Clevedon Osteopath Practice

For me an osteopath is a much quicker way to sort out a bad back than going to your doctor and wait for them to refer you after «resting» it for a fortnight. In fact I’ve now used three different osteopaths, not because the previous ones were bad it’s just they’ve retired and I’ve moved house. In fact my first osteopath was a blind guy which was interesting — he sorted my back pain in one session which was pretty impressive.
James at Clevedon Osteopath was brilliant (he was fully sighted as far as I’m aware), he took time to understand my situation, talked constantly, telling me what he was doing (that’s a good thing by the way) and really made a difference. At the end of the second session we’d made real progress, enough that I don’t think I need to go back again. The important bit here was that he was happy for me to make that decision, I was pressured to continue treatment and he left it with me.
The practice itself is in a nice old building which I’m guessing was once a home but is a smart, brightly lit, professional feeling environment.
My knowledge of backs and the treatment is very limited but James seemed to really know his stuff, was able to talk about recent studies and took an interest in my situation — I certainly didn’t feel like another number (or back) being crunched. If you’ve got a bad back, skip the doctor and for a very reasonable amount you can get rid of that pain a lot quicker.
