"Having strained a back muscle quite severely, I sought the osteopathic services
of Michelle Spencer. The initial consultation consisted of a very in-depth Q&A session aimed at finding out what my physical
lifestyle was like, followed by a thorough visual and physical assessment of my body's condition from head to toe. This
was followed by a short session of manipulation to locate and ease the discomfort. At the end of the consultation, movement
was already much easier and Michelle provided me with advice, which was followed up in an e-mail, detailing the exercises
I needed to complete to assist my recovery.
After two equally professional treatments, my condition was sufficiently
restored to "normal" with full, fluid movement regained in my lower back. At this point, Michelle advised me that
I should only come back if I felt that I needed further treatment. Proof if it were needed, that this is more of a vocation
than a business to her. Her personal disposition is both warm and caring, immediately putting you at your ease. I will have
no hesitation in either using Michelle's services again should the need arise, or recommending her to anyone looking
for an osteopath."

"I found Michelle extremely professional in her treatment of my back pain. She
took a thorough history and spent time getting to know how my pain occurred and how my lifestyle might affect it. Her
treatment was very effective and I will definitely use her again if I suffer in the future." E. Harrison, Hertford, February 2010
"Having had a healthy pregnancy and been very active
regularly exercising throughout, I found it very painful and frustrating to suddenly - a couple months before the end
- get pain in the lower back/upper leg which the midwfie diagnosed as sciatica relating to the pregnancy. I went
to Michelle in a lot of pain and hobbling with a walking stick. Michelle was excellent - after a couple of
sessions the pain had improved enormously and before the end of my pregnancy I was back swimming and without the walking
stick. I can highly recommend her, obviously very knowledgeable as an osteopath but also very professional, friendly
and down to earth so put me at ease."

"Dear Michelle,
I just wanted to send
you a quick note to say thank you for correcting my back problem and ridding me of the pain I was suffering. From my first
appointment I felt that you took the time to understand my problem and in turn explained very carefully how I had injured
myself and how it could be treated. I was very pleased that it was corrected in such a short time frame and that you have
taught me how to keep my back safe and regularly exercisd in the correct manner.
Thank you once again for your help."

"I can
thoroughly recommend the Hertford Osteopath to anyone suffering with back pain. From my initial appointment, Michelle
was great at explaining the treatment, talking through possible causes and how to avoid strains and stresses. There
was constant evaluation throughout my treatment, and the advice and support Michelle provided, with stretches and exercises,
made it easy to make a difference between appointments too. Friendly and natural throughout, this treatment has
made a huge difference and the pain has now disappeared. Thank you Michelle."

"Michelle
listened very carefully to my concerns, took a detailed case history and then proceeded to assess my back, postural
alignments, legs and I am sure much more. Michelle explains what she is doing throughout the process. The treatment
was excellent and effective. Michelle ensured that I could do the exercises (simple ones) to help maintain the good
work she had done."
