Friendly people, efficiently-run clinic. Michael and his team have helped me to manage the pain caused by costochondritis by their treatment and by raising my awareness regarding posture. After three months, I feel virtually no pain at all and understand better how to sit, stand and move in order to improve posture and prevent tension which gave rise to pain.

Recommend for Costochondritis, Tietze syndrome, chest pain and "swollen rib". Dr Durtnall diagnosed me in the first session after seeing a few NHS specialists and being told the only solution is cortisol injections for pain management. With the manipulation and posture & exercise advice I got given, I was 80% better after 2 months of treatment and had over 90% reduction in symptoms after 3 months. He has also helped build my understanding of how to keep my back healthy for the rest of my life. I wish I'd gone sooner!

Outstanding quality of care by Dr Michael Durtnall who is treating my 14 year old daughter. My daughter damaged her coccyx around six years ago. We have seen a few different doctors since and no one could help her. She was in big pain before she started to see Michael and improvement has been just great. She has done only 3 treatments and she is almost pain free. I am ever so grateful for his services and will for sure recommend Sayer's clinic to anyone that might need help.

I was treated by Michael Durtnall for scoliosis and pudendal neuralgia. I could not have done it without these treatments. Michael's incredible knowledge and professionalism have been instrumental to my healing process. It has been tough for me, both with pain in the back and in my pelvis, but Michael's treatments provided incredible relief. He has taught me what my posture should be and has made sure that I follow his advice even outside of his treatment room. He has also provided advice on exercise and lifestyle choices. As a result of my treatments with Michael, I have improved my posture tremendously (people complement on it actually - all my friends and family do not fail to notice how good my posture has become!) and most importantly I no longer have pain in my back. The treatments provided relief with the pudendal neuralgia too, the cause of which most likely were my back problems and a misaligned pelvis, which Michael treated with great care. Sayer clinic is simply amazing, the reception girls are incredibly helpful. I have also had a couple of massages and some acupuncture sessions at the clinic which have also exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Sayer Clinic highly enough! It has been a life saver for me!

This is just a wonderful clinic. Michael Durtnall is a man of many years of experience and I feel safe being treated by him. His team are evidently very carefully picked as they too are of a high calibre. He helped me solve a long term coccyx issue that I was told was untreatable. Also, he has helped my two children with leg length issues and I am so happy he has helped them avoid a future of difficulty with this. The Sayer clinic is extremely busy because of how good they are, and they work hard to help everyone and with deep compassion. I think they are wonderful, and very professional. I refer as many people to them as I can.

I have been a patient of Dr Michael for several years now, and it never ceases to amaze me how much better I feel after my treatment with him. Not only is he highly knowledgeable and incredibly skilful at what he does, but he is also a very warm, friendly and positive individual, sometimes hard to find among medical professionals! I am so far from where I was about a decade ago when I first stepped into his office. With a combination of chiropractic care, acupuncture and lifestyle changes my chronic pain reduced significantly and my quality of life was finally restored. I am no longer crippled by pain, unable to work effectively or enjoy life, and I owe it to Dr Michael at Sayer Clinic!

P. D.

My experience of treatment from Michael and Karolina has been very positive indeed. I was in agony for months before finding this clinic, yet after 3 months of appointments (pre-covid!) with Michael my costocondritis has all but gone. The supplementary physio from Karolina helped alleviate my neck and headache symptoms through thorough examination and treatment for which I am very grateful.

L. B.

Michael Durtnall and Karolina did a wonderful job helping with my pelvic girdle pain (spd - pubic symphysis) and sacroiliac pain during pregnancy. I had a few sessions with them and I was pain free after this and had help with some pelvic floor tension from Karolina which made a big difference to the rest of my pregnancy. Definitely recommend the Sayer Clinic as they specialise in these types of problems.

I came to see Dr Michael Durtnall having had costochondritis (an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribs) for several months. My condition started as a small pain localised to the left side of my chest which eventually spread to all around my ribs. This pain increased in magnitude over time to the point where I was barely mobile and slept a few hours a night due to breathing issues. I had been resistance training for many years and was generally quite fit so to end up so immobile and in such pain was not a foreseen eventuality. Some time after being diagnosed by my gp, being told to rest and my dose of anti-inflammatories going up every week I really began to lose hope. I wondered if i was going to get back to a normal life, let alone get back in the gym. Michael diagnosed me with scoliosis (side-wards curve of the spine) and pinpointed it due to a genetic structural abnormality in my lumbar spine. He began re-aligning my spine through chiropractic adjustment and I had weekly sports massages. He also gave me mobility exercises as well as adjustments to my posture and my training (further down the line). Having had a few months of treatment I am now 90% recovered and back to training at the same intensity prior to developing the condition. A huge thank you to Michael and the sports massage therapists at Sayers because there was a period where I truly thought this would never be possible.

