Testimonials
"Due to a bad fall several months earlier, my left leg and arm became quite stiff and increasingly painful. Eventually, the leg pain was keeping me awake at night, which is why I made an appointment with Jenny Howell. Her treatment over the next few weeks worked wonders! She is meticulous in all her work, from diagnosis to physical manipulation. I am now out of pain, while the residual stiffness is disappearing fast as treatment continues. I strongly recommend Jenny to anyone who is looking for an osteopath who is both effective and understanding."

I contacted Jenny having found her via a Google search. With intense treatment & extremely useful exercises, Jenny has virtually returned me to normality. She is a wonderful kind hearted soul, caring, understanding & with healing hands.
I will be eternally grateful for all her advise, treatment & guidance. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her osteopathic treatment to all.

I spend long periods of time at a computer and because of this and the stress of meeting tight deadlines, I experienced a lot of pain in my neck, shoulder and arm. I had little movement in my neck and was having difficulty turning my head. I was experiencing discomfort at night while sleeping. However, after only a few sessions with Jenny, things got sorted through massage and manipulation.
She gave me a series of exercises to do, which I still do, and recommended a pilates class. I haven't had any trouble since. I think anyone who spends a long period of time in front of a computer should see an osteopath regularly to ensure they are not doing any lasting damage due to stress and poor posture.
