Melanie has the perfect mix of professionalism and personality and puts you completely at ease whilst getting to the root of the problem.

During my initial consultation I was impressed with Melanie's thorough approach and the information she required to assess not only my injury, but also how it may have arisen and possibly be prevented from reoccurring in the future. Through asking me specific questions and noting my reactions to some simple stretches she was literally able to pinpoint my problem and then, through gentle manipulation, give me immediate and long term relief. After just three sessions I was able to comfortably swing a golf club again.

She truly has 'magic hands'!

Both my husband and I have seen Melanie Rowland on several different occasions regarding our back problems and we can both say that each time she has worked wonders. She takes the time to listen and understand the problem before working her magic to achieve the best results. We would not even consider going to anybody else. We cannot praise her enough.

Mrs Pentland, Newton Aycliffe.

Having suffered from knee pain for a number of years, I had tried different forms of pain management such as physiotherapy and medication. Nothing seemed to relieve the pain I was in and I was informed by my consultant that my only option, to deal with my issues long term, was surgery. Having two young children and considering the length of recovery time following surgery, this was just not a viable option for me. Having scoured the internet for ideas and other peoples experiences of knee pain management I decided to try osteopathy. I contacted Melanie Rowland by email for an idea as to whether she may be able to help. Melanie suggested I visit her for a consultation. After only two sessions with Melanie I am now completely pain free, something I have not experienced for many years. The affect this has had on my life is immeasurable, as I am now able to do the things that I previously found too painful. My knee problems are a skeletal issue and so although I may not be cured, I am confident that should the pain recur Melanie will be able to help again.

Extract - "This letter is to confirm that I have worked with Melanie Rowland for several years through which time she provided the Osteopathy service to the Electrolux cooker manufacturing facility.

The factory employed approximately 600 personnel in a wide range of disciplines and Melanie was responsible for providing the full osteopathy service for this workforce. This included giving advice and treatment to employees, liaison with occupational health professionals and management on osteopathy issues and participation in occupational health initiatives.

During the time of Electrolux association with Melanie, we were extremely successful in reducing work related absence. This was due in no small part to Melanie's support in this area and I know that her work was much appreciated by the employees with whom she came into contact. Melanie is extremely knowledgeable on osteopathy issues and is also highly professional.

In summary, in providing the Osteopathy service to Electrolux, I always found Melanie to be extremely professional, capable and conscientious and would have no hesitation i recommending her to any future prospective employer/customer."

Testimonial - Kevin Ireson

I have seen a few different people to help with my back pain, but I felt it was only Melanie that really got to the core of the problem. Melanie really takes the time to understand the problem and her treatment has worked wonders. I do a lot of travelling and sitting with work, I can now work pain free thanks to Melanie.

Melanie listens very well to the problems that I have, allowing her to make good and holistic decisions about how to treat me,
When having to use manipulation Melanie is very gentle with all the techniques she employs, this in turn, helps so much to relax the patient.
Melanie has worked very hard with me to resolve my problems quicker than expected.

Testimonial - Judith Cormack

After suffering not inconsiderable pain over a period of 20 months  with a frozen shoulder I contacted Melanie Rowland in May 2009 for a consultation.

Initially I was referred to the Physiotherapy  Department at Bishop Auckland General Hospital after developing terrible pain in my right shoulder.  At first I  had physio on a weekly basis which did not alleviate the pain .  I was then given cortisone injections .  When I had the maximum permitted of the cortisone I was then offered, and took, acupuncture.  This started off on the right shoulder and then progressed down the arm and eventually all the way from the wrist to back of neck, again it worked at first but then not at all. The appointments were then every 3 weeks as it became evident nothing was working long term.

I had an arthroscopy on my right knee in August 2008 and at the same time the surgeon gave me manipulation under anaesthetic for the shoulder, along with a large dose of cortisone.  This worked perfectly , with no pain and free movement of the arm, for approx 8 weeks the pain then returned just as severe.  I was referred again to the Physio who said that there was nothing more that could be done.

7 months later I contacted Melanie Rowland in May 2009 for a consult, after reading about her work in a local newspaper.  After the first appointment I attended on a weekly/2 weekly basis for 6 months during which time  the pain was alleviated , movement greatly increased  and,  important to me,  I was managing uninterrupted sleep for up to 6 hours.  Being able to move the arm, look over my right shoulder  and generally move it freely is wonderful.  

Had I known about osteopathy and it’s results I would have chosen this treatment  before anything else I endured in the quest for pain relief and freedom of movement.

I would certainly recommend Melanie and her osteopathic  skills.