J. W.

I am still in the process of being treated by Michael, as well as the brilliant Marta, one of the physios. Michael is extremely knowledgable and has made good progress in helping with my discomfort and treatment. I think I will be visiting him for a while yet, but recommend him to anyone who has problems with their coccyx. Don't just go to your local osteopath - they know very little about this sort of treatment. Michael is the best in his field!

I have been seeing Karolina for a chronic lower back problem for just under a year at the Sayer Clinic in west London. She is an exceptionally skilled physiotherapist and has used a variety of effective techniques to ease my pain and facilitate my recovery. She has an extremely caring and thoughtful nature, listens carefully in order to assess symptoms and progress, and plans treatment for each session methodically and effectively. She also provides excellent advice and information to help me aid my own rehabilitation between sessions.

I had been suffering from costochondritis and sporadic neck problems for more than a year and half, I found very little help in pain killers or regular physiotherapy. At the clinic they treated the root problem, mobilising my stiff joints and correcting my very bad posture (years of working in front of a computer). Now I'm back to normal and have acquire the habits to maintain good posture. Staff at the clinic were very helpful, while Michael and Beatrice were outstanding when treating me. I truly recommend the clinic to anybody suffering costochnodritis or chronic/recurring pain in the back or neck.

I have been a patient at Sayer Clinics for about 8 months and I must say Michael Durtnall's treatment and Karolina Krzaczek's physiotherapy really changed my life. I first came to see Michael in April 2017 after suffering from bad and persistent back and neck tension as well as costochondritis for about 1.5 years. By the time I came to see Michael, over 1.5 years I had consulted 3 different doctors (including expensive private ones, 3 different osteopaths and 2 different physiotherapists in London. None of these could identify what my problem was and in fact treated me incorrectly: physiotherapists would not treat my tension affected areas because they "didn't want to make it worse" and an orthopaedic surgeon I consulted gave me a mix of pain killers that severely affected how I perceived. It got to the point where I was incredibly frustrated. I thought nobody could help and that I would never get well, do sports and be pain free again. What a relief and what a change when I saw Michael! He is extremely knowledgeable about back and neck and frankly any skeletal and muscular issue. From the first appointment I felt that this practice was different: Michael did a thorough assessment of my condition and quickly drew up a plan of how to tackle my problems. He made me do regular physiotherapy with Karolina whose treatment and exercises helped me tremendously in easing my muscular tension and in learning how to ameliorate and release tension and pain if and when I get it. Both of them are also extremely nice and pleasant. I highly recommend anyone with complex and severe neck, back and other skeletal or muscular problems to see Michael and Karolina at Sayer Clinics. Highly recommend them!

I came to see Dr. Chris Berlingieri with terrible cervicogenic headaches. I had been seeing a physiotherapist for years who never got to the root of the problem and only treated my symptoms. After a thorough consultation, examination and x-rays looking at my whole spine, Chris got to the root of the problem and found that I had a twisted pelvis and other issues along my spine. He has used his specialist techniques to align me and eliminate my headaches. I feel so grateful for finding him and would highly recommend him to anybody else.

Since discovering Sayer Clinics it has literally been a weight lifted off of my shoulders since being diagnosed with Costochondritis. There are only two people in the world that specialize in this and Micheal is one of them. When going in for my consultation Micheal was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He knew exactly where the problem was and discovered a few thing that may become problems in the future. Going in for treatment now is something I always look forward to because I know if I have a question about something Micheal will always know the answer and always asks about updates and improvements. Sayer Clinics is THE BEST clinic I have ever been to and I recommend it to everyone and to anyone who has had a vague diagnosis or even a “I can’t help you” Sayer Clinics WILL help you and WILL diagnose you. On the road to recovery ❤️

P. C.

I would highly recommend Dr Michael Durtnall and his team at Sayer Clinics. They are very friendly, caring and always make you feel at ease as soon as you walk in every time. Together with their efficiency and expertise in the area. I have been coming back for over a year now. I can see the great outcome after every visits, particularly in noticing the improvement of my posture and the ease of my back pain due to scoliosis.

