After packing and moving 5 houses (mine and others) since march 2021, my back was in bad shape. I visited Shona weekly for a month and plan to have a once monthly ‘MOT’. Shona understood exactly what needed to be done and I honestly feel like a new person. I would completely recommend.

Had an amazing Osteopath session with Shona today. She gave me a consultation to find out about my needs and tailored my session to support stress relief, emotional healing and back ache using craniosacral and Osteopathic methods which I absolutely loved. During the session I fell into a deep relaxation whilst my body was handled with gentle care and ease. This clinic is friendly and very professional, I felt so welcomed. Enjoyed it so much that I’ve made another appointment.

This practice deserves a 5* review in my opinion! From the warm, welcoming greeting by the front of house staff, through to the professionalism of the practitioners. I can highly recommend Shona McKay who has treated me a few times this year. I recently took up golfing but wasnt prepared for the back muscle spasms that are sold as a package when you sign on the dotted line!; throw in fibromyalgia, tinnitus and a good dollop of Covid hysteria that creeps into those little grey cells, sending you further down the pan....and Voila! Shona is extremely knowledgable in her field and treats

Very knowledgeable. Friendly. Efficient. Knew their stuff. Happy to fully share their findings. Would have got a 5 out of 5 if pain eased a bit more via even a little muscle manipulation too as was still a little sore even after treatment but certainly better, just not as great as I have gotten elsewhere. Will definitely return though.better than average for knowledge
