Fantastic experience: Cheryl is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. She made me feel completely comfortable from the very first appointment. She explained everything clearly and created a safe, supportive environment to discuss concerns that aren’t always easy to talk about. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my symptoms and overall comfort. I’m incredibly grateful and highly recommend her to anyone needing pelvic floor therapy.

Di Stratton Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I received much relief after the first session and feel so much better after only 2 sessions. Cheryl was very friendly and listened, asking appropriate questions. She was interested in me as a whole person, not just my aches and pains, and gentle but firm, hitting the right spots immediately! I am immensely grateful for her knowledge, expertise and encouragement to do the assigned exercises. I felt very comfortable with her and grateful to be able to walk again without pain.

Fantastic experience: My first time Grace hill, a very thorough review of my symptoms with Cheryl, she then did an assessment on me and gave me some information, I was very impressed with her knowledge and tips to help me with the issue, have booked again already

Rebecca Pelly-Fry Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cheryl is a fantastic health practitioner and holistic healer. I feel treated with great care by her - 100% recommended for all-round holistic health support, as well as for specific issues.

Sophie Williams Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Rebecca is amazing. I took my 7 week old baby to see her after he was born with some nerve damage and favouring turning his head to the right. Not only is she calm, kind and gentle, but her treatment is really effective. After our first session with her, he was already turning his head much more freely. I will be continuing to see her until he is using full range of movement on his own. Can’t recommend her enough!

Mani and Becca Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Quite astonishing, in all ways. Osteo - Cheryl has, quite literally, FIXED a long standing issue with my back, within two sessions. Massage. - Rebecca - honestly the best follow-up I could have wished for. Utterly brilliant deep tissue massage supporting my previous treatments. I feel like a new (but still old) man. It’s evident these guys have not only the skills and knowledge to deliver therapeutic treatment, but additionally that they work as a team to deliver a brilliant, brilliant service at a really fair price. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you guys so much. 10 stars.

Suzanne Cadisch Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cheryl is a truly fantastic find! I'm new to the area and was sad to leave my old osteopath but every cloud has a silver lining. Cheryl quickly traced a new knee problem to a long-standing (but I thought now insignificant) foot issue and made an immediate difference. Her explanations are clear and concise and she took the trouble to film some bespoke exercises for me. Highly recommended.

Collette Poore Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Cher this week, having met her previously I knew she was warm, caring and supportive and this shone through in the appointment where she put me at ease. She was thorough in our consultation, listening without judgement, she gave me helpful and supportive advice and things to do regularly. During the session she adapted based on how I found activities. This session was followed up with incredibly informative support information via email which includes a pdf of further reading as well as video guides for the exercises I should work on. The app she has given me access to allows me to log the completion of these tasks adding to the accountability to stick with it. I would recommend Cher to others, in fact, I already have!

Fantastic experience: A beautiful, calm space with an excellent array of classes and treatments. I can highly recommend Cheryl Hart for Osteopathy. Cheryl explains everything clearly so you understand how your body works. She gives you exercises so you can help yourself and works very gently, and respectfully with your body. She is extremely knowledgeable and very understanding of how injury, age and illness affect you as a whole. She is a true professional, makes you feel totally relaxed in her presence and has the ability to fix you. Equally, Andrea's pilates classes are strong and well thought out. She can take one look at your posture, see your imbalances and help you work through them to give you a stronger, more aligned body alleviating pain and stress on the body. If you are looking for somewhere to go, then I would start with the team at Grace Hill. Having trained in bodywork, I appreciate the high level of treatment and experience that they offer. They really are the best.

Fantastic experience: I’m not sure how only 2 sessions so far has helped my pain in my neck and hip. Cheryl is truly magic! ✨ She listens to you, does thorough assessments, and responds to you if you need advice. The exercise that are tailored to me have been a game changer and my hip feels so much stronger. I will definitely get back to running sooner now. Thanks again Cheryl.

Serena Zerbino Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Life-Changing Experience with Cheryl at Live Well Osteopathy I've been seeing Cheryl at Live Well Osteopathy for the past three years, and I can honestly say she has made a huge difference in my life. I originally went to her for chronic pain in my ankle—pain that I had been living with for over 10 years following a break. After just a few sessions, I felt like a completely new person. Since then, Cheryl has helped me with various back and hip issues caused by my work, but the most important breakthrough came when she tackled the severe headaches I’d been suffering with for three years. These headaches were so bad I was receiving nerve block injections in my head through the doctors, without anyone knowing the actual cause. Cheryl managed to get to the root of the problem in just a few sittings, and since then, I haven’t needed a single injection. It's honestly been life-changing. Cheryl is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she’s also kind, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about her work. She takes the time to explain everything clearly, and you can really tell she cares about her patients' wellbeing. I always recommend her to anyone in need of help, and I’m so grateful for everything she’s done for me. Thank you, Cheryl!

