Testimonials
Having suffred from back and neck pain for a few years, I had tried different forms of pain management such as a chiropractor and holistic therpay. Nothing seemed to relieved the pain. Having recently joined Bushey Grove, I discovered the clinic, via the hertsmere leisure website and decided to attempt osteopathy. I felt that only karishma really got to the core of the problem and educated me as to why my discomfort occurred in the first place.
After only two sessions of electro-therapy, acupucture, soft tissue work and manipulation, I am now comfortable pain free, something I have not experienced for a few years. The impact this has had on my life is immeasurable, as I am now able to do the things that I previously found too painful. Had I known osteopathy and its results I would have chosen this treamtnet before anything else I endured in the quest for pain relief and freedom of movement.

I had severe lower back problems for over two years. Some days the pain would be so bad that I would have difficulty in walking but on a normal day it would be enough pain which I could bare, I learnt to live with the pain but in the last year the problem had spread to my left shoulder, which would make it difficult for me to do everyday chores. My mum was having treatment with krishma and suggested I give it go too. I was given a one hour assessment and treatment session, she diagnosed the problem and showed me where I was going wrong. After just the first treatment my shoulder pain had completely gone, I had tried massages and oils and all sorts of things in the past but nothing had given me long term relief. The lower back pain is much better than before, karishma showed me excersices and stretches to do, and helped me correct my posture which has helped me a lot. I only needed one treatment but I know if I need her again I can just give her a call or drop her an email. Karishma was very helpful and gave me a lot of advice which has improved my way of living and I can't thank her enough for what she has done for me. Thank u soo much karishma, its like u have magic hands! My shoulder pain has completely gone!

I went to see Karishma during my third pregnancy having experienced back problems with my second. She was very thorough in examining my posture and assessing what my problems and weaknesses were. We started treatment the first day, which included acupuncture which relieved most of my symptoms. She was very professional, but friendly and welcoming at the same time and always explained every procedure she was performing. I also received a lot of information to help me after my visit to the clinic – stretches, hot/cold water treatment as well as advice on pregnancy including diet and exercise. I was shocked at how soon after the first session I felt an improvement in my problem and know that after the birth of my baby I will be able to continue treatment with her to focus on maintaining a healthy back and posture and to deal with any after effects of pregnancy.

I came to Karishma with the complaint of poor digestion of food and issues with endometriosis. After examination, Karishma was able to suggest that I had a form of IBS that is stopping my digestive organs from communicating and therefore food was not moving along as it should. She massaged the areas concerned and recommended Aloe Vera drops in water to effectively detox my insides and also to take Pearl YB probiotics. I also received a diet showing which foods to avoid and which foods would aid digestion. We tried acupuncture but unfortunately this didn’t work so well – I had a very twingey nerve in my lower back which made acupuncture quite uncomfortable, however the electro-therapy helped to loosen the muscles in the area. I have been back for another session and can report that my digestive system has definitely improved and that my periods have got on track since taking the Aloe Vera, it seems to have had a very positive effect on my hormones. I would recommend Karishma’s osteotherapy for understanding your body and your organs better – Karishma always shows diagrams and explains exactly what she is doing and why. If you don’t want to be a slave to painkillers, this is definitely worthwhile and it has been really effective in treating the horrendous PMT I was suffering leading up to, and during, the first few days of menstruation.

I had a bad back, neck and shoulder pain. A friend at work suggested seeing Karishma. I didnt have to wait for long at the centre. During the whole process, it was very informative in terms of what was wrong with me, and what treatments could help. I was very pleased that Karishma treated me with acupuncture, stretching, rotation, electrotherapy all in one session. It was a much needed MOT!
I was also given home advise, like hot and cold hydrotherapy, and specific and regular exercises and natural supplements. Nothing was rushed and I felt very comfortable with eer and she has a great sense of humour. Her 3 treatments, helped me and i will definately would go see her again if i need an MOT.
