Working with Alan has been extremely informative and more than helpful. The nutritional information received was full on and there is a lot to digest, better than what I expected. Having started to implement some of the changes in my diet already I am sure that this is going to help me both physically and mentally. Thankyou Alan More...

I recently hit 60 and I've battled kidney stones since my mid 20's and here I am 6 urologists & countless scans & trips to A&E later still battling. That was until I came across Alan on my mission to figure out what is in my diet that is aggravating my body to such an extent. He is a true breath of fresh air, very personable, clearly packed full of knowledge and experience, very detailed and confidence inspiring. I already feel better both physically & mentally. Thanks so much Alan. More...

From the outset Alan was incredibly helpful. Firstly he telephoned me which was reassuring, then he followed that up with a detailed questionnaire and subsequently a very full report. The report covered generic information for overall health including things to avoid eating and drinking, but also the report covered specific information about my personal wellbeing and what would assist my particular condition. It was informative, easy to assimilate the information and he had no hesitation in answering in more specific detail any questions I had. Overall it was a very interesting, helpful and informative experience which has helped me enormously. More...

I first contacted Alan when I asked my doctor for a healthy diet after being diagnosed with diverticulitis, and she referred me to Google!
After contacting Alan, we had a conversation regarding my health issues and then he sent a comprehensive questionnaire to fill in and for that sent me a very interesting report with lots of suggestions to enhance my diet.
He suggested vitamins to add to my diet which I took on board
including Berbarine. I started taking them and had just finished my first pack of 60 tablets without noticing any significant changes, when I was asked by the doctor to have a diabetic blood test.
Going to get the results from the practice nurse, her first question was ‘what have you done’? When I looked worried she said ‘all your results have improved, blood sugar, liver, blood pressure was down’. She was very puzzled when nothing, except taking Burbarin had changed. I have had no recurrence of Diverticulitis, and feel really well.
I have told family and friends of how thrilled I am with Alan’s advice, and some are actually ordering the tablets for themselves.
I would definitely recommend Alan, and would have no hesitation telling anyone worrying about health problems to contact Alan Gordon - Health and Well-being

At 43 years of age and 20 years of acute nursing, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and a prolapsed disc in my spine, with severe damage to the end of the spine. I was at a loss of how to treat these conditions, given advice by Rheumatology NHS to go to Physio. I decided to Google private nutritionalists and had a very quick reply from Alan.
I was given over the phone advice on supplements and diet changes for the constant and debilitating fatigue and pain. I have stuck to the advice and after 2 weeks I have had 2 clear days, able to walk for 45 minutes without pain or too much fatigue. Long my it continue 🙏
Thank you so much Alan!

I probably expected too much. I only had two meetings with Alan and felt most of the time was taken up by general conversation with little concentration on my mobility problems or on the exercises he had given me.

Reply from Alan Gordon Health and Wellbeing

Being a lay person, so to speak, it's most unfortunate that Rosemary didn't grasp what was taking place when Alan tried to help her. Once he'd tested her personal movement/ Biomechanics, he knew precisely what was required ( he has an MSc. in Biomechanics & Applied Human Movement - along with 48 years of analysis experience) and the stretches ( all bodily specific to her personal physiology) that would steadily and safely progress her forward were produced for her, in photographs which had very specific. instructional guidance text for each photograph. Having what might appear to her to be "general conversations" actually contained various questions in there from Alan - which revealed further information that he needed to know, so in actual reality - there was never any lack of concentration regarding Rosemary's mobility problems. As a significantly elderly lady - Rosemary has postural issues that have been present for a considerable number of years, and those issues certainly need more than just a few weeks for any applied methodology, however biomechanically precise - to begin influencing her positively. However - after only a couple of weeks, Rosemary decided it wasn't for her and commented accordingly. I would wholeheartedly agree - that she expected too much too soon. Dianna Lloyd- Hughes. BSc.

I have had various health problems for several years, many of which are either caused or exacerbated by stress and anxiety. During that time, I have been given the runaround by my GPs' surgery, who basically gave me pills to try and no further advice or follow-ups. I don't even have a permanent GP, but see a different person every time. I have been feeling abandoned by the NHS.

So it was an absolute revelation to be introduced to Alan Gordon. He did a complete review of my situation and wrote an initial report, suggesting a number of supplements and other things I could do to improve things. We then had a long follow-up phone meeting in which we discussed his report and he explained the rationale behind his suggestions.

Alan's qualifications and experience speak for themselves, but even so I was hugely impressed by the depth of his knowledge and his great empathy. It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone at length who was prepared to take an overview of me as a whole person and talk me patiently through what I need to do to east the situation.

This first session and report were specifically about nutrition; Alan is shortly to do a Biomechanics session with me to discuss fitness and exercise.

