Mark has been treating me for about 6 months and I'm back pain free after 15+ years! He quickly diagnosed the root cause of the problem and set me progressive daily exercises to complete between treatments. He's really personable and always gives great advice. I can't recommend Mark enough. Booking of appointments was really easy and reception staff friendly and helpful.

I've been having treatment at Woodside for over a year now and it has really helped to get on top of what I thought were just aches and pains I had to live with! Everyone is friendly and professional and it is a relaxing place to be. I cannot recommend them any higher, in particular Damini Gorsia who has been guiding my treatment - she's fantastic!

I see Dawn quarterly to manage referred pain caused by knee arthritis. She not only does a fantastic deep tissue massage, she also takes time to consider a holistic approach to my overall health. She's given me so many tips on managing pain and stiffness, exercise and gadgets so that I can live a more active life while managing my dodgy knees. She has helped enormously and I cannot recommend her enough!

I was given an appointment really quickly which was fantastic as I am experiencing neck pain.
The receptionist and osteopath were extremely professional, clear and the whole clinic felt very safe in terms of covid procedures.
Max did and excellent job, both explaining the issues and coming up with solutions.
Thanks very much!

My first time going to an Osteopath. Everyone is so nice and made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in. Andy was so good at explaining what he was going to do and showing what it all meant. It is great that they can accommodate late evening appointments. I felt very safe in terms of COVID and would recommend this place to anyone!

I found Woodside via Google and reviews were excellent.
I booked my newborn in with Cranial Osteopath Lucy as he had a 1 sided flatness to his head.
Lucy was brilliant - she quickly identified an issue with his neck which was causing the flatness - after a few appointments this was fixed and she is now working on his skull. We are already seeing amazing results. Thank goodness we didn’t go down the invasive and non guaranteed helmet route.
I highly recommend Lucy.

Able to offer a quick appointment considering the pandemic restrictions. Mark was able to identify and advise on the cause of my back problem and recommended some really helpful exercises and alternative pain relief solutions other than taking pain killers! Super service, professional, supportive and caring - just didn't support the same football team !! Thank you.

Service was brilliant from booking to the actual treatment. Everyone was friendly and the receptionist put me at ease straight away as this was my first visit to an osteopath. The session was relaxed, friendly, informative and I walked out feeling physically better and mentally more positive about finally getting my back sorted. Top clinic worth every penny.

Woodside's got your back

In a word, excellent! I have been attending the Woodside Osteopathic Clinic in Hitchin for a number of years now and have a regular 6 monthly check up with Anisha. She is the reason why I no longer suffer from persistent back pain, something which plagued me for some considerable time. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm is matched only by her… expertise and professionalism. She is passionate about what she does and has always been willing to give me advice when sought. I had no hesitation in referring members of my family to the clinic and they are now regular clients of Anisha. I can't

I’ve been going to Woodside for about 10 years and hope they will always be around. Anisha keeps me on my feet by doing maintenance upkeep on my back to stop me seizing up. Can’t praise her and her colleagues enough, not sure what I’d do without them all. Would have no hesitation at all in recommending them.
