Client Reviews
“Sarah is awesome! Went to Chiro to solve my back problems but after 2months still felt just a bit better so decided to look for alternative and found Sarah Boughtwood Osteopath. Life changing just after 3 sessions i really felt a big difference but back pain slowly disappeared. Highly recommend!”
— General patient, Vince“I went to see Sarah 3 months postpartum with back and shoulder ache that comes from carrying a little one around. I came away feeling like a whole new person and can’t believe I didn’t go sooner! Highly recommend Sarah for her amazing technique, professionalism and chat.
— Postpartum patient, Ebony“I was referred to Sarah by my midwife after experiencing a lot of body pain, especially pelvic girdle pain. She was amazing! Super gentle, really listened, and knew exactly how to help. Each session made a noticeable difference — I felt so much more comfortable and could actually move around. I’d highly recommend her to any mums-to-be who need some relief and extra care during pregnancy.”
