I had developed pain in my lower back/hip area and was advised to see a physio. I booked an appointment with Ken at Cheadle Osteopathy and Physiotherapy. Ken was very reassuring and knew what the problem was straightaway. After my first session with him I was amazed that my pain had subsided dramatically. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I highly recommend Gemma Irvine. I first saw her in 2024 for my son, who had torticollis caused by a combination of his positioning in the womb and birth trauma. During our appointment, Gemma picked up on several issues that other professionals had failed to identify.She carried out a thorough hands-on assessment of my son, clearly explained the potential causes of his symptoms, and provided practical advice on how both she and myself could support his development moving forward.I kid you not, we only saw Gemma twice, but the difference after each session was incredible. The improvements were noticeable almost immediately. I genuinely swear she has magic hands!Always recommending Gemma to family and friends. More...

I came in with severe lower back pain, Rob was able to identify the cause and treated accordingly with a follow up appointment booked and an exercise plan. With the initial treatment I have already felt an immediate improvement and am able to do the basic things I couldn’t before the appointment! I’m very happy I managed to get in to be seen and pleased to have a further appointment booked to continue to help rectify the condition. More...

I would like to leave a message on behalf of my father, who saw Ken Hong Physiotherapist a few months ago for his shoulder and lower back pain. He speaks very highly of Ken, so our whole family wanted to leave this message to express our gratitude.We are all very grateful and happy with the progress my dad has made. Before seeing Ken, his shoulder was in such a terrible condition that he could barely lift or use his arm properly. Now, he is able to pick up and hold his newborn grandson again, which means a lot to our family.Thank you, Ken, for your help and care. We really appreciate the support you have given my father.

Brought my 5 week old baby for osteopathy as she seemed so unhappy and uncomfortable when awake. Nina was so kind and understanding, and obviously very knowledgeable. The treatment was extremely gentle. Between a handful of osteopathy sessions and a tongue tie release, we now have a much happier baby. More...

Came in with sciatic pain down my left side. I was greeted at the door by Cyril Irvine, the practicioner I was there to see. He asked me plenty questions to get down to the bottom of what I was dealing with, these questions were actually more in depth than the two previous physiotherapists I had seen. After that he did a physical examination finding out that my back was very stiff. He tried a few different methods of treatment to see how I reacted. All of them went well and I have booked my second appointment. I highly recommend them. More...

I was minding my own business, bending down to put a small item in a bag, when I wrenched my shoulder and was in considerable pain, completely unable to lift my arm even to horizontal. I was advised to see Ken. Ken is thoroughly professional: listens, answers questions head-on, with clear explanations. He manipulated my shoulder to see what was going on, said what he thought I'd done and explained what he intended doing about it, including explaining the various procedures. I was really impressed by his thoroughness and gentleness. My shoulder felt a lot better - I had much more movement - after this first session. I did the exercises he gave me, and four days later, after doing one particular set, my shoulder suddenly freed and I was back to normal. Ken didn't then just say goodbye! He checked me carefully at the follow-up appointment, did further treatments, and gave me new exercises to help ensure it doesn't happen again. Ken really knows what he's doing and it's clear he thinks holistically (which you do expect with Cheadle Osteopathy, frankly). If ever I need any more physio, I will be asking for an appointment with him, without any shadow of doubt. And if I don't need any more, it's because his treatment worked so well! More...

I attended several physio sessions with Ken Hong at Cheadle Osteopathy in the lead-up to Christmas and New Year, and I’m really glad I did. Before starting, I was feeling tired, sluggish, and very restricted in my movement, with a noticeable lack of mobility. From the very first session Ken quickly identified problem areas and focused his treatment exactly where it was needed. Our initial session concentrated on my upper body, where he noticed significant tightness that, in all honesty, I’d been carrying for years. After just one session, those areas felt far more relaxed and my range of motion noticeably improved. As a regular gym-goer, this made a big difference, particularly around my neck and shoulders, allowing me to move more freely and train more comfortably. In a later session, we focused on my lower body, which helped reduce long-standing tightness in my calves and hamstrings and further improved my overall mobility. I now feel revitalised and much better equipped to start 2026 in a positive way. I’ll definitely be continuing with regular maintenance sessions to support my ongoing health, fitness, and overall wellbeing. If you’re considering physio and reading this review, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ken Hong. More...

