  I have chronic back pain following an accident I sustained 17 years ago. It didn’t cause me any real problems until a year or so ago, at which point I went in search of an osteopath. I really landed on my feet when I chose Joe. Although I can never hope for a 100% cure to my back issue, Joe has managed to take me from pain levels of 7 or 8 down to 1 or less and a lot of time I forget I ever had a bad back!  I also wasn’t sleeping well due to the pain but now sleep really well every night. He has achieved that by 10 or so sessions of working on my back, layer by layer and explaining in layman’s terms everything he’s doing so that when I’m working through the 3 x daily exercise plan he’s devised for me at home, I can feel the healing, ever so slowly, taking place, so it’s a joint effort for sure. It has taken a while but it feels fantastic now! I would happily recommend Joe to anyone and it almost feels a shame that our sessions are coming to a close as he’s also very good company.  We are always putting the world to rights!

  Joe is an exceptional osteopath who embodies knowledge, kindness, and professionalism, everything I hoped to find. Recommended by family members who have relied on his services for years, Joe has provided me with invaluable insights and effective treatment. I am thrilled with the progress I've made under his care, experiencing significant improvements in mobility and strength for a long-standing issue. I couldn't be happier with my ongoing treatment and wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone seeking top-notch osteopathic care.

  I cannot recommend THE BATH PRACTICE highly enough! I have been to 3 of their practitioners so far and found them to be very engaging, warm, simpatico, and extremely capable .They always go the extra mile to help as well as charging very reasonably.

  I've accessed the Osteopathy at Bath Practice for nine or ten years. I've had to manage back issues since a teen so it's important that I have a therapist that I trust and who understands how to treat the issues that present. Joe has treated me since he took over the practice a few years ago. What stands out about Joe is his depth of holistic knowledge regarding health and wellbeing and that he offers osteopathic treatments combined with acupuncture. I'm grateful to Joe for the support and treatments that I have along my journey as the pain I face can be debilitating and impact on my mental wellbeing. Thankfully, when flare ups occur, I know there is somewhere/someone I can turn to who has the ability to treat me to get me back (no pun intended) to the business as usual status quo which makes life a  more happy, pain free life.

  I have been seeing osteopath Joe regularly for over a year. My goal is to get strong in the gym, and this doesn't come without its challenges, but Joe has been there to help me through all of them. During our sessions, we have worked on my lower back/sciatica issues, mobility, rotator cuff issues, forearm/grip issues, as well as overall posture and freedom of movement in both my upper and lower body, particularly to help me towards my strength goals. As well as giving me fantastic treatment, Joe has recommended exercises and supplements to try between sessions to further improve my results. In particular, the rotator cuff strengthening focus has almost entirely eliminated my issues with several pushing movements, including flat and incline bench and shoulder press. I am now seeing Joe fortnightly in order to keep me healthy and strong and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone with strength goals in mind who wish to have someone keeping their body in the best possible condition.
