Margaret has worked wonders with my back after it spasmed packing to return from our holiday. I was virtually immobile and Margaret treated me, easing the pain and helping my back to recover more quickly. My mobility improved rapidly and has continued to improve with follow-up sessions. I can highly recommend Margaret who has a lovely manner and clearly very effective methods of treatment. Thank you!

I initially went to see Margaret when I was suffering from issues with my lower back resulting in very limited movement and serve pain. After just a few sessions the pain had eased substantially and I was able to move about again. Since that original treatment I have been to see Margaret on a number of occasions with various back and neck problems and without fail a few treatments have always rectified the problem. Margaret always takes time not only to understand the problem but also to explain the cause, and the suggest treatment in simple easy to understand language. Other members of my family

I suffered with back pain for many years and had just got used to the discomfort. Since starting treatment with Margaret recently, I no longer wake up in pain or the many restrictions previously caused by my back pain. Margaret listens and is always very thorough and professional in her approach. She clearly cares about her patient's and I can't recommend her highly enough!

I recently visited Margaret for advice and
treatment for a painful neck and back
problem; it was quickly diagnosed and
treated and I returned for
more treatments that have left me pain free for the
first time in many years. I am eternally grateful to
her for her professional approach and the
thoroughness and quality of her treatment. I would happily recommend
Margaret to anyone requiring attention for
any neck/back pain or other related ailments .

After suffering with persistent lower back pain on and off for many years, I eventually discovered Margaret at South Manchester Osteopathy. Her treatment and advice has been excellent and I have now been free of back pain for several years. I highly recommend.
