John was fantastic with my little boy who was only feeding one way and didn't like to move his neck in the other direction. After a few sessions with John his feeding and digestion dramatically improved. John was very gentle with his adjustments and was able to do this mostly with a sleeping baby. I also think he's a bit of a baby whisper as any time my little one did cry for any reason (mainly when he woke from his nap) John was able to settle him with ease.

John is a highly experienced Osteopath, working holistically to balance body & mind. Through treatments with him I have not only gained physical equilibrium, but also an inner confidence & deeper understanding of the importance of self-care. Highly recommended!

I first went to see John about 9 or 10 years ago when I was still suffering facial paralysis as a result of Bells Palsy. I was initially concerned due to my lack of knowledge about cranial osteopathy but knew a couple of people who had benefitted hugely from treatment I was willing to "give it a go!" as I was at a point where I would try anything. John's humble and calm manner helped to ease my concerns. I won't profess to know or understand how his treatments works, but after a number of visits I had restored a lot of movement in the side of my face and had stopped suffering with regular bouts of pins and needles and numbness down m one side. He has helped me to regain a natural looking smile with more even features and movement. More recently I revisited him after a trip to the doctor saw me handed information on arthritis as I had been waking with excruciating pain in my lower back and leg as soon as I was bearing weight on my foot. This had been happening every morning and hugely effected my quality of life. I then recalled the help John had previously given me, and made an appointment. Quite literally, since my first session with him I have not had this pain since. I feel younger and more energised. I have vowed now that this is my treat each month in a bid to look after myself. I can't put my finger on why but there really is something special about John and what he does - a very gifted man and I am thankful he was recommended to me. (The photo's are early Bells Palsy and after treatment - the difference meant the world to me)

John first sorted out my sinuses which had been causing me trouble for decades. I was sceptical but desperate. it worked! Joy! He then sorted out my torn rotator cuff, my balance, and my posture. I now see him on a planned maintenance program, and definitely recommend his services.

I have known John and Rose for sixteen years and have benefitted from John's expertise and knowledge at that time due to an injury at work. He also rebalanced my body from 7 years of M.E after being in a wheelchair for 3 and half years and feeling like an 80 year old getting out of bed in the morning. I returned to this area in 2020 and once again sought John's skills for neck and back pain. He always goes above and beyond what you expect of him and gets to the crux of the problem with the greatest of understanding. A true professional!
