Nice waking up without pain

I’d had low back pain and sciatica for a few months and been to the doctor and my local therapist. You confidently said I just had to stick to the plan we put together and that it would all be OK. You were spot on! Thanks. It’s so nice waking up without pain!

Huge thanks

Just wanted to say a huge thanks again. When, over twenty years ago, a surgeon told me to come back in a few years time when I was in a wheelchair because of my back, I can’t tell you what a downer that was. I am certain that following your plan has been a big part of making sure that never happened!

I can't believe it

My pain was typically 5 out of 10 but could be as bad as 9 for the last four weeks. It was really terrible after sitting. Two weeks after starting your plan I’m down to 0 out of 10. I can’t believe it! Thank you so much!

This Edinburgh Osteopath's Core Values

You want results, and we want to deliver. You define the SMART goals you’re aiming for and we do everything we can to support you in achieving those results. If we don’t measure it, it won’t get done.

In nature, nothing stays the same – everything is growing or withering. We choose growth and innovation, because we don’t want to wither and fail. We want the same for our clients. Our practices evolve as our education expands.

We are in the healthcare industry. We care passionately about you and our colleagues, and live to serve both.

We want to make a big difference, so we have to think big and encourage others to do the same. Small goals won’t motivate you for long. We need to talk about the difficult stuff and avoid sugar-coating. Playing around the fringes of problems won’t make a big impact, nor get the lasting results you – and we – are looking for.
