After 20 mins of pre-treatment questioning, she finally started the massage: it was far too gentle even having directly asked for it to be stronger. Despite knowing how I wanted/needed the massage, as I've been seeing osteopath for many years and know what works for me, she ignored my request and continued the massage the way she wanted. With this approach she found no real issues and by the time I left I was 65 poorer and felt just like I did when I went in. Later on that same day, my husband had to massage the areas of complaint and found several knots amongs other tense areas and his massage proved to be far more effective than Carol's. A complete waist of time and money.

I had a great experience with Carol when I attended an appointment believing that I may have injured my neck. She was able to quickly determine that the problem did not lie in any of my musculoskeletal structures, and helped me draw up a plan of further action that finally led to a diagnosis for which I am now receiving treatment. We also had an interesting chat during my examination, which I thoroughly enjoyed and found very informative. Would highly recommend.

Carol is calm and professional and makes you feel immediately at ease. Carol takes a holistic approach, making time to find out about your lifestyle and what external stresses might be impacting on your body. Carol uses very gentle manipulation and massage during the appointments and recommends useful exercises which have made a big improvement to my back. The appointments never feel rushed and I always come away feeling better. I would recommend Carol to anyone who is suffering from neck, shoulder or back pain.

Carol was at the Chippenham Half Marathon event in September 2019 (very kindly donating her time for charity). I had a pre-race sports massage from her for a problem hamstring. She was absolutely amazing and her treatment made a huge difference to my run. My legs felt loose and relaxed right from the start of race, and I flew round in a seasons best by 10 minutes, and won my age category ! I would thoroughly recommend any runners out there to give it a go if you haven`t tried pre race treatment before, I can guarantee you won`t regret it! Thankyou Carol!
