read moreJust want to say a massive thanks to James, hurt my back training last night and got me in straight away to start the recovery process... Have been seeing James for a while now and it's a pleasure every single session! Thanks again!

read moreI had back and neck pain constantly for ten years plus. Since visiting I've noticed significant improvements. Great service.

read moreI visited James as I was suffering a lot from tennis and golfer's elbow. He was brilliant. He explained exactly what was going on, gave me a prognosis and put me onto a suitable plan. He worked into the afflicted area as well as doing some neck manipulation and a bit of acupuncture. He also gave me exercises to do and explained the reasoning behind it all. I got both relief and steady improvement and can now look forward to a pain free future. Thank you James.

read moreSo happy I came across Taunton Health recently, James is really knowledgeable and passionate about helping people. I'm confident that he will be able to help me with my neck and lower back alignments, and also with other aspects of my health and overall wellbeing.

read moreI went to see James with headaches that if had for years. The pain started to travel down my arm and this started to worry me.
I was pleased to see how professional the clinic was and was immediately put at ease.
After working out what was causing my problem James informed me that he could help and how long it would take to get me better.
I am so pleased I decided to do something about my problems and now can live a pain free life.

read moreJames is an excellent osteopath. He really takes the time to explain the causes of pain and my back pain has pretty much gone now. The treatments have really helped my posture and stopped my headaches. I cant remember the last time my back felt so consistently good. There are payment plans available that make the treatments extremely competitively priced compared to other osteopaths. Jess the receptionist is very helpful and makes you feel really welcome. Brilliant all round service!

read moreWhen I first visited James at Taunton Health, I had been suffering with intermittent bursts of intense lower back pain (the result of a pretty stupid weight room injury) for over 5 years.

James explained why I had been having the issues that I was having in recovery, and was very quickly able to identify the key stress points in my spine. He also added to my knowledge of the Central Nervous System and the effect it has on our wellbeing, strength and energy output, which was awesome!

What started out in my head as a "quick fix" for a long-standing lower back pain issue has now become an integral part of the way I look after my body and my health. I can't thank James enough for the work he has done with me so far and would definitely recommend his service.

read moreI would highly recommend Taunton Health. Although apprehensive initially in trying treatment by an Osteopath I should not have worried. Treatment has been pain free and very effective, I have been very happy with my progress.
James and Jess are friendly and professional and James is very knowledgable and reassuring. He agreed a treatment plan with me and evaluation is ongoing. Do not hesitate to book an assessment with Taunton Health.

read moreIve had over 2 years of back pain, lots of back and forth to the doctors, a couple of spinal injections and being told I will be on pain killers for the rest of my life and nothing more could be done. At 40 and previously being extremely active this really brought me down! Until my husband brought me here, omg after only 4 sessions I can feel Im getting better and the pain is lowering!!! I would definitely recommend James to anyone, friends and family!!! He has given me my life back. Thank you

read moreOnly been twice but felt a huge difference. James is brilliant and is very professional and great at what he does. I will keep returning weekly to get my back sorted. Thank you taunton health
Forget the receptionists are ever so welcoming and were even happy for me to bring along my son.

read moreThis is going to read a bit like its been made up But you can rest assured its 150% truthful! I have suffered with upper and lower back pain and pains and loss of feeling in my legs caused from many industrial and work related accidents and motorbike racing crashes over a 49 year period including damaged vertebrae and have had now several years of being fed pain killers, and told the problem was permanent, and was probably, (but they were not sure) spinal stenosis and trapped nerves that run under my pelvis. I was being told by the "specialists" I would have to just live with either the pain or the effects of medication as there was no possible surgery for the latter. It was difficult to walk very far as my right leg was numb down to my knee and my left was just in constant pain without the meds. It was also affecting my work! I had steroid injections in my spine and that helped the back pain a little but not for long.I was very skeptical when I went to James. It was a bit of a last chance for me really and I just saw the shopfront from my barbers across the street, read the signs and booked an appointment. I had nothing to lose! Man what a difference 4 weeks has made. Im 20 times more mobile I can walk upright and have even jogged a few times for a short distance. My medication is about 10% of what I was on 4 weeks ago, and Im decreasing it (with my doctors agreement) a little every few days. Hopefully in a week or two I will be meds free. I just want to say thank you James. My quality of life has increased vastly, And as Im able to move again Im also losing weight which was piling on due to the medication. I would absolutely recommend anyone with problems to go and have a consultation and give it a try I am so glad I did! Im 64 Its never too late!

read moreI would highly recommend Taunton Health, James is amazing at getting you sorted! James really knows what he is doing and after my very first treatment I could tell a huge difference, I've suffered with my back for 11 years and over that time it's just got worse, I wasn't sure how any one could help me feel better, but my first and second treatment has made such a difference to me and my day to day activities. I can't wait for my next treatment thank you so much James

read moreTrouble turning my head to the right while driving. Called to see if James could see me , went in and a little later was on my way. By the time I got home, the stiffness had eased and I was driving safely!
This morning my neck is fine.
Thanks, James.

read moreA friend referred me to see James as I had been suffering with back pain for years.
After a clear explanation of what was needed to be done I started treatment and am feeling 100% better.
Not only was I impressed with how professional the whole team are but the treatments really felt like they were fixing the problem every time I went there.
Highly recommended!

read moreI have worked with James over the past few weeks and I would like to say what a pleasure he is to work with. Always very helpful with any questions that I had and took the time to get to know what I wanted to achieve from our work together. I am highly satisfied with both the service I received and the results that were achieved! Thank you James!

When looking at heart disease and the potential cause many people immediately think diet is the only contributing factor. However there are more contributing factors causing heart disease than simply eating badly. To understand how the health of the spine can be a major cause of heart disease we need a tiny bit of background understanding. Fat Loss isn't about tricks and tips, it's about consistency and dedication.

What is the most important organ in the body? The heart? The lungs? True you can't live without either of these organs, however the brain controls both of these organs. When we talk about the nervous system we talk about the brain, the spinal cord and all the nerves that branch off it and go everywhere in the body. The nervous system controls every cell, tissue and organ.
