Testimonials

I have always suffered from headaches, regularly resorting to over-the-counter and prescribed pain relief. I am 56 and had become really miserable at the constant strain of living with head pain.
I had my first treatment from Jenny and felt the benefits immediately. I felt as if it was the first time in years that I had been free of any headache and could stand with my back straight and my shoulders relaxed. I have had massage before with little noticeable change but this treatment felt very different Jenny gave me advice as to how to tackle the onset of a headache and since that first treatment my headaches have improved beyond belief. I used to think my headaches would always be a constant, painful part of my life - now I cannot remember the last time I had one.

I spend long periods of time at a computer and because of this and the stress of meeting tight deadlines, I experienced a lot of pain in my neck, shoulder and arm. I had little movement in my neck and was having difficulty turning my head. I was experiencing discomfort at night while sleeping. However, after only a few sessions with Jenny, things got sorted through massage and manipulation.
She gave me a series of exercises to do, which I still do, and recommended a pilates class. I haven't had any trouble since. I think anyone who spends a long period of time in front of a computer should see an osteopath regularly to ensure they are not doing any lasting damage due to stress and poor posture.

"Due to a bad fall several months earlier, my left leg and arm became quite stiff and increasingly painful. Eventually, the leg pain was keeping me awake at night, which is why I made an appointment with Jenny Howell. Her treatment over the next few weeks worked wonders! She is meticulous in all her work, from diagnosis to physical manipulation. I am now out of pain, while the residual stiffness is disappearing fast as treatment continues. I strongly recommend Jenny to anyone who is looking for an osteopath who is both effective and understanding."
