The pain in my back comes and goes and often my muscles get so stiff in my neck that I can hardly turn my head. A friend of mine recommended trying acupuncture this is how I decided to go for a treatment with Karla. I was sceptical about it as I normally believe in the traditional methods although I thought I would give it a go and see what results I get. After the treatment I felt relaxed and I could realise how much less tension I have in my back muscles. I walked with ease and my posture has changed. Sitting in the office for a whole day is lot less problematic than it was before. I am pleased with the results and would recommend Karla to anybody who has similar problems to mine. She was caring during the treatment, constantly communicated and asked for my feedback after every move she made. I thought I would feel pain when the needles penetrate my back. For my biggest surprise out of the 18 needles in total I had, I could only feel one. I am glad I decided to try this service and looking forward to the following treatments. Nature Heals Is well recommended.

It literally took me years to figure out that the mirror fronted premises on Old Street with the…read moremodel spine above its awning was an osteopathy clinic. Stupid perhaps, slow, most definitely. Since discovering the Central London Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic however, I have not looked back. Now I'm no Olympiad but I did suffer a lot of back pain as a student huddled over my requisite Powerbook. And as such, the Central London Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic, and David Annett in particular who also gave me a lesson in 'the ergonomics of studying with a laptop' were nothing short of a Godsend. With a handful of impeccably trained osteopaths, an acupuncturist my mother swears by called Ann Bradford, naturopaths, kinesiologists, and yoga and pilates classes, the list of this clinic's merits and services could go on and on. At the risk of sounding overzealous, the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic is nothing less than a one stop shop for natural fixes to well worn problems and I, personally, cannot recommend it highly enough.

I have tried all the good clinics in London and nobody could fix me completely. Honestly, I almost gave up on my back. I have heard about how amazing Torben was from my husband's boss. I gave it one more try to see it will actually improve my back! I am so glad I did! I could feel the difference on my first visit. He really is amazing. Now I just had my 4th session and I can finally fly! (haha!) I am so free from the pain now. I definitely recommend him to everyone who is suffering from all different kind of pain. Thank you, Torben!

Dr Qian was recommended to me by a friend who had been to see him. On arriving I was seen…read moreimmediately and after discussing my health problem and asking some questions, the doctor had grasped what the problem was and how to fix it. Interestingly the solution was simple enough and after acupuncture and some medical massage I was again able to walk again without pain. At all times the doctor was professional and answered my questions without hesitation, because he knew exactly what the solution was. That in itself put me at ease. However the acupuncture needles really did not hurt. It is now 3 days since my treatment and I am pain free. Considering I walked around for 2 months during which time I visited doctors and physiotherapists, the acupuncture and massage I got at Bien Jn Chinese Medicine Centre was little short of a miracle. I would feel totally at ease recommending this clinic and especially doctor Qian to my mum or any friend of mine.

I was not sure of what treatment I needed. after a thorough phone consultation, Dr lily suggested that a 90 min acupuncture therapy would be the best way to start. That first treatment felt like a miracle. Dr lily was so professional and explained everything of what she was doing to get my whole body running effectively. I opted for a course of five 90 minute treatments. I have just finished my fourth and I cant believe the difference in me, not only is my shoulder feeling free with no pain, my other ailments that I didn't even go in for have subsided. Constipation, of which I had been suffering for literally months, and a bad hip that was caused by a road accident years ago, that left me limping the first five steps after sitting, is now non existent! I would never had believed it. I cant recommend highly enough. Just BRILLIANT!!!!!

One thing I've realized about London is that businesses located above street-level businesses often…read moretend to be nicer than those on street-level or worse, below street-level. As is the case with the Massage Centre. Booking was easy. I popped in one day and was able to get an appointment soon - the next day if I wanted. The space is clean and relaxing unlike other spas in the area (South Beach, Luminis (fka Dove Spa)) where the spa is loud and hectic and, god for bid, the therapy rooms are located below street-level and the constant creaking of floor boards completely ruins any therapy you are paying your hard earned cash for. My therapist was knowledgeable, used appropriate pressure, and provided me with stretching techniques to help reduce the stiffness and tension in my upper back. So, all of this was great. The other great thing about my therapist was that she did not pressure me to book massages every two weeks or even every month. She had a brain on her shoulders and understands how expensive a two-week massage regimen wold be. I mean, wouldn't we all get massages every two weeks if we could afford it? I bet Kim Kardashian gets a massage daily but you know what? I'm not Kim Kardashian. I'm just a normal person with bad posture from banging away on the computer writing Yelp reviews all damn day. Nothing ruins a relaxing experience more than being made to feel bad about not treating your body awesomely by getting massages every two weeks. And I'm happy to report that no one at TMC made me feel bad about not getting a massage every two weeks. So, thanks, TMC!

Other notes: office is unmarked. There's no receptionist, so if you want to check in or whatever, I still have no idea where you'd go. I'm glad some people like this place, but it's not for me.
