Trouble 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.

I 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

This 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!

I suffered from really bad tension headaches for 6 months. I visited James he worked his magic, I haven't had a tension headache since. Every six months I'll go back for a realignment. It's well worth seeing James

Ive 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

I 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.

When 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.

James 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!

I am only a few weeks into my treatment, following recommendation from my health professional and seeing a promotion on facebook i booked my consultation, Jess was very welcoming on arrival. James went through everything in great detail during the first meeting and even more detail during the results appointment, James ensured i understood everything and ensured all the different payment packages were explained.

Being able to Book appointments around my work schedule is really helpful. James is currently helping me with migraines and severe hip pains, we know we have a long way to go but already seeing small improvements

I 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.

I 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.

Neck pain and headaches for years and after just a few treatments I was able to move my neck more than I had in years. The pain now is gone and I've got my life back.