Ella Bowman Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I thought a Mummy MOT was just a new and inventive way for the middle classes to waste their money, so I went in slightly sceptical of the high praise I'd heard. Cheryl's care was a revelation. Cannot recommend booking in a postpartum session with her enough. I felt so supported, validated, informed and reassured about all things: my feelings about my body and birth, my physiology as a result of the birth, and my next steps for supporting my body and my healing. I am yet another evangelist for Cheryl's expertise and care.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend Cheryl

Liz Flynn Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I've seen both Cheryl and Bea over the past couple of years and both are fantastic. Recently I've been working with Bea on some neck and back pain and not only has she helped 'realign' me every session but she has also taken care to make sure the sessions are never uncomfortable or awkward. When I first came to see Bea I was in a difficult stage of life and she really helped me come through this by reminding me of the importance of self care and striving for the things that make you happy- as well as supporting those around you. A few months later and I feel like my life has progressed into a whole new journey- thank you Bea! X

Saman Ahmed Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Had been having severe headaches, back and neck pain issues coupled with anxiety. Found Cheryl through researching online and I feel lucky to have found her. She considers all aspects and gives a thorough diagnosis. Though, I have not recovered fully but her treatment and guidance about exercises has definitely helped me.

Richard and Suzanne Hewson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Yesterday I had my second session with Cheryl. The difference to my pain levels in just over a week following an exercise programme and Cheryl's treatment interventions has been huge. I highly recommend this lovely practitioner who has a gentle respectful manner and made me aware of how better to look after my own wellbeing physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: Cheryl is an absolute GEM. So knowledgeable. She helped me during my pregnancy and postpartum. Highly reccomend.

Amy Austin Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I recently had an online osteopathy appointment with Cheryl, and it was fantastic. I felt comfortable throughout, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Doing it from home was perfect, especially since I don’t drive and find it hard to get to the clinic. Cheryl is so knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the perineum, including it’s location and how to relax and breathe to help reduce my urinary incontinence. I never felt embarrassed or judged; it was a completely safe space. I highly recommend online appointments with Cheryl for the convenience and supportive experience.

Fantastic experience: After one session with Baye my sticky SI pain has vanished and my hip mobility has increased massively. I felt really safe and comfortable during treatment and she checked in multiple times especially working around intimate areas of the pelvis. I would 100% recommend Baye and seeking treatment at Live Well if you are struggling or just want to understand your body better. They are the most knowledgable and compassionate team going :)

Steve Joyce Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Off and on, the whole family have been seeing Cheryl for many years. Currently have a hip problem which I suspected and Cheryl confirmed is being caused by other factors. Always calm and reliable I am confident the diagnosis is the right one

Charlotte Chapman Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cheryl has helped me to understand why I was getting lower back pain and in only a couple of sessions I'm feeling so much better! I have more of an understanding now of the role my pelvic floor is playing. She is very welcoming and reassuring, and I feel confident I'm in safe hands! Through our work together and through the bespoke gentle movement plan she has set for me to do at home I feel so much more in control and confident if and when I do feel any twinges in my back. I no longer panic, I'm listening to my body more now and understanding what it needs. And that's all thanks to Cheryl! Thank you!

Giovanni Scialo Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had loads of issues with my lower back and what I thought was sciatica. On the first consultation Cheryl was able to immediately diagnose my issues. Through physio, which you must of course do, I was able to move again. After only 3 sessions I am back to full physical health. I am moving better, sleeping better, achieving great results at the gym. Thank you Cheryl

Fantastic experience: Cheryl is a magician! She made me feel very welcome and after a few questions got straight to the centre of the problem. If you have a problem, don't wait, make an appointment now!

Lucia Power Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cheryl is fantastic! I've was recommended by a colleague saying his wife has an amazing experience and positive results seeing Cheryl. She is extremely kind and sensitive, listens to what your body needs, advises on the best exercises to use. I couldn't recommend her more to any one and everyone.

Georgia Robinson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic mummy MOT from Cheryl following my c-section 10 months ago. I was struggling with pelvic floor issues and tightness on my scar. She gave me a scar tissue massage and used a special machine to help soften the scar tissue, I can already feel a difference with it and will be booking a follow up appointment. Cheryl is very friendly and professional, she listened to all of my concerns and made sure I had a good understanding of the treatments. I would highly recommend Cheryl!

Fantastic experience: My pelvic pain came on really suddenly and I was able to get an appointment really promptly with Michelle and I'm so glad I did. The next day my pain had reduced by 80%. She's a miracle worker. She really listened to me and my body and was able to pinpoint exactly what was going on and treat me accordingly. She also creates a very welcoming, calming and nurturing environment which made me feel confident I was being looked after the minute I stepped into the beautiful treatment room. Michelle is so knowledgeable and has worked wonders so I highly recommend her. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I have seen both Michelle and Cheryl over the years and they are always professional, thorough with their diagnosis and treatment without being heavy-handed. I always leave the clinic feeling better and more balanced then when I arrived. They only want to see you back if they feel that you would benefit from the visit Vs other clinics I have been to before where they want to see you fortnightly. I couldn't recommend this place enough.
