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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.jonathan benton2024-01-06Quick, 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sally Melrose2023-08-17Had a really successful and pain free experience with Tim , I came in with pain and walked out feeling great! Tim is very friendly and clearly knows his stuff. As a dental hygienist I have seen a lot of practitioners in my life but I can truly rate Tim as the best. Good experience and I will def be coming back . Thank you Tim!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dr Ola Aesthetics2023-06-12Impeccable service. As a dentist needing a fair amount of care for my back it is great to come here and get the ongoing care needed to ensure I feel my best. Berkamsted osteopaths were recommended to me by a patient of my own and he was right about them! The post treatment results are always great and I feel so much better. I also bring my mother here and I wouldn't look elsewhere. We see Juliet who is so lovely and makes us feel looked after. The front of house team are also very warm and welcoming and are always willing to help. They are prompt with replying to enquiries and go above and beyond . Thank you to the the entire team!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Clare Swatman2023-04-20I've been to see Juliet about numerous aches and pains over the last few years, and I come away feeling better every single time. I've seen many osteopaths over the years and this is the first time I haven't felt pressured to keep coming back for endless appointments - which means if I feel I need to see someone, I'm not worried about spending a fortune every time I have a twinge. Honestly, that makes such a huge difference. I would recommend this practice to anyone needing some pain relief - I think they might just all be miracle workers!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Julian Ormerod2023-04-19I've been a patient on and off for over 20 years. I have always found the care, attention and expertise of the whole team excellent. They get to the heart of the issue and have found solutions to my problems. I would have no hesitation in recommending them (as I have done regularly!!).Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Hugh Jeale2023-02-05I’ve recently completed a course of IDD treatment here. I’m very happy with the result and the way it was managed. Tim, Bobby and the team are excellent people. Since a serious RTA in 1998 I have seen many different practitioners and I have no hesitation in saying I rate this practice right at the top. Michael Jefferies
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.
