"Hi Ben, just a quick thank you for all of the treatment over the past 10 years. It is comforting to know that you are a call away. My issues have ranged from a niggle to severe, you have always fitted me in and eased my pains. Your advice regarding a torn meniscus was invaluable recommending I see a surgeon rather than more treatments (money saved thank you). I wish you and your family all the best."

"Ben, I can't thank you enough for taking my headaches away. Boots next door will be out of business if you carry on. I hated taking painkillers for so long."

"For the past 12 months, Ben has been treating me for migraines. I had been plagued with these horrific headaches for 3 years or so. They were having the most dreadful effect on, not only my life, but my family's too. It was when my GP suggested I start taking beta blockers that I contacted Ben - I haven't looked back since! In September of last year I was able to complete my first half marathon, something that would have been a physical impossibly 18 months ago. I cannot recommend Ben highly enough."

"I don’t really understand fully how cranial osteopathy works but then I don’t need to – what I do know is that it makes things better! When I first arrived at The Family Osteopath everything was ‘out of balance’: I couldn’t turn and look over my shoulder (quite dangerous when driving) had had recurrent lower back issues for years, was struggling with recurrent knee pain (stopping me from playing tennis and netball), yet after a series of treatments ALL of the issues were resolved. Occasionally some of the above symptoms return (after a period of stress) so I book in to see Ben and within one or two treatments everything is back in balance. Having had a fairly serious RTA as a child I know that some of my symptoms stem from that, so I now try to schedule a maintenance treatment every few months. For anyone who thinks cranial ‘light touch’ osteopathy is a bit weird, put your scepticism aside and give it a few sessions. I am so glad I did!"

"For those of you who have suffered from any type of pain knows at best it can be annoying, niggling and a nuisance, but at worst can be excruciating and debilitating. After only five appointments I am free from sciatic pain thanks to Ben at The Family Osteopath. How Cranial Osteopathy works, I don't really know, though it was explained to me briefly in layman's terms. However this much I know, and that is it works! Ben works with patience and understanding and has worked wonders to relieve my pain in such a short space of time. All I can say is 'thank you'!"

"Results from this treatment have been amazing! I was recommended to Ben by a friend after being in pain for over 8 years and had pretty much given up any hope of being pain free again. I have no idea how it works, despite Ben explaining it to me, but it works wonders! Due to various horse riding injuries the pain in my back and shoulders were so severe, I had not only given up horse riding and sport in general but found it a lot of effort to pick up everyday items or walk up stairs. I was starting to think I had the mobility of a 90 year old. With a few months of treatment I am pain free and feel phenomenally better and happier!"

"I should just like to say that after 18 months of intense pain in my left leg, which was diagnosed as Sciatica, I am now virtually pain free. I was on quite a lot of painkillers to help relieve the pain, but am now on none at all! I would certainly recommend Ben to anyone needing osteopathy treatment, as it has certainly worked for me!"

"Hi Ben, I would like to thank you for the excellent treatment you gave me on my very painful shoulder. I had suffered with it for about 8 months. I could not sleep or use it very much as it was restrictive and sore. The pain and lack of sleep was not getting any better so I fixed up a consultation with you. After a few appointments my shoulder was a lot easier and less painful to use and is now almost completely pain free and not waking me at night. I wish I had seen you sooner and saved myself a lot of discomfort. Thank you once again Ben."

"Hi Ben, Just to let you know – great success with treatment on Monday – after my treatment my headache had completely gone!!!! – a few twinges on Tuesday but they came to nothing - and no headache since. Hope it continues – will let you know if they return. Many thanks."

"Since deciding to get help from Ben for my terrible back pain, my life has totally changed. I used to cry because I was in so much pain. But six months later I’m turning up the volume on my radio and having a good old boogie around the kitchen. I feel fantastic and I’m so happy I turned to osteopathy instead of pain killers. What a difference Ben has made to my life. I’m so grateful as are my family to see me pain free again."

"Dear Ben. I will be in touch later, but just to say that yesterday's treatment really helped. Many thanks."

