What our clients have to say about us...
"Toby has supported me with sports massage whilst competing in para triathlon and on the road to the Paralympics. With a prosthetic leg and clubfoot sport massage is crucial to keep my body working injury free and toby’s massages do exactly that, meaning I can keep training hard. Toby is very thorough and really knows his stuff, and always addresses the problem areas and his magic hands keep my body working well! Thank you!"

"When you book a sport massage you kind of expect it to be a bit painful. However, I never experienced anything comparable to a session with Toby “Iron Hands” Kearns. To be 100% honest, though, this is the way to go. Toby is an amazing masseur with a vast knowledge of the human body and muscles. If you see him regularly for a deep-tissue session rest assured you’ll always be on top of your niggles."

"I am often suffering from acute muscle spasm originating from the poor state of my back. Prior to knowing Adrian I have been to several osteopaths and chiropractors but none of them were able to help me. Adrian has a magic touch - he can feel exactly where the issue originates and works hard though our 30 minutes sessions- and after typically 2 sessions I am back to normal. I have referred several friends and family members and all have the same experience. The only downside is that he supports Leeds United. Thanks Adrian!"

"Adrian Dilworth is a brilliant osteopath. He has managed to keep me running for over twenty years, successfully treating everything from painful achilles and sore calves to arthritic knees and a stiff back. He is very thorough in his initial diagnosis of any problem before starting treatment which he carries out with great skill. He also then the makes helpful suggestions for exercises to help recovery after treatment and to avoid further injury. Adrian is a true professional who also has great sense of humour."

"I attended Diane’s restorative yoga as the class was recommended to me. It was my first experience of restorative yoga where Diane helps you to put yourself into different body postures with full body support. It took me a while to relax and quieten my mind, but once I did it felt like a warm, safe and supportive place to be. That night I slept so well and felt amazing the following morning. Diane is highly skilled at teaching you to take some time to slow down in this truly special experience for your brain and nervous system. I aim to do this class every month to stay connected to this beautiful practice."

"I first started seeing Adrian a number of years ago for problems with my neck and I now visit him a couple of times a year to keep any problems at bay. He has always been efficient, friendly and professional, and certainly knows what he is doing. He’s qualified to use a range of treatments, which means that his sessions are very effective and thorough and you always leave feeling much better than you arrive. He’s also very communicative on what he thinks the problem is and what you can do to try and help it. I’d highly recommend Adrian and the Putney Clinic to anyone needing an osteopath."

"I have been an elite triathlete for 7 years competing on the Great Britain team. I see Toby every week, he is brilliant. He can read your body and tell you where the problem is coming from. Everything I need to maintain health and stay injury free. I highly recommend Toby, I know that if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have been able to keep up the training and stay injury free."

"I attend one of Emily’s general mat Pilates classes. I came late (62 years) to Pilates and I cannot thank her enough for her patient teaching and communication skills. I leave her classes feeling fluid and energised and never with soreness or stiffness. I now have had a one-to-one Reformer session, which, although tough, was a really enjoyable experience. It was as though my whole body had been massaged from the tips of my toes and fingers to the top of my head. It stretched and isolated muscles in every part of my body, again under the clear precise and friendly instruction from Emily."
Frances Adler

"When I met Cherie I felt like I’d finally found the teacher for me. In only one session a week I quickly saw a change in both my energy levels and muscle tone. Cherie’s classes are dynamic and leave you feeling like you’ve had a good work out. I can’t recommend her enough and owe the return of my waist to her!"

"Clive’s appreciation of the muscles used in different sports and their impact on the rest of the body is excellent. Working with him helps to fine-tune training to keep the body moving forward."

"I went to see Simon Cheung in 2001 out of desperation having suffered from chronic cluster headaches for over 10 years. All regular medical treatments had failed. I was a ‘walking medicine cabinet’ but to no effect. He assured me he could help but that it would take sometime. I had my acupuncture treatments with him every week for almost a year and sure enough, I was cured. My outlook on life changed! I still get the occasional cluster headache but it lasts for a few weeks rather than continuous. Thank you again, Simon."

"I first saw Adrian in February 2019. I had a lot of pain in my shoulder and lower back which had become chronic over the last 3 years. At times, I could not move at all. Adrian helped me to recover my health and to become pain free. He is an amazing osteopath who knows exactly what is needed to help people become alive again! I am so grateful for his help in regaining my health."
Saida

"Diane’s restorative yoga classes have opened my eyes to a world of deep and mindful relaxation. They provide a time and space for emotional release giving me the mental fuel and balance to care for myself and my four young children. Diane’s intuitive and honest teaching style (always with a touch of humour) offers the best possible opportunity to get the most out of each session for my needs. I’ve been amazed at how powerful the poses are without causing any stress on my body and the quality of sleep following a class is like pure liquid gold!"

"It is hard to find enough words to say how highly I value Simon and the expert attention he has given me. He is a brilliant acupuncturist and a charming and kind individual. Simon has helped me through pneumonia, shingles and the loss of my husband."
Lynne Sinclair

"I have found my confidence and skills have grown under Emily’s expert teaching and guidance. Emily is very articulate and patient at explaining each of the moves, ensuring that I have understood the background to each exercise. This benefits me enormously as under her tuition, I am doing each of the moves more accurately and consequently, really feel the benefits of the workout at end of each of our sessions."
Ronnie Whelan

"A fabulous hypnotherapy session. We concentrated on relaxation and visualisation techniques to help me through hospital treatments I have had. It was very useful and I’ve been putting the techniques into practice. Thank you!"

"I have had continuous back pain throughout my life and have seen several chiropractors and osteopaths over the years. Fran has been the first professional to not only relive the pain in the short term, but also find out the root cause of the recurring pain. She has suggested several practical movements to strengthen and stretch the right parts of my body for a pain-free back in the long term.
Each session, Fran takes the time to listen to each niggle (however insignificant you may think they are), and systematically works through the theories she believes could determine the causal factor. She is an extremely knowledgeable osteopath and adapts her sessions to look at what you would like to work on that day, taking into consideration the sports you do and other lifestyle factors.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Fran. She's always positive and has made me feel comfortable in her office. I would highly recommend Fran as your osteopath at the Putney Clinic."
Dominique Nielsen

"Due to tension headaches every day and chronic pain in my neck, I had tried everything with no lasting effects. From my first session with Jamie, I sat up after treatment and for the first time in over a year, felt relief and with no headache. It has been life changing. I'm back doing yoga and my mental health has improved massively.
Jamie has helped me gain back control of my health and educated me more on how to prevent. I've learned so much about why I do things that I can now re-programme."
Rachel Kerr
---------
"I started to see Fran as an Osteopath where she made a huge difference to my back, stiff neck, sore calf and other general sports related soreness. Her kind nature and attention to detail meant that she listened to what I had to say about areas that are sore and therefore always treated areas that had a positive difference on my body.
When she suggested I get a scan on a troublesome sore knee, it was excellent advice as it seemed surgery was required. She then took charge of my rehabilitation, where her combined expertise as both an osteopath and physiotherapist meant I got the treatment I needed whilst progressing in exercises to improve my strength.
In just 14 weeks, Fran got me to a point where my knee was strong and stable enough to ski. She knew when to push me a bit harder to get results and when I needed to keep going with the same exercises for a bit longer. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
