Clare's Story
I couldn't recommend Bhakti and HealthWise Osteo more highly!
I started experiencing pelvic girdle pain 12 weeks into my second pregnancy. This was far earlier and much worse than first time round so I got onto treatment with my pelvic floor physio right away. By about 20 weeks she said I'd probably need crutches soon and my midwife insisted I needed to see Bhakti. She was such a lifesaver for me through the rest of my pregnancy!
It was still a struggle but I managed without needing crutches, and with every treatment I felt such relief in my pelvis and lower back. Bhakti's treatment enabled me to keep doing all the essentials including caring for my energetic 3 year old. I also had a quick and straightforward delivery. Bhakti is a delightful person who genuinely cares for her patients' wellbeing. She also works with babies and has been very helpful with my little one who has had some feeding issues since the start. Anyone with PGP/SPD should get in touch!

Matt's Story
I can highly recommend Healthwise Osteo. They are a very reliable and professional service that is highly patient focused.
I've been seeing Simon Roots in relation to a lower back injury and have had huge success in my recovery under his care. Simon is an excellent practitioner in all regards. His approach is very empathic and caring, whilst also maintaining a high level of excellence and has made a huge difference regarding the pain I was experiencing. I've appreciated Simon's professional approach in providing holistic care, giving me other options alongside osteopathic care, rather than claiming to "fix" it all. I've come away with clear advice and plans around my recovery journey that have empowered me in my strength and wellness.
I would not hesitate to recommend Simon and the team at Healthwise to anyone!

Natalia's Story
I can't recommend Healthwise and the incredible Natalie highly enough! She has treated not just me, but also my two children (aged 4 and 9), and the care and expertise she brings to every session are truly exceptional.
Natalie takes the time to understand each of our needs, providing gentle yet highly effective treatment that has made such a difference for all of us. She is warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled—whether it’s helping with my own issues or ensuring my children are comfortable and well cared for, she always goes above and beyond.
The entire team at Healthwise is fantastic—professional, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so well looked after, and I’m so grateful we found them. If you’re looking for expert osteopathic care for yourself or your family, this is the place to go!
Thank you, Natalie and the Healthwise Osteopathic Care team—you’re amazing! 💙🙌

SJ's Story
I've gone to Andy several times over the last 10 years, and can't speak highly enough of his treatment. I was first referred by an acupuncturist I went to for a neck strain, who said a cranial osteo would be better suited to my acute pain. Andy identified a bulging disc pressing on a nerve, and I could not believe how effective he was and how fast it worked. It still blows my mind how such a gentle treatment can have such dramatic results. It's like someone reaching into your spine/skull and pulling everything back into its right place, yet there's no manipulation at all.
Since that first round of treatments, I've been back to both Andy and Bhakti for a lower back strain, for pelvic pain during pregnancy, and now I'm back again for a similar neck problem. It's awesome having somewhere to go that I really trust to fix me, and I've also learned the sooner you go, the faster the healing will be!
