Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful service on every appointment! I can’t recommend Jonathan enough!
Thanks Tom, really pleased the treatment helped!
Fantastic experience: Jonathan was very helpful in supporting me on how to understand the chronic pain that is experienced for more than a year. i felt very reassured after my session, and after following Jonathan’s advice, I am very glad to say that my chronic pain has now eased. Jonathan was always very friendly, professional, caring, and helpful. I would highly recommend
Very pleased to hear you're doing better now! All the best :)
Fantastic experience: After experiencing an unexpected trapped nerve in my shoulder and a lot of discomfort Johnathan got to the root cause quickly. After exercises, stretching and massages he helped to release the nerve in the first session. The second session involved similar stages and really helped with my recovery and allowed me to get back on with daily life. He gave me some work to do after to help with recovery. His professional and intelligent way of work is faultless and can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Johnathan
Thanks for the amazing review ed! Glad you're doing better
Fantastic experience: As a physio, I need regular physical therapy to prevent my own work-related aches and pains. Jonathan keeps me in great working order with regular maintenance — I highly recommend for anyone with any sort of physically demanding job!
Thanks for the review Lola, glad we can help!
Fantastic experience: Jonathon was honest, kind and extremely thorough. I am finally assured the end is possible with problems that have been occurring for years. I will definitely be returning again for his magical hands!
Thanks for the review Tom, glad the treatment helped and take care. Regards, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Johnathan . Having chronic pain for over 10 years it has been so refreshing to see someone who really listens about what’s important to me (eg exercise etc) and understands, explains what’s going on and most importantly doesn’t just promote one size fits all approach. Although not a cure as such, I feel I have the tools to manage my pain and know I can go back for hands on therapy if it’s needed.
Hi Melanie, this is such a lovely review. Chronic pain is such an isolating and confusing condition. It's so good to hear that you've had such a good response and it shows that it is a manageable condition if treated in the right way. Hopefully now you can share the information you've learnt to others who are suffering so we can reach as many people as possible! Warm wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable osteopath. I had my first ever osteopath appointment with Jonathan and he was brilliant. His suggestions for rehabilitation and treatment have meant I've made a lot of quick recovery progress. I'd highly recommend him to anyone struggling with an injury or long term health complaint.
Thanks for the great review Alison. All the best with everything going forwards
Fantastic experience: Jonathan is an excellent osteopath who fitted me into his busy schedule to quickly diagnose my achiles problem and then treated it effectively. He has an excellent bedside manner and is very professional in all he does. I highly recommend him.
It's been a pleasure treating you Graham and I'm glad things are much easier for you now. Regards, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Have recently visited Jonathan for neck issue , despite seeing a Gp and physio for several sessions prior to seeing Jonathan- I was getting no better ! I was at the point of unbearable pain and neck stiffness. Jonathan spotted the problem the physio had clearly missed and I was reassured immediately! Jonathan is very good at his job . Friendly and knowledgeable and within just one session I felt relief. I'm very pleased to of found him and will continue to visit to rectify the problem. Highly recommended
Hi Rebecca, thanks for the lovely review and so glad you're feeling better! Best wishes, Jonathan

Thank you so much for your lovely review Lianne. I am so so pleased you're doing so well after all that time! All the best, Jonathan

Hi Sarla,
Thanks for the lovely review and good to see you're much better now best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Jonathan treated a pulled muscle in my lower back. As well as hands-on treatment he gave great advice (very reassuring when you're not sure what to do) and an exercise plan which worked a treat. And is a really nice guy to boot.
Hi Reuben,
Thanks for the review, glad we could help!
Fantastic experience: I had 2 major operations on my feet this year and spent alot of time unable to walk. My right knee, lower back and right shoulder were all in great pain. Johnathan’s expert treatment, advice and exercise programme are having such a positive impact on my health and well-being. I am starting to walk with a spring in my step, I am no longer limping and getting to being pain free. We are continuing the treatment and am confident that Johnathan’s work will help get me back on my feet. I highly recommend.
