My Reviews
Christine Hathway
So pleased to have found Leon. Whether it’s pain from stress, sport or long standing creakiness he’s always been able to help. I like his friendly and focused approach. An inspired and very effective osteopath.

Leon is a genius osteopath, intuitive and effective. I was recommended by a friend and I’ve been coming back since, I notice the biggest difference right away. Highly recommend
Kathy Richardson
Leon is a brilliantly skilled Osteopath. Whilst making you feel very cared for he also articulates what he is working on to help us understand our bodies better. As a dancer he is aware of the demands on the body and works with you to bring about ultimate function and comfort in movement, also suggesting exercises to do outside of the therapy room so you have knowledge to take away with you. Couldn't recommend enough

I went to Leon with a back problem that has troubled me for years. In a single session he identified the problem and gave me some exercises to work with at home. He didn't tell me that I needed to come back for a follow up, but left it to me to contact him if I felt the need. That single session has completely changed my attitude to my back. I'm no longer terrified when I feel it twinge that if I carry on exercising to keep fit it will lead to long term disaster. I now turn to the exercises he gave me to settle it and carry on. Brilliant.

I’ve suffered back pain two to three times a year since my children were one, largely due to lifting them at odd angles. I've previously seen osteopaths on an ad hoc basis to 'fix me up' but Leon was the first osteopath I saw who left me with a set of exercises that not only saw off the immediate pain, but (so far and fingers crossed) have also prevented recurrence. He was like a back magician! It's also worth noting he treated me with a home visit that was extremely convenient.
