Very pleased. Dr Bramati is an amazing professional. She made me feel very comfortable during my treatments and explained in a very clear and gentle way all the procedures she was using and planned to use to help with my back problems. She also gave me advice in how to prevent any further damages to my posture and back.

Osteopathy Patient

I have been treated by Iona for over 12 years and have found her to be uniquely gifted in her field both academically and in practice. I completely
trust her judgement and value her expertise.

Louise

Osteopathy Patient

The treatment is fantastic. The price is fair. I have been treated here for a variety of unrelated issues over the years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
