Your Pain in Good Hands

I have been seeing Charles since he started in Barry in 2007 as I suffer from neck arthritis (cervical spondylosis), which causes much stiffness and pain. I was not prepared to go along the route of daily painkillers and find a regular mix of Osteopathy and Acupuncture from Charles allows me to get on with my life with the minimum of fuss.

Back is doing great today. Thanks again Charles. Best £30 I have ever spent!

Charles, just wanted to say a belated thank you for your treatment of my back and your introduction to Indah and her Pilates class. I went riding last week for the first time since and my back was fine – legs were iffy but aching in a good way! Thank you again and as long as I keep active, I am confident my back will remain strong – hope these are not famous last words!

It’s been 7 months since I fell off my bike. I went to A&E and my GP, they took x-rays and said everything seemed normal, that I would just have some pain for a few days. A few days actually turned into several weeks, so at the suggestion of a friend, I went to see Charles. He examined the arm & neck and treated the area, after a few treatments I began to feel better and became to feel more confident than before. I never would’ve thought to see an Osteopath to help with my pain, but I’m sure glad now that I did.

I’ve had several unhappy experiences with osteopaths and chiropractors before settling on Charles, but because he explains what he is doing and his manner is very calming, even when I have a silly or very painful injury, I always feel safe being treated by him. I trust his treatments and his advice and he is always happy to liaise with my G.P. to make sure that I’m receiving the appropriate treatment for any or all of my issues. It’s tricky to find a reliable, local osteopath, who fees are reasonable (and who has Saturday appointments), so I’m happy to recommend Charles for head to toe treatment.

As a builder, using my hands to type on a daily basis is a requirement. The work is physical and in all weathers. Several months ago, every movement I made became excruciatingly painful. I started seeing Charles and his magic hands seemed to do the trick. He stressed the importance of my posture and correct use when lifting. At the appointments, he would manipulate and massage my neck, back, shoulders and arms. Within weeks, my pain subsided and I don’t feel the same tension when working. Thanks, Charles!

I completed my Half Iron-man Triathlon event with NO issues with my legs…..sorry that’s not quite correct. They bloody well ache and have done so for the past few days but that was to be expected as I do not run between events. But I am not complaining. Much to my surprise I came 3rd in my age group and ended up with a Bronze medal in the National Championships. So your expertise had a positive effect. Great meeting you and sorry you are not closer to me but with your positive attitude you will never be short of work.

I went to see Charles on a recommendation from a neighbour because my knee pain was getting worse and affecting my Nordic walking. On questioning Charles suggested my problem really stemmed from a previous ankle injury that had never fully recovered. After 4 sessions, I could not believe the difference, and I’m now being back on the poles!. Thanks Charles

Afternoon Charles – just some feedback, even though my leg is sore and tender I’m walking a lot better. I’m sure over the next few days it will be back to normal. Also slept a lot better, so I’d like to thank you, you seem to have sorted it.

I have benefited tremendously from the care Charles gave me. Not only has the adjustments helped alleviate my stiffness and aches, but it has helped me have more energy and just feel more balanced over all. A few months ago, I was able to resume golf. Due to my previous pain, I never thought that’d be possible. Thanks again Mr Millward for helping me get my swing back. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
