Well being
"I think of Steve as Master Qi. Sensational. His deep qi bodywork relaxes and re-charges me like nothing else can." - Thomas
"I've been seeing Steve for a recurring tendon problem and have found acupuncture, sometimes in combination with other treatments, to be very beneficial. Additionally I've found Steve's general openness in discussing different options, and working with me holistically on my journey towards recovery, to be very refreshing and inspiring." - Anna Maria
"I would highly recommend Steve for treatment for hay fever. Our teenage son suffered hay fever symptoms in spring and summer for several years and had been taking regular medication. Treatment from Steve cured the symptoms completely so medication was no longer needed. Steve repeated the treatment a year later with the same success. Steve also treated our son for migraine headaches and this has proved to be successful. We would recommend Steve to others with similar problems or who require similar treatments." - Gary and Deborah, London

Shoulder and Migraines
"I was suffering from recurring, dull migraines that had become a daily occurrence and were also causing neck, shoulder and upper back pain. A few needles were inserted in targeted areas and the session finished with a massage and a talk on what to expect next and some recommended exercises. After two sessions the back and shoulder pain and migraines had completely disappeared. Since then I have been doing my recommended exercises and have thankfully been relieved of all pain. Steve is knowledgeable, experienced and professional which makes it really easy to recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture." - Rupali
"Steve has helped me enormously with tension and upper back problems. He has a variety of treatments to suit differing conditions and adapts his techniques. I would highly recommend acupuncture for any back condition or even headaches and other complaints. You never know if it could help". - Nicola

Lower back pain and other

"I have visited Steve twice over the last two months. Huge improvement in my back - he has clearly managed to release some very tight muscle problems from old injuries. I would not go to acupuncture except for the fact that it works so well. I will be going back to him again for a few more sessions. Steve comes highly recommended." - Simon
"Steve has been keeping my sciatic symptoms in check after I broke my back a couple of years ago. I wouldn't go anywhere else, his prices are great and he really understands the way the body works." - Phil
"I've been to see Steve for two different things with great success. Firstly he treated me for a recurring lower back problem that I had been trying unsuccessfully to treat through physio. After 3-4 sessions after applying needles to my legs the problems cleared. On the second occasion I had a sharp pain in my heel diagnosed by my GP as plantar fasciitis (runner's heel) I was told to rest and take painkillers, the prognosis was for a 3-4 month recovery period - instead I went back to Steve who applied needles to my calf muscles and the heel pain disappeared after two sessions. I'm shocked at how successful his treatment has been." - Matt
"After experience progressive chronic back problems for almost 12 months, and seeing physios and a chiropractor, I was introduced to Steve. Steve's approach was brilliant, right from the start. His attitude was holistic, identifying early the connection between my whole body and my back. He explored the way I walked, my posture, my medical history and where years of sport had impacted my back. Very quickly I started to feel relief and also to understand the reasons why I was in pain. Amazingly, Steve never had to do much directly to my back, but rather found my legs were the issue due to tight muscles out of alignment. His approach was to release that tension and the results were excellent. This approach also showed how Steve is not wedded to a pre-conceived judgement of what causes pain and how this benefits diagnosis. I am now pain free after just 6 sessions and also better understand the things I can do to improve and protect my back. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steve to anyone suffering back pain due to his common sense approach, excellent knowledge of how the body works, friendly demeanour and - most importantly - his achievement of results." - Warrick
"I came to see Steve to treat knee pain I was experiencing whilst running and almost daily back pain following a lower spinal fracture some years ago. Steve analysed my posture and the way I move to identify the root causes of the pain. After 3 sessions on my lower back and legs the pain had totally gone from my back and knee. I even competed in a triathlon involving a 16km run with no knee pain at all - the first time I had no knee pain running for over three years. I was really impressed by Steve's holistic approach and incredibly effective results. Having resigned myself to constantly being in some level of pain for the rest of my life, it has been such a relief to find some respite. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and have already done so to a number of my friends." - Susannah
"I had a knee arthroscopy last year. After the operation and rehab I wasn't able to play football after extreme pain after playing. I retired from playing. I was experiencing pain at night and when walking up hills. I tried osteopathy and physio without any joy. As an acupuncturist myself I knew what to try and where. Then I met Steve, a fellow acupuncturist. He said he'd be able to help as he'd had good results with treating knee pain. After one session I never had any more pain. I had three sessions in all and noticed considerable change in my flexibility and movement. Amazingly I have now cancelled my follow up with scans and operations and have gone back to the football field with no problems. I would recommend him very highly." - John Wheeler Acupuncturist
My leg being untwisted has made skiing SO much easier! Thank you! - Helen
