High Peak Osteopathic

Fantastic experience: After almost 3 years of agony following ankle surgery and getting ever more frustrated with the NHS, I turned to John at High Peak Osteo, hoping he might be able to offer a different approach to my problem. He rapidly gained an understanding of the problem and over a period of 4 months or so, he methodically improved every aspect of my foot and ankle. After each session I could feel a little improvement and now he has me on the road to reclaiming a normal life again - fantastic! Thank you John you have transformed my life and exceeded all my expectations.

Fantastic experience: What can I say, this week I have had the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I was fairly certain that I had seriously damaged my back and was struggling to walk. As a last resort, I took pain killers and inti-inflammatories, nothing helped. Then I went to see John and he performed his magic on me. Here I am three days later back in the gym, walking with ease, pain reduced by 80% and no longer feeling like my life is over! Thanks John you are a star! Fingers crossed I can still compete in 2 weeks time….

Fantastic experience: Excellent as always! Would highly recommend John. Friendly, knowledgeable and fantastic at his job. A must see if you have any issues.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend High Peak Osteo. I had a sudden issue with my back last Wednesday and managed to get a same day appointment. John is so lovely and approachable and without going the same day my mind would have made the situation so much worse. As well as using gentle movements to ease me to the point I could walk out of his surgery without needing a golf brolly to help, John also linked what had happened to stress am told me to think of it in the same terms as a headache. This was hugely reassuring. He was completely right. By the end of the next day the spasms has stopped and two days later I was moving almost normally with just a weak bruised feeling on the site I injured. I don't hesitate to recommend - great expertise and experience coupled with brilliant people skills and empathy

Fantastic experience: John is very welcoming and easy to talk to. His treatment of my tight upper back and tension headaches was very gentle but definitely effective. And the tips and movements he explained to me are an added bonus. If i need help again with this or any other problem i will be back.

Fantastic experience: Had been in agony for days. After just one session the pain had reduced massively. Following his exercises I feel much better.

Fantastic experience: After months of pain in my neck, shoulders and back. I was recommended by an acquaintance to go to the High Peak Osteopathic Practice. After two sessions I already feel better, John is so good, his advice on exercise and his hands on massage are excellent. I am at last sleeping at night with no painkillers. Id recommend anyone in pain to go and have a consultation. Had my last session with John and I feel amazing, been gardening and Spring cleaning cleaning, with no afterpains apart from the age thing, (even he cant de-age me, brilliant as he is). Id recommend to anyone suffering with pain.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic advice and very quickly diagnosed the problem! Left ten times better than when I arrived! Thank you

Fantastic experience: John was thorough, reassuring, and loosened my tight hips and lower back. The next day I ran my session too fast as my legs felt that much better. Hopefully I won't need to come back but if I have any future issues I won't hesitate. Would recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting High Peak Osteopathic for a number of years. John takes time to listen to the symptoms/issues. I always feel confident in the assessment and subsequent treatment which he provides. He takes a holistic approach rather than just concentrating on your painful back/neck etc.

Fantastic experience: John is very knowledgeable and gave me some excellent advice. Thanks very much

Fantastic experience: 5 months of pain and leaving feeling so much better! More reassured and a clear plan knowing I haven't done major damage to my back. Thanks so much John!

Fantastic experience: John was lovely and very knowledgable. Really listened to what my issue was and made my neck feel better within that first session.

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed by my visit to John this week. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my neck and gave both hands on treatment and exercises for me to do at home. He reassured me that it would improve quickly with this approach and it's already improved significantly in just a few days. Thank you John!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend john and his team made to feel very welcome. It was my first appointment so didnt know what to expect john was very helpful and clear with a few things and came out with a plan to help myself and just relieved.

Fantastic experience: Great professional service received! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Sooooo impressed with John. Here I am getting ready for my night shift. I am a nurse and thanks to my back going big time 2 days ago, I was wondering how I was going to get through tonight. I knew I could not let the palliative/end of life service down last minute on New Years eve. John very kindly gave me an emergency appointment today. Wow! This guy is so knowledgeable and gets to the root of the problem. I was amazed upon leaving his establishment with my back so much better and bearable. John gave me concise clear instructions to do gentle exercises for continued recovery. Cannot recommend highly enough. A*****

Fantastic experience: Very impressive, professional knowledgeable experience resulting in a positive outcome. Will definitely return in the future.

