Bartlett or Obama? Star Wars or Star Trek? Coke or Pepsi? Chiro or Osteo? These are just some of the lifelong questions that divide people. Haters are gonna hate. In the words of T-Swift you just have to shake it off. And shake it off is exactly what I do when I visit here. Any tension, stiffness, anxiety, stress — gone. Simoni is a very gentle and considered practitioner. Previous osteopaths that I have consulted with have included the«crack» techniques(not their official term but you know what I mean) in their treatments, however, Simoni doesn’t. It’s only after not having these included in my treatments that I realise I wasn’t a fan and they didn’t really make an overall difference to the relief I feel post-treatment. Each sessions starts with a debrief of how you felt after your last treatment and how things are tracking at that moment. Her treatment style is calming and I’ve deliberately started setting appointments as late in the afternoon as possible as post-treatment you can feel very sleepy, maybe a little out of sorts and ready for a giant nap. Next day, you’re back to normal and feeling ready to take on the world. And unlike other practitioners, you’ll generally have three quite close together treatments with Simoni before deciding on a maintenance plan for what ails you. She isn’t about not fixing the issue so you’ll keep coming back. Rather fixing the issue so that you only have to come back for maintenance. Osteo has been such a core discovery in managing a degenerative back condition and Simoni’s treatments have been a godsend for maintaining it all.
