"Friendly, Approachable, Sense of humour, listens to your needs, Boosts your self esteem, and knows what she is doing. Helps with other issues wherever possible. Elvina puts her all into her work and sessions can be fun. She pushes you into doing things that you think cannot be done but with her help they can be. For example I myself walk in to most sessions bent over a stick but walk out of every session with no stick and Elvina is always there for me in case on the way out. She will always put herself out for you come rain or shine. 10/10. Will recommend her treatment to  everyone."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Mrs. Gill Ransom

"I visited Elvina after sustaining an injury to my lower back, caused whilst caring for a member of my family who required physical support.
Elvina was able to provide relief almost instantly, and I was able to feel the benefit by the end of the session, when my mobility had improved significantly. The treatment and subsequent exercises I was given meant that I continued to improve and was able to avoid further injury or inflammation.Elvina also called on her expertise to advise me in how best to position myself when caring for persons of limited mobility. This meant that I was able to provide a strong and reliable support when lifting or helping the person to move, and could therefore help to the best of my ability without sustaining injury, which would have severely limited what I could do to aid them.
This information was invaluable to my family and I, and we are extremely grateful for Elvina’s assistance."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Kate

"Elvina is not only a very effective osteopath but has a wonderful manner about her too. Somehow she makes you feel better and in her own way is treating your mind as well as your body. This is a great gift and something that cannot be taught. She’s a good listener; she makes me laugh and sorts out my knots into the bargain!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sally Hawke.

"A typical male. I would call myself. If it hurt in the gym it would get better by its self. No it does not, I have found out the hard way. My elbows would not get better by themselves. So I spoke to Elvina and booked in with her after 4 appointments. Sorted, I now know how to stretch and look after my elbows. Speak to the small woman. She will helpyou."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       John R Smith

"All I can say about Elvina and her practice is that she is great and her treatment works. As a full-contact fighter in karate my life is full of injuries and strains and in Elvina I found someone who can deal with it all. I trust her completely to ease my pains and aches and on top of that we always have a giggle."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Petra Markova 

"The idea of having an MOT made sense to me after repeated physiotherapy treatments had failed to heal my Achilles tendons problems. That was almost two years ago.
Elvina’s verdict after her first assessment was “it is doable” and what an effective healthcare service I have had since! My Achilles tendons problems are long forgotten, my posture has been corrected, the back pain has gone and even my tennis elbow has disappeared which I had taped for 15 years before each game of tennis. I am indebted to Elvina for her hard work with all my aches and pains and appreciate her professionalism. Her encouragement, devising of exercises and kind checking that I actually did them, helped to undo years of body neglect and improve my mobility. Her caring attitude, making me feel comfortable during treatment, being a good listener and the laughs we had all contributed to her success. I trust Elvina to sort out any aches and pains and can highly recommend her."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Sigrid Kadolsky

"I recently went to see Elvina following a shoulder injury playing badminton.  I was in a great deal of pain and was unable to fully move my arm.  After a 30min session I had considerably more flexibility in my arm and most of the pain had eased away.  Elvina gave me a number of exercises and stretches to do over the next week and strict instructions not to play badminton for 3 weeks.  After 4 sessions and continued stretches and exercises I was back playing badminton with full strength and movement in my arm.  I have been treated by Elvina for over two years now after every sports injury and each time I have been back into sport in a matter of weeks.  She also gave me a warm up and cool down routine before and after every sports session that has really helped me.  I always fully recommend Elvina to all my friends and family - you are guaranteed a friendly, professional and effective treatment every time!"                                                                                                                                                                                      Heidi Sanderson

"I had been suffering from severe neck pain for months and it was making me really miserable and affecting my work. I visited a doctor on more then one occasion but got no real answers or cure. After with much nagging from my wife and a recommendation from a friend and also my doctor I went to see an osteopath. I finally went to see Elvina.
I can honestly say that after just a couple of visits things improved, and now that I have had a few more sessions I am virtually pain free.
All my family and friends cannot believe the change in me and I just wish I had started seeing Elvina sooner. (The difference was so noticeable that my colleagues at work even jokingly offered to pay for treatments should I have needed them but was no longer able to afford them.) I would definitely recommend her to anyone."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Brian Luton 