Fantastic experience: John at High Peak Osteopathic is fantastic. Super knowledgeable and he really helped with my neck and back pain. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. John was extremely knowledgeable and gave clear advice from both an osteopathic and coach perspective. He genuinely wanted to help and did not push for extra appointments. My back feels a lot better already. Really friendly and trustworthy. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: John was very welcoming , extremely knowledgable & gave me lots of advise regarding my issue ..I Would definitely recommend a visit if having problems & will certainly return if & when needed

Fantastic experience: For the first time in weeks, I have not rushed to the cupboard to grab the strongest pain killers I can find as soon as I wake up. I have not yelped at every step. All from one visit to John. He is thorough, approachable and down-to-earth. An extra bonus is that you can feel sure that extra unnecessary visits will not be suggested by him. Would recommend 100% every time.

Fantastic experience: I injured my back in March this year and it was really limiting my ability to be able to do my job as a PT. I was in a lot of pain and it was having a massive impact on my life both physically and mentally. After 2 visits to John the pain went away and I was able to get back to living a normal life and recommence my own training, even taking part in a fitness race by June. I was really impressed with John's knowledge and professionalism. Not only did he understand what was going on with my body, he also understood the impact on my mental health. He was really understanding and he made me feel reassured at a time when I was feeling vulnerable and stressed about my injury. I've since recommended him to various clients who have also had similar good experiences. Thank you John!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been involved in sport at a fairly serious level for a long time, so I really appreciate seeing someone who understands the body and what it takes to stay active and performing well. John is knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. He explained everything clearly and gave solid, practical advice. I’d definitely recommend him—especially to anyone who’s active or into sport.

Fantastic experience: John was very knowledgeable and professional and i would definitely recommend. I would like to say I'd return but after one session the pain has improved dramatically so may not need too. If I have any issues in the future though I now know where to go!

Fantastic experience: I went to see John in February with constant tension headaches I’d been suffering with for years.He was brilliant at explaining what causes my symptoms. After examining my neck he was then able to give me exercises to help and other advice on managing and treating my headaches.Since then they have been considerably less and certainly less severe if I do get one. I am absolutely amazed at the difference already!

Fantastic experience: Sorted my bad shoulder injury out with out being painful

Fantastic experience: John is a very skilled professional, he has helped my back pain so much so I felt immediate relief when leaving his practice! I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: John was fab at sorting both my neck and my ankle. Super patient, understanding and thorough. He listens well to the issue and works respectfully with you to ease the problem/discomfort. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Went to see John at high peak osteopathic after damaging my foot running, within 10 mins he had found the root of the problem and before the session was over had given me all the information about what I needed to do to help it heal. Following his instructions I was back to being pain free within a matter of days. Can’t recommend highly enough adding to the above I hurt my back, went and saw John, again it was sorted in 1 session. Just fixes you and that’s that.

Fantastic experience: Coming to see John changed my life. I have been suffering with lower back pain for over a year and I came to see him to see if he could help. He was brilliant and asked lots of health questions so he fully understood my history. After seeing me he asked if my back pain was related to my cycle which no one had ever suggested to me nor had I put two and two together. He recommended monitoring it and see if it did and try and get referred to see a specialist, which in doing this has proven the back pain I have is actually endometriosis. I would have carried on in brutal pain thinking it was just something I had to live with. I can not thank you enough for sharing your wisdom and experience in order to help me. Honestly can not recommend seeing John. My husband has also been to see him for his back which he has found beyond helpful. John is really friendly, professional and has so much experience to help people.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend John, he is really good He is very professional but also very personable and quickly puts you at ease. He was brilliant with my Autistic daughter, he explained everything really well and quickly reassured her that all was well.

Fantastic experience: Very thorough professional really helped pain now resolved definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: John had a reassuring and relaxed manner which put me at ease during the treatment. Fantastic osteopath and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: John is great. I would highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Great service, recommended exercises for my problem, they work a treat.

Fantastic experience: I've seen John a couple of times about my back now and recommend him to everyone. He's kind, knows his stuff and has an excellent sense of humour! He uses sound logic and evidence based practice and, unlike other practitioners I've seen, will happily explain the problem in detail (with his handy array of anatomical models) rather than fixing the pain without an explanation of the problem behind it. He's a huge advocate of functional strengthening rather than wrapping us up in cotton wool post treatment and I've had excellent results, each time just needing a one off treatment. I saw him both before and during pregnancy and felt in very safe hands on both occasions - I would only see someone I have complete confidence in during pregnancy! The two trees planted per treatment is the cherry on top of an already excellent service. Thanks John! Hope I don't need to see you soon, but it's always a pleasure when I do!!

