Marvellous treatment from Allan. He has sorted my reoccurring lower back problem a number of times. He is great on knees as well. I thoroughly recommend him.

Fantastic osteopath. After seeing physios, chiropractors and even my GP, Alan is the only one who has explained to me what was causing my pain and why. He set out clear goals for me to achieve between appointments and his treatments gave me back the spring in my step. Highly recommended More...

I have been receiving treatment for headaches, indigestion knee and back pain. The last session was the best by far especially being shown a breathing technique for indigestion. I am still struggling with headaches but with his help they are reducing in intensity. It is also helpful that he doesn't judge my body and always checks if I am comfortable with the pressure. He is very caring and shows good empathy and good listener. More...

After a frustrating 6 months, hoping a foot issue would correct itself, i decided I'd go and book a consultation to see if a professional could point me in the right direction. I booked in with Alan, who not only gave me the initial consultation on the spot, but also my first course of treatment, along with a plan of stretches to be doing at home. After 3 sessions, I have confidence in my foot again and the issue is definitely on the mend. My recovery has been tailored specifically to my issue, so new, more challenging exercises have been added along the way. These were not something I'd have ever thought to do myself, so I am equal parts glad I went to see Alan, along with equal parts annoyed i waited 6 months to do so. Alan couldn't be more accommodating, pleasant to chat to, and obviously highly skilled and what he does. Basically, i cannot recommend enough. Thanks Alan More...

I fell in work and badly hurt my knee and after a few weeks it was clear there was to be no more help from my GP so I decided to look for an Osteopath to see if I could get some help as I knew my knee still wasnt right. I saw there was one right near where I live and lucky for me it turned out to be Alan. It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone I knew was going to help me.Alan commenced treatment in his professional relaxed manner and I knew I had made the right decision in choosing him. Its great as he explains everything to you how the treatment all works.His aim is to enable you to do all the things you normally would so don't hesitate help is at hand make that call you wont regret it|Thanks Alan!Rita Powell More...

Alan is very honest and straight forward. He told me I'd be fixed in three sessions and was a man of his word. He explained what he was doing and gave me a better understanding of my problem. I highly recommend him

I saw Alan a few times after I hurt my shoulder during (American) Football practice. He told me what the cause of my pain was after doing a few tests, and how long it would take me to get back playing. The treatment was excellent and he even gave me some exercises to help me prevent damaging my shoulders when training. More...

I'm an office assistant who has always had neck and shoulder pain because of the amount of desk work I do. My pain was gone within a few sessions! Alan explained that I should pop back every few weeks or so to keep it at bay. 5 stars - would HIGHLY RECOMMEND! More...

I have suffered from a bad knee for many years and have been unable to do any sports of any kind due to the pain in that area. Having spent just 10 mins with Alan he gave me hope and assured me that my problem could be solved and after the first session my knee already felt a lot better and I am looking forward to completing the sessions with Alan. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a calm demeanor and I will definitelyrecommend him to friends and family. More...

Wow, how fortunate i was to stumble over Alan's clinic (literally walking past) - he was good enough to see me same day. Having seen many osteo's and chiro in oz and uk over last 25 years, Alan has literally broken the old mould. Having suffered back pain for many years and having a recent shoulder injury, Alan is addressing a range of issues for me. Don't be fooled by his relative youth - this guy know's his stuff and is like an old osteo in a younger body, and new school approach of transparency, education and is not a wham-bam manipulation osteo. He treats you with a multi-layered approach and explains the steps to you so you understand. Highly recommend him and highly thankful for his efforts to date. More...

Alan spent time working on both my shoulder and neck pain whilst coming back from an injury attained from sport. He gave an excellent service, explaining exactly what and why for each method of treatment. Giving me stretches to target the tightness and prevent future injury. Will definitely return again!

I was 30 weeks pregnant and I went to see Alan about the shooting pain I had in my lower back and down my leg. Although I was put on the waiting list with the midwife to see someone, I couldn’t wait as the pain was getting worse on a daily basis. Wuth the help of google, I found Alan! He is a very nice guy and after a conseltation, he began treatment which was very effective-not straight away, but within 3 to 4 days the pain had completly gone! I’m so thankful to him and I would 100% recomend him to anyone,pregant or not!! One very pleased customer! Diolch Alan! More...

As a writer I spend most of my day trapped behind a desk. My back suffers, but Alan regularly comes to my rescue. His treatments are excellent and his after-care and advice is also superb. If you see anyone in Cardiff it should be Alan. He's a gem :) More...