I cannot recommend Michael Durtnall and the Sayer Clinics highly enough. I have a rather attention-seeking spine and it has been looked after most wonderfully there. Before my first treatment, my lower back had been so painful that I could barely walk. For several months, I could only do a few steps and it was only getting worse. My GP said it was probably due to my age. I am 38... I saw other specialists but nobody could offer any help, until a friend recommended Michael. Thanks to him, I can now walk and work without difficulties. I might have to give up the idea of running a marathon but I am feeling like a different person. He is caring, generous, gentle and I feel completely safe there.

2 years ago, after 1 year of excruciating coccyx pain (when seated) I began treatment with Michael Durtnall. On my first visit to the clinic, Michael carried out an x-ray followed by a thorough explanation of its results. The x-ray showed anterior subluxation of the sacrococcygeal joint, which Michael described essentially as sitting on a 'spike', and in my case it was quite severe, at a grade 3. After approximately 3 months of treatment I stopped feeling any pain, and 2 years later I am still pain free. Michael also cured my costochondritis within a few sessions - this was a combination of massage technique and him reminding me of my posture (now I correct myself when sitting/standing/walking) To summarise, Michael is a remarkable doctor but also an amazing person; friendly, approachable, and he really cares about his patients! Cheesy, but I don't know what I would have done without him!

During the birth of my second son I experienced unremitting tailbone and pelvic floor nerve pain. Googling found Dr Michael Durtnall of Sayer Clinics but I had to wait three long weeks to see him. I’m so pleased I did wait. Michael listened, thoroughly examined me, straightaway took pelvis xrays and showed me my dislocated tailbone and how my sitting one-sided to avoid it affected my left pudendal nerve with tingling up to hideous pelvic pain within two minutes of sitting down. After three treatments in the last month I’m now totally painfree and busy enjoying my family. I am extremely grateful for Michael’s help.

I am a professional musician and sought out Sayer Clinics looking to heal an injury in my left wrist and was absolutely overwhelmed with the care and attention I was given. My treatment was very effective and I am extremely grateful to my therapist Olga. She was always confident and very knowledgeable in regards to my condition and helped me understand the causes and the symptoms as well as giving the treatment so effectively that I returned to live performing in the following weeks, after months of not being able to play due to my injury. Also attentive and very helpful was Inês at the front desk. I am very happy with my experience at Sayer Clinics and will certainly recommend it my friends and family.

I went to see Dr. Michael four years after hurting my back. I chose sayer clinics because of all the good reviews I found online and I did not regret it. Dr. Michael pays attention to every detail, big or small, and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. After only 3 months I believe most of the damage was undone and I cannot recommend him enough. My treatment included chiropractic sessions with him and Dr. Briony, and physiotherapy sessions mostly with Sofia and Marta who are very skilled. Overall, all of the staff at the Sayer Clinics have always been very helpful and friendly.

I first visited Michael Durtnall in May 2018. I found his details through a google search. I was suffering from sacroiliac joint pain. As I live in Prague, I had first consultanted three different specialists there but these did not help me, on the contrary the pain got worst to the point I was suffering in all positions, even lying down. Despite the hefty costs of a session I decided to book an appointment with Dr Durtnall. He gave me a thorough first assessment with standings xrays and then did some treatment. It literally took him ten minutes and my pain was gone. I had been suffering from sacroiliac pain for 4 months so that really impressed me. The treatment itself was not painful at all. I have been visiting Michael for two follow up appointments since then and I am completely recovered now in the sacroiliac joint area. We are currently working on aligning the neck area due to poor posture from working at a computer all day. He has given me some exercises and suggestions in terms of posture standing and sitting as well as chair and pillow recommendations. I therefore thoroughly recommend Michael for sacroiliac pain. The cost may be a bit high but it is worth every penny. He is very approachable and interested in his patients. He is also very knowledgable in anything that relates to the spine.

I injured my back 8 years ago and as a result was diagnosed with chronic right SI joint pain which over the years had a domino effect and caused some chronic pain in my groin, pelvic pain as well as my foot which I could feel even when resting. I got treated multiple times by various healthcare professionals (physios, osteos, accupunture, physicians, etc) both in Canada and the UK with at most 10% improvement. After my 1st appointment with Michael, my pain was about 90% gone. I simply couldn't believe it. After my 2nd treatment, I was virtually pain free. It has now been 4 months since that last appointment and I am practically back to my old self. Thank you Michael for giving me my body and life back!