Positive experience: John is very pleasant & easy to talk to. Lovely environment. Explained everything at a level of my understanding. Has excellent knowledge

Fantastic experience: I came to High Peak Osteopathic to get rid of my sciatica that was effectively ruining my life in an unexpected way at my early age. One of my CrossFit buddies told me about John and how good he was, so I gave him a try as a last resort and out of desperation. I was amazedly surprised with John knowledge, and how quickly he figured out what my real problem was and how to help me. 2 sessions in and I have no words to describe how this man changed my life. I still have a way to go, but I can now live a normal life with less pain, and I can see the light at the end of tunnel for me. If like me you’ve tried everything, go to John

Fantastic experience: Very thankful and grateful for John’s help with my lower back issue recently. I managed to get seen quickly, he asked a few questions and checked me over, diagnosed the issue, explained everything so I understood, worked on it and gave me a rehab plan. I felt a noticeable difference almost immediately and my back has eased up a lot since. John is really knowledgeable and friendly, I’ve already recommend him to my clients and will 100% use him again should I ever need to. Thanks very much John

Fantastic experience: I went to visit John with lower back pain. The treatment room environment has a real calm feeling to it. John is both professional,friendly and extremely knowledgeable. A detailed assessment was taken and explanation of probable cause and treatment options given. The treatment was relaxing and I definitely felt relief in my back straight away. I followed John's advice to do regular light stretches and my back feels so much better. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: Wouldn't go anywhere else as well satisfied.

Fantastic experience: John helped me almost immediately after a bike accident through remote video consultation. He expertly identified the injury and gave me exercises to aid recovery with clear instructions. John checked in over the following months and even sent over more exercises as my recovery progressed. John is super knowledgeable and has a holistic approach I love. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: John held online consultations with me, after I became immobile due to a spinal injury. He was able to give me directed instructions by showing me what I needed to do, and then checked I was undertaking them correctly by watching me. We started gently with basic techniques and then increased this. John’s immediate assistance via video call was invaluable to my successful recovery, for which I am very grateful. I can highly recommend John, his knowledge is astounding and his ability and patience knows no bounds.

Fantastic experience: I’ve struggled with pain in my shoulder for months. I had 1 visit, was given a few very simple stretches at home and an explanation of what was causing the issue. I left understanding what my problem was which took away any worries and I was immediately in less pain…..result! I wouldn’t hesitate in going back. Don’t suffer with anything, see John ! Highly recommended - thanks

Fantastic experience: Great guy friendly and knowledgeable Would recommend, sorted my back no problems

Fantastic experience: Excellent service from start to finish. Consultation and physical investigation quickly identified the root cause of my pain (the neck). John then prescribed an after-care routine with a follow-up message to check the current status of the injury. I thoroughly recommend John and I would return again if my problems persisted. Tim Manchester

Fantastic experience: There won’t be enough space to fit in all the positives I have to say about John! So to narrow it down - he really REALLY knows his stuff and knows how to explain the stuff in an easy to follow format! John came highly recommended to me and I urge anyone who is thinking about seeing an osteopath to book in with John.

Fantastic experience: Very good indeed. Sorted my shoulder problem very quickly and effectively. I have recommended to others and they have all been very pleased too.

Fantastic experience: I had been struggling with my recovery following ACDF surgery. I was recommended to John by a friend. He has over a number of weeks worked with me to help ease the pain i was having in my neck head and shoulders. He explained everything in very easy to understand terms. I felt at ease on every visit. the results have been great and has very much aided my recovery. I would highly recommend John for any osteopathic needs.

Fantastic experience: Having had the same Osteopath for a year, when living in London, I was a little apprehensive to start all over again. However, after brilliant feedback from others at my CrossFit box I met John and received brilliant treatment. He was very patient, explained the injury, how the body works in that area, answered any questions I had with confidence and a provided course of treatment at home. Looking forward to the next time I have a check in with John.

Fantastic experience: I had been really struggling with neck and shoulder pain for a while, and it got so bad i was nearly unable to work with it. John has a lovely manner and he immediately put me at ease. He was very knowledgeable and diagnosed my problem immediately. After just one treatment and a stretching regime to do myself at home ...the pain has gone completely. I cannot recommend John highly enough. i will definitely be returning when this problem occurs again.

Fantastic experience: Having suffered with discomfort and pain in my shoulder for over a couple of years, and having visited multiple physiotherapists, it was only after seeing John that the root cause was diagnosed and finally alleviated. I would definitely recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend visiting John. I've struggled with back pain for years on and off and recently had really bad lower back pain, i couldn't exercise and was struggling with day to day life. Within a session, my back pain was almost completely alleviated. John was very patient and empathetic he clearly explained and involved me in the treatment by making sure I understood what the initial problem was and came up with a treatment plan going forwards that fit in with my lifestyle. I was back in the gym within a week. What a bearded legend he is! Thankyou!!

