"I had been struggling with my abdominal exercises for a while and my personal trainer suggested seeing an osteopath which I hadn’t thought of as I didn’t really have problems at any other time. I went ahead anyway and Mr Patel was recommended to me. The added advantage is that Mr Patel's clinic is at the David Lloyd's gym that I use. I was amazed at how much better I felt after just one treatment. Avin has really helped me (not only with my back but with other aches and pains) and I now see him regularly. I can’t recommend him highly enough!"

" I went to see Avin one Saturday, when I had been experiencing a lot of pain in my lower back. I had received a treatment from a different practitioner on the Tuesday which had made me feel much worse and I remembered seeing Avin eight months before, I knew I could trust his treatment. After having experienced much pain before the treatment, directly afterwards I had friends arriving from abroad, and was keen to do some sightseeing with them. I am very grateful that I was able to enjoy my time with them for the three days, shopping, even dancing when before getting out of bed and getting dressed had been extremely painful. I thank Avin sincerely for helping me achieve these things, and commend him as a teacher of osteopathy too, as I would trust students under his direction."

"I have had back problems for some 8 years. During that time, I have being going to a Chiropractor with a degree of success. Whilst on holiday in Spain during August 2008, I suffered severe back pain and had to visit a medical centre – they subsequently gave me a series of injections, which at great cost, had no effect.
On my return to the UK airport, I had to be given a wheel chair to get me to the car for the journey home! I have never experienced pain like it and was prepared to consider drastic action, such as surgery to get my problem resolved.
It was then that I contacted Avin and after just 2 consultations I was feeling a whole lot better, and after my third consultation, thanks to Avin, the back pain had gone and I was feeling normal once more – as far as I am concerned it was the best investment I have ever made!
I would recommend MSK Consultancy to anyone who suffers from this type of problem and will certainly have no hesitation in going to see them again if the problem re-occurs in the future.
Thanks Avin"

"For around sixty years I have carried on my life, giving little attention to what I was expecting of my body. Particularly in the last twelve years when I turned my home into a wildlife rescue centre and for seven days a week lugged heavy buckets and sacks etc up and down steps, this along with grappling with the odd swan or deer and the like. Finally this year my hips and back said ‘enough’ and caused me some considerable pain. Eventually I gave in and breaking with tradition went to my GP who straightaway referred me to MSK Consultancy (Osteopathy Clinic).
I was given an appointment with Avin Patel and duly turned up, not really hoping for too much. Avin spent some time talking to me before an initial examination which showed me to have arthritis in the hips and lower spine. By now I had a mental picture of a surgeon wielding a hammer and chisel, but Avin suggested trying his treatment. After three weekly treatments of Acupuncture and Osteopathy, the improvement was considerable. By the fourth there was a minor setback due to me having spent too long gardening, for which I received a verbal warning and some good advice. Now, after the fifth and final treatment, I am almost totally free of pain, and will follow Avin’s good advice to have more consideration for the ageing joints in my body."

"I suffered constant sciatic pain down my left leg for months and months as a result of a weakened and misaligned hip and back. I am very keen to stay physically fit and have run two marathons and three ultra-distance events in the last 12 months. I was running 5 - 6 days a week to keep fit and prepare for these events.
Unfortunately the more exercise I did the worse the sciatic pain got. I was treated by a chiropractor and then a physiotherapist but neither really solved the problem.
I then sought treatment from Avin at MSK Consultancy. Through a number of treatments of acupuncture and back manipulation along with a changed exercise regime which included specific exercises to stretch my back, the sciatic pain has now pretty much disappeared. I am now only running once a week but am mixing this with rowing and cycling and still maintaining my fitness, without the pain. I would definitely recommend Avin to anyone suffering similar pain."

“Avin has been helping me over the years whenever I have a bad back and with my running. His treatments give me plenty of mobility, more flexibility, no tightness of the muscles and most importantly it is long last relief.
I most definitely recommend his treatment to other people who do sports.”
Jessica Long, Marathon Runner
"I was experiencing severe headaches, slightly blurred vision and a sore neck. My GP and specialist insisted it was migraine, but I didn't think so and I didn't like taking the prescription drugs. My condition made it hard to read or work at a computer, which is what I had to do for my job. The care I received from Avin was very professional and reassuring. All aspects of my treatment were explained to me. 6 treatments later I am pain free and writing this testimonial for MSK Consultancy.
Most importantly, my headaches don't ruin my everyday activity and I can enjoy life again !"
