Client Testimonials

Claire continues to be the key health professional helping to keep me active and fully functioning as a full-time teacher with a long-term lower back problem. More recently, Claire has supported me through the physical and mental challenge of a frozen shoulder and complex elbow fracture where she has worked collaboratively with other medical professionals to secure the best possible recovery and rehabilitation for me. Claire always ‘listens’ and creates a genuine bespoke programme of therapy and exercise to support my whole wellbeing – often going well beyond her paid time and remit to secure I feel confident in between appointments. I recommend Claire wholeheartedly and without reservation for both short-term intervention and longer-term osteopathy ‘packages.’

Client Testimonials

When I first visited Claire, my back was constantly sore and I was often taking painkillers. Claire has worked on my back and also taught me exercises so I have become stronger. She has been patient, persistent, analytical and encouraging and as a result, this Spring my back was so much better that I was able to walk the full length of Hadrian’s Wall with my husband.
