Back Pain Testimonials

I have had pains in my leg which is caused by a slipped disc in my lower spine. I’ve been just sucking it up for the last few years, but a workmate put me on to Holly. She has changed my life. I honestly feel 5 years younger after seeing her. Holly is great with treatment, but she also explains what is going on and how I can do specific exercises and stretches to help with coping and recovery. Highly recommend.

I had an issue with my hip/back and was in so much pain movement was hard. Holly has been fantastic with working out what the actual issue was and treating accordingly. She explained everything so that I could understand and gave me detailed instructions so that I can carry on at home. I noticed a difference fairly quickly. I made the effort to take on board everything that was suggested to me. I really can’t thank Holly enough for all her help and support.

Holly is phenomenal!! Knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about providing appropriate care and plans for recovery. I had been seen by multiple health practitioners over a period of 6 months, yet no answers, and pain remained the same. After one visit with Holly, she referred me to back specialists – who then organised an MRI and diagnosed me with a herniated disk. Having answers and continued support/advice from Holly I feel I am on the right road to recovery. Thank you Holly for being the amazing person you are.

Holly is fantastic. She is very skilled and recently helped me work through a back injury. I went from being limited in movement to back working out like normal in a matter of months. From the moment I walk in, I feel at ease, and she always considers my overall health. Top notch care and I would highly recommend

Neck Pain Testimonials

I’ve been going to Holly for a few years now, and she is honestly the best!! She has helped with my back, shoulders and neck pain even my nerve pain in my arms and gives me great exercises to do at home. She is great at what she does! Highly recommended. I love going to see Holly.

Holly has been outstanding. A highly skilled and knowledgeable osteopath, Holly very quickly identified the cause of my ongoing back and neck pain. Her holistic and practical approach to treatment was incredibly effective and I’m now pain-free after struggling for a number of years. If you are someone who has been struggling with ongoing pain, then I highly recommend Holly.

Chronic Pain Testimonials

The treatment I have received under Holly’s skilled hands has been amazing. I struggled for years with a series of seemingly unconnected aches, pains and problems with my joints. But after taking the time to really find out plenty about the issues, Holly was not only able to find a solution that nobody else had worked out, but she also identified a single underlying cause to the separate problems. Her treatment also started to take effect immediately. The environment she creates around her is also great, it completely puts you at ease and is all part of the treatment. She’s very easy to talk to and get along with too, which I found helpful. I don’t think I’ve ever met a therapist who knows her stuff as well as Holly, or who had treated me as effectively. Very highly recommended.

After years of physio on a back/hip issue, I changed direction, desperate to feel good again. Holly is pure magic…she listens, is super knowledgeable and is so informative but keeps it simple. Your homework is key, it’s a partnership and Holly is worth partnering with!

Holly has been outstanding to deal with. Recently Holly has been helping me through a number of short-term injuries and are now helping me to resolve my long-term knee issues. The service and commitment to improving wellbeing has been amazing.

Headache & Migraine Testimonials

Having suffered from headaches for months, which were bad and continuous, no painkiller would truly get on top of them. I was seen by Holly, a highly skilled and professional practitioner. With intense treatment, she managed to get everything aligned and stacked up straight and within 4 weeks the headaches where gone. I feel so much better now. Do not suffer, go see these people. Holly, you are awesome.

I see Holly once every fortnight and have for almost a year. Initially, I came to her to seek help with my migraine management. She has truly changed my life; my migraines have decreased dramatically and we’re now in a place where we are working together to get my whole body feeling better. She has been amazing, talking me through every step and ensuring I feel in control of my journey. I look forward to seeing her every session and after seeing many different physios and acupuncturists she is the first person to really listen to my story and make a difference to my body’s overall health and wellbeing.

