Tommy was very kind to have seen me at such short notice. Thoroughly professional in every way and the physiotherapy has helped greatly in reducing the pain I was in. I would be happy to recommend Better Body Therapy to family and friends.

Tommy was thorough and professional. Using his technical expertise and understanding he helped me work through my back pain issue and I definitely walked out of the session feeling taller! Would highly recommend.

I'd been suffering with tension headaches for many years and tried various forms of treatment without any success. After one session with Tommy, I had my first pain-free night in several months. Tommy is a lovely guy, really knows his stuff and is highly recommended.

Tommy is first class. I suffer from chronic pain and restricted mobility due to foraminal stenosis in my neck that worsened the last few years. I’ve tried everything; public, private and specialised. Now, after a few sessions of hands-on treatment and rehab exercises, I feel a positive shift... I can’t recommend him enough.
James L.
Tommy was recommended to me for issues with my back and ongoing sciatic pains. I practically skipped home after my first appointment! He was very thorough in understanding my challenges and then working on them. He is clearly very knowledgeable.
Ross M.
If I could give Tommy 10 stars, I would. I have been suffering with Bursitis in my hips since Dec. Even after seeing a Doctor and being referred to a physio, the pain was getting worse... Tommy has been amazing! My husband is also seeing him now.
Hayley M.
Great experience and would highly recommend to people. I had an issue I was living with for about a year and Tommy fixed it in a couple of sessions.
Asim A.
I thoroughly recommend osteopath Tommy, he's really helped me with my plantar fasciitis developed through marathon training. He explained what he thought was happening at every stage... I'm now back running again - thank you, Tommy!
Anuschka N.
I’m so delighted with the treatment and sensible pace of new exercises which is working really well to improve my knee after a half replacement and general hip mobility. We consult and review each session... Top class.

Provided a service above and beyond. He was amazing to cater for my father's needs. I would recommend this to anyone who is recovering from a major stroke.
