Reviews of Essential Osteopathy

S. W.

I have been seeing Fiona for long term headaches that have been bothering me for almost 10 years. After just one session I immediately felt more positive and in control of my pain. Fiona explained everything so clearly, immediately recognising what was causing my pain and helping me to manage it. I would not hesitate to recommend Fiona and her professional, caring approach.

My 6 month old baby girl was suffering from symptoms of colic and not sleeping at all so after doing some research and listening to advice from other mums I decided to give cranial osteopathy a go and I'm so glad I did! Baby girl had 3 sessions in total and even after the first session the difference in her was amazing. She now goes down to sleep far easier than before without arching her back and crying. She still wakes up several times during the night but she has had longer stretches of sleep and can easily be settled again in 5/10 minutes instead of the hour long night wakes we had previously. The sessions were very calm even with a fussy crying baby. I was able to change my baby's position and also breastfeed to calm her while Fiona continued to work on her. I would 100% recommend cranial osteopathy for babies who are suffering from colic and/or reflux. I now have a comfortable settled happy baby and I'm very grateful to Fiona for enabling me to get a couple more hours of sleep at night!

I took my 6 week old baby to see Fiona for Cranial Osteopathy. Before our first visit my baby was unsettled, unhappy and generally seemed uncomfortable and in pain with ‘colicky’ symptoms. We had 3 appointments with Fiona and after every appointment we saw massive improvements and I am pleased to say we now have a (mostly) content and comfortable baby. Had a few appointments myself too to try and sort my very sore back and always feel 10 foot taller when I leave.

After doing lots of research for reflux and colic in my baby girl, I decided to give cranial osteopathy a try. I was very apprehensive at first, however Fiona made me feel really at ease. We’ve been to two treatments and already she is a different baby! Hoping one more treatment with Fiona will be enough to have cured her. She is finally relaxed and sleep in her crib alone instead of on top of me and upright. What a difference - definitely worth every penny!

C. G.

After hours of research to help find a solution to my baby's reflux and colick symptoms as well as changing my diet, getting her tongue tie revised etc. I finally made the decision to look for a practitioner in cranial bodywork. I chose Fiona at Essential Osteopathy and saw immediate improvement after the first session. The intense constant crying almost completely stopped, the projectile vomiting became less frequent and for the first time she lay on her mat and played without crying and did tummy time without having a fit. We've had a total of three sessions and each one resulted in further improvement. Fiona is very patient with babies and great at working around the never ending moving and crying that babies do. Thank you Fiona!

Fiona helped me through two pregnancies when I had pelvic girdle pain and rib pain. I genuinely don't know how I would have coped through both pregnancies without her. She was professional, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable in her field. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or go to her again.

I’ve had a great experience with Fiona, helping with pain in my jaw and neck caused from teeth clenching. She listens to what works and what doesn’t, and adjusts her treatment accordingly. I feel she has taken COVID-19 measures very seriously and feel as safe as possible when having my treatment done. We both wear medical-grade face masks and it is obvious that thorough cleaning is done between sessions.

I went to see Fiona with upper back, neck and shoulder pain and I thought her approach was excellent. Within an hour she had assessed and diagnosed me and discussed a treatment plan. Fiona is very knowledgeable and has a caring and empathetic approach which left me feeling much less worried about my injury. Within 2 weeks of doing her exercises and getting her deep tissue massage my pain started to subside. You are definitely in safe hands if you chose to see Fiona!

Having had severe back pain since for a few years it flared up badly at the start of lockdown and I was what I can only describe as a 'tetris' shape. After only a couple of appointments with Fiona I felt a massive improvement and I can not recommend her highly enough. I was a little apprehensive at first due to the Government announcement about safety measures but I can honestly say there was no need to worry at all. Fiona is very helpful and the treatment was not impacted at all. The process is very clear and Fiona is so well organised that you are made to feel safe and comfortable from the moment you enter. The quality of the treatment is not impacted at all and I felt reassured as Fiona had all the appropriate measures in place such as pre-screening checks and appropriate PPE. Throughout Fiona explained all processes both treatment and safety measures which really put me at ease. An excellent osteopath and I am so pleased that she has opened back up and that I did not put off booking. I've already recommended her to family, friends and work colleagues.

