“Just a brief illustration of the flexibility and diversity of this excellent Clinic.
I have been a patient of Jeremy James for the past two or three years having requested his professional help re: a range of muscular/ joint pains caused by a shortened Rugby career.
I am 68 years old and have previously had knee, neck and heart surgery!
At the request of my movement therapist I made an appointment with Jeremy following a newly experienced, recurring pain in my calf….I assumed this was muscular.
Jeremy went through my usual list of ailments and came to a surprising (for me) conclusion with regard to this calf pain. Following a thorough examination he came to the conclusion that this was not muscular but, in his opinion, was a vascular problem……… having discovered a weak pulse in foot and wrist!
He immediately wrote a letter to my GP who following receipt of this, insisted that I attend A and E at my local hospital immediately!
I did as requested and ‘to cut a long story short’, was referred to a Cardiac Consultant and have since had corrective procedures to restore the efficiency of my heart.
I have offered this document to the above, so that prospective patients can be sure that, at this Clinic staff are highly trained not only in Osteopathy but also to look out for the ‘unusual/unexpected’ and, above all are not afraid to back their own judgements by referring patients to other health professionals outside of the Osteopathic remit.”
