Myofascial Release UK

Had a knee injury in October. A friend recommended Vicki Harvey. She has taken the time to understand my problem and listen. My treatment was beneficial and the advice given was appropriate in helping me get moving better although I may need surgery at a later date. Thank you

I am a complete Osteopathy convert, I was recommended Solihull Osteopathic Practice about a year ago but as I lead an active lifestyle and I'm a regular gym-goer, I didn't think it would be of benefit and the pains I suffered I had pretty much accepted as what I had to deal with. On arrival, you are greeted by the lovely receptionists I have met Donna and Fiona both of which made me feel at ease straight away and also Monty is adorable! You feel relaxed very quickly. Well, after visiting now for 4 treatment sessions I have a new respect and understanding for my body and how it works. I see Jeremy who is extremely skilled at pinpointing what I would term "pain epicentres" managing to understand my rambled attempts at explanations of where I feel the pain is coming from, then he is able through palpation, to find the exact trigger point. After living with knee pain since childhood, to finally understand where the pain is actually coming from ( Jeremy explained a misformation of my hip) this was clarity for the first time in my life regarding this issue, of which doctors had previously misdiagnosed. Tantamount to this I've received treatment by way of deep massage and manipulation for TMJ disorder and ongoing neck pain, as well as, calf and ankle treatment down to my toes! Ask plenty of questions when you visit you get many answers as to how your individual anatomy works and advice on the effects of stress, emotions, sleep patterns and even how the way we breathe effects our daily life! Treatment and instruction on at home daily exercises and breathing techniques have improved my overall health tremendously, I have recommended many friends and family to Solihull Osteopathic Practice of which many have booked appointments for their complaints, I would recommend them to anyone. I have literally been fixed head to toe!

I cannot recommend Pete highly enough. I was put in touch with Pete following a Facebook plea to a local group asking for help for my then 6-month-old son. He had been diagnosed with torticollis at 13 weeks old but (due to the pandemic) his referral to NHS physiotherapy had not come to fruition some 3 months later. I had been doing some stretching exercises the GP had suggested to me but the torticollis was not improving at all. At 6 months old my son had very poor head control for his age and was unable to sit unaided. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the treatment. Pete put me and my baby at ease right away. He explained what he was doing and what he found as he went along. He has a fantastic way with babies. My son was mesmerised by him and the treatment put him to sleep so it was obviously extremely relaxing. I couldn’t believe it. After only one single session with Pete, my baby was able to hold his head straight whilst having his tea in the high chair that evening. He was also able to look fully to the right, something he had never been able to do. Then the very next morning he sat up completely unaided and played with his toys. It was a complete miracle. My son improved and improved after each subsequent session. The improvements in my son’s neck meant he was able to tolerate tummy time and he began rolling and now commando crawling. I only wish I knew about Pete and his magic hands when my baby was 13 weeks old. It would have saved me a lot of anxiety, worry and sleepless nights. Thank you Pete from the bottom of our hearts. You have made all the difference to us and we are eternally grateful!

I found this appointment very helpful. Amanda listened carefully, understood the problem I was having and gave me good advice. I felt more hopeful about being able to improve my pain level and mobility. She also promptly sent me a set of exercises to do. I can feel improvement already.
