Testimonials

I had severe back pain for months if not years which I thaught were related to a bad move I made a while back, and that actually seemed to be due to my bad posture at work. In just a few sessions with Jenny, my situation improved drastically and I was then able to keep getting better through exercises that she gave me. I just started to climb again last week, which I couldn't do anymore for a while because of the pain, and everything went fine : no pain at all anymore!

Visited the Heath Osteopathic Practice after suddenly having severe pain in my lower back for about a week. After a massage and being given exercises to do at home, within a few days the pain began to subside dramatically. By the time of my second consultation a week later the pain had almost disappeared all together. A very professional and friendly service. Many thanks. Paul

Managed to get appointment very quickly at this local practice, suffering with acute back pain. Jenny was reassuring, first appointment made a big difference and she also provided very practical exercise routine. Highly recommended.
