As well as generating pain, the hypertonic muscles increase tension in the joints that they are attached to hence increasing the chance of joint damage such as osteoarthritis. Various deep tissue techniques are used to combat this problem and also to reset the neurological input of chronically hypertonic tissues.

read moreThese techniques are aimed at increasing the mobility of restricted joints. Blood flow to a restricted joint is usually inefficient due to the lack of action in that joint. It is sometimes very difficult for the patient to self-mobilise these joints due to severe pain and discomfort. By nature, some articulation is not self-administrated such as rib articulation for asthma and shortness of breath.

read moreI am an old lady with a lot of health problems. At the time I had back pain, hip pain and shoulder pain. I also had a lot of shortness of breath. Zohreh treated all my aches and pains and listened to all my problems. That was when I was diagnosed with a terminal disease and was told I had only a very short time left. Zohreh comforted me when my family was panicking. I go to see Zohreh every week and when I am very sick or feeling very weak she comes to see me at my place. She always explains to me the cause of my discomfort and explains to me what she wants to do and she tells me if I am going to have some discomfort for a shortwhile after the treatment.

She works on my muscles and joints and makes me walk around more easily and she works on my lungs and makes me breathe much better when doctors told me a few years ago that my lungs are going to stop working soon. She also acupunctures me and talks to me and listens to me and I feel I can face the world when I go out of her room. I am not scared of what is to come, perhaps very soon, as I always remember the calming conversations I have had with Zohreh about life and death during the last three years. I highly recommend Zohreh to anyone who suffers with any physical pain and emotional pain. She does your body good and your soul good. That is what she has done for me when I was meant to have gone years ago.

read moreDuring debilitating chemo-therapy treatment for cancer, Zohreh's expertise with acupuncture, osteopathy and gentle massage helped me cope with the unpleasant side-effects, notably with nausea, fatigue, insomnia, constipation, loss of appetite, dry mouth, mouth ulcers and sweats especially during night time.
Along with her helpful advice, I find her treatments invaluable.

read moreI would like to thank Zohreh for the kind help in reducing my problems associated with metabolic syndrome. Her devotion to helping me has resulted in me being able to walk over half a mile since not being able to walk even 4 paces in March 2010, when I started the treatment.

As a type 2 diabetic and also having major heart problems I was suffering from leg and calf pain which the consultants offered pain killers for. The side effects from these tablets could have been responsible for the weight gain of many pounds, as I was already over weight, I looked round for an alternative and I was lucky to find Zohreh, who started me on a course of osteopathic treatment and acupuncture. The pain started to ease just within 2 weeks and now I have been discharged from hospital and off the consultants lists.

One has to admit that at first I was not fully convinced as my understanding was lacking, but the reward of walking and freedom of pain has made my life so much more liveable and enjoyable.

read moreI have been receiving treatment from Zohreh Mandegaran for approximately two years and would highly recommend her as an osteopath/acupuncturist. I have suffered a chronic back condition for a number of years which has been greatly eased following replacement knee surgery.

I receive regular treatment in order to maintain good mobility as I am a senior citizen and realise how important it is to keep mobile. In the past I have been treated by osteopaths and chiropractors but find the combination of therapies I receive from Dr Mandegaran to be an ideal solution for me. Dr Mandegarans approach is very friendly yet highly professional and I have no hesitation in recommending her to people of all ages who are in need of help in her specialised fields.

read moreI have had quite a number of visits to osteopaths and chiropractors over the years. The visits were in connection with hip, knee and sports injuries consequential to football, cycling, tennis and golfing activities. Currently, I am in my eighth decade and walk on average three rounds of golf each week and with gardening am quite physically active.

Some three months ago, I was introduced to Zohreh. Zohreh is an osteopath with a marked difference. Her approach to the treatment of muscular and joint problems is completely different to my previous experiences. The results from her administrations of my particular problems have been outstanding. The muscle stretching, joint flexibility and relief from discomfort have been excellent.

I am pleased to recommend her as an exceptional practitioner of her profession.

read moreZohreh has practiced both Osteopathy and Acupuncture on me. I had lost left trapezius muscle, some speech and swallow capacity due to Radiotherapy treatment for Throat Cancer. Zohreh has given me back a good range of movement and has softened the fibrosis in my neck considerably. Zohreh is also a gold mine of information about health in general and gave me tips and exercises to use daily to improve my mobility overall.
I highly recommend Zohreh and her practice.

read moreI have been seeing Zohreh for just over 3 months with bad arthritis in both of my knees. There has been a great improvement since I first saw her in both of them. I recently hurt my back whilst playing golf, and Zohreh was kind enough to fit me in the next day. There was an immediate improvement and having seen her just twice she seems to have fixed the problem. She is an excellent osteopath and also uses her acupuncturist knowledge along side. She is also a lovely person and I can strongly recommend her.

read moreI suffer with pain that I get as a result of my MS and I had osteopathy and acupuncture with Zohreh to try and help my symptoms. Both of these treatments have helped me SO much! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has suggested other home remedies to help me too. I cannot recommend enough!

read moreI came to Zohreh a few years back with a lower back issue that Id been suffering with for a long time. Over the course of a few treatments Zohreh had completely solved my issue.
I continue to see her for maintenance and if anything else crops up, and I always walk away feeling lighter, less tight and refreshed.
Over the years I have personally recommended friends, family, clients and fellow yogis to Zohreh and I will continue to do so as I firmly believe shes one of the best therapists out there.
Shes so kind and friendly, and always makes you feel at ease.
