This depends on the condition you have and what you mean by 'better'. It is well documented that inflammation, which is one of the main causes of pain, will often subside within forty-eight to seventy-two hours. Therefore the pain will most likely decrease or even disappear. However, the underlying cause and effect of an injury will lead to scarring and reduced flexibility, making re-injury more likely if it is not properly treated.

I found Vincent to be great; thorough with diagnosing issues and treatment in sessions was very effective. I think it's his blend of osteo and physio that I think that is really unique and potent. The exercises he's given me are also handy, and as a result mean I can hopefully 🤞keep myself in great shape without need for a silly number of sessions.

I have been a competitive gymnast for 12 years and have suffered with back pain for the last 4 years. After visiting many physios, I eventually got recommended Vincent. He has solved my back pain completely with just a few appointments. He is a very knowledgeable man and explains everything he is doing. He is very accommodating with appointments with is very helpful. He has managed to succeed where others have failed within just a few appointments and I am now pain free, I wish I had found him earlier. I would never recommend anywhere else.

Vincent was the fourth osteopath I tried in order to relieve chronic back pain. Over a number of weeks he succeeded where the others failed and now I am pain free and able to lead an active life once again. I will continue to schedule regular sessions with him to keep my back in shape and cannot recommend his services highly enough. Mr NS West Wickham

I can highly recommend Vincent and can not praise him enough. I was suffering from unexplained severe back pain which was totally new to me. I couldn’t sleep for days and nothing seemed to work. He managed to find the reason, after only one treatment the pain was gone which is impressive. His knowledge is incredible, the explanation he gives helped me to understand the core of the issue. I will certainly continue to see him, just so glad to have found such a professional Osteopath.

11 years ago i have a serious accident, NHS said that I would end up in a wheelchair after 3-4 years, because my spine was no longer alined. After six months treatment, it was and 11 years on i am fully active with his help. Two month ago after sitting for long periods at the computer and a long car journey a nerve got trapped, after 2 sessions i was pain free. He has given me a number of exercises over the years to keep me mobil. I would certainly recommend him, he is professional and looks at the underlying cause that need treating.

I had pain in my left knee constantly for about a year, I had put alot of pressure on the knee yomping with military equipment and taking blows to my knees in Thai boxing.
Vincent found out that the problem was not coming from the knee. Instead it came from my back. I have been to physio's, sports massage therapists, and out of all of these I am glad I found Vincent as my body is responding well to the treatment as I did not respond well to others over the years. The pain in my knee is almost gone and there is work to be done in other areas. For me I have found a true gem in Beckenham. I have

I highly recommend Vincent, he has helped me, my husband & sister over the last 20 years with various back/knee problems. He understands the body and how to help people with his vast skills & knowledge as an Osteopath. Even after moving away from the Bromley area we will always travel to see him, if we need his services. He is professional, honest & caring.
Since posting the above review I had to visit Vincent again after lifting an elderly lady up from the floor. I damaged my back and had two trapped nerves (sciatica) causing extreme pain and inability to bend down to pick anything up. Vincent

I decided to see Vincent after my sister recommended him. I have been suffering with Ankylosing Spondylitis and sciatica for many years and my life was completely devastated. Within a few sessions the sciatica was knocked on the head and over a short time all other symptoms of AS are reducing significantly and not returning. Vincent has always explained his treatment plan clearly and is very kind . He has in actual fact given me a chance of a better quality of life and I am very grateful to him. Cannot recommend him enough...

I have been visiting Vincent Barnes clinic for just over 2 years now, after an old neck/disc injury that returned with a vengeance when I was in early pregnancy.
I was in excruciating pain and being pregnant, was unable to take appropriate medication.
Vincent was very open and honest upfront, explaining to me what his technique would involve, the potential timescale and what adjustments he would need to make to allow for my pregnancy.
I was pleased that he was prepared to treat me, taking a prudent approach to treating with the minimal amount of after effects or reaction.