A. H.

Fantastic Treatment from start to finish. Everything was thoroughly explained and I felt consistently in safe hands. My back is much better now. Thank You Dr Chris Berlingieri and Sayer Clinics.

S. T.

It was a wonderful experience. I never thought that someone would be able to correct my posture, generating stress and frustration due to my personal failure to correct it. Indeed, Dr Dutnall have been an excellent doctor who provided me a real guidance and help in order to effectively correct and strengthen my posture that was just worsening over the time. I strongly recommend the clinic.

Coccyx and Pelvic Floor diagnosis and treatment at Sayer Clinic London. In chronic rectal pain since 2008, worsened after recommended haemorrhoid operation with numerous further debilitating symptoms. 5 colorectal surgeons, 6 GPs dozens of subsequent tests and 2 other operations over 10 years all to no avail. Came across the Sayer Clinic and after the first Coccyx treatment from Michael and Internal Pelvic floor muscle session from Karolina It was clear I was going to be back in the game. Nearly didn't go, cancelled once. Been a life changer for me. Don't wait

I initially found out about Sayer Clinics via google and it turned out to be a great choice. I now regularly book appointments with Rebecca Gilbert who is a fountain of knowledge for all physio / chiropractic related issues. Dr Gilbert is friendly , approachable and extremely professional which is a perfect combination. highly recommendable.

I came to see Dr Durtnall in the middle of the year for Costochondritis. I had sharp pains in my sternum that made everyday life quite difficult. A few months later I am now completely pain free and now enjoy a much better quality of life.

I started having severe rib pain when I was 3 months pregnant that got progressively worse during the pregnancy. After the pregnancy I saw numerous consultants, physics and chiropractors to get my rib sorted but 2 years on and several procedures later I was in chronic pain everyday. I finally came across the Sayer Clinic and under the care of Michael and Karolina I'm finally on the mend and can look forward to a pain free life again. They are the first people who were really hands on and worked on the issues causing the pain instead of just giving me painkillers to mask the pain. I can't recommend them highly enough.

M. P.

I have suffered with back and neck problems for most of my life. I am very round-shouldered and have always had trouble standing-up straight. I had a particularly bad pain in March/April while away in Brazil and could not move my neck more than an inch either way. I came to see Michael Durtnell as soon as I got back and after 8 months of treatment I am now standing straighter than I have done in 20 years and my neck has more movement than I can remember. Another thing Michael has helped me with is my weight. I have had weight problems for a long time and this has not helped my back or neck. He encouraged me to start a diet plan and now, after 2 months, with his, my friends and family support, I'm well on my way to reaching my goal. I'm feeling healthier, straighter and fitter than I have for years. Thank you, Michael.

H. N.

I can't rate Sayer highly enough! Michael has not only eased my constant back pain, but has taught me how to prevent it via correct posture and stretches. I'm so happy I chose to come to Sayer and highly recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain.

If you are looking for a physio who could show you another way how to deal with your back pain - Isabel at Sayer Clinic will help you do that. You can feel that she is amazingly confident in what she is doing, as in my case, lower back pain relief was almost immediate! She will definitely share with you her absolutely endless knowledge of joint&muscle biomechanics to help you focus on the right posture during the day. I was doing a lot of exercises to help my lower back pain before I went to Sayer's, and most of them didn't have a positive effect which was very disappointing, my motivation for exercising went down. Most of them were good exercises, but it turned out that I was doing them in a wrong way. Thanks to Isabel now I know where my attention needs to be during training, her advise and expertise were very beneficial, will be coming back for more!

B. S.

Sayers Clinic are a very friendly clinic with highly intelligent staff. They’re communication and care are both effective and fantastic . They’re very helpful in telling you what you need to know whereas some clinics will tell you what you want to hear. I’d highly recommend their services as the quality service provided is worth it.

A. H.

I have been seeing both Michael Durtnall (chiropractor) and Marta Oliveira (physio) over the past 12 months for a long term coccyx injury and pelvic/hip pain and cant rate them highly enough - cant imagine where I would have been without them! I had seen a number of therapists before finding them and had limited progress up until that point - Michael gave me a clear diagnosis after a long time without being able to get one and both him and Marta have worked together on getting me back on track since then. Highly recommend both of them and the clinic in general.