I suffered from debilitating migraines for three years before seeing Holly. I have tried absolutely everything and seen several specialists, but I did not notice a reduction in my migraines until I saw Holly. Alongside in-appointment treatment, Holly has supported me with at-home exercises as well as lifestyle/diet changes to help reduce my migraines and it has made a world of difference. I went from having a severe migraine a week, alongside countless low-grade headaches, to not having experienced a migraine in weeks and far less low-grade headaches. Holly is passionate about keeping her patients informed and she is warm and inviting at all of our appointments. I highly recommend going to see Holly Westwood!

Sports Injury Testimonials

I’m a very active person, so, as a result, I am quite ‘high risk’. Holly has been my guardian angel; I’m telling you, if it weren’t for her, I would be one very broken person. Holly and her wealth of knowledge has guided me through my extensive list of injuries, aches and pains, and (bonus!) she even helped me with some health issues I was experiencing as well. I call Holly the ‘Jack of All Trades’ as she is my osteopath, chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage therapist, health coach, and life coach. If you are a ‘high risk’ athlete like I am, or if you just want an osteopath who is straightforward, extremely knowledgeable, and honest, look no further than Ms Holly Westwood!

Jaw, TMJD & Sinus Testimonials

I saw Holly today. The BEST consultation I’ve ever had. Incredibly thorough. I felt reassured that my whole body and health was taken care of by a compassionate caring, knowledgeable person with a great personality. I highly recommend going to see her.

Knee Pain Testimonials

Hip Pain Testimonials

I had such chronic, severe pain in one of my hips, I couldn’t walk any distance, couldn’t lift my leg without significant discomfort and was taking regular painkillers to be able to sleep at night. I started seeing Holly who immediately took a keen interest in my health and wellbeing, provided immediate relief from the pain through her treatment and set me daily exercises. Shortly after, an x-ray revealed I have osteoarthritis in my hip. Since then, Holly has provided me with lots of information about this condition and how it can be managed through exercise, diet (to reduce inflammation) and supplements. She coached me through a period when the exercises seemed to make things worse (in terms of pain) and reassured me this was part of the process of strengthening the muscles around the hip joint and teaching my brain that I could do the movements without risk of damage to any other part of my body. Trusting Holly, I persevered with the exercise and now experience long periods each day with no pain at all. I can walk longer distances, run upstairs and sometimes forget I have osteoarthritis. I can honestly say my trust in Holly has been hugely rewarded and I am very grateful to her for the wonderful care she has provided me with over the past few months. I would highly recommend Holly as a great Osteopath who is very passionate about the health and wellbeing of her clients. Thank you Holly

Posture Testimonials

I’ve been seeing Holly for over a year now, and she’s been incredible with my various injury recoveries, as well as resolving and managing everyday pain. She’s attentive and considerate and has been an amazing advocate for my health. Her approach is kind and compassionate, always taking the time to listen and explain everything thoroughly. If you’re looking for a skilled practice to help with recovery or maintenance, this is the one you’re looking for.

Systemic Testimonials

I came to Holly about a year ago after I read a review on how amazing and different the experience was with her as an osteopath. By that time, I’d been searching for an Osteo for quite some time and tried different offers but couldn’t find the one I would stay with. With Holly from the first visit, I loved it. She helped me to recover from a very stressful period in my life, where my body was not in a good condition; helped to build my health plan and supported me on every step adjusting visits to suit my best. Now I feel so much better & have a routine to keep me up and come to Holly as needed. She is a very energetic and positive person, so every appointment is like a boost for the body & a spark of joy. I would highly recommend Holly!

I can highly recommend Holly Westwood. Her skills are exceptional and along with her holistic approach I feel now amazing. She has helped me in so many ways. I’m very grateful to have found her.

Holly is a highly skilled, compassionate and holistic osteopath. I feel empowered and hopeful during and after our sessions. I am supposed to have agency in my recovery, I know I am literally safe in her hands.

Shoulder Pain Testimonials

I’m really happy with my treatment with Holly Westwood. She is taking care of my lower back and my shoulder, and I got great results in less than a month. Her diagnose was confirmed by a scan she requested. Her pragmatic and gentle approach has proven effective for me. I have noticed a change in my posture, increased mobility and pain relief. Highly recommend her.
