‘“I first went to see Séane at Fulham Osteopaths 6 weeks before an ultramarathon with chronic hip and lower back pain that had been bothering me for months during running training. After just 2 sessions, the pain was pretty much gone and my whole body felt so much more mobile. After 4 sessions, my training and day-to-day mobility is so improved and the pain is gone completely - can’t believe I put up with the pain and stiffness for so long. Could not recommend Séane enough - my only wish is that I’d found her sooner!” Jasmine

“Séane was amazing with our newborn. She was patient, kind and provided really informative advice and help, along with exercises for our daughter. We couldn’t recommend her enough.” Zara

“Would highly recommend Fulham osteopaths. Have been really impressed with my experience with the wonderful Séane who has really helped me manage a lower back injury.” Gregg