I lived with my horrible exhausting lack of energy because of my lower back pain since I was 14 years old, it became unbearable when I fell down the stairs and had coccyx fracture in 2014. I had pain 24seven I avoided doing any kind of effort even house work, I even couldn't sit for a long time which affected my work. Now I'm a different person! first time I went to Sayer clinic I only requested that they get me to have a normal life with no pain and I could workout again! I was only 29 years old. they did more than they promised such a professional team! they all work together and all get any update about your case so whenever you go they know what you have been through yesterday or the week before. And if you have any inquiries the Admin ladies Alexandra and Lucie are stars they response immediately. First time I went in in 2015 I fully understood what I have though i had the chance to travel abroad but no one helped me with an answer. I Went back to Sayer clinic in March 2016 then back again in July 2017 had intensive sessions with Michael Durtnal,Marek Gibson,Marta Dias De Oliveira,Katy Gonçalves. I will be going back for my last treatment sessions in November or December this year again. Finally I would like to state that the treatment plan Michael told me the first day I met him is absolutely true such an honest person and knows what he is doing.

K. F.

Words can not begin to describe how thankful I am that I found Michael and Marta at Sayer Clinic. They have truly turned my life around in the last 12 months. I suffered with chronic coccyx pain and other associated pains and numbness which nobody seemed able to treat, I was told I had to live with it but this simply is not true. If you have similar health problems, please put your faith in sayer clinic like I did and you will not regret it. They truly are the best and I will be forever grateful.

H. G.

I can't recommend Dr Michael Durtnall and his team at Sayer Clinics highly enough. He has corrected my posture and re-aligned my spine, stopping considerable back pain that I was suffering from several years ago. I am so grateful for all Michael's care. They are a wonderful team.

A. H.

I'm unbelievably grateful to have found Michael and the Sayer Clinic! I had been suffering from on and off costochondritis pain caused by undiagnosed spine alignment issues for years without being able to properly understand or identify how to treat it. After just 5 weekly visits with Michael, I feel more empowered to correct my spinal alignment and my costochondritis discomfort is already at least 50% better. I can't recommend Michael and the clinic enough if you're dealing with anything similar!

S. W.

Sayer Clinic have been an amazing find. The treatment I have received from Dr Michael, Dr Chris and Chifumi has been world class! From my diagnosis of costochondritis, Sayer Clinic has been outstanding in treating and managing the condition. They really helped me at time when I was at a loss and in significant pain and distress. The treatment is a very holistic approach, coupled with their vast knowledge, skill set and expertise. This includes work on posture, sitting, physiotherapy, massage therapy and managing the condition day to day. They have also signposted me to equipment, which has been invaluable. With Sayer Clinic, they are able to answer questions, alleviate fears, treat you with amazing results and take you on a positive path to rehabilitation. I could not recommend the clinic enough!

L. D.

Having had persistent chest pains (very likely costochondritis) since April following a viral infection, Dr Durtnall and Ms Fukui have been absolutely fantastic in getting me 80% of the way back to normal. I’m continuing to improve, and at this point the pain has become an annoyance rather than being debilitating or a barrier to 99% of my normal activities. I’ve found this especially impressive since my first appointment was only at the beginning of July! All the clinic staff I’ve interacted with have been incredibly professional and knowledgeable, as well as having very pleasant bedside manner, and administrative queries are responded to quickly and efficiently. If you’re suffering from chest/rib pain in particular, I can’t recommend booking an appointment enough.

A. D.

I can’t recommend the Sayer Clinic enough. Having suffered ongoing neck pain for years I had looked at seeing a chiropractor for help and I’m really glad to have chosen this clinic. Chirs Berlingieri is fantastic, after my first appointment the pain I was feeling practically disappeared. On my 7th session now and I’m finally able to sleep and continue with my life pain free. If you’re thinking of having treatment for neck or back pain, this is the clinic for you.

N. U.

Dr. Michael Durtnall has really helped me with ongoing back problems. He was the only practitioner who was able to correctly diagnose debilitating coccyx pain, and present me with a path to treating and managing it. He also helps when I have neck pain, and recently unlocked my middle back - which was going into painful spasms for months - in one quick session. Chifumi is also a wonderful massage therapist and I try to see her regularly to prevent my muscles from stiffening up. Everyone at the clinic is so helpful and friendly, they really put you at ease and have been excellent at making sure that they follow covid-safe protocols so you have nothing to worry about.

A. K.

Absolutely great clinic, I had severe neck pain and after 2 months of pain killers with no effect, I visited the clinic and Chris. Just after the second session, I felt so much better and by the fourth session pain was completely gone. Cannot recommend enough!
