          We had such a great experience bringing our 3 week old son in for treatment. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel completely at ease. John was very gentle, patient and caring with him, taking the time to explain everything he was doing and answer all of our questions. As a first time parent, it’s incredibly reassuring to be in the hands of someone so knowledgeable and compassionate. My son was very calm throughout the appointment, and we left feeling much more confident and at ease! Highly recommend.

          Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Gervais for a handful of sessions, he was very calm and helpful. Gave me exercises to do at home and took me through different techniques in our sessions, I was new to Osteopathy and he was great at taking me through everything. Would really recommend working with him!

          Love this treatment centre, specifically Cerys who was an excellent therapist. Really thoughtful and provided great service, consistently thinking about my needs whilst being very personal.

          I went in with a slipped disc in my lower back. The treatment from Gervais I got was excellent and made a massive difference in my recovery.

          I’ve had a problem with my hip flexor for a long time now, and through a series of sessions with Gervais and rehabilitation exercises the pain has almost completely gone. Could not recommend him more, he was knowledgable, professional and friendly and the treatments varied from massage to acupuncture to chiropractic. It was a pleasure!

          Gervais helped my back pain so much, he was really clear with everything and if I have issues with anything again I will definitely be back.

          I highly recommend John. I first came to see him with severe neck and shoulder pain which was limiting movement in my neck. Having suffered with this, intermittently, for many years I found John as the pain had become unbearable. After the first session I experienced significant improvements and within 4-5 sessions, alongside a couple of targeted exercises that I could do at home, I was feeling better than I had done in years. My treatment involved a mixture of osteopathy, acupuncture and cranial sacral osteopathy and I’ve found such help in that, that I continue to see John monthly as part of a ‘maintenance’ regimen, even though my original reason for seeing him has been dealt with! Highly, highly recommend!

          I can’t recommend this place enough! I went in having hardly any range of motion in my neck and within 2 sessions Gervais got me back to normal and even with more range of motion than I had before. Very happy with this experience
