I had been suffering with blocked ears for about 2 months when a friend suggested Craniosacral therapy. After googling I came across Elvina’s website and booked in for a treatment. Within a few sessions I was cured. The difference was incredible and with such gentle treatment, it was almost like magic! Elvina combines professionalism with a genuine warmth and friendliness which allowed me to feel calm, reassured. And in good hands throughout my treatment. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone suffering with aches, pains. Or ear ache.
I am so happy and feel very lucky that I found Elvina! She is not only an amazing health professional, but also a kind, warm and interesting human being – with a great sense of humour! I injured my back and was experiencing pain, tightness and discomfort. Visiting an osteopath for the first time, you are likely to be both in some pain and also a little wary of what’s in store. Any anxieties were quickly dispelled: Elvina is a consummate professional! She combines this professionalism with a genuine warmth and friendliness so you feel calm, reassured and in safe hands throughout the appointment. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and treats the whole person. This was really important for me, as my injury meant I was losing confidence in myself and my abilities. Elvina spends a lot time asking questions to build a picture of your history to get to the root of your particular problem. She identified my issues and the treatment she provided resulted in my feeling so much better even after my very first appointment. She also suggested exercises and stretches to do at the gym and at home to build muscle and strength to help with my recovery and prevent further issues. She has a great website where she provides further information and videos to help you remain injury free. Elvina really listens and genuinely cares about you and your recovery. I have already made so much progress and always look forward to my visits. I thoroughly recommend Elvina. .Moreexpand_more
Have being seeing Elvinha for a number of years and has helped with a number of niggles I’ve picked up through training. Her attention to detail and feedback to help maintain a healthy injury free lifestyle keep up my hobbies and work. Many thanks.
Elvina helped my daughter(11) when she started having back pain and was unable to bend to touch her toes. After numerous hospital appointments with various specialists, none of whom could help or diagnose the issue, we thought to contact Elvina who other family members were already using. She quickly and thoroughly diagnosed the issue and started a recovery plan of exercises and massage treatments at the clinic and for us to do at home. Elvina is very knowledgable and confident in her work. My daughter was back to normal within 6 months of seeing Elvina! We would not hesitate to recommend her, even above seeing your doctor! She is extremely good at what she does. Thanks for you help.
After many years of living with back pain, pain killers etc I was recommended to see Elvina by a close friend. Elvina was very quick at assessing and setting up a treatment process. Now get ache free sleep and can't rate Elvina highly enough, not only very knowledgeable and professional, but also ensuring you do exercises to encourage long term treatment.
I've been privileged to have been treated by Elvina over several years. She has always swiftly located the problem and usually the reason why the pain or discomfort has arisen, therefore the treatment is always holistic and usually educational! I understand my body so much better, and through Elvina, have learnt over the years, how to strengthen the identified weak areas, incorporating her suggested exercise tecniques and important stretches into my exercise regime. This has undoubtedly kept me 'out if trouble' in the main! Very recently I had a very sudden problem with my leg, affecting my mobility. I phoned Elvina for advice. I wasn't able to 'get' what she meant in response to my explanation so she very kindly offered to video WhatsApp call me! She quickly located the problem, gave me advice where to ice to reduce the inflammation, stretches, and now the pain has subsided, strengthening exercises. Hey presto, in 24 hours, I was pain free, but know that I have to continue with Elvina's trusted advice so that a reoccurrence doesn't happen! Thank you Elvina, you're fab!Moreexpand_more
At over 80 years old, I have become a regular client at Elvina’s clinic. Despite having recovered from a stoke which has restricted movements on my left side and having Arthritis, the treatment I have been receiving enabled me to carry on with my regular activities and pursuits. My activities include going on all-day walks, gardening and undertaking regular volunteering roles which require either long periods sitting or standing. All these cause painful repercussions. However, by timing my visits for treatment to coincide with my activity schedule, I am reassured and confident that Elvina’s expertise can resolve re-occurring muscle and pain issues in my legs and shoulder. With Elvina’s skill, there is always immediate relief, and, by following her ‘after treatment advice’, normality returns quite quickly. I'm so pleased that Elvina has managed to keep her clinic open during the virus pandemic. Edward Whiston: November 2020.
Im a hairdresser and have been a client of elvinas for 8yrs she has helped me alot with my posture and back pain I go and see her about once a month dont know what I would do with out her I dont need to take painkillers anymore.
I have already written a review, because Elvina has given back my ability to walk, and I love my daily dog walks, but my treatment has been ongoing and I continue to appreciate what she does. She really understands people's bodies, and has taught me to wake up long-forgotten muscles and to strengthen my core. She explains exactly how to carry out actions that I have been doing for years, in a way that I can improve my gait and walk without pain and discomfort. If anything else is happening with my body she will work on that too, so her treatment improves the whole experience of living. Elvina knows which bits are hurting even before I have identified where the pain is coming from. Her approach is sympathetic but firm and her personality delivers relief with a touch of humour. I can wholeheartedly recommend Elvina. I just wish that I had visited her again earlier. She has given me back power over my body and my quality of life.Moreexpand_more
I have been seeing Elvina for several years now (specifically relating to diziness issues as well as post pregnancy aches and pains) and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone - in fact I recommend her to my friends all the time! She is a super person and her treatment is very professional and effective. Where doctors and specialists have failed Elvina has worked miracles! I am forever grateful.
I love Elvina! I have been visiting Elvina monthly for the last 3 years. She treats my relentless aches and pains and always seems to find the route of the problem, I leave feeling great and the next day even better. She has also given me great dietary advice that has made a real impact on my life for the better. Highly recommend.
"Let me begin by saying Elvina is worth much more than I paid. At one point in the not so distant past I suffered a series of debilitating injuries to both of my legs, making it impossible for me to pursue my everyday lifestyle, undertake activities I enjoyed, or even stand up at work for any length of time without crippling pain. After a series of treatments from Elvina, and months of careful rehabilitation I was able to function properly once again. Since that day, I have run 2 marathons and passed the entry test for the Royal Marines, and it wouldn’t have been possible without her. ".
I went to Elvina in severe pain, I couldn't stand up straight. This was so debilitating as I like to exercise but couldn't any longer. After three sessions Elvina has managed to get me pain free and able to exercise again. She goes out of her way to give you fantastic treatment and talks to you about things you can do to prevent problems occurring. She is a lovely lady who listens carefully and takes everything you say on board. Highly recommended.
I first went to see Elvina when I needed a hip replacement and could hardly walk. Elvina worked on this and on strengthening things that would help me. I came in using a stick, but went out each time able to walk freely for a few more days. I went to her when this hip needed revision surgery and again when my other hip needed replacing. I can't speak too highly of her.
Ifound Elvina very thorough and has a very friendly approach. She always starts with how have you been checking exactley with the problem is. At times she can be a bit over the top with the treatment but at the end a the day you come out of the treatment feeling much better. If you have any problems Elvina is the one to see . She will differently put you at ease give her a try you wont regret it.
Elvina's treatment have improved my quality of life not just my mobility. On my first visit I just wanted to be painfree but now I can do things I haven't been able to for years. Walk downstairs, wear shoes with heels, aerobic classes with impact, walk around an exhibition all day, . The list goes on and on. I recommend Elvina to everyone - not only is she brilliant at her job but she is such a lovely personality I look forward to my visits.
