I've struggled with back pain my entire adult life, to the point of not being able to sleep and relying on codeine to manage the pain. But regular sessions with Gemma have improved my back so much that I rarely think about it now. I now only go every few months for a check-in. Honestly it's made my life so much better. I'd highly recommend Gemma and the team, I'd still be miserable and in pain without her! More...

I have been taking my baby for cranial osteopathy to treat torticollis in his neck from pregnancy for the past 6 weeks and the results in such a short time are incredible. I was initially nervous about attending but Gemma is extremely knowledgable, gentle & patient. She has given us great exercises and advice in-between appointments and I am very glad I booked in for an initial consultation because I now have a very happy & content baby. I highly recommend Cheadle Osteopathy. More...

I have received regular Cranial Osteopath sessions from Gemma Irvine for the last 15 months. The care and treatment have always been excellent and the Practice has always sought to be flexible when needing to reschedule appointments. Hemma also provided a letter, free of charge, when I was applying for some charity funding. I cannot praise the expertise of Gemma too highly. She is kind, gentle and I have always been impressed by her medical knowledge. She explains things clearly and is very caring. The treatments have helped my facial and head pain enormously. I would highly recommend this Pactice to anyone within traveeling distance of Cheadle. More...

It was my first visit to Cheadle Osteopathy. I found the waiting room was very clean and open, with comfortable chairs and other seating. Pietro introduced himself to me and was very patient when going through my medical history and the reason that I had contacted Cheadle Osteopathy. Pietro was very pleasant and very attentive to my problems. Pietro found areas around my shoulders and back that need attention and started treating me immediately, and also suggested some exercises that I could continue at home. I am looking forward to my next appointment at Cheadle Osteopathy. More...

I have recently visited Pietro twice regarding an ongoing stiff neck. I now feel so much better following these appointments and my neck pain is gone. Pietro was very friendly and highly professional, constantly asking my consent before performing any movements and clearly explaining to me what he was doing and why. He was able to explain everything in very simple terms so I could easily understand. I would highly recommend visiting Pietro and would rate higher than 5* if I could - thank you Pietro!! The clinic itself is very clean and has parking facilities at the back which is very convenient too. I would highly recommend Pietro and Cheadle Osteopaths. More...

Took my 4 week old forceps baby to see Gemma as she has been so unsettled since birth being colicy etc. Gemma was so caring and gentle with my little one and provided lots of helpful advice and treatment plan. I’ve already noticed a difference after one session - she went down in the bassinet finally and slept so much better and is sitting more upright in her chairs. Can’t wait to go back again next week!

First visit as I have been having a bit of a lower back, hip problem. Met up with Cyril and he carried out an initial diagnosis, explained everything that he thought was causing the problem and then did some physical treatments. Finished off with some exercises to do and suggested a follow up appointment. Initial reaction is that I have confidence that this is a problem that can be sorted or at least managed. One brief experience, but based on that, I would be happy to recommend them. More...

I visited Hannah after a recommendation from a friend who told me she fixed her vitality since becoming a new mum. Ever since becoming a mum myself, I had suffered with soreness around my lower back and hips, and I just assumed that with lots of picking up and carrying that it was something I had to just suck up. I had around 6 sessions with Hannah and she is an absolute witch doctor. I had tried massage, chiropractors and all the other usual avenues. I honestly just thought osteopathy was for babies! Her friendly demeanour really put me at ease and I really felt she listened to me in my consultation and throughout the sessions. She talked me through my symptom history and my birth in great detail. It wasn't really like a treatment, more like I was going to visit a friend every few weeks, I really miss our sessions! She was super knowledgeable about her field and always gave me things to do at home to keep the pain at bay. I haven't suffered with any pain since, and I would never have known it was another area of my body being weak causing the pain. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and would definitely visit again. She really is a credit to her profession and the practice. More...

Earlier this year I consulted Pietro Basilico for long term chronic pain in my pelvis and lower back, for which I had previously received physiotherapy. Whilst the physio had helped in the short term, osteopathy from Pietro has resulted in more enduring relief. It took 4 sessions for me to notice a significant improvement, but I am extremely glad I persevered. At each session he explained clearly what he was doing and why. Having trained in Italy and the UK, he has a slightly different technique from that of osteopaths I have seen in the past and I can highly recommend his thorough approach and engaging manner. More...

Hannah was a godsend for our baby who struggled with reflux and colic. We started seeing Hannah at around 4 months after a recommendation from a lactation consultant and my little girl instantly started being able to stick her tongue out and feeding better. After every session there seemed to be a new developmental milestone, crawling, babbling etc. my little girl eventually had her tongue tie cut at 6 months and Hannah booked her in and worked on some tension and there was an immediate improvement in feeding. If I had another baby the first thing I’d do after leaving hospital is take them to Hannah! More...

I've felt wonderfully supported by Hannah and noticed improvements to both myself and my baby after treatment. My first session while pregnant, I hobbled into the room and walked out after. She has a calming presence and is lovely and friendly to chat to - would recommend for all things pregnancy/baby related! More...

Myself and my little boy have both been receiving treatment from Hannah and Gemma at Cheadle Osteopathy for 3 years. My son first visited when he was a baby after having pneumonia when he was born and then suffering from colic and constipation. Gemma's treatment of him was, and still is, brilliant. She is gentle, professional, encouraging and is lead by him (a busy 3 year old!) He looks forward to going to see her which says a lot in itself. I have been visiting Hannah and Gemma since having Bobby for problems with my hip and left side having had trouble with it for many years prior. I am much more comfortable now, don't have any problems with it however still like to go every couple months for a regular check up, I just wished I had gone sooner. I would highly recommend Cheadle Osteopathy, they are friendly, professional, caring and I have complete trust in them and their treatment - I wouldn't visit any other clinic. More...

I visited ciryl at cheadle osteopathy after 4 years of an injury. I had almost exhausted all options for recovery when I was suggested to see an osteopath. After a brief conversation explaining the nature of my injury and how it happened, ciryl quietly knew what I had done and what needed to be done to aid my recovery. A short examination later and he pointed out to me my source of pain, thoroughly explained exactly what had happened in clear terms and made a treatment plan. After 5 sessions I have been able to return to my career and regained my confidence. I found my osteopath to be very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly and I can’t thank him enough. I would highly recommend cheadle osteopathy and would not go anywhere else. More...

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
