Having suffered a bad back from sitting on my wallet for too many years driving a car I knew when I had a problem.
My previous practitioner was not available and other forms of back manipulation had not impressed me. A recommendation from a fellow BNI member led me to Carragh's room.
A comprehensive background was obtained following a check on my stance. Very obvious from the start that Carragh knew her stuff. I was informed I practised martial arts (Karate) purely by the stance I assumed.
Having ascertained my problem she proceeded to actively cure it. This took several sessions but cured it was with some very satisfying cracks and pops with no pain during the treatment.
I now attend on roughly a quarterly basis for a MOT on my back to ensure my previous very painful stiff and distorted back is kept under control.
I would highly recommend Carragh's Osteopathic services to anyone who has any problems with joints, muscles and bones as she is highly skilled and has given me over 3 years of excellent treatment.

Having had a sore neck for years, I went to see Carragh McAree for a treatment. Her compassionate style disguised the force she was able to wield on my cramped muscles. I walked away feeling better than I had in years. I thoroughly recommend Carragh's services to all who have a muscle ache they think no-one can do anything about. She is a miracle worker. Thank you Carragh.

When I left after a treatment by Carragh I was able to walk tall and straight. Any discomfort, pain, or lopsidedness had completely disappeared. She listens carefully, is thorough, friendly, and I am always made to feel completely relaxed. She is the most efficient and effective osteopath I have ever visited. I would completely trust her with any symptoms.

Carragh first treated my daughter at the age of 6 weeks with cranial osteopathy, as she seemed to have a slight twist in her neck from birth. It took 2 treatments to sort this out, and a side benefit was that my daughter's ribcage opened up. As she was born by elective CS, she had not experienced the massaging effect of travelling down during labour, and was not breathing very deeply, but Carragh was able to release her ribcage allowing her to breathe properly.
This was immediately apparent - in fact, it was like turning up the volume as Lakshmi went from little quiet cries to full out roars right after the treatment. Carragh has also since been able to help when Lakshmi has gone through growth spurts and become uncomfortable and tight. A classic response to treatment is a very long refreshing nap or sleep.

I cannot recommend Carragh highly enough in her treatment of my 11 month old son James.
Following a fall onto his head he was fractious, not sleeping well and lost his appetite - all three factors which were unusual for him. Carragh treated him with the utmost kindness and professionalism and he responded amazingly allowing her to gently manipulate his skull bones. I was impressed with the calmness she achieved in him. Following just the one required treatment James seemed back to normal - sleeping and eating well and with renewed bounce and vigour.
I have no hesitation recommending Carragh's expertise to any Mother needing reassurance following the various mini traumas babies and toddlers experience as they grow up.

I was treated by Lucy for extreme lower back pain. Before my visit I had trouble walking and sitting. Lucy proceeded to diagnose and treat me. I was made to feel at ease as the treatment was taking effect . After the first visit with Lucy, not only could I walk and sit with very little pain but could return to my work place. I had two more treatments with Lucy and I am now pain free which is something that my own doctor could not achieve.
I would highly recommend the Kingston & Teddington Osteopathy and would take this opportunity to thank Lucy, not only for the pain relief but for the calm and professional approach to my condition. Well Done.

I have attended many different osteopaths and chiropractors over the last 15 years. Teddington beats them all, hands down! Aside from the great treatment, you couldn't wish to meet a nicer more friendly bunch. I have been treated by Carragh, Hilary and Mark, all of whom are outstanding. My Wife who spent years looking for a great osteopath found one in Hilary.I would not hesitate in recommending the practice to anybody.

I have undergone many years of treatment on a painful shoulder condition with varying degrees of success. I have recently received treatment from Mark and the improvement in my condition has been fantastic. The range of movement has increased dramatically and the level of pain has reduced in a similar fashion. I have absolutely ho hesitation in recommending Mark to you; he is a true professional achieving excellent results.
