I recommend Julian highly. Very professional and also friendly too. Everything explained clearly and simply. No pressure for treatment or future appointments.
My shoulder improved significantly thanks to Julian's care and treatment.
Will be top of my list next time I need an osteopath.

Richard

Very highly recommended. I can't recommend Julian enough, he's sorted my shoulder out after suffering several years of pain.  Julian's a very friendly and caring professional who gets to the root of the problem with no pressure on how many treatments he feels you should have. Thank you!

Fixed me where others could not Julian instantly diagnosed my knee pain to be emanating from my back and with a tight deadline to my next race he had me fixed and running again without pain. Something no one else had managed in years! 100% recommended

Andrew

A lovely experience Julian is friendly and caring and very keen to get to the bottom of your problem - even if not in his field. He will not make you sign up for unnecessary sessions and will advise you on how many visits he thinks you will need. My back is feeling much better and I will miss my weekly appointments.

Life changing!!! After years of suffering from back pain and doctors telling me there was nothing wrong I sought out a different approach when a car crash aggravated everything. Julian was and is still amazing its only been a few weeks and the differences are massively difference. I haven't taken pain killers for weeks! I would highly recommend Julian and the practice.

Excellent, Professional & Friendly. I didn’t know Julian before but I live in the Horley and wanted to find a local Osteopath. Julian is a very professional, caring, knowledgeable person, who’s keen to get to the problem and treat accordingly. He creates a very comfortable environment and always explain what he is doing and why. He has helped me a lot with the back and headache issues I had. Very pleased
