Services
Your first appointment will take up to an hour to complete and in nearly all cases we aim to spend a considerable amount of this time in treatment to start getting you better on the day. You'll be asked questions to understand your present condition, how it came to be with you and how its affecting your life.
Its a very big question that one, as modern regulations surrounding clinical based trials prevent, and quite rightly so, from any health practitioner making claims as to what they can "treat" without the necessary evidence to prove it! For example, we would see a cold as your bodies natural detoxification efforts, a healing crisis if you like, where as conventional medicine would say you caught a bug.
Sports injuries can be a very real problem for all athletes, from the social squash or tennis player to the highly tuned athlete competing at top level sporting events. Sports injuries are often not the case of a simple muscle strain or local trauma that should be expected as par for the course.
Your osteopath has to ask the question; why has the injury occurred there, why now and why to you, so that they can really get to the root of the problem and get you back to full fitness for longer and perhaps with advanced performance.

Osteopathic treatment of asthma patients has no weird and wonderful secrets, it relates back to fundamental principles of structure and function being interrelated. If you try to breath whilst hunched up with your chin on your chest and slumped forward, it's difficult isn't it? Asthma suffers face this battle for fresh air at a mild level all of the time, and at an extreme level during an asthmatic attack.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people consult osteopaths and it is for this reason that we are true experts in dealing with back pain of all types and severity. Currently, back pain affects over 80% of the population at some stage of their lives, and the pain may vary from a slight niggling ache to sharp debilitating pain that can affect every part of the back and also radiate to other areas of the body too.

I came to see Ben with my very unsettled 11 week old. I noticed a difference instantly and after three sessions she is such a different baby. I get comments from people that she is the happiest baby they have ever seen. I also booked in to take my six year old. I’m so pleased I took her too as she has benefitted so much from it. I have seen so many positive developments and changes in her since. Ben is wonderful with children and my six year old would look forward to their sessions. I’m so glad I decided to take them both and would recommend to anyone.

I liked Ben very much and was committed to a course with him. After the initial consultation he recommended a course of supplements and e mailed
who I should purchase them from. I was shocked to discover even with best prices that the cost was
Circa £112. I decided to check on line and found the same manufacturers the cost circa £36 !!
I queried this with Ben but got no reply.
I find this most unsatisfactory..one needs to be able to trust ones therapist. Such a pity.
This is the first poor review I have ever posted.

My newborn son was extremely unsettled. We received some useful advice on how to hold him to help relieve his symptoms and some work was done on us both. However I was told that my baby was "stressed out of his mind", that he felt unsafe with me and was in fight or flight mode, and that this was caused by my own stress. As a struggling first time mum of a colicky reflux baby who hadn't slept in months, unfortunately I left the appointment even more stressed and guilty than before.

After being recommended by a friend, Ben helped me so much with my back pain. When I first went to see Ben I had been in pain for several months (and tried everything I could think of) It improved hugely after only a few sessions. I am very grateful for his help and would highly recommend his Osteopathy :)

Fantastic work by Ben in helping my 11yr old son (with Aspergers) manage his emotions and fight or flight responses to stress. His anxiety levels are much reduced and he’s calmer when under pressure. A very positive experience for him, which is vital to any child on the spectrum. Ben’s work is highly recommended by us!

Initially I was a little skeptical but hopeful; Ben has really helped myself and my son over the past couple of months. My body has struggled to recover after having a C Section & the sessions are helping massively. My little boy has really struggled from birth with feeding and colic type symptoms and has now been diagnosed with CMPA. Bens hard work has meant we’ve no longer got an unhappy, screaming baby...we’ve got our life back! Thank you Ben!

I first met Ben when i had my daughter Siena back in 2012 but It turned out that i was the one who needed more of his help. I was secretly struggling with postnatal anxiety and everything that comes with being a first time mummy and i can honeslty say that I dont know how i would've coped without his help !!! When i got pregnant again with my… two boys, Seamus (2013) and Spike ( 2017) , Ben helped me throughout my pregnancies ,and straight after birth, helping me to cope with the aches and pains but also with my anxiety. My children love going to see Ben the " otopath" as they call him

Despite having no idea (even though he has explained it a lot - blame my brain!) of how it works, I just know that it does work! Both my pregnancies were supported by Ben - easing any aches and twinges and calming babe-in-situ. Both boys were treated straight after they were born to help them with the huge trauma of birth and have thrived with Ben’s support ever since. He’s also pretty darn good at straightening kinks out of damaged adult bodies too. Can’t recommend him highly enough!!
