With 200+ 5 star reviews across Google, Facebook & FRESHA, check out what my patients have to say and why you should choose Melvyn Hughes Osteopathy today!

When I first saw Melvyn, I had lower back pain for 15 years, which was gradually worsening. Having decided to start a family I knew that I would experience added pressure on my back and that would make the pain even worse. Right from the beginning I felt very comfortable in Melvyn’s presence. His approach was professional and he adjusted the treatment to my needs. The treatment was always very well explained, gentle (very important to me as I’m pregnant now) and most of all effective. I have found Melvyn to have a wide range of corrective techniques and lots of follow up advice. I had lower back pain to the extent that I could only sleep curled up on one side, after a couple of treatments I could uncurl when sleeping and after four I could return to sleeping on my back. Now I’m back to my normal self, with very few movement restrictions, my only regret being that I didn’t do this sooner. I’m hugely grateful to Melvyn for the way he changed my life that is now pain free and so much more comfortable. I’m absolutely certain that when my baby is born, I’ll take it to the clinic for cranial osteopathic treatment.

I have been a patient of Melvyn’s for the last year and would highly recommend him. Melvyn has always been courteous and professional and takes the time to talk to his patients in order to gain a thorough understanding of the issues. He is very knowledgeable and I have always found his treatment to be very effective.

Highly recommend Melvyn, a really nice person who takes the time to listen. He has sorted my back out on a number of occasions and it always feels so much better afterwards. Great service.

Having had back pain for most of my life, seen numerous people to no avail, I can’t recommend Melvyn highly enough. Nothing helped but since seeing Melvyn I have noticed a huge difference in my pain.

I have a history of lower lumber issues and sciatica and recently had a car accident which compounded my problems. I have a bulging disc and acute sciatica where the NHS can only offer me medication for pain management. Melvyn has healing hands!!!! He has provided several treatments over the last few weeks, including acupuncture to compliment the osteopathy, and I’ve gone from 100% pain down to 20% and now moments of being pain free which anyone with back issues will know is amazing. THANK YOU Melvyn, looking forward to my next session..... and many more!

I really enjoyed my first visit with Melvyn. He has a really good set up very clean and professional. Melvyn was really professional and listened to my issues throughout the consultation and understood clearly what he can do to help. Treatment was great as it’s my first time getting an acupuncture. After the “click out” session I genuinely felt better. It made my neck and shoulders feel much better than when I initially walked in. I have decided not to leave without re-booking. Definitely recommend a visit.

I first met Melvyn a year ago, right away he was able to see how to keep my shoulder working and enabled me to play golf each week. Treatment was at first very gentle and I encouraged a firmer approach which he managed very well and brought all his knowledge to me in our monthly meetings. His recommended exercises not only keep my shoulder working but also improved my golf, I always felt my welfare was important to him and never felt he was rushing to move on to his next appointment. Although I am 70 plus he made me feel younger and able to achieve much more than I really felt able to, well done him, for I feel much fitter and stronger after my year with him than I have before.

Melvyn has been treating my back for about 3 years now. I find his approach always very professional, kind and caring. He listens attentively and thoughtfully to what I tell him, giving due consideration to how he proceeds with treatment. This includes massage, acupuncture and osteopathy. I have become brave now with osteopathic technique due to Melvyn’s gentle encouragement. I would highly recommend him as a practitioner.

I’ve been to visit Melvyn a handful of times and I highly recommend him. He’s very professional, considerate and does a really good job. He talks you through step by step, makes you feel comfortable and does his absolute best in helping you with your situation. He’s helped me with my shoulder/neck problems a great deal. Thank you!

It was perfect.

Amazing osteopath who took time with my 11 year old son to assess and treat him. He couldn’t weight bare with a poorly knee. Only 3 visits later he’s back to his basketball playing self! Thank you so much.

My 10 year old Son suffers with pain in his ankles, especially after exercise. The condition, known as Sever’s Disease, is something that my Son will have until he is fully grown so I wanted to get some advice on how best to manage this. Melvyn was very informative with how to relieve the pain and gave us some great advice going forward. He was very easy to talk to and made my Son feel comfortable during acupuncture. The pain has definitely improved since we have been going. Thank you very much.
