What Our Patients Say.... 

5 * - I have been coming to see Andy for a while now and I am very happy with all he has done for me.  Andy is a very nice person and will always explain what he is doing and knowledgeable. Moyra Overall May 2023

Over the past three years I have tried every treatment I could find to cure my incredibly painful condition Plantar Fasciitis.  In the past after much shorter periods of time it got better but this time, nothing helped at all. 

I tried acupuncture, shockwave and shortwave therapy, taping, steroid injection under general anaesthetic, different exercises and none of it worked. 

It was beginning to really impact on my life and main hobby walking the dogs and hiking. 

I read an article about a similar person who had tried everything like me but finally found relief and help by having sessions of sports physio.   I decided to find a clinic near me that did this and started sessions with Andy (GoSC Registered Osteopath). 

The first few sessions nothing really changed but gradually there was a small improvement, and now a huge improvement by continued treatment and very simple exercises that stretch out the whole foot. I cannot thank Andy enough for giving me my walking life back.   Andy is extremely professional, explains what he is doing and very thorough in making sure he has worked on all areas of the foot to enable maximum healing. 

I cannot recommend Andy highly enough and anyone suffering from Plantar Fasciitis should book an appointment with him. Tracey Matthews Nov 2022

I’m always incredibly thankful for the skills of you three osteopaths. It makes me feel like you work magic with those hands! I also appreciate the self help exercises you give so nothing is left to chance, not that I’m necessarily eager to follow through but certainly recognise their value!  Thank you for this, one and all!  Elaine Crocker March 2021

"No need for a Doctors referral, Vicki Aldridge can carefully source the problem and gently achieve a solution without pressure to make future appointments."  Carol Ann Wylde 14.10.2019

"I have been seeing Vicki for a number of years. I am so lucky that she always helps ease my pain and discomfort. I suffer with osteoarthritis and am unfortunate to suffer with my neck and lower back.

Vicki makes me feel at ease all the time and advises how to ease the discomfort so I can carry on with my everyday life.

I don’t think anything could be improved, the service runs well and I have always been able to get an appointment when I need it".  Corinna Robinson 16.10.2019

"My therapist is Vicki Aldridge.  Although I come in pain, Vicki immediately puts my mind at rest.  She dealt with my problem with the usual expertise.  This is my third visit and I believe possibly my last.    Comments on the practice…..Cannot improve as far as I am concerned."  Brian Houghton 20.11.2019

"I am sure I have benefitted from the treatment Vicki has given me for some time.  She has also given me good advice in how I go about my day to day activities and the kind of exercises I need.  She is careful and considerate."  Anonymous 20.11.2019

"Andrew McGowan is a miracle worker! Excellent service and great advice that really has helped me to maintain and strengthen my back. Andrew is very engaging and he really does know what he's doing. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bishops Stortford Osteopathy & Physiotherapy and their receptionists are also lovely!" Mark Watts Nov 2019

"I would highly recommend this practice it offers a friendly and professional service with affective results. I was treated with cranial osteopathy by Celia and Vicki for neuralgia. After just a few sessions pain relief and discomfort dissipated and became a lot more manageable without the use of tablets" Jacqueline Read Nov 2019

"Saw Andrew, very good, in the space of 45 mins diagnosed and sorted a painful soft tissue problem. I was able to happily do a 5km run the next morning. Gave me links on U Tube for some very useful stretches to help prevent re-occurrence." Andrew Sharratt  Nov 2019

"After having a serious motorbike accident and having treatment from other clinics that did not help with my pain, I turned to Andrew McGowan who I can say has sorted out all of my problems and is very knowledgeable and would highly recommend"  Ben Curtis 13.12.19.
