“I just want to say "God Bless You"! It has been 2 years now that I have been suffering from crippling sciatica and back pain. I have been to 3 osteopaths, 3 physios, 1 chiropractor and one consultant radiologist who gave me three sets of local epidural injections under x-ray control. In addition I saw a myofacial release specialist.

I paid out-of-pocket for all and it cost me several thousand pounds. All were well-meaning people but none managed to diagnose nor cure my pain. I received temporary relief because all focused on symptoms and not the cause.

You DIAGNOSED me and then set about curing the cause. Your examination was the most thorough I have received and I was grateful for a diagnosis -finally.

2 months on, I am 90% there - not bad given how chronic my situation was. Most importantly, the progress is sustained which means we (sorry, you) have gotten to the cause..

Several times I have been in tears due to my inability to be properly functional. It is remarkable how chronic pain can affect one psychologically. I used to be really miserable by 5/6 pm because by then the pain was at its worse and I was not able to move much nor stand.

That is not the case any more (thank God) and I notice how much more energy and positive attitude I have at the end of the day vs fatigue and despondency.

You were the first to look at my situation as an individual one. Almost everyone else just followed a tried and tested treatment route. That "one size fits all" just DOES NOT work and it is so hard to tell who is a good Clinician and who is not.

I was lucky to finally find you. And given that I hate needles, I have grown to like the ones you use as they are so effective!

I don't want to forget another physio in your practice who looked after me in your absence. She too is a Godsend. Caring, focused on the person and extremely effective. Thank you.”
