I have been going to see Bobby for over 8 years now and I really hope he never leaves... it is no exaggeration to say I'd rather wait to see him - even if it means longer discomfort - than see anyone else. Not that everyone isn't lovely and very skilled at the practice - they are - it's just Bobby knows me inside out when it comes to osteo and my approach to exercise and strength training. When I've done something stupid, he will still find a way to help me keep moving and suggest things I can do - rather than just tell me what I can't do. He's had a lot of experience of my various issues and minor niggles as well as my approach to exercise and movement - i am now able to explain in layman terms my issue and pain level and he will know how far to go and what I need - even if it's a particularly sharp elbow! l would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bobby and the whole practice- its so easy to book appointments and the front-of-house team are lovely.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friendly, reliable practice from booking an appointment to receiving treatment. A safe place to receive care and treatment.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bobby Difiore is a magician who has kept the mild osteoarthritis in my hips at bay for three years now – monthly sessions which have kept me gardening and walking more or less as before. Thanks, Bobby!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Bobby enough for his amazing help and support. He is extremely professional and thanks to him I am able to be pain free again. Thank you Bobby!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Tim and the team for great care ! You have kept me in top condition so I have the freedom and mobility to participate in the events I enjoy 😊Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jason is an incredible osteopath! I came in with a strained QL muscle that had spread to my shoulder, glutes, and leg, and Jason has been working patiently to connect everything and treat the root cause. His sessions are very hands-on, and he takes the time to explain clearly what each movement and manipulation is designed to achieve. He is thorough, friendly, and incredibly effective. I always feel listened to — Jason pays close attention to my specific needs and behaviours and gives really practical advice about what to do (and what to avoid) between sessions. His approach feels truly holistic, and the results speak for themselves. Thank you so much, Jason, for your professionalism, knowledge, and care. And a big thank you as well to Myriam and all the receptionists — they are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasure.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Juliet for my chronic tech neck and she’s been fantastic in helping me find a solution rather than temporary relief. Everyone I’ve come into contact with at the clinic has been friendly, Juliet in particular is very personable with incredible strength. I would highly recommend her services.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd like to thank this clinic, particularly Juliet, for their remarkable treatment of my slipped disc and helping me cope through the worst pain I've ever encountered. I travelled 1 and a half hours to this clinic, because they were able to refer me to an MRI quickly, which the local NHS service refused to do multiple times. The scan revealed a very sinister looking injury and helped me to understand why i was feeling the way I did. Juliet was excellent at explaining my scans to me and providing me with relief whilst I awaited my orthopedic review. Sadly I live much too far, so I've been looking for a local osteopath. Thus far I've not found any therapist that lives up to the standard of Juliet, so who knows, I may have to return to Berkhamsted to receive the first class treatment I deserve.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick, professional service. Excellent 'couch' manner; having seen a number of gruff medics in hospital who don't explain what is actually the cause and going on the osteopath I saw was faultless and very professional.
Thank you
This is a thank you to Tim Hanwell for his considerate and helpful discussion with me this morning and for his advice. I very much appreciate his professional, straight forward and friendly approach.

Excellent service...
Excellent service from start to finish. So easy to book a convenient timely appointment - just what you need when you are in pain and in need of a quick response. Bobby was brilliant, explained the issue really well and got on and got it sorted. Would highly recommend.

The treatment is first class...
I have been going to Berkhamsted Osteopaths regularly for over ten years and would not hesitate in recommending them. Any back or muscular problems I have had have always been successfully resolved.
Simon, Berkhamsted
Very friendly and professional...
Tim and Juliet run a very friendly and professional practice. After a very painful and bad back, they had me back playing golf again after a short series of treatments..
Mr G, Berkhamsted

Always go the extra mile...
Berkhamsted Osteopaths are always friendly, willing to go the extra mile to help. They want to make sure that they provide individual treatments. I have been a client of Berkhamsted Osteopaths for nearly 7 years through two pregnancies to date. I highly recommend them.

caring knowledgeable and professional...
Had a bad back in spasm and went for the 1st time to Berkhamsted Osteopaths , they got someone in on a Saturday Bobby Difiore and he was excellent.
Very nice young Osteo caring knowledgeable and professional. He worked very hard on my back ( I am not on the petite side ) I have been to a few over the years and he was excellent.
Significant transformation...
I have been a patient of Tim Hanwell since 2005 when my Lumbar Stenosis problem first started. At the time the pain was excruciating.
Following referral to an orthopaedic consultant surgeon the decision was to operate; however, my GP advised osteopathy as a possible alternative to surgery, and recommended Tim.
Following intensive osteopathy sessions the transformation was significant; I’ve been visiting Tim since then and whenever my back problem recurs. I always found Tim highly professional, caring and engaging.

Without Juliet's expertise, I would still be suffering...
I was in a lot of pain with my back but thought it would fix itself over time. After more than a month of worsening pain, I decided to go and see Juliet, after a personal recommendation. I should have sought treatment sooner, but like most people, (particularly men) put it off.
Juliet managed to ease the pain and loosen my fairly twisted back; she also put me on a simple stretching exercise regime. With every session, my back improved. I did have a relapse, but that was down to me not taking advice. Again, Juliet sorted me out pretty quickly.
Like most people, I spend a lot of time sitting at work. Over time this has come back to bite me.
Being pain-free makes a huge difference, being able to sleep and walk - the things we take for granted.
Without Juliet's expertise, I would still be suffering and not getting better.

A holistic approach to treatment...
I shadowed at Berkhamsted Osteopaths one day in the summer – here is my reflection:
The staff were very welcoming and the practitioners were very knowledgeable and openly shared their knowledge with me. I witnessed the osteopaths looking at the patients holistically, not only treating them in the clinic but giving advice on changing their lifestyle to further their improvement.
It was so interesting to see the innovative treatment of IDD Therapy and to hear from the users themselves the improvements it has made to their lives – one example I remember was someone who couldn’t do the simple task of bending down to tie their shoe laces and after the treatment they were able to freely bend again.
Thank you once again for the opportunity and making me feel so welcome, it was a very insightful experience.
