Why Our Clients Love Us

I had been suffering with a very loud humming and ringing in my head since early childhood. I had tried various doctors and specialists but no one was able to help me. To compound these issues I developed anxiety as a result of the loud humming. My stress levels have reduced by 80% since seeing Dr Ashburner and I no longer feel anxious as a result of the constant hum as it has all but gone.

Hannah Currier

The very first time I heard of osteopathy was through my mom. She was sitting at a doctor’s waiting room and was browsing through a random magazine. She was captured by a title that says “Osteopathy and Conception”. This showed an osteopath (Dr Guy)doing a treatment similar to a chiropractor and a physiotherapist. However, the name osteopath suggested to her that there was more to be offered. My mom was convinced this is what I needed and will yield results. She had also noted my bad posture which she thought needed help. When I told my husband, he just shrugged his shoulders and gave me a go ahead to give it a try.

Livhalani

For as long as I can remember I’ve suffered with bad posture, lower back pain and very stiff shoulders that caused headaches. Over the years I’ve tried everything with little to no effect. I was only looking for relief until I accidentally discovered Guy Ashburner. This was a true live changer. I’ve only been seeing him for 2 months. Since the first time I saw him I haven’t experienced any backpain. The stiffness and pain from my shoulder have completely disappeared after the second time. I would be forever grateful to Dr. Guy Ashburner for giving.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy focused on treating pain and improving overall health by working with the body’s structure—bones, muscles, and joints. Unlike conventional medicine, osteopathy addresses the root cause of issues rather than just symptoms, making it an effective treatment for conditions like back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and headaches.

Through gentle techniques like stretching, mobilization, and manipulation, osteopaths help relieve pain, improve mobility, and support natural healing. This holistic approach promotes overall well-being, ensuring your body functions at its best.

Osteopathy is a natural, drug-free way to manage and prevent pain.