"Hi Ben, I would recommend anyone to see you, as I have been more than pleased with my results!!! I may even do the Marathon next time!!! Take care."

"Listen Bro. I feel amazing. So much better in my neck and back – more movement and less stiffness. Generally holding myself tense less. Thank you."

"Most people, when they hear the words Cranial Osteopath, think it's a treatment that is going to hurt – nothing could be further from the truth. It is an incredibly gentle way of helping the body. Most people also think Cranial Osteopathy is just for bad backs, knees and that type of thing. I can personally testify that Ben treats many more complex issues too. I have fibromyalgia, a distressing, exhausting neurotransmitter condition – causing muscle and tendon pain, non-vegetative sleep, myofascial pain and many symptoms similar to ME – to add to this, the brain also sends out inappropriate pain messages! Ben has been treating me for the over-production of adrenaline that fuels this condition. Along the way he has treated my classic back problems, depression, sinus congestion, bursitis of the hip, and severe neuralgic pain. He has been brilliant responding to emergency calls for help with claustrophobic panic attacks last year. The treatment sessions are warm and relaxing – as is Ben himself. He is very understanding,really listens and works very hard to give the best treatment he can, to each individual body."

"When I was pregnant I had PSD. And after the birth of my son (5 years ago) my pelvis did not return to normal. It prevented me from doing certain activities (i.e gym etc.). I had physio treatment which did not work. I decided to go to Ben for treatment and I wish I went to him in the beginning. Within a few sessions I felt like I had my life back. I was able to do things that I couldn’t do before, due to the pain. I’m not in pain anymore. Now I feel I am in control again thanks to Ben. I work in the health care industry and I recommend him to everyone! Thanks Ben!"

"I saw Ben earlier this year for my lower back pain which, post two pregnancies, had become increasingly painful so that by the evening I could barely walk. After the first treatment most of the pain had gone, and after four treatments my back was sorted, and I felt well and active again. The best result when ‘mum’ is required to be hands on in the evenings! Thank you so much Ben, it’s an amazing treatment and so effective. If you have back pains I couldn’t recommend The Family Osteopath more."

"I have visited Ben over a number of years for different injuries and I cannot recommend him highly enough. With a calm and personable approach, he works to get to the root of the problem to help provide a long term solution. The well being of his patients is Ben’s overriding concern and there is nobody I would trust more with my health. Ben deserves all the plaudits he receives."

"I recently saw Ben about my bad back which I’ve had for over a decade. After just five sessions the daily twinges and pain have gone and I’m now able to exercise again. Ben is really friendly, professional, genuinely focused on getting you better, and will go out of his way to try and fit you into his busy schedule. I would thoroughly recommend him. Thank you Ben."

"5 years ago Ben took on the challenge of our 18 month old unhappy and non-sleeping daughter and single handedly gave us our lives (and sleep!) back. Our daughter has been a calmer person ever since and I put that down entirely to Ben’s treatments. Ben has been a huge help in the treatment of our elder daughter’s glue ear and an ongoing support in treating a lower back and knee problem. Ben is calm, kind and professional and his osteopathic training gives him the ability to help with any number of health problems. Thank you!"

"Best Osteopath in this part of the country by far! Ben is not only an excellent Osteopath with a holistic approach to treatment but he is also a lovely and professional guy. I actually really look forward to my appointments even though some treatments can be uncomfortable."

"A year ago I had really bad pains in both my feet, back and shoulders. Now I’m in no pain in my feet and my shoulders and back are a lot better thanks to Ben. So if you're in any pain, don’t wait any longer. Ring Ben, you won’t regret it."

"I can’t recommend Ben highly enough, his treatment is the only effective relief I have found for migraines."

"Ben is knowledgeable, professional and has a wonderful way about him. He treated my six day old baby with wonderful results."

"Ben is a most proficient and excellent osteopath who walks his talk. Thanks to his knowledge and deeper understanding of cause and effect he has given me back all of my mobility!! Very deeply appreciated too!"

"Marvellous practice. Ben is personable and professional."
