Dislocated Ribs, Displaced Joints In Neck And Back, Repetitive Strain Injury

I would without hesitation recommend everyone to my osteopath, David Melrose. He was originally recommended to me by a doctor-friend nearly 20 years ago, and during the last 20 years has “rescued” me many times after various mishaps. He has treated diverse problems such as dislocated ribs, “locked” muscles or displaced joints in neck or back, repetitive strain injury in arm, and has also much-alleviated a chronic (not entirely curable) muscle-weakness problem resulting from an old abdominal injury. His use of Applied Kinesiology inspires confidence, in exact pinpointing of the location of damage or displacement even when symptoms are puzzling and obscure. In fact, I don’t understand why this wonderful extra tool for diagnosis and treatment is not eagerly sought-after by all osteopaths.

Dupuytren’s Contracture, Frozen Shoulder, Neck Stiffness

Laurie has helped cure me of Dupuytren contracture, which is apparently incurable apart from surgery – 40% successful, but Laurie solved this after 4 or 5 treatments. Also solved a really painful frozen shoulder and has kept my ‘T2’ neck problem in check.

He is a really personable young man and I cannot recommend him any more that saying “trust this guy”. Totally converted as a non alternative person that I was.

Very good osteopaths, thank you enormously to Anne Mamok and David Melrose, also thank you to the good, attentive and professional acupuncturist Caterina that made me trust acupuncture therapy as I never had it before, I have used these 3 professionals for tennis elbow and knee injury. A trustworthy place where I keep coming back whenever I have a problem, even if I have moved to a different area. Such a good, involved team with very responsive receptionists, too 💛.

Knee Arthritis

I came to the Aston Clinic with my son twenty years ago and have stayed here ever since repairing all the ailments of the whole family.
Lately, when the old age started creeping in I have become a more frequent visitor and each time David Melrose the Master performed miracles as I was rising like a phoenix from the ashes – firstly limping into the clinic and then leaving it in pirouettes and other ballet poses like a real ballerina.

The crux of the matter is that my wonky knee destined to be replaced has been saved by David. According to the opinion of the eminent orthopaedic London surgeon I have the strongest thigh muscles on earth and should be entered in the Guinness Book of Records. Have told him about David and the doctor’s order is to carry on seeing him for ever and ever… David, how can I thank you….

David Melrose has treated most of my family (babies to grannies) with great success. Problems dealt with include back problems – trapped nerves – injuries – allergies and stomach problems. Recently, he has helped alleviate the pain of post herpetic neuralgia – when others had given up.
