“I highly recommend Barbara Paumelle for newborn osteopathy treatments. I went to see her for my 2,5 months old baby who has suffered from weeks of relentless colic which resulted in him being overly stiff, in pain, and unable to sleep on his back. Things improved radically after our first consult, and after the third I can say that my newborn is a happy relaxed chap comfortably lying and sleeping on his back. Barbara is not only knowledgeable but extremely gentle with her little patients. The relief provided must have been instant given the big smiles my baby was giving her throughout the treatments.”

“Awesome experience with Barbara who did a full body check of my 4 month old baby. I came in with some specific concerns like neck mobility and flat spot but she did a full assessment and corrected a couple of things I hadn’t noticed. She was extremely gentle with him and the hour consultation flew by. Highly recommend everyone have their babies checked up at some point if they can.’

“I had never been to an osteopath before, so I was unsure of what to expect. Barbara’s warm, professional manner put me at ease immediately. In diagnosing my problem, I was impressed with her questioning, which was specific and searching. This enabled me to answer with as much helpful information as possible. Barbara made notes as our session progressed. I found this reassuring because she took my problem seriously and future visits could be more effective. Barbara gave very clear instructions regarding the movements she needed me to do and then explained that given my information and her exploratory work my femoral nerve was likely to be inflamed. Her hypothesis made sense to me and after manually treating my back she showed me exercises to do to help it recover and to relieve my discomfort. I was very pleased to receive an email from Barbara just hours after my consultation listing the exercises, which I have done daily, and am pleased to say they have eased my discomfort. Barbara’s professional knowledge has provided me with a better understanding of my body, it’s needs, and how I can help it. I appreciate her work a great deal.”

“I wanted to pass on my thanks and gratitude to Barbara who I’ve seen a few times now. She’s absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and I always leave feeling so much better, and equipped with follow up stretches to do at home in between appointments. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you!”

“…as part of my rehabilitation after sustaining 3 fractures of my tibial plateau and 2 fractures of my ankle. I was having difficulty getting the bending back in my knee. I was very lucky to have Barbara as my treatment provider. She did a thorough examination and identified areas that needed attention. She explained everything well and the treatment was amazing. She mobilized my patella, massaged scar tissue and manipulated my knee which gave me more bending. She was always checking in with me to ensure the pain level was tolerable. I was sent away with exercises to do….”