"Elvina takes the time to identify the causes of problem symptoms and along with her treatments provides sound advice on how to prevent or reduce them in the first place. I have been visiting Elvina for over 2 years, she is always friendly and professional and I highly recommend her services."                                                                                                                Clare Stace

"Elvina is wonderful she makes the session fun and enjoyable, I do martial arts and pulled muscles in my leg from not stretching enough. I could not do any training because of the injury but after seeing Elvina my injury started to go and now I have no problems at all. I still see Elvina for check ups and thank her for all she’s done for me."
Stephen Cooke

"I have used lots of Osteopaths and Chiropractors in the past and Elvina is the first to identify my problem. I am over 6ft tall and after seeing Elvina I now stand up straight and my back pain has disappeared."                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Howard Storey.

"Being a 6 foot 2 inches tall office worker, I suffer so regularly from lower back, neck and shoulder pain that it has become part of my life. In Elvina, I have found an osteopath who doesn’t only manage to ease my pain every single time, but also teaches me about my body and gives me exercises that I can do on my own. Elvina is incredibly good at what she does but her good nature, her strict advice and her jokes make every visit not only a pleasure to the body but also the heart and mind. If you wanna do something good for yourself, go and visit Elvina."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Abena Dadze-Arthur 

 "I first visited Elvina having seen other osteopaths and physiotherapists over a number of years for various injuries. I immediately notice a difference in Elvina’s approach - she took a whole body view, rather than just treating the areas where I thought there was a problem.
She suggested other possible causes and gave me lots of helpful exercises, stretches and general advice on how to keep me in good working order. Her philosophy, in my experience, is definitely prevention rather then cures, but if a problem does arise I trust her to sort it out. I find her approachable, friendly and caring, but above all Elvina is always professional and effective in keeping me mobile and pain free. I would recommend her treatment whether you have a specific problem or just feel in need of an MOT."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Helen Randall

"Having spent a weekend with severe back pain I decided that professional help was needed, and visited Elvina at her clinic where she carried out checks on my posture and flexibility.
I left Elvina’s still in great pain but equipped with a few exercises that should help to restore my back to its natural function. These I did as was advised, and to my great relief helped me to make a full recovery.
I continue to visit Elvina’s since I find her consultations beneficial. My posture has improved, for I am more aware of the manner in which I sit, stand, and walk.
Thanks Elvina"

"It feels like Elvina has given me my life back! Four visits and I can do things I’d given up hope of ever being able to do again. I can walk downstairs; I can run again and wear my ‘grown up’ shoes – with heels on! I look forward to my sessions with Elvina, as she is a lovely, warm lady who even manages to get me to relax during the treatment - no mean achievement after a commute home from work."     

Verena Price  

"I started seeing Elvina for treatments about 5 or 6 years ago, I was having problems with a stiff neck and very tense shoulders. After 3 treatments she had sorted out the problem and recommended exercises that I could do to stop the aches and pains coming back. I still see Elvina for osteopath treatments every 4 to 6 weeks depending on how many knots I have, its like having a monthly MOT for your body to keep you ticking over. I even saw Elvina through both my pregnancies, which helped a great deal with the changes that my body was going through. The great thing about seeing Elvina is that she is very understanding and pleasant, she helps create a relaxed atmosphere to put you at ease."

I had Elvina check my two month old daughter, Bakshish, over to check that everything was in alignment. The treatment just happened to be on the same day as Bakshish`s BCG vaccination and her 2 month immunisations. I originally I thought it would be quite a hectic and traumatic day for her, but it was quite the opposite. She seemed to be quite calm and did not even seem to mind when she had her BCG vaccination and only flinched when having her 2 month immunisations. So the following month before she had her 3 month immunisations, I took her to see Elvina. Elvina checked her over and that afternoon Bakshish had two injections, one in each leg and she just looked and the nurse, there were no tears at all, the injections did not seem to effect her at all. There was no need to give her paracetamol, she was perfectly fine. I would definitely recommend taking your little one to see Elvina, before having immunisations, she can surely help relax them.
