Report
Kerry Maguire is amazing. I first visited Tuesday 30th March and my second visit was today 06th April and I feel like a new person. My back, knee and shin on my right side had been progressively getting worse/more painful over the past few months and after my two visits with Kerry I feel like Ive been realigned and Im totally pain free. I had not had to visit an osteopaths before so I didnt know what to expect but Kerry explained what she would do and she had a lovely/calming manner. I honestly couldnt recommend her more highly. The receptionist at the practice was really lovely and

Report
Exceptional - been using them for years, now through my healthcare plan. Have treated me for recovery from muscle tears (both ligaments and core muscles), as well as sporting injuries from sprains and over-training. Always complimented with sound advice regarding changes to my training programme and stretching to mitigate recovery time. Matt has treated me most recently for leg and back issues during training, and have been very pleased with the results. Would recommend!
