Client Reviews
“She is incredibly kind and accommodating, always making sure you feel comfortable during your sessions. What truly sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about getting to know you—not just your symptoms, but your lifestyle as well. By understanding the bigger picture, she tailors her approach to help you improve overall, not just in the short term. I’ve noticed a real difference since seeing her, and I’m so grateful for her expertise and support!”
— Pregnancy patient, Natalia“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“One of my antenatal group recommended Sarah after she visited her for some post natal care and so glad she did. Sarah is warm, inviting and super friendly and really helped with the sore neck I’d gone to her for. I’ve continued visiting Sarah for the everyday aches and pains that come from holding a little one most of the day. She’s also very accommodating for mums. Little ones are always welcome, there’s a box of toys in the corner and she even offers to wear them in a front pack while you’re having your treatment - that’s what I call great customer service 😂 Highly recommend going to see her if you’re struggling with any postpartum issues. Go for the osteopathy, stay for the chat ☺️”.
— Postpartum patient, Kimberley“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.”
— Pregnancy patient, Sharlene “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 absolutely adore Sarah, but rather than publishing a fan-girl sonnet, I’ll try to stick to results; at one of my last appointments, she created so much space/released so much tension in my back, that I had to adjust my rearview mirror upon leaving. My posture was dramatically different.
The daily grind is always just a little bit easier to handle when you’re under Sarah’s care.”
