All our staff have now received at least one vaccination and are looking forward to our second doses. Many patients become frustrated that their symptoms limit their lifestyle. We offer treatment and advice to help our patients take control of their symptoms so they are free to enjoy an active lifestyle.
We help our patients achieve their desired outcomes - whether it's work-related, playing sport or general lifestyle - by helping reduce symptoms and improving musculoskeletal health. We understand that each patient has a different ambition. For some it might be to shave 15 minutes from a marathon time; for others it might be to walk to the newsagents without pain, or taking a rest, and for others it could be just to return to work.

My name is Susie Alderson and I'm a Nutrition, Fitness and Health Coach. People turn to me when they feel they have less energy than they would like, when they are fed up with the slow but sure weight gain and want help to manage the little health niggles that seem to be arriving each year.
I use a combination of nutritional therapy (the science of what to eat), motivational coaching, stress management techniques, reflexology and personal training to help you reach your health goals.Each programme is unique to you. I pride myself on making sure my clients receive the best possible personal, individually tailored treatments to help them look and feel their best.

I have been going to Berkhamsted Osteopaths regularly for over ten years and would not hesitate in recommending them. Any back or muscular problems I have had have always been successfully resolved. Tim and Juliet run a very friendly and professional practice. After a very painful and bad back, they had me back playing golf again after a short series of treatments.
It is often difficult to know who to contact when you have musculoskeletal symptoms. At Berkhamsted Osteopaths we offer a phone call from our practitioners for you to discuss your symptoms before you book an appointment so we can direct you to the most suitable practitioner. Just visit our contact page and we will call you back within 24 working hours.

Discrimination. Unbelievable. I have actually used this osteopath myself a few times and the care is reasonable but they have a mask policy that seems to have not appreciated the change in the UK in the last 6 months.
They seem to seek to enforce a mask wearing policy (in contradiction to their sign) but do not undertake other advice such as ventilation which is known to be far more effective in control of disease.
Last straw for me today when I found out after recommending my girlfriend attends, who is exempt from mask wearing, they made her wait in the rain outside for her appointment. Simply

I cannot recommend highly enough, Tim, Juliet, Clare, Bobby, Charlie and Jason and the team at Berkhamsted Osteopaths. I have been a patient on and off for a number of years, and every 'bout' of treatments has been dealt with professionally and efficiently, and my problem has been resolved. The reception staff are always welcoming and friendly. An excellent practice.

I was suffering with a slipped disc and sciatic pain for almost a year, I could not sit down for longer than 5/10 minutes and the only exercise that I could tolerate was walking. I had tried physio, visited a chiropractor, sports massages, but the pain did not go away. I was told by 2 consultants that my only option was surgery, and the day before… it was scheduled I came across a forum about IDD. I cancelled my surgery, and am now on my 19th session of IDD. The pain has gone from 7/10 to almost 0/10, and I feel like I have my life back. Thank you to Tim, Clare and Bobby for giving me the

I have an ongoing issue that flairs up from time to time and so see Juliet for both regular preventative therapy as well as emergency treatment in a crisis. She always manages to ease my suffering as well as offer practical advice to keep me active. She has an excellent knowledge and understanding of the issues affecting me and comes across as sensitive, caring and professional. In addition the receptionists are always kind and caring so that I always come away feeling cared for as a whole person. Thanks everyone.

I have used Berkhamsted Osteopaths on a number of occasions over a number of years now as and when I have had lower back problems. They are always careful and thorough in their assessment and treatment. They have always sorted my back out! It is a friendly and professional practice and I would highly recommend them.

I've been going to Berkhamsted Osteopaths for years, not because they can't fix me up again but because I work in the fitness industry and over the years have picked up a number of different injuries.
Both Tim and Juliet have always been there, last minute to sort out any issues and have me back teaching and fit again quickly. They're both very knowledgeable, and as sports people themselves I feel confident that they understand the importance for me to get back training again. Excellent! Highly recommend both of them and the rest of the team.

Absolutely fantastic! I can’t rate it highly enough. Developed a very painful neck which was keeping me awake at night. Diagnosed and treated in one appointment, and with one follow up treatment my neck feels better than ever. Welcoming staff who were really accommodating in rearranging an appointment at short notice and great treatment from Clare. Can’t ask for more!

I've been a regular patient of the practice for the last 20 years. I first saw Juliette and then Tim took over my treatment. Both are superb practitioners. They carefully explain what treatment is the best for you. They are always welcoming, professional and caring. I have seen them on average every couple of months and they literally keep me on my feet and pain free. Don't know what I would do without them.

After sustaining a back injury at the end of August the initial treatment from a different type of practitioner that I used to see didn’t work and things seemed to be going downhill.
After 2 weeks of increased pain I went to the doctors who prescribed medication for my now severe sciatic pain and also saw the NHS physio who gave me some exercises… to do. The pain was so intense sleeping was becoming a problem and driving almost impossible.
After no improvement after 2 months one of my customers suggested I go to see Tim Hanwell at Berkhamsted Osteopaths to enquire about IDD treatment

Currently on the IDD Therapy Treatment and cannot rate highly enough the dedication Clare and Tim have given to helping me get through a VERY painful compressed spine at L5 S1, I couldn't walk unaided,Stand,Sit still for any length of time, dress myself, do my laces etc, I was in a state and popping pain killers prescribed by the GP and in a very… low place. Had tried various other treatments elsewhere before finding out about the IDD Therapy Treatment, and in my locality to boot. This machine has given me back my life, I can't rave about it enough. If your in the same state I was in, then