I would definitely recommend Alan Gordon for any nutritional support and advice on the whole wellbeing of your body and mind. He’s an absolute lovely man too talk to with great advice. I wish I would have found him years ago, He’s so easy to talk to and makes you feel that you’ve been best friends for years. It’s not just a job for him he really cares about you and he’s interested in helping people rather than some others who are just in it for a wage. People like Alan are hard to find so if you find him like I did don’t look any further he’s the top man in his profession and a genuine man who really cares about your well-being. If I could give more stars I would but I think my finder would get sore with the amount he deserves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was delighted when I found Alan, as I had been looking for a proper professional, and with the knowledge & understanding of the health issues I have.
He has been of enormous help & support. I feel now that I am able to tackle the challenging issues I have with a good understanding of how my body works, and how best to support it.
His advice has not only given me new and valuable information, but reminded me of what I already knew that I'd forgotten, and I am happily deploying this knowledge to help myself.
Keep the good work going Alan.
I thoroughly recommend him...

I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, feeling tired, constant sore throats and unsure where to turn to next for help. I found Alan's details, from our first conversation, Alan listened and gave me brilliant advice regarding foods, supplements etc. After filling out a questionnaire, Alan called and went through various things with me. Alan explains his reasoning behind things and gave me informative advice. Alan responded to my messages quickly and efficiently. After months of searching and giving up hope of ever feeling better, i now feel i am on the right track to being the person i used to be. I would definitely recommend Alan to anyone wanting to get their health back on track. More...

I have had 3 meetings with Alan so far, the first for nutritional advice and the follow ups in terms of exercise and fitness. Alan is extremely knowledgeable and is always keen to give as much information as possible in each meeting. He follows up with emailed guidance which is helpful to me and will follow up with phone calls etc to ensure I am on the right track. I will be keeping up with these meetings as I am learning a lot, even though I have a degree in Physical Ed I am always happy to learn especially as Alan does specialise in those of us who are that bit older now!

Hadn't the faintest what a Biomechanist was, so googled it before getting in contact, and for my health, it was one of my best ever searches. After three months of unsuccessfully trying to knock my sore knees and back on the head, with gym and Pilates, I was more than a bit cheesed off. Alan's savvy exercise design and body knowledge was my solution and now it's both thumbs up to him for my trouble free knees and back. Try him out, he's the real deal smartie, who in my case, knew what needed doing to where, and exactly how much. More...

I was recovering from serious illness, with some significant stomach issues and was more than a bit worried about exercise. I needn't have been, as Alan took me right through the process to the present, and it's left me with a fit and capable body not to mention getting all my confidence back. He's a genuine Women's expert, there's no doubt about that. More...

After having quite a lot of personal training for quite a few years, I was pleasantly surprised as to how much more in depth and knowledgeable Alan was and his testing of my body was totally fascinating, both the extent of it and what it revealed, which had never been done before. Consider myself working with a realistic expert now, which sets my husband's mind at rest bless him!
I 100% recommend Alan.

I originally went to Alan Gordon because after my very long trawl through the complete listing of Oxford trainers on these Google pages, Alan had by far the most professional experience and the highest qualifications. Truth be told, to start with, I didn't know what a Biomechanist was until I read the definition on his website, but that clinched it for me, as being 54 years of age I wanted someone who was very safe, had proven expert knowledge and was nowhere near the beginning of their learning curve. I did have personal training before a couple of years ago, but not like this, as its been an all round higher level of experience.Caroline More...

Q&As

Nutritional intake can be nothing short of instrumentally crucial to success, across a wide number of physical health aspirations. It is hugely surprising to many people, how 'off target' their diet can actually be, and how clinical nutritional truths (which dictate what works and what does not), are vital to combine successfully, in order for anyone whatever their goals ( be it dealing with medical conditions to recovery from surgery/illness to fitness/wellbeing aspirations ... anything) to achieve them safely and successfully.

Assessing the goals/problem ... establishing the solution ... and seeing the smiles on the faces of those who recover from their injuries/setbacks or reach their fitness and wellbeing aspirations.

Love of human movement since early teens ... and the solutions and remedies that correctly applied Exercise/Fitness and Injury Biomechanics can provide.

Alan has 47 years experience ... and as one of the very few Biomechanists in the UK, has realistically dependable qualifications, not borne of training periods lasting a few weeks to a few months, like the very vast majority of personal trainer training courses that actually qualify individuals to take charge of someone's health. If anyone needs a down to earth 'reality check' about trusting someone to look after their physical health in any way, remember the fact ... that literally, dozens of exercise and personal trainer courses are measured from a couple of days to a week to a couple of months at most, and that includes Pilates teacher courses too I'm afraid, which is only 12 weeks long from a nil experience background of any knowledge of exercise, injury or physical activity!

So now ask yourself this question. Is your body less important to you than the wellbeing and condition of your teeth. No?

OK .... so would you happily sit down for an injection, followed by perhaps a filling or some crown work, from a dentist with a few weeks to a couple of months training? Would you let a mechanic with similar training periods, service or adjust the brakes of your car? Probably not huh?, as with respect, just very basic common sense ... would quite rightly, immediately stop you feeling safely reassured about either of those scenarios

So then why on earth would you place your physical health in the hands of someone with similar training?

Problem is of course ..... I'm afraid literally thousands of people ... do precisely that!
