The Hyman Practice is on the second floor of the fairly new Attwood Green medical centre. The whole…read morebuilding is very modern and clean. The Hyman Practice is also very modern and clean with a spacious waiting room with lots of seats so you don't feel like you're catching anyone's bugs! As you walk in you can speak to the receptionists or use the self check in machine on the wall. I always find the reception staff kind and efficient. Reception staff often get a bad rep but they are lovely here. I visited different nurses at the practice several times last year as I had a burn that needed changing and checking. They were incredibly kind and gave excellent advice. I've only seen a doctor once and she was also very kind, efficient and helpful. Handily there is a pharmacy downstairs so you can pick up prescriptions there. There are just two issues. Firstly, it can be difficult to get an appointment with a doctor. You can sit on the phone ringing and ringing for ages. Secondly there is often a delay when waiting for your appointment. However I think these are problems across the NHS rather than with the individual practice.

Attended the Law of Attraction Workshop by Michael Jacobs today…read more Wonderful. I didnt realise this venue was here. It moved from Fletchers Walk to this new location in February. Inside is a welcoming reception area and to the right a large studio with wood flooring. Outdoor shoes are to be removed as you enter the calm tranquil room as the sound of relaxing beats and the smell of incense fill the air.

I have been going to this yoga studio for a number of years now. It is situated near the law courts…read moreand behind the Bannatyne gym in the City centre. The studio is decorated with warm colours and fabrics to make you feel relaxed. Its not big but does have a small room to change, a toilet and small shop selling clothes, mats and relevant books. The class I go to is Hatha yoga which lasts for half and hour and is great for beginners and those with more experience of yoga and there are different levels to each exercise and Christa the teacher is friends and helpful and knows her stuff! It's not cheap (£10/15 per session, but cheaper packages are available I think if you book a group of classes in one go), but is worth it, as you feel relaxed, but also like you have done some exercise at the end-great for after work people!

After studying the effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicines and a trip to China, I have…read morealways been interested acupuncture. I decided to give it a go to help my nerves and stress. I don't suffer from stress more than the next person, but we could all do with chilling out. I was lay face down on a comfortable bed and asked where the needles were going to go. I'm scared of needles and syringes, however the ones they were using were only very short and they are also very thin. The needles were intended for my ears. Apparently the ears have lots of meridian channels that need to be blocked. Obviously the worst part of this was the needles going in and out of my ear, but that didn't really hurt too much if I must be honest. I was left in the room with the needles in my ear for half an hour, and I must admit I felt quite relaxed. Afterwards I felt more ready to deal with the stress in my life. I don't believe this is suggestion, I believe it is actually effective. I was pleased with the overall service here and would recommend acupuncture to any of my friends.

I've never been into the idea of acupuncture myself, and I must admit I'm a little bit dismissive…read moreof herbal remedies in general. My wife, however, is a fan of Chinese tea and herbs and we regularly pop in here to get various supplies. The staff are helpful and extremely knowledable about their products and will always offer advice and alternatives. Despite my reservations, a product my wife calls White Flower has been something of a revelation for me. It's a clear liquid that is quite pungent, but it works absolute wonders on aching muscles and bones. After a long day fighting against my large and unruly garden, and after I've showered and collapsed on the sofa, I tend to seize up a wee bit (I'm getting old!) - when that happens, White Flower does the job.

This centre specialises in treatments and therapies with a holistic approach. That is, they…read moreapproach illness as mis-alignment of both body and mind, and believe that symptoms arise due to imbalance in both.

Hillmeads surgery is just your typical local doctors for around the Kings Norton, Hawksley and Pool…read moreFarm areas. It's family and children friendly, providing a petite little children's area in the corner of the waiting room as well as spaces for prams and push-chairs by the entrance which is easily accessible via the ramp into the surgery. The nurses and doctors here provide advice, support and inform patients of any matters caused for concern as well as supplying many means of actions to help their patients. If you're living locally around the area I would suggest registering with this NHS surgery as all nurses, doctors and reception staff are extremely helpful, gentle and informative with any queries you may have with them.

I am a complete Osteopathy convert, I was recommended Solihull Ostepathic Practice about a year ago…read morebut as I lead an active lifestyle and I'm a regular gym goer, I didn't think it would be of benefit and the pains I suffered,I had pretty much accepted as what I had to deal with. On arrival you are greeted by the lovely receptionists. I have met Donna and Fiona both of which made me feel at ease straight away and also Monty is adorable! You feel relaxed very quickly. Well... after visiting now for 4 treatment sessions I have a new respect and understanding for my body and how it works. I see Jeremy who is extremely skilled at pinpointing what I would term "pain epicentres" managing to understand my rambled attempts at explaining where I feel the pain is coming from, then he is able through palpation, to find the exact trigger point. After living with knee pain since childhood, to finally understand where the pain is actually coming from ( Jeremy explained a misformation of my hip) this was clarity for the first time in my life regarding this issue, of which doctors had previously misdiagnosed. Tantamount to this I've received treatment by way of deep massage and manipulation for TMJ disorder and ongoing neck pain, as well as, calf and ankle treatment down to my toes! Ask plenty of questions when you visit you get many answers as to how your individual anatomy works and advice on the effects of stress, emotions, sleep patterns and even how the way we breathe effects our daily life! Treatment and instruction on at home daily exercises and breathing techniques has improved my overall health tremendously, I have recommended many friends and family to Solihull Osteopathic Practice of which many have booked appointments for their complaints. Iwould recommend them to anyone. I have literally been fixed head to toe!
