Spinal Rehabilitation - Neck and Back Injury Devon, UK

I have been suffering from an inflammatory skin condition (rosacea) for nearly 40 years. The symptoms were pretty typical with reddening/flushing, papules and pustules, extreme senstivity and patches of dry and flaking skin - not a good look. Unfortunately the medical profession are divided on the cause of this condition and many theories are put forward therefore treatment is difficult. The effect upon my life was profound and I suffered very low self esteem and recurring bouts of depression. I followed the traditional course of treatment of antibiotics (oral and topical) and a gentle skin care routine. I had periods of remission but lots of flare ups. My immune system was absolutely wrecked from the over use of antibiotics and they didn't work any longer. I had a particularly bad flare up that I just couldn't get under control and started looking for other ways that might help. I came across an article in a magazine by a well known celebrity who suffered from the same condition which had been effectively cured by taking the naturopathic route so I began my research. I realised that the internet whilst incredibly helpful, left me very confused as to how I should approach such a course of treatment and realised I needed a professional who could explain it all to me and put me on the right path. I found Hamish and made an appointment. I was given advice about eating and drinking; advised to take fish oils, vitamin D and digestive enzymes. I was already taking primrose oil, probiotics and and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar each morning which I continued with. I have recently been prescribed a course of zinc because I was found to be deficient in that area. I was given advice about nutrition exercise, sleep pattern and managing stress. Within a very short space of time - a few weeks at most - I noticed a gradual improvement. The spots became fewer, the redness subsided and the flushing rarely happens any more. As time went on the improvement continued and I can say with confidence that my skin has never looked better and I would go so far as to say it now looks normal. I sincerely wish I had found this method of treatment many many years ago and would highly recommend this approach to anyone suffering from such conditions - it has literally saved my life. I chose Hamish's clinic because I liked the website and the reviews it contained and also because it was situated in the locality where I lived. The clinic has a professional yet homely and welcoming feel about it which I liked very much. I even spotted courgettes and herbs growing in the courtyard which made me smile. I found Hamish to be awe inspiring - his knowledge and energy lifted my spirits enormously and I knew he could help me. He took the time to listen to me, to explain how and why the body reacts as it does and how a naturopathic and holistic approach was the way forward. I cannot rate my experience and outcomes highly enough.

I contacted the clinic as I needed help to correct kyphosis and scoliosis in my spine which was giving me some pain in my neck and shoulders. From the very beginning, I received nothing but the best service and treatment. Mike Ashton is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what he does, being able to employ several different techniques to achieve the results needed. It was a joy to work with someone of this standard. The treatment I received was superb and in a few months of hard work with one appointment a week I had changed from being fairly stooped to nearly straight-backed. I did not expect to achieve such results in such a short time. Every single appointment Mike Ashton worked very hard at correcting my problems with great success. I am delighted with the result which has made such a difference in my life. I now find movement easier and less tiring. He also gave me sufficient knowledge about my condition for me to continue to help myself and keep, even improve, my posture further. My experience attending this clinic was nothing but positive. Mike Ashton is very professional in his approach, very empathetic and friendly. I felt relaxed and confident in his treatment. He is a good listener and has an innate ability to get to the root of the problem. The clinic building itself is located in Modbury High Street and the clinic itself is in a large room above a shop. The room is well decorated, clean and comfortable. I cannot recommend the treatment at this clinic highly enough. In my experience, it was very good value for money.

I had been suffering from Knee ligament pain for many months and Elizabeth quickly identified the problem and affected a cure with massage and other treatments, an exercise regime has kept the problem away. I wish I had made an appointment much earlier, excellent value for money and very highly recommended. Elizabeth was recommended to me and without hesitation I would also recommend her services. Fantastic.

A month ago I could barely move with sciatica. There has been steady improvement. Sarah was so professional and immediately imbued confidence resulting in a speedy resolution. It was a treat to meet her. I saw an advert in the village newsletter. Thank you so much, Sarah.

I tripped and lunged forward and experienced a dreadful pulling sensation in the back of my left thigh and burttock. After a few weeks I saw Nilufer, she asked various questions and examined me and said it was a pulled hamstring, she also showed me where it was from a book. She gave me massage and some ultra sound and advice how to manage the pain when sitting. Nilufer is a very kind and gentle lady and was very understanding of my problem I went to Nilufer because I knew her from our local physio therapy department and she also knew me. It avoided any anxiousness on my part so I was quite relaxed over my visit.
