A simple act of reaching down to the lower shelves in the supermarket left my back in spasm and in constant pain. I was stuck, I couldn’t sit or stand for any prolonged period of time, let alone drive, or function at my job. To get back on my feet and to help prevent this from happening again, I sought the intervention of an Osteopath; Ben was the great recommendation of a colleague. Recovery takes its own personal, individual, trajectory. Ben was thorough and considered in ensuring he tailored the correct assessment for me, to optimise improvement and bring mobility back. Ben’s treatment plan built a steady and enduring recovery. Weekly sessions soon reduced the immediate, acute pain. Appointments soon became fortnightly, then monthly, as the treatment focussed more on building strength to prevent it from happening again. Ben’s professional knowledge and experience, coupled with his calm, considered approach, engendered confidence and delivered results. I would highly recommend him to anyone with acute – or chronic – pain issues.
