The Osteopathic Body Mechanic

I hadn't been able to move properly for nearly week due to a trapped nerve. Not going to lie, the treatment was painful but it certainly the trick! Highly recommend.

My teenage son has been suffering really bad pain in his knees for nearly 2 years and all of the visits to the GP, physio sessions, stretching exercises, etc. Made no difference. After visiting Gareth, he identified the issue and after one session, my son walked out pain free. My son couldn't believe that for the first time in 2 years he didn't have any pain and today has resumed playing football pain free. Thanks Gareth! I strongly recommend Gareth.

One absolutely thorough session and I went from agony to thoroughly mobile. I've seen Gareth a few times over the years, each time I put my back out. Unlike other practitioners, he never insists on extra sessions and fixes me in one go every time, saying "you'll know if you need to come back". Such a refreshing ethos. The main thing being that he can actually do it one session. Once you've seen this magician, you won't go anywhere else.

Gareth is fantastic. I went to him with chronic knee pain after months of suffering and my doctor just wanting to prescribe more pain killers. He took the time to investigate and work on the knee. Four weeks later and I still haven’t taken a painkiller of any kind! He is brilliant and a lovely guy too!

I can fully recommend Gareth without hesitation, he is very competent and fills you with confidence that he knows what he's doing and can help you. Having suffered with chronic shoulder and neck pain for over 20 years, getting steadily more limiting and troubling over time, I tried everything to get some relief, multiple steroid injections, physiotherapy (for years), acupuncture, untrasound and various other therapies and exercises. Nothing gave me anything other than short term relief. Over a relatively short period of time Gareth got me to a point where I could have very long pain free periods and I only have occasional minor flare ups (the occasional flare is to be expected having had an injury for so long that causes my pain problems). I've gone from being limited by my pain to living without pain most of the time and being able to easily manage the occasional flare up.

Visited Gareth, the day before a holiday to America. I was in terrible pain and the thoughts of a 7 hour flight filled me with dread ! But after I had my first treatment I felt immediately more flexible I was sore for a few days but by the time we flew to Atlanta I felt normal ! Thank you Gareth your a life saver ! And thank you for fitting me in last minute.

Have had a couple of appointments for myself and my daughter who has scoliosis, amazing results within a couple of sessions - will continue to see Gareth and would not hesitate in recommending his clinics to anyone in the future.

Fantastic ! , , years and years of not understanding my back issues I’m talking 30years. Went with sciatica probs new ailment ? It’s wiped me out for 6 months when your active it is a show stopper. I had seen 3 Osteopath’s before Gareth was recommended by a friend 2 hour round trip so my expectations were high ! He is a revaluation, holistic and completely off the wall …. Not sure he’s the best business man after 3 sessions he’s pretty much sorted me but I can’t give up ? Back to yoga for me soon Thanks Gareth enjoy the skiing with family.

I’ve just been to see Gareth regarding my back which turned out to be my botox! He also fixed my neck so I can now turn properly to the right and I have a crucial ligament rupture and he’s managed to get my knee straight. I can now walk without a limp for the first time since 4th July. Top guy and I feel fab.

Have seen a few oesteopaths in the last few years, this gentleman is by far the best. Would highly recommend. 10 out of 10.

I had back pain for over a month , also, I had shoulder pain for 18 months. I had 2 sessions with this exceptional man and now able to do my own bra up , my back is so much better, I can actually get out of bed without pain. I would definitely recommend him.

The man's a genius! Don't suffer in pain or popping pills - let Gareth fix you. Excellent - a definite recommendation and you'll never want or need to go anywhere else.

Very frightened of osteopaths in case they leave me in more pain. I could not have been more wrong. Having such a severe back injury that I had to call an ambulance, I was advised by my doctor to call Gareth. Not only did he offer me an appointment quickly but I was greeted in a friendly manner. He explained everything that was being carried out in great detail and the reason behind his actions. Nothing he did was extremely painful and I could feel the benefits as he progressed. I would not hesitate in booking another appointment and not only is it value for money, I crawled in there and walked out. Top quality service by a very nice man and highly recommended.

The day before my session I was in so much pain I passed out. With the help of drugs the hospital got me walking but with some discomfort. Gareth found a twist in my spine that the hospital did not find. Along with some other techniques he made walking so much easier. He also explained about the role of hydration on the spine which was good to know. I have another session booked in which he plans to make the improvement a permanent feature. I was expecting to be treated like a slab of meat smashed about but he seemed to do very little violent stuff to get a good result. I cannot fault the service.

I was unable to walk or sit without extreme discomfort due to chronic low back pain and sciatica. Gareth's considered and professional approach was just what I needed and he was able to fit me in at very short notice. Two appointments later and I am able to walk, sit and stand without a problem. Highly recommended.

After more than 2 years in pain with sciatica Gareth was recommended by a friend I went to see him, I was unable to walk any distance or stand without being in pain after 3 sessions with Gareth I feel great again, He could pinpoint my pain before I could tell him where it was. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone , my husband has also been to see him and he has helped greatly with his aches and pains.

I went to see Gareth yesterday after my Mum recommended him. She'd spent 5 weeks in agony with sciatica. She spent 5 weeks going to the doctors, taking muscle relaxants, pain relief and saw a physiotherapist. One session with Gareth and she was cured. I've had a bad back for 20 years so was dubious he'd be able to help. In one session all the tension in my upper back, neck and shoulders has simply disappeared. He knows exactly what he's doing and explains everything as he's doing it. A real professional and a nice guy too. Would massively recommend.

After suffering from back pain for 20 years I went to Gareth tonight on my Mums recommendation. She has spent 5 weeks in agony with sciatica and after numerous visits to her doctors, pain relief, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy, Gareth cured her completely in 1 session. He's a really nice guy, he knows exactly what he's doing and explains everything as he's doing it. Not only does my back feel better but I had the added bonus of walking away with my neck and shoulders completely free and I can now turn my head to the right which I haven't been able to do in years. Unbelievable. Excellent value for money. Fully recommend.

I went to see Gareth following a recommendation from a friend. I was made to feel very comfortable as soon as I walked in, he is highly knowledgeable and professional. If ever I have an ach or pain I always know Gareth will be able to help me. I have recommended him to my friends and family and they have all been amazed with how much he has been able to help them. I would recommend Gareth to anyone without hesitation.

As a result of being a tall individual I have always suffered from lower back pain. I have tried many different osteopaths locally without much joy and about 12 months I discovered Gareth. There has been a genuine improvement in my lower black since seeing Gareth only once a month and day to day activities have been vastly improved. I am keen on sports and previously my lower back was causing me an issue but now it causes me no issues. Gareth is a true professional and a breath of fresh air.
