Freedom Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic

John has been amazing at helping me with a bad back, from correcting the problem at that point to then devising a plan of exercises etc to ensure we keep on top of it and I couldn't recommend him enough! Thank you John

John Blachford of Freedom Osteopathy is a really good Osteopath, I have no problem in recommending him and his company.I have now consulted him on a number of occasions including a trapped nerve in my leg, for a whiplash injury following a car crash and just recently when my Achilles tendon flared up as a result of an old twisted ankle injury. On all occasions his course of therapy has worked really well.John is a very personable, chatty gent, easy to get on with and who will put you at ease if it is your first time. He has a good way of explaining what your problem is, in terms which are easy for us non-medical people to understand. His consulting room at Shelly Manor is clean, smart and seems well equipped for his work. I understand that he also works from another location in Poole.I would definitely recommend seeing him if you have any aches or pains that need sorting out. Although I found out about him through personal recommendation, I have since found out that the company I work for also sends people to his practice if they injure themselves at work. Another good recommendation!

I cannot recommend John enough! I've had long-standing pain with my back for many years, over which time I've seen numerous physiotherapists. The physio offered temporary relief to the pain, however John has made a lasting difference. His expertise is exactly what I needed, I only wish I'd found him earlier!!

I first attended John Blachford's clinic when I moved to Dorset three years ago after 20 years of chronic back pain. Within a few appointments, John had me pain-free and three years later, I've had no reoccurrence of the regular acute episodes that kept me from daily work and life. He is a fantastic osteopath and a caring, deeply knowledgeable professional. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he is truly remarkable.

John has been helping me for a few years now, and I find him very experienced , and would recommend him to everybody, he has just sorted a very bad muscle problem I have just had.

friendly and straightforward to deal with and saw me quickly, really helped with my bad back. Fully Recommended A+++++++++

I have been seeing John for a number of years for various, recurring issues and he has been brilliant every time - from supporting me with back problems during pregnancy to helping with recurring hip pain. I couldn't recommend him enough and wouldn't go to see anyone else!

I’ve been treated by John for a few years after being recommended to him by a friend. He’s a great osteopath and is friendly, knowledgeable and puts you at ease straight away. I’d highly recommend him to anyone in pain.

I've been coming to Freedom for a couple of years after a referral from a family member. I am active, but injury-prone it seems. John is great in all senses. He immediately puts you at ease, he explains what's going on in an easy to understand and really friendly manner, he's physically strong enough to manipulate me safely (I'm nearly 15 stone) and most importantly he fixes problems! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Freedom to anyone. If you're looking for someone to help, stop looking you've found the solution!
