Braintree Osteopaths - Suzanne Cooper

Suzanne is a wonderful practitioner and person, very knowledgeable, reassuring and skilled. Suzanne first treated our daughter when she was 3 months old because she had a tongue tie division at 8 days old but she still had a lot of tension in her body, jaw and head following her back to back labour and fast birth being born in one go and our lactation consultant recommended cranial osteopathy to help with attachment and positioning for breastfeeding. We had 5 sessions in total with Suzanne, the final one at my request to help with some residual tension with feeding and it felt very bespoke because she always listened to me and any concerns I had and carried out treatment on my daughter accordingly. Her communication style is very clear and I appreciate that as a person who likes clear communication. After each session, I could see a huge difference in my baby's energy and alertness and the tension in her head, neck, hips and spine had clearly left and over a 2 week period between clinic visits, she really blossomed and settled into her new mobility brilliantly. My daughter has had symptoms of reflux also because of a complication of not having had her tongue tie fully released by the person who carried this out and having scar tissue and taking in too much air when feeding. The sessions with Suzanne have also massively helped this to be more manageable until we can get a full tongue tie division and I will forever be grateful for this for sustaining our breastfeeding relationship. I feel like Suzanne really cares and her methodical approach to treatment and making it personal and tailored to us is what makes her service stand out. It's easy to treat people as a number but Suzanne is passionate about making a difference and going beyond what is expected I feel. As an aside, she is also very respectful and she always asked my daughter for consent to place her hands on her head or jaw in every treatment and responded if she cried or looked unsettled, even if my daughter is only a young baby which is amazing to me to even show that care regardless of age or capacity of the person. My daughter even sleeps better since having the treatment with Suzanne so I will definitely recommend her to any parents who could benefit from cranial osteopathy for their baby in future, it has made a huge difference to us. I will also be returning to Suzanne to have some osteopathy treatment for myself when I can as my daughter grows a bit as I feel imbalanced since giving birth and I have every trust in her professional skill and care.

I visited Suzanne to alleviate neck and shoulder pain from a long standing injury coupled with Osteoarthritis in my spine and hip. After 2 sessions I felt a lot more comfortable, after 3 sessions I am further down the pain free road than I thought possible. Suzanne is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable whilst being understanding and personable. A visit to this clinic and Osteopath is highly recommended.

Suzanne was unsure if she could assist me but straight from the off I knew I was in safe hands. After suffering a shoulder injury Suzanne was got to straight to it and I left after my first session with 100% more mobility than when I went in. Was sore for a few days after but when that settled I felt great. My first and main issue opened a can of worms but when that was sorted, she was on to the next and then the next. It took a few sessions but pain is not a one stop shop so I was under no illusion it would be a quick fix. With that said I didn't feel like any session was added that wasn't actually needed. Very happy to recommend her services to friend and family in need. Thank you Suzanne.

Suzanne is a fantastic osteopath. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done in getting my back, hips and spine back to how they should be. I feel so much better in myself, off pain medication, more relaxed and the acupuncture helped with my insomnia as well as back issues ! Very knowledgeable in her profession and a lovely person to.