Fantastic experience: John is very knowledgeable and thorough. He really takes the time to properly diagnose the issue and to also clearly explain the best treatment needed and any at home exercises to speed up recovery. John makes you feel very comfortable and confident in his treatment due to his calm and reassuring approach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend High Peak Osteopathic.

Fantastic experience: I've seen John on a couple of occasions, the first was for a neck issue, stiffness and right shoulder. Then I pulled my lower back. From the first time I rang the clinic, he was professional, reliable and made me feel that he wanted to help. He's respectful and maintained my dignity throughout my treatment. The treatments and range of exercises have been very effective.

Fantastic experience: I have had creaky knees for a while, assuming old age/wear and tear but one of them just kept giving me pain and issues so thinking I may have injured it I went to see John. After a thorough examination John put my mind at rest.........no injury........he did however diagnose osteoarthritis and demonstrated a number of exercises that I can do as often as I can to keep them moving and he told me to continue with the exercise I currently do........I was dreading being told I had to stop! John has a lovely manner, is professional and explains things in a way you can understand , I left feeling positive about how I can help myself to keep my creaky knees moving. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I needed to and would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I went to see John on a recommendation when I was experiencing debilitating lower back pain. John worked out the location and cause of my pain, explained it in terms I understood (with a cool model of the lower spine) and after the first visit where he pushed/pressed on various areas I immediately felt an improvement. I only needed a total of 3 visits and my back has been fantastic and has not been giving me any drama since. John followed up the appointment with messages and sent me the videos of the exercises I should do to keep things on track….what a service! I thoroughly recommend John, he works out your problem and gets to work fixing it, no upselling of unnecessary treatments just straight forward advice and treatment that works.

Fantastic experience: I cannot write positively enough about my experience. John's knowledge and understanding is alone impressive but coupled with a calm, reassuring, honest and empathic approach compliments the treatment perfectly... two sessions on my dodgy back and the improvement was clear! I was genuinely so happy and the return to the gym was swift! ! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and puts you at ease. Several visits with several injuries and I’ve always been very impressed.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has had recurring back issues over many years, and being a very active person in sport and work, Johns in-person treatment and help with an ongoing management strategy has been fundamental in keeping me moving well, and being able to do the things I need and want to do day to day, as well as in competitive events.

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An osteopath who looks like he should be backstage with Slayer, yet speaks as though he’s just stepped out of a particularly well-mannered BBC period drama. Tattooed, bearded, heavily into Classic Rock and, somewhat unexpectedly, wonderfully well-spoken with just the right amount of camp. It’s an extraordinary combination — somewhere between a Viking, a mechanic and a mildly flamboyant Harley Street consultant. More importantly, he’s exceptionally good at what he does. He quickly worked out what was wrong, explained everything clearly and then proceeded to bend, pull and manipulate various parts of me until things started working properly again. Excellent treatment, great company and thoroughly entertaining throughout. I arrived moving like an elderly wardrobe and left considerably more mobile. Five stars. Would happily be assaulted professionally again.

Fantastic experience: I suffered with debilitating pain in my legs that stopped me from running and doing any plyometrics for about a month. Following rave reviews from fellow crossfitters, I went to see John. After just one session I was back running after 3 days. If only I had seen him sooner and I wouldn't have wasted a month!! I was also really impressed that he followed up with me to check in on my progress. Now that's superior customer service!

Fantastic experience: I visited John / High Peak Osteopathic @ Hall Bank Clinic, after suffering a tension headache for over a week. John took the time to listen and make me feel at ease. In less than 24 hours the headache had gone. John also gave me information on how to prevent any further headaches. I would highly recommend seeing John and he will be my first port of call for any future issues.

Fantastic experience: Visited John a couple of times over the last few months and it was well worth making the appointment. Really appreciate John taking the time to send over the extra exercises too that’s helped keep my back in good nick!

Fantastic experience: I went to John sometime after I’d had a nasty cycling injury where I jarred my back. Stupidly, I didn’t do anything immediately about it and it’s been nagging on and stopping my training. Two sessions and I’m back to normal. I don’t usually write reviews but the effects have been incredibly beneficial and I’m deeply appreciative. Thanks John!

Fantastic experience: John is excellent! He listened took the time to sort out all my issues. He always followed up the week after any appointments and gave homework, which I am still doing as it really helped! Don't suffer with pain anymore, you can live pain free, give John a shout and you won't be disappointed :)
