what
people
say

Jools + Jamie Oliver

“I came to Alex when I had tried literally everything and everyone to ease the severe pain in my neck. A few months later I am now basically back to my complete old self with nearly all mobility restored in my neck and, frankly, throughout my whole body — which is incredible after not long having had my fifth child! Alex is extremely calm, knowledgeable; sensitive both medically and psychologically, the changes he has made to my well-being are nothing short of a miracle. We have been lucky to have had Alex treat not just myself but also my husband and daughter for various ailments and worries. This has proved to be invaluable especially because my daughter is tackling major school exams. Alex doesn’t just heal the body but also the mind.”

Francesca Cumani

ITV Racing Presenter

“Alex is the only osteopath I have been to so turns out he had a lot of different issues to deal with. What I particularly like is that he takes the time to explain the issue and how he deals with it and I love walking out feeling the benefits almost immediately. Annoyingly I have recommended him to that many people now I can hardly get an appointment! ”

David Morgan (MBE)

Weightlifter – Commonwealth Champion + Olympian

“I trust Alex’s healing hands to identify – and then sort – any physical niggles that might get in the way of my training. Any time I have sought his help, Alex’s advice has always been sound and his knowledge of the workings of the human body impressive. No athlete wants to be suffering and unable to train; Alex gets you back on track swiftly and expertly. Dave Morgan, the most successful Commonwealth athlete ever… just in case you had forgotten!”

María Marfina

Former Professional Tennis Player

“Having a professional career in any sport will leave you with a long life injuries you don’t feel when you are young but you can’t stop thinking when you are older.

After 8 years competing against top tennis players in the world and 20 plus years of day after day coaching the pain grows in every part of the body that was damaged in earlier years. I used several sports specialists to help me to release it. And after 6 years I accepted that feeling pain in one part or another is a normal thing.

What a miracle i experienced after sessions with Alex at Cambridge Osteopath Clinic when I got rid of wrist tendinitis and numbness in my thumb and fingers, elbow pain, tension in my neck, ankle pain, hip pain and I can carry on. ”

John Williams

President of England Golf 2017-2018

“I have been treated by Alex Taylor since 2001 for various joint, muscle and flexibility problems. He is friendly, understanding of the activities I want to pursue, obviously very knowledgeable and, most important, highly effective. If it wasn’t for him and the massage treatment from his colleague, Charlie Pollington, I probably wouldn’t still be playing golf and able to undertake other normal activities unrestricted and pain-free. On a couple of occasions, when he felt I needed different treatment, he hasn’t hesitated to refer me to a consultant or specialist qualified to help.”

Captain Adrian Thurley

Former Red Arrows Leader

“I have always been very active and fit playing squash or Real Tennis almost every day. Towards the end of 2005 I started to get some discomfort sitting down – particularly on anything hard such as a wooden chair. In January 2006 I woke one morning with complete loss of feeling in one leg. The next year was an endless series of visits to specialists, two MRI scans, spinal injections, dry needling etc – all to no avail. Eventually, the experts decided that as they could not find anything wrong there was nothing they could do! I resigned myself to discomfort sitting down for the rest of my life – not great for a long-haul airline pilot! In 2008 I was pursued (reluctantly) to go and see Alex Taylor who had apparently managed to cure long-standing, chronic problems for two of my friends. After less than five minutes of my first appointment, I realised I had never encountered anyone quite like him. He was confident from the outset that he could cure me and sure enough, some two months later, I am virtually cured. I have very slight periods of discomfort but the last traces of my condition are continuing to improve and I am totally confident it will be completely cured very shortly. My condition was not simple – it was caused by at least four different problems. Alex’s skill seems to be his highly analytical methodology combined with his ability to fix the resulting problems and at the same time explain to the patient, in plain English, what he has found, why and what he is going to do about it. In my experience, he is truly exceptional. Thanks you for everything!”

“I may have magical bookwings to help children learn to read but Alex has healing hands which transform your life, I’m so grateful to have Alex in my life.”

Professor Paul Cartledge

Professor of Greek Culture, University of Cambridge

“I’ve been going to Alex for treatment – mainly of my lower back – for well over a decade now. Without exception, I have come away from every treatment both relaxed and improved not only in body but also in spirit. Long may Alex continue his brilliant work.”

Sarah Kate Byrne

Stylist

“It is always worth the journey from London especially to see Alex at Cambridge Osteopaths. I was recommended him by a friend and am as impressed by him as she was. Professional and gets results. Cannot recommend him highly enough.”

Helen West

England Korfball Player, 2012

“I came to Alex to be treated for a longstanding bilateral calf problem that had been causing injuries and been hampering my ability to perform at the top level of my sport. After various treatments from other specialists and no long-term improvement I was instantly impressed with the way Alex not only pinpointed my exact problem, but was able to deliver immediate relief in the very first session. He was able to diagnose exactly what was causing the problem, and show me exactly what the issues were. Alex’s exceptional treatment has meant that I have been able to get back to full fitness, and compete to the best of my ability. For the first time in years I head off to a major International championship knowing that I will be fit and healthy, and more importantly not hampered by injury, it is an incredible feeling. I cannot recommend Alex strongly enough to anyone that suffers from injuries or pains, especially athletes whose needs he completely understands. He has completely transformed my ability to play my sport at International level.”