I was suffering from neck pain for 4 weeks, after one session with Fiona, not only did the pain ease tremendously my overall outlook in life changed. Fiona got to the root of the issues I had been experiencing, something several doctors could not do. Best money I have spent and I thoroughly look forward to seeing her each week. Can't recommend enough!

S. H.

Fiona treated my 5 week old daughter who had been very unsettled from 2/3 weeks old. I noticed improvements after the first treatment with her being a lot happier during awake times and continued with a further 2 sessions. I felt very comfortable with Fiona carrying out the treatment on my daughter, she is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend!

D. Y.

I would highly recommend Fiona as she is an exceptional Osteopath. I suffered from severe neck pain which had travelled into my left arm for almost 2 years. After attending a couple of sessions with Fiona I felt a major improvement due to the combination of massage and acupuncture technique that she used. I now attend her practice on a monthly basis.

E. G.

Fiona is an exceptional bodyworker - through a combination of osteopathy and acupuncture she successfully 'fixed' our 21 year-old's back problems, which had been an issue for many years. The improvement after the first appointment was amazing, and after four appointments he feels better than he has his entire life. Her understanding of the body is superb.

D. R.

I first received treatment from Fiona when I was 3 months pregnant and was in a lot of pain with my SI joint. After the 1st session there was amazing improvement and after just 3 sessions I had no more pain. I would highly recommend Fiona. My daughter has also attended for 3 sessions from when she was six weeks old for colic/trapped wind with incredible results. She's always completely chilled after a session too and usually sleeps through the treatment!

S. W.

Fiona is a wonderful practioner. When I first presented with neck and jaw pain she listened carefully and patiently allowing me to explain how the pain and discomfort was impacting me. The result of Fiona’s chosen treatment regime has been remarkable. I can feel relief almost instantly and I’m feeling so much better after several session. I receive great care and attention every appointment; Fiona knows my case inside out and I actually look forward to going for my treatment, which is a combination of massage, manipulation and acupuncture. I would recommend Fiona to anyone. She’s helped me enormously and I’m sure she can help you too!

D. J.

Fiona has a really relaxing and professional studio. I have been twice so far to help with sciatic pain, and it has made a huge difference already. Fiona is very easy to talk to, which helps put you at ease during treatment. Would highly recommend!

F. B.

I went to Fiona after a friend recommended her and it was the best advice, my situation was already getting better after the first session. She is extremely competent and gives a lot of good suggestions for equipment and exercises to improve the muscles strength and posture. The treatment she gives me at her studio is very effective and it's helping a lot. Fiona is also lovely and mindful. I highly recommend her!

M. S.

Essential Osteopathy has been an enormous help to solve my neck and upper back problems. Fiona's knowledge and understanding of how to deal with my problem has really improved my life. The headaches and searing neck pain have disappeared in few short visits. Moreover, the standards of hygiene were exceptional and the Covid protection policies were outstanding.

L. B.

I had my first appointment with Fiona last week. She is very professional and easy to talk to about all different problems I had in the past with my back. She really takes the time to listen and ''feel'' the most problematic areas. Right after the first appointment, I felt much better and I really appreciate that she took the time to explain some of my bad habit and how to correct them. Would highly recommend Fiona!!

C. B.

I went to my first session with Fiona last week after suffering from nerve pain in the lower side of my back and in one of my legs. I found the session great and Fiona was very helpful, explaining to me my condition and massaging the area. Two days after the session my back is nearly back to normal. Fiona was also very helpful and gave me advice about exercises which I should do to keep the problem from coming back. I will go for another session with her this week. Overall the session was great and I. warmly recommend Fiona to everyone who has any problems with their back!

