Testimonials
I recently had a recurrence of the sciatic pain after a particularly grueling drive in heavy traffic on the M1. In very heavy traffic I was forced to keep my legs in one position - hovering over the accelerator - for several hours and for the next few days suffered for it. I realised that the previous bout also came after a long drive up to Norfolk.
I thought of calling you but in fact the exercises you gave me solved it - thus doing you out of a job I'm afraid!

I started seeing Jenny in April 2019 after getting persistent lower back pain which was causing me real issues. She was welcoming, professional, thorough, and I felt like she was listening carefully to what I said, examining me and treating me well accordingly. I went for two appointments a week at the start, then it went down to one a week as I improved. After about a month I was much better thanks to her care. She was very flexible with appointment times which was helpful. Thank you very much Jenny, I will be back if I have issues again.

I recently visited Jenny with a couple of nasty back problems, and came away after three sessions with her a new man. She quickly identified my problems were based mainly on the poor postural habits that I had
slipped into, particularly while at my desk. After some well-targeted manipulation, by practicing the simple but very effective exercises that she suggested to me, and after applying her suggestions about my bad posture, my pain disappeared very quickly. I cannot recommend her too highly, and I will certainly return to her without hesitation if I slip back into my bad ways.
