Report
Effective, gentle treatment from a professional, compassionate Chiropractor. I had suffered with chronic back pain for years (exacerbated by my role as a nurse), for which I had tried numerous treatment methods & therapists. Kate's treatment has resulted in me being pain free for over 2 years. I cannot recommend enough!

Report
Kate is a very knowledgeable Chiropractor, who has treated me on several unscheduled occasions over many years. I'd never had a Chiropractic treatment before seeking Kate's help and her naturally friendly manner put me at ease straight away. I have a rare auto-immune & auto-inflammatory disease that means I experience joint pain that is similar to rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment Kate has given to me has always been beneficial, especially when I was pregnant and when I have been in periods where my illness has been relapsing.

After many years of suffering with all sorts of back pain I managed to find Kate could help. Where physios and doctors had failed in the past to look at a complex medical case, Kate was able to make valuable in roads and able to treat me.
Kate herself puts you at ease with a confident smile and coming from someone who's been in an out of hospital… all his life she has the calming influence you find with too consultants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, if you're thinking twice about seeking help for joint or back issues, don't worry, your in safe hands with Kate.