Fiona is honestly the most dedicated osteopath, and is taking all the right steps to treat during COVID19 to provide incredibly helpful, safe, and positive treatment (as always). I had a successful appointment today. Aside from following all the health guidelines set out by the government, and using the proper PPE, she still makes sure you are feeling safe and comfortable, and it's the same quality treatment as before COVID19. It is not in the least bit scary, and after attending recently I could not be more grateful for her courage to treat and all the steps she has taken to ensure safety for all her patients and herself. When booking, you'll be required to fill out a form on COVID related info (are you at risk, do you have symptoms, etc.), it only takes 30 - 60 seconds and is required for booking an appointment in accordance with government guidelines. As per these guidelines, patients MUST wear a mask, and it does not prevent you from breathing normally by any means, even when lying face down. This is to protect you, her and anyone else you come into contact with. Naturally, it is also required for you to use hand sanitizer before and after the appointment. I could not be more appreciative of her treatment and her dedication to safety. I highly recommend her, and I have been seeing Fiona for over a year now, she's always so friendly, supportive and kind, she has helped me recover from debilitating back pain that took me out of studies of conservatoire for two years. Without her treatment, I would not have been able to continue in my studies as a violist due to the physical nature of the career. Thanks, Fiona!

C. S.

Fiona is a wonderful Osteopath, she listens to your needs and focuses her attention on exactly what your body needs. The progress my body has come along has been thanks to her, could not recommend Fiona enough!

I brought my 9 week old baby to Fiona in the hope of calming him down, he was a very unsettled wee boy who didn’t like to be held, fought against sleep and never seemed to relax. He was also suffering from silent reflux and congestion which meant he grunted in his sleep constantly. He was a premature baby and Fiona explained about the effects prematurity and a tricky labour can have on babies nervous systems, the science of it totally made sense to me and immediately made me feel like the problems he was having weren’t down to anything we were doing wrong...very reassuring. Our appointments with Fiona have made such a difference to him. Immediately after the first session, we noticed a difference in his contentment, he was sleeping more soundly and stopped thrashing around and grunting as much. We had three sessions in total and thinking back to what he was like before, I’m amazed at the difference in him. He’s no longer “wired” and is so much more chilled out and enjoys cuddles with us. His reflux has disappeared and we’ve been able to stop his medication which is a relief. Most importantly we’re getting 5 hours sleep out of him which is incredible! Fiona was great with our wee boy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and her treatment to any mums wondering if their babies would benefit from osteopathy.

I changed from my old osteopath to Fiona when I started getting back problems again last year. Fiona is brilliant - she makes me feel very comfortable, and works absolute magic on my back. I'm down to a tune-up every few months or so now. I also have a much better understanding of causes and prevention of my back pain. Highly recommended.

K. W.

Really warm and welcoming, would highly recommend. Fiona undertook a thorough and holistic assessment of my nerve pain which was shooting down my leg, and which I had been struggling with for two months. Within a month my mobility greatly improved, and my improvement has continued. I also have strategies now to prevent this pain returning, and to generally maintain better posture and alignment. I am really glad I visited!

L. B.

This is the second time I have visited Fiona for treatment. Last time she treated me for a neck problem which she treated effectively in only a few treatments. This is because she takes time to understand your problem by listening to a description of your symptoms before undertaking a thorough assessment of your range of movement and source of pain. This time she is treating me for a back and shoulder problem and has used a combination of massage (manipulation) and acupuncture to relieve symptoms. She is really excellent and I cannot recommend her highly enough. In fact I have already recommended her to two friends, both of whom have been treated by her.

C. H.

Fiona was very helpful in explaining exactly what she was doing when I wanted to know; her methods were highly effective in combating the stiffness and pain I had been experiencing and she is also a charming person to talk to before, during or after treatment. Plus, there is no better feeling in the world than having your every vertebra cracked after a session. Can't recommend her enough!

Fiona was extremely professional and friendly. She was able to explain clearly to me what was going on inside my knee and what I needed to do to improve my mobility. This helped hugely in alleviating my fears and concerns. After only one session, I felt the benefits of her treatment. After a couple of sessions, coupled with the exercises Fiona had given me to do at home, I was able to use my knee to a much greater extent than previously. Brilliant! Thanks Fiona.

