried doctors and physio's had x-rays, mri etc. I've even seen a spinal surgeon. So i thought what have i got to lose and it was the best decision I've made. My bad back was not the problem it was the associated pain in my Hip, leg and dead foot. So I found exercise a chore and being overweight didnt help. I booked a package of sessions, where after two I'd already noticed a huge difference. I've now completed my treatment with Gareth and I can only say that he is a weird miracle worker, his methods seemed a little strange at first but as he works he explains everything as he go's along and all makes great sense. I now have no pain at all in my hip, I could barely stand for 15 mins and sometimes walking was excruciating. Now I've started to regain feeling in my foot, my calf is better than ever. I've been able to go running and I've lost 2 stone. I cant thank Gareth enough and several friends and family have now visited him for treatment, again with some amazing results.

I have recommended her to a number of friends and all have had excellent outcomes. Although I have not used the other services such as acupuncture, chiropody or Alexander Technique training, it is clear that Claire has put great care in building a team of caring experts in each discipline to maintain a consistently high standard. The clinic is warm, comfortable and friendly. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Here's what they do: Acupuncture Allergy Testing Aromatherapy Counselling Herbal Medicine Homeopathy Hypnotherapy Indian Head Massage Nutrition Osteomyology Reiki Reflexology Shiatsu Out of this list I have had a number of treatments for various conditions. Shiatsu is brilliant for rebalancing the system and correcting imbalances on a profound level as well as in a more obvious respect. It will cure aches and pains that emerge from an overuse of the body, but will also assist in improving more subtle conditions such as digestion. I have also received Acupuncture (great for pain of any kind), and Herbal Medicine for infections, sluggishness and even as a form of tropical medicine, (to rid me of parasites when I came back from India - this was precautionary rather than specifically needed as I wasn't showing any specific symptoms at the time).
