Exeter Acupuncture & Osteopaths

I am a physiotherapist and a colleague of John. I find him passionate, knowledgable and enthusiastic. He has a caring nature and I have only heard excellent feedback from his patients. If I have a problem John would be the first person on whom I would call.He is an osteopath and acupuncturist. He has been able to combine the two disciplines to offer a very unique and effective approach.

I have been receiving treatment from John for a shoulder problem, which I had been experiencing for quite a few months, prior to seeing him. Physio treatment and exercises had had little effect in alleviating the pain; which at times was excruciating,I decided to try acupuncture and looked on line for practitioners. I was impressed by John and Lisa’s website and actually ended up seeing John by default, as Lisa was starting her maternity leave the day after I contacted her.John combines a warm and caring welcome with an extremely professional approach. He explains what causes the pain and the treatment needed. The pain in my shoulder has lessen a great deal, thanks to the combination of skills and treatments which John offers.Also the clinic's location is good and easy to get to, without having to travel to Exeter itself.

After only 1 or 2 sessions, I was feeling energised and brighter. After 4 sessions, not only did I experience pain relief, but my sleep had improved beyond recognition. I was so amazed at how relaxing the sessions were: that was an added bonus! Thank you Lisa.

I cannot recommend John highly enough. After one session I was SO much more comfortable. Within three sessions I had recovered.I had regularly seen a fabulous osteopath in Bath & was really reluctant to see anyone else - but was forced to - due to my relocation to Devon. I needn't have worried. John is absolutely brilliant. He uses acupuncture alongside osteopathy - a real benefit!

I visited John after he was highly recommended to me. I had received treatment elsewhere for chronic tendonitis and tennis elbow with no success. John is fully qualified in both osteopathy and acupuncture and was able to use his skills in diagnosing and treating the root of my problems using both disciplines. I am delighted to report that I have made steady progress after each session and am now feeling 100% better. The Estuary Clinic is such a lovely environment in which to be treated and at all times I have received totally professional and effective care and advice. Thank you John.

John has made a significant difference to the quality of my life, within a few surprisingly effective treatments he dramatically improved my health. For the last five years I have been booking a few treatments a year, whenever I feel that my well-being is slipping. This is so effective that I have been without issue since!John is an interesting and knowledgeable practitioner and is always able to clearly explain any treatment he provides in a rational and reasoned manner.I highly recommend that you try a treatment and feel confident that you will be as impressed as I have been.

I attended because of persistent pain in my lower back, probably triggered by gardening.Previous experience of acupuncture suggested that this treatment might be helpful.The practitioner ( John) conducted a very thorough physiological examination to determine the root of the problem before commencing acupuncture treatment. I was appreciative of his professionalism and recommendations

John really knows his stuff. I have been receiving acupuncture treatment over the last 20 years at various places I have lived.Having moved to Exeter and started receiving treatment from John I can only say what a gem this man is.A caring professional nature coupled with an in depth knowledge of both Acupuncture and osteopathy plus a clear and concise way of explaining his treatments definitely makes John one of the best practitioners I have ever visited.Cannot recommend him enough, you will be pleased you visited him.

I have consulted John for an ongoing condition for several years, and his treatment has been very successful and now only requires acupuncture to maintain health. I particularly appreciate that John uses up to date evidence on which to base his treatment and he is very clear about the efficacy (or not) of acupuncture for a range of conditions.John has a calm and re-assuring manner and I believe that he is a very thoughtful and reflective practitioner.I would recommend his work without hesitation.

John is fantastic! I first saw him a at least 2 years ago for lower back problem. His use of both acupuncture and osteopathy helped in dealing with a long term issue to the point I can function again without ongoing treatment. I have popped back a couple times for other issues (working in an office is so bad for your posture) and he is always very professional and doesn't painfully snap you in half like some scary practitioners do! I have recommended him to many people and will continue to do so :)
