Testimonials


As always treatment from Vera has done the trick with my pesky back. People ask why I travel from London to see her but she is literally magic. Excellent treatment and care given with sound advice on self care and strengthening muscles again.

Thank you so much to Vera for making me feel much better already in the first session. Such a lovely and understanding lady. A great team including the reception. Thanks again.

Vera was amazing, I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for about 10 days now and instantly Vera was able to notice where my pain was coming from, and we worked out a plan of action. She is very careful and explains everything in detail, so I knew exactly what I needed to do and change to help my back. Very pleased with my experience! Thank you.

I have used Vera now for about 20 years - throughout three pregnancies, and she continues to treat our whole family. She is a consummate professional and I always feel looked after and bendy when I leave. I use her for both continued maintenance as well as for the children, ensuring they remain well aligned and to avoid problems in future for them.

Highly recommend the practice.

I have been going to Vera for several years now, to keep my back fully mobile and me flexible.

As I work on a computer for large parts of the day, that puts a strain on my back and neck. My hobby (dancing) puts even more stress on my back, neck and shoulders.

Vera totally understands my needs, and stops me locking up. She also very successfully treated my tennis elbow with ultrasound and manipulation.

I’m always happy to recommend Backs and Joints, because the team are lovely, and Vera is great at what she does.

I’ve been a regular client at The Backs and Joints Clinic now for a few years (previously Back To Health) and Vera always manages to fix the issues I’ve had with my neck and back. She takes the time to fully understand the problem and, as well as the hands on work, suggests exercises you can do at home to help alleviate any ongoing symptoms in between sessions. The reception staff are always very friendly and helpful too.

Vera has been treating myself and my family for a few years now, her knowledge is extensive and she always gives the possible care. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Vera.

Visited Vera at the Backs and Joints clinic yesterday to have her look at my painful shoulder. I’ve been seeking occasional treatment from Vera since 1991, but this is the first time that it wasn’t for my back. I didn’t want to get a doctor’s appointment and possible referral to a consultant.

Really wanted to find out if this is the start of a worn out shoulder joint or arthritis. Went in with no expectation of treatment or a magic fix. As usual Vera quickly assured me that there was no underlying joint failure and that muscle weakness was the likely cause.

So I have some exercises for the next month and hopefully things will improve. I can’t speak highly enough of the treatment over the years and highly recommend anyone with a back or muscle/joint problem seek an investigative examination.
