It’s amazing – I don’t even think about it anymore

I came to see Eleanor because I had plantar fasciitis in both feet, but very severely in my left foot. I was struggling to walk, and sometimes even to stand. Riding my horses and just getting around were all painful. I was thinking about it all the time, I was constantly very aware of it. But now, its amazing, I don’t even think about it anymore.  Now I'm back to riding and walking, which makes me so happy. I would absolutely recommend coming to Cathedral Osteopaths for treatment and advice.

Feeling absoulutely brilliant

Hello my name is Audrey and I’ve been to see Eleanor with the complaint of plantar fasciitis. It was really painful just to walk any kind of distance, I was struggling with day to day work and could not go out and enjoy walking. Now I am feeling absolutely brilliant, I can do a lot more walking; we are going to France and Canada over the summer and I can now go not worrying about how much I will be able to do I, I expect we will be enjoying lots of walking! Anyone struggling with a similar problem definitely needs to come to Cathedral Osteopaths and have treatment!

When I can to see Eleanor I was having severe pain in my heel and it was causing me a lot of bother because I didn’t feel like I was walking correctly, I was compensating on the other side and it just really hurt. It definitely started to effect my everyday life even though I tried using cold and resting it it still persisted so I knew I needed to get some further help. I enjoy playing the flute and lots of gardening which I couldn’t enjoy as much. Now I am absolutely loads better! If you’re suffering from a similar problem definitely get it seen to, have it looked at by someone as carefully as Eleanor did for me and follow her advice and treatment plan it has been extremely worth while!

“I can now do the things I used to, I would definitely recommend Cathedral Osteopaths”

When I came to Cathedral Osteopaths I was suffering from plantar fasciitis. It was really painful and I was limping a lot. It was making me feel very down, I felt like it had taken away a lot of my ability to do things like going walking. Now I am so much better, I can enjoy small walks and do the things I used to be able to do again, I can do more than 10 minutes housework without having to stop because of pain.

I would definitely recommend Cathedral Osteopaths, the therapy I’ve had here has helped a lot!

Cathedral Osteopaths is a sponsor of RCFC.  We do a weekly surgery there on training night.

I think it’s an amazing thing to have as a club. She’s definitely helped me with stuff and heavy legs. Definitely helps with recovery after match days and she’s helped a lot with injuries as well.

Chloe

Very helpful. If I didn’t see her I wouldn’t have known I’ve been battling with tendinitis. It's a long road but I’m getting better.

Leanna

Personally I think the physio is very beneficial, she’s nice and really professional.  Every time I have been there I’ve felt fit; she’s dedicated and works hard to make sure players are fit for our games. She’s really helped sort me and the rest of the boys out.

Nathan

I was struggling with lower back problems and pain from Osteoarthritis in my hips, It was making me miserable because when I came to do certain jobs it could be very painful. 

Since visiting Cathedral Osteopaths, I'm much improved.  The difference has been vast, I feel amazing and I can't say thank you enough.

Sue Sandy, Ripon

I hobbled to Cathedral Osteopaths with an extremely painful heel (plantair fasciitis).  Eleanor Schofield treated me over a six week course, and I left with a spring in my step, pain free and very happy.  What is more, I have been able to get back in my wellies (not worn for 6 months) and into the woods again.
Thoroughly recommend Cathedral Osteopaths, and you couldn’t have a more beautiful view of the cathedral PLUS an excellent coffee shop next door!

I am a primary school teacher, I have suffered from heel pain for quite a while now. When I came to see Eleanor walking really hurt, it hurt to put my foot down on the ground and it felt like I had limited movement and the pain was really bad in the mornings. I was doing less, avoiding going to the coast and avoiding places because I just couldn’t walk. I was avoiding doing the things I liked, such as countryside walks. I would normally walk to town and back instead of using the car but was unable to do this in case I was too sore to walk back. Now 6 weeks later I am really pleased, I did a 7 mile walk around Scarborough, even climbing up to the cliff top!

The exercises I’ve been taught, you can continue for life, the leg massages really helped with loosening up my issues and the exercises were good. Using the online videos and explanations they provide for at home helped make sure I was doing the exercises correctly too, helping it to be fool proof! I would definitely recommend coming to Cathedral Osteopaths, I could see a definite improvement whilst on my programme and Eleanor was knowledgeable and professional.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU.  IDD is a game changer! 

Hi, my name is Margaret McBride .Even though I’m past retirement age I still work doing hairdressing and nails in a nursing home. I love doing this as it gives so much pleasure to the residents.

IDD Therapy has really helped me a lot, it changed my life.

I have had chronic shoulder pain for years. I actually thought it was just part of the course of being a hairdresser and had adapted my movements to compensate.

Talking with Vanessa, she explained how it was linked to a trapped nerve on my Neck and that IDD would help.

I was quite sceptical but thought it was worth a try. The IDD was quite strange experience not painful just different. I only had 12 sessions rather than the 20 as it was my neck area that was been worked on. For a few weeks after I thought it hadn’t made that great an improvement (however Vanessa did tell me it would take a few weeks to settle).

But now…. WOW! No pain and my movement has improved 1000%.

I went to see Vanessa Robinson at Cathedral Osteopaths in March 2019. I had strained my lower back doing something simple on holiday.

I imagined things would soon settle down when I got back home, but unfortunately they didn't and a month later I was still struggling with everyday life - playing with grandchildren, working on the house, running etc. Vanessa completed a full review of my overall health. I also had a long-standing issue with my shoulder. I had previously had some physio which hadn't really made any difference, so it was something I had just learned to live with.

The first thing which impressed me was that this was not just trying some manipulation to see how it went, but there was a clear plan as to how I was going to get better. Secondly, because of her belief that all things body related are inter-linked she put me in touch with people who could help with another problem I had been struggling with for many years.

Now, at the end of 2019 I no longer suffer with back or shoulder pain. I am confident that I can enjoy games with my grandchildren, work on the house and garden without worry. I completed and enjoyed a 10 mile run in October, and am planning a half marathon in the spring. I intend to continue ongoing monitoring with Vanessa to ensure this restoration is maintained. So if you are having the same fears call Cathedral Osteopaths to get back your youth and vigour.

For over 30 years, I have had recurring neck pain, coupled with some sciatica. This had stopped me from free movement, and limited my home life and leisure activities. Having visited multiple specialists over the years, no one had managed to get to the route of the problem.

Following a pre-assessment with Vanessa, she recommended a 3 month plan with a fresh approach. This encompassed working on many areas of the body, ensuring that it was aligned in the correct way. Coupled with the weekly sessions, Vanessa recommended specific muscle group exercises to do at home to strengthen my body and improve my posture. She even came to view my working environment to ensure my posture was correct, as I sat most of the day at work.

Now my sessions have ended, I have no pain in my neck or back, have started some regular exercise and am returning to pastimes I never thought I would be able to do again. I feel great.

I would thoroughly recommend Cathedral Osteopaths for their dedication, frankness and ability to give you back quality, pain free living.

Phil Gregg

I suffered with a chronic low back condition since I prolapsed a disc in 2010 and struggled to participate in my chosen sport of triathlon, in particular I had to stop running completely.

Since receiving osteopathic treatment from Vanessa over the past 4 months I am pleased to say I am now free of pain and back running twice a week.

I strongly recommend Vanessa to anyone committed to resolving their low back pain.
