“My back is feeling so much better. It cleared up just one day after treatment. So thanks!”

“My job involves hours and hours stooped over a computer keyboard, tensing my shoulders. Thanks to this, for about four years I’ve suffered persistent pain in my upper and lower back, affecting my sleep and general demeanour. I had tried massage, pilates, the gym and visited several osteopaths – all with varying degrees of success. It was only after seeing Karen that my back showed real and lasting improvement. After one visit it was getting better and after three or four I had absolutely no stiffness or pain. Karen’s patiently and decisively diagnosed what was wrong, and used a variety of treatment approaches. I now have the posture and back of an18 year-old. If I could just get the abs to match that I’d be sorted.”

“I don’t know whether it was my passion for sailing, which means ‘hiking out’ for long periods of time in strong winds in a single-handed boat, putting a lot of pressure on the lower back, or being desk-bound at work for ever longer times. But one day it came like a bolt out of the blue – my back was killing me – I was in agony. I couldn’t sleep, and every turn at night hurt. I had to give up all sporting activity. Ibuprofen, normally used to reduce inflammation, didn’t help at all. A friend suggested I see an Osteopath. As I had never seen an Osteopath before I had no clear idea of what to expect. All I knew was that I wanted to get rid of this terrible backache. This is how I met Karen. Could she help me? I outlined the problem. I didn’t take her long to diagnose that one of the XYZ joints on the left was completely out of sync. She did as Osteopaths do, realigning all those bones and joints, followed by some gentle acupuncture. The results were nothing short of amazing, I thought. After visit no 1, the pain was reduced by some 25 percent. Visit no 2 a week later reduced the pain by a staggering 85 percent. Visit no 3 cured the problem. The treatments were so amazingly effective. About 4 weeks later, whilst I’m still spending far too much time in my office chair (me thinks), I have been sailing again, with what seems to be a completely new lower back. Thank you, Karen!”
