Blackberry Clinic

I’m a brute of a man, who spent too many years abusing my body with sport, only to then abuse it further with a phase of physical inertia.

With an urgent surgical operation looming, I dived back into my old training regimen with nine sets of 20+Kg man makers in an attempt to drop my weight for game time. Upon completion of the MMs, I herniated discs in my back and needed urgent manipulation.

Putting “osteopathy” into google, I telephoned the first 8 numbers that were pooled. None were able to see me within the next two weeks and most didn’t even pick up.

I then remember having had treatment at the Blackberry Clinic years ago. I phoned at lunch and was seen at 2:30pm.

Slipped discs are egregious, but osteopath, Rose... put her skilled ministrations to work and clicked me back together, relatively pain free.

First class service offered same day. That’s infinitely better than the other Bucks alternatives. Thanks Rose and Paige for being great.

All in all, I found that this clinic provides a mixed service, having been there enough times. There's a fair chance though, that whoever you see will waste your time and money with some pointless massage and tell you very little to help.

I unfortunately had an issue that was oversimplified and lots of time was wasted to get pretty much nowhere, in the end I got far better results and advice elsewhere (5 minutes online for instance!). The staff seemed too stressed to care enough to understand progress or ask any questions, acting like the problem had to be very simple and that the minimal advice must be working wonders. They are probably very used to minor sports injuries with full time athletes, utterly misunderstanding how to handle a much more longstanding injury.

Bear in mind that they may waste your time with lousy treatment, so if you want to try this clinic, pay attention to if they are actually helping - they will probably say how great they are doing either way