Having suffered with a particularly nasty bout of Costochondritis for months, I made an appointment to see Fiona at Essential Osteopathy. Three appointments later, the pain / discomfort has dramatically reduced and I am also much more aware of how to avoid it in the future. I would not hesitate in recommending Fiona to anyone who is in need of an Osteopath!

N. M.

I was treated by Fiona in 2011 during my pregnancy and she was able to treat both my lower back pain and pelvic dysfunction during this time. I have suffered from back pain for a number of years but with the extra pressure on my body during pregnancy it was vital to be treated regularly. Fiona is very personable and she takes an interest in you which makes it easy to trust her. She also saw my son after he was born and I did not hesitate to take him to be treated with cranial osteopathy given the positive treatment I had received from her myself. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence but he started sleeping throughout the night after he was treated by her. Three years on from this and I have continued to be treated by Fiona and have recommended her to numerous people during this time. Fiona is a fantastic practitioner who clearly takes pride in her job.

I have been going to Fiona for several months now and the progress has been remarkable. I'm looking forward to the rest of the treatments and have recommended her to a good friend who has also become delighted with her treatments. I should point out that these treatments take place at her site in Stirling.

I can't recommend Fiona highly enough as she has helped me immensely with terrible jaw pain. She is incredibly professional and is very warm and friendly. I honestly don't know how I'd be feeling without her!

Seen so many doctors and had numerous hospital appointments and still no further with my back pain. I then decided to go down osteopath route and after coming here I've had great improvement in the pain and was actually told what was wrong with me unlike all the doctors who just said "it's mechanical" and expected me to understand that. I have been attending for a few months now and I can go weeks without being in pain whereas before i was in pain everyday. Highly recommended!!

L. B.

I was attending doctors for 7 months with head/neck pain and was getting nowhere even after having a ct scan and many courses of antibiotics. First session with Fiona she figured out what was going on. My pain has improved so much, wish I had went to her sooner. Lovely person and really helpfull with lots of information and tips.

Highly recommended, Fiona makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed and could not do any more to help get you mobile again. A notable difference from the first session and her continued support has made such a difference in helping with my sciatica

S. L.

I can’t recommend Fiona highly enough! I came to see Fiona with an awkward-to-reach pain in my shoulder, as well as a lot of discomfort in my lower back. Fiona listened to everything I was saying and over just a few sessions, got to the root of my problem and made the pain go away! If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, then you’ve come to the right place! Stephen Low (Business Development Manager - STV)

Fiona is a talented and accomplished osteopath with extensive and expert knowledge. Fiona is passionate about her job, professional, respectful and mindful. I highly recommend Fiona to my friends, family & yoga students.

Visited Essential Osteopathy after suffering with Costochondritis for 14 weeks. There isn't much information on Costochondritis available online and as it is quite rare doctor's sometimes don't know the best way to treat this. I had attended physio for 6 weeks with little improvement and was advised that hands on treatment would not benefit this and to do some gentle stretches and take anti inflammatories. Prior to this I was advised to rest (as at the time I couldn't do anything without it feeling like I was having a heart attack) but no amount of rest was taking the pain away, as soon as I got up to do something it was back in full force. Some of the stretches helped but not to the point I could go back to living a normal life (I was off work and could not walk over 5 minutes despite regularly going walking holidays and living an active lifestyle beforehand) However after one session with Essential Osteopathy I was back at work part time within 2 days and have noticed a significant improvement. I am in much less pain and only wish I'd went to Essential Osteopathy earlier!! Fiona is very helpful and makes you feel completely at ease. I have only had 2 sessions and I am finally believing it will be possible to get back normal. I recommend anyone suffering from Costochondritis to book an appointment as soon as possible!

m. d.

Fiona is an excellent osteopath both in her clinical knowledge and her clinical practice. I would highly recommend her.

S. C.

Essential Osteopathy really helped my sore back. Fiona was really professional... I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for symptom relief.

I have been very impressed with Fiona. Having been to many osteopaths over 20 years, I can say she really knows what she is doing. Fiona has really helped me.