I first met Ken when he helped me rehabilitate a torn calf muscle, since then he has worked wonders freeing up my lower back and hamstrings which have been hurting me for years. I have no hesitation in recommending Ken based on my successful experiences. I now go regularly to see him and I think it’s money very well spent. So good in fact that I overlook the fact that he’s a big Liverpool fan fan 😊 More...

We visited Nina for our daughter who is now 6 months old, after researching an osteopath who specialises in children. We were struggling to take her on any car journeys without her screaming and had read this could be due to tension. Nina was excellent, friendly & professional and provided our daughter with 3 sessions of treatment to release tension in the areas she identified. We are now able to take her out in the car without any crying which has changed so much for us. She also gave us exercises to complete at home & explained everything she did. Would highly recommend Nina & would return if any further issues identified. Thank you for your help. More...

So glad I came across Cheadle Osteopathy. They have been the best investment for our baby girl. Our initial consultation was with Gemma who reassured me about our 3 month old at the time who tilted her neck to the right due to a difficult pregnancy and birth trauma as well as a combination of both reflux and colic symptoms. After a couple of sessions and at home exercises to support with her progress - I really started to notice a difference. I then started seeing Nina who I truly believe has contributed significantly to my daughter’s milestones and general development. I always say she has magic hands because if I’ve ever been concerned about a delayed milestone, I had noticed that within days of an appointment with Nina - my little girl would suddenly be doing all the things I was worried about her not doing prior. She is just the best! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She has a lovely warm and reassuring nature and makes you feel at ease with her calming approach which was especially needed for an anxious first time Mum. My daughter started walking at 10 months and I do feel the treatment given and exercises advised by the Cheadle Osteopathy team greatly supported her development. I only wish I knew about them when she was a newborn! Thank you so much. More...

I took my newborn to Cheadle Osteopathy as she was having unexplained periods of crying in the evening. We saw Gemma three times who identified two main areas of tension in Erin and recommended cranial osteopathy. We had three treatments and Erin improved and seemed happier after each one. Gemma was professional, friendly and very reassuring which is key with a baby! Erin has improved hugely, she is much happier, more relaxed and the crying periods have stopped. I’d highly recommend Cheadle Osteopathy and in particular Gemma. More...

We can't thank Nina enough for the care and expertise she showed to us and our little boy Rory, who was under her care until he was 6 months old. From the very first session, she made us all feel completely at ease with her gentle, kind and reassuring manner. Nina took the time to listen, explain, and tailor each treatment to his needs. We immediately saw such a positive difference in his comfort and overall wellbeing, it's been wonderful to watch his progress.

What do you love most about your job?
My interest in counselling and psychotherapy was born out of a genuine passion for helping people to find ways of living an emotionally healthy and fulfilled life. I believe we all have the resources to overcome whatever difficulties we may be experiencing. I work hard to offer an environment that encourages personal growth.
What I love most about my job, is being a counsellor who helps people to explore their feelings and emotions that are often related to their experiences. This allows clients to reflect on what is happening to them and consider alternative ways of doing things. As a therapist, I will not give advice, but will help my clients to make their own choices. Also working in a confidential setting, where I can listen attentively to all my clients. Which will then give them time to open up. This also leads to trust and respect. My aim is reduce confusion and increase their ability to cope with challenges and to make positive changes in their life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspired me to start my own business would be the love and passion working with people from all walks life. Also over the year I have had a number of issues that has needed psychological intervention. Which helped me to grow as a person. This in turn lead me into becoming a qualify therapist.
Why should our clients choose you?
My approach towards treating my clients is a combination of counselling, cbt and complimentary therapy which collectively helps in bringing that much needed mental and physical balance, irrespective of what kind of psychological issues you are facing. I aim to revive my clients from the current positions in their lives, and channelizing their negative energy to its way out in a well coordinated manner. It helps bring in the much needed harmony in their lives.
In my experience, I have worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life, which has provided with a deep insight and practical view of the problems that people are facing in these contemporary times, with regards to their professional and personal life. Whether it is depression due to lack of respect and recognition at work, death of close family member, emotional distress due to separation, addiction, hypersensitivity, obsessive compulsive disorder, hyperactivity, sex addiction, loss of job, phobias or just any other issues that is affecting your mental health negatively
Psychological Therapies, Phobias and Counselling service