Thanks so much for your review Colette and good to see you're doing so much better
Fantastic experience: Faced with crippling back pain I got an emergency appointment. Jonathan was super, sorted my back out and ran me through ways to strengthen my back to avoid reoccurrence. Would 100% recommend.
Hi Tim, thanks so much for your review! All the best, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Jonathan was brilliant and very understanding. I was suffering from really bad lower back pain for 3 weeks, to the point it was effecting my job, after the first session my back felt 100 times better. The aftercare exercise routines, also provided, really helped to keep the issue at bay. Would highly recommend
Hi Mia, thanks for your lovely review and I'm pleased your back is so much better!
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Jonathan regarding my Lower/upper back pain. He made me feel very relaxed and comfortable during the appointment and within the one session had erased my stiff neck and greatly eased my back pain, it is also continuing to improve with the daily exercises he has instructed me to do. Overall Great value for money and excellent treatment provided. couldn’t recommend Jonathan any higher!
Hi Casey, interesting Google profile name! Glad we could help and all the best Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have a complex condition (EDS) that results in both short term injury and chronic pain/fatigue. Having moved to Brighton only recently, I was so lucky to have found Jonathan! After an ankle injury, he took time to hear all my symptoms, worked on the injury and surrounding areas of concern. Inflammation and swelling went down almost immediately, and movement has improved. I’ll be returning regularly for general maintenance and can’t recommend him enough!
Such a lovely review Tash! Thank you and glad we could help
Fantastic experience: Jonathan was an amazing Osteo for me as a runner with adductor injuries. He quickly diagnosed and came up with a treatment plan that didn’t involve lots of manipulation or too much rest. I could stay active and build back strength. I feel like I’ve not only recovered from injury but got stronger. And he’s super nice to boot! Recommend him for any runner, triathlete etc
Thanks so much for your review James!
Fantastic experience: Jonathan really helped my injury and put my body back in alignment. He was strong and loosened everything off including my neck, back, hips etc.
Hi Charlie, thanks so much for your review and glad we could help :)
Fantastic experience: Jonathan quickly honed in on the cause of my aches and pains and manages my rehab through a hybrid of home/in-person treatments to avoid unnecessary appointments (and expense!). He’s super friendly, knowledgable and talks in layman’s! Great find :)
Thanks for your lovely review Jenni!
Fantastic experience: Have been to see Jonathan a few times now and the improvement in how I am feeling is amazing. My posture has improved and the pain (including headaches) I had have gone. Jonathan gives great advise for looking after yourself with exercises and techniques, to take better care of yourself. Will continue to have sessions, in order to keep any more back problems at bay. Highly recommend
Thanks so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Jonathan for a few months now and he has made a huge difference to the problems I was having. I would and have recommended him to others!
Hi Stella, always a pleasure to treat you and glad you're doing so much better ☺️ kind regards, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I am a regular client and I highly recommend Jonathan. He has got experience and knowledge under his belt. He looks at the problem with its complexity, listens attentively, does thorough examination and gives holistic treatment. Physical manipulations together with his recommendations on stretching, exercises, breathing and healthy lifestyle perform miracles to the body.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Olga. So pleased we could help you. All the best, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Jonathan is incredible! I feel my praise will fall far short. I've suffered from lower back pain for over a decade and had become jaded by my constant relapses into pain. Jonathan supported me to make some small adjustments to my learnt movement habits and also helped me look at the pain I was experiencing and its triggers. I am at the start of a longer emotional journey but have been without back pain for 6 months. Thank you.
Hi Kathryn, I'm so happy where you are now! Thank you so much for the review, pleased I could help. Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Fantastic practitioner, completely understood my issue immediately and gave me several useful exercises to do which have already led to major improvements. Can't recommend highly enough.
Hi Isaac, thanks for your review and pleased we could help. Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have a long term neck injury which has slowly deteriorated over a number of years. My NHS consultant had advised that there was no cure for the injury but recommended physiotherapy to alleviate the pain and discomfort. This did not work leaving me with the option to put up with my situation. Since then I have had 3 or 4 sessions with Jonathan and whilst there is still no cure, he has brough the pain and discomfort under control and radically improved my lifestyle. Jonathan is extremely professional and takes the time to understand your issue. His knowledge and experience enabled him to get to the root cause of my problem and recommend an action plan which we both agreed. The result is that I can get on with life and focus on what matters most to me. Should I need further support I know exactly where to go now and can recommend Jonathan for anyone in a similar situation to mine.
Hi Renwick, review finally came through! thanks for the great feedback! So pleased it has helped and I hope it continues to help! Best, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: First time in all the years of trying Osteopaths and Chiropractors that I've found one who is genuinely amazing. Jonathan was very quick to diagnose and help me resolve my issue. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Would not hesitate to return if needed; can’t recommend him enough.
Thank you so much for your review reggie, so pleased we could help you! Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have received excellent treatment from Jonathan for my knee injury & hip issues. Both issues are completely resolved now thanks to him. Jonathan is very good at what he does I can’t recommend him highly enough…infact I do to my massage clients in a regular basis. He is professional and kind and works from a great practice at Core Chiropractic on New England Hill.
Hi Nina, what a lovely review, thank you! Always a pleasure and always here to help. Take care, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Jonathon really helped with my stiff shoulder, he worked around the whole area which eased the tightness and gave me more movement. He’s friendly, approachable and clearly knows his stuff. I would definitely recommend him!
Hi Paula, pleased we could help you and all the best :) Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Expert and friendly, Jonathan has helped me with my lower back, hip and knee problems. He has left me with all the right tools to now maintain the improvements he made.
Hi Rene, thank you for your review. Glad you are in a good position to manage things now, keep it up! Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have been having treatment with Jonathan Gaffney regarding my on going back problems. His treatment and insightful advice without doubt has made a huge difference to my recovery. Jonathan is very extremely knowledgeable about his practice, which has been so helpful in enabling me to have strategies to strengthen my back muscles. If/when in the future I have further back problems, I will go back to Jonathan for sure.
Hi Tania, thank you for the lovely review. So pleased you are back to doing everyday things without back ache! Keep up the good work, following the exercises as you always do! Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Jonathan is friendly, helpful and welcoming, he made me feel at ease which I think is key for any medical appointment. He was able to make my neck pain and headaches go away and gave me exercises to do at home and tips to prevent pain, which really helped. I definitely recommend him, he's great at his job!
Hi klervi, thank you so much for your review and I'm glad you're doing better. Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have had 6 sessions with Jonathon to treat my problem of very painful sciatica. It has been so successful. Jonathon has been first class in his understanding of my condition and how to treat it. His holistic approach to oesteopathy is very professional and reassuring. He always explains why certain things hurt and how they can be treated. Each session I have come away with renewed confidence that my condition was going to get better and improvement has been seen week on week. Jonathon gave me several exercises to do on a daily basis and these really helped. I am now pain free and have full understanding of what has been going on for me with the sciatica and what to do if it should happen to return. If you are looking for an oesteopath but have never been to one before then please take my recommendation and visit Jonathon. No matter what your ailment is I have every confidence that his treatment plan for you will result in a positive improvement to your condition. Diane Howe
Hi Diane, thank you so much for your lovely review. So glad I could be of help to you and glad to hear you're doing so much better. It's been a pleasure to treat you. Best wishes, Jonathan.
Fantastic experience: I have been using Jonathon for nearly two years now. He has managed my pain and taken me from injured and weak to a place where I can exercise and become healthier and more active. He's a brilliant Osteopath and he really understands the human body.
Hi Samir, thank you for your kind review, glad we can help! Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Will be recommending to everyone! Extremely professional, identified the issue within minutes and I'm well on the road to recovery. Thank you so much :)
Hi Aimée, thanks so much for your review. Glad we could help.
Regards,
Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have seen Jonathon over the last 4 years whenever I have had back or shoulder problems. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and more importantly, finds the problem straight away and i am always amazed at how quickly the pain dissipates. He always explains what is happening in the body to cause the pain and what home care I can do to help. I also need to add that it was Jonathon who diagnosed my daughter’s hip problem and got her referred. It turned out she actually needed a hip replacement!
Hi Sue, thank you so much for your lovely review. It's always a pleasure to treat the Gravett's! Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Always able to quickly diagnose and solve the problems I have with my back. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Talks you through the issue and gives you advice on how to prevent further problems. Always friendly service and great value for money.
Hi Tom, I appreciate your kind review and I'm glad we can be of good service. Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Had a seized up neck, for the second time, so figured it was best to see someone. So glad I went here, lovely relaxed environment where we discussed all things that could have affected my neck and the exercises he gave me saw massive improvements in between sessions. Even though my neck is better I'm probably going to go back for massages from time to time.
Hi Thomas, thank you for your review and I'm glad your neck is better. Always here to help. Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Jonathan a while now for multiple complaints some which have been acute and some I have suffered with along time, which means every session is different. This shows he is very knowledgeable, and truly understands and cares about what is best to protect and heal my body. He takes the time to assess and explain about what is going on and the importance of our work together to get me back to full health. He provides a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. He is a professional I truly trust and without doubt recommend.
Hi Jess, thank you for such a lovely review. So glad that things are starting to improve and I'll always be on hand to help ☺
Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I went for treatment with Jonathan to sort my back out as I'd been having problems for years. Jonathan pinpointed which vertebrae and muscles were problematic and worked on them to loosen them. I felt better after the first treatment and was given exercises to do at home to continue my improvement. I'd highly recommend Jonathan as he's very knowledgeable and informative and a nice guy too.
Hi Danny, so pleased we could help you.
Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend. Highly professional and efficient service by Jonathan. I visited for a treatment on my back and neck due to working from home for the past year with poor posture. I instantly felt relief after the treatment and will continue with the exercises I have been advised to do which are helping and will be back for a follow up treatment.
Glad we could help you Soni, keep it up!
Best wishes, Jonathan.
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Jonathan, in just few sessions he helped me with a long lasting problem with my back. Thank you!
Thank you Maria, I'm glad we could help. Best wishes, Jonathan

Hi Marisol, I'm pleased things are better for you and keep up the good work :)
Fantastic experience: An excellent experience. Went for two issues, both resolved after 3 visits. Jonathan is keen to get to the root of the problem to help prevent reocurrance. Given exercises to consolidate which are easy to do. I went after lockdown eased and was very happy with the procedures in place.
Hi Jacquie, I'm very pleased we could help. Best wishes, J

Hi David, pleased we continue to help you :) All the best, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Having had back pain for a long time due to sporting injuries I went to Jonathan for help and wow, in only a few sessions I had a dramatic turn around. With a wealth of knowledge and techniques he has worked magic. Setting me up with the tools to manage and maintain long term issues I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a friendly, very competent and knowledgable osteopath.
Hi Mark, so glad we could help! All the best, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I saw Jonathan for niggling knee injury which came about from running. Started a running programme and with his help and advice both knees are now pain free after 1 treatment. Excellent, would highly recommend.
Hi Callum, pleased that you are back running now! All the best, J
Fantastic experience: Jonathan was professional and friendly, and was quickly able to locate the problem with my shoulder. The pain was significantly better after the first treatment! I will be recommending Jonathan to friends and family should they ever need it.
I'm so pleased we could help you Bradley. All the best with everything, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: Went to Jonathan with intermittent lower back pain, from unavoidable awkward carrying whilst at work. He was able to reduce pain significantly with first visit. After the session he also gave me various excersises and stretches to do. Since, I've had minimal issues. If the pain comes back I will definitely be returning.
Hi Ollie, glad we could help.
Best wishes, Jonathan
Fantastic experience: I recently went for treatment with Jonathan and was really impressed. This was the first time I have needed to use an osteopath, and would recommend him to all. I developed a back problem and could hardly get out of my car, yet managed to get back into it after the appointment much easier. He has a very holistic approach, looking at my lifestyle and job. I have also had some really effective exercises from him which I am doing at home and feel the continued benefit. Highly professional- I can't thank you enough for your help.
Hi Alicia, I'm so glad we could help you!
All the best, Jonathan
