Stephen has helped me greatly with arthritic knee pain and has also helped with a previously undiagnosed digestive problem. I feel like a new person, pain has lessened greatly, food cravings have gone and I have lost weight. I would highly recommend the Oak Practice.

What sets Stephrn apart from the rest is his focus on trying to get you to the point where you no longer need him. He supports it with incredible knowledge of human body and the nervous system as well as tools and techniques that he uses. He tells you in the first session whether he can help you or not so your time and money is not wasted. If he can this is the best money you will spend.
I’ve used him on several occasions over nearly two decades with chronic conditions as well as accrue sports injuries (effects of office job and active lifestyle). Sometimes many sessions, sometimes just one or two but every time I ended up not just fixed up but also stronger,  well equipped to deal with my issue myself afterwards.
I referred many people to him over the years and their feedback had been similar.
He just gets the job done.

Stephen is not just an excellent clinician, he's also a wonderful human being who really cares about his patients.  Working with his team at Perfect Balance, the issues I sought help with have gone and I feel better all round.  I intend to keep working with him to ensure I stay active and healthy.

Stephen was highly recommended to us by a close friend, and we are incredibly grateful for the referral. Our son has a severe and complex language and communication disorder, along with several other symptoms. Over the past 18 years, we've worked with a variety of therapists from all over the world, but our experience with Stephen has been truly exceptional.

We've been working with him for the past 9 months, seeing him weekly, and the progress we've seen has been remarkable. Stephen’s extensive knowledge across multiple disciplines allows him to treat the body as a whole, addressing not just one issue but all interconnected factors. His professionalism, combined with his genuine kindness and understanding, has made a significant difference in our son’s development.

Seeing the incredible progress Stephen has made with our son, I decided to seek his help for my own health concerns. I’m truly amazed by his ability to pinpoint the root causes of issues that often show up in unexpected areas of the body. In just three sessions, Stephen has successfully treated a bladder-related condition, resolved a chronic neck problem, and alleviated a long-standing back issue. Additionally, he’s provided valuable advice on the right supplements and dosages.

Before, I would visit different therapists and doctors depending on my symptoms, but now, I simply turn to Stephen for all my health needs. His expertise and holistic approach have made a huge difference in both our son’s and my own health.

We wholeheartedly recommend Stephen to anyone seeking expert care. His approach is thorough, compassionate, and effective.

I first met Stephen in 2018 for a shoulder injury. I had tried everything and seen so many people, but nothing seemed to work. And then came Stephen. With his incredible expertise and almost magical ability to understand what the body needs, he immediately diagnosed the problem and after surgery worked with me to make a full recovery. To this day I’ve never had any issues come back.
Since then I’ve gone on to have a few injuries and health issues that every time he nails.

Stephen doesn’t just treat the symptoms he uncovers the root causes and his knowledge, skill, and commitment to healing people are second to none.
I honestly don’t know where I’d be without Stephen and I often tell him he’s saved my life. There are no words that could fully capture my gratitude for what he has done for me. If you’re lucky enough to work with Stephen, you’ll understand why I call him "the wizard."
Thank you, Stephen, you really are the BEST.

As a mother of a 14 year old boy, that had been through multiple private referrals, medical specialists, dermatologists, 15 months of no school, no football, no ‘life as we knew it’, finding Stephen, and ‘trusting the process’ the last 9 months has allowed us to return to the ‘normal’ (well, as normal as a family of 5 can be).

Stephen was recommended through a friend of the family, and although we were initially very sceptical, and exasperated by having to explain the last 15 months of ‘life’ we decided to go for an initial consultation. My son was equally very nervous of a different approach to treatment, but trusted us, as his parents, to give it a go! Stephen not only treated our son at each appointment, but it felt like he helped me through whatever I was going through emotionally too!

Stephen is extremely supportive, whilst being firm, empathetic and overall became our ‘rock!’ You have to ‘trust’ the process - and although we don’t take anything for granted - I do feel we are now coming out the other side ! Back to football 3 times a week, basketball, social life back - life is the best it has been for what feels like years. I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough … so a thank you, from us all!

I was highly recommended to make an appointment with Stephen by a friend who had been to Stephen and had great results.
I had recurring neck issues and after one appointment with Stephen I walked out of the practice with no pain. I had seen physios etc before with temporary fixes, Stephen immediately isolated the problem and corrected it.
I can’t recommend Stephen enough, I feel the treatment I received was exceptional and very successful.

Having a few problems with muscular aches and pains, my wife suggested I go to Stephen, who had worked wonders on her own 'iffy knee. I'm glad I did - he uncovered a string of issues which happily are now no more, and did it in a highly professional and very empathic way. Moreover , he took the time to explain what was wrong, what he was doing and why. As a consequence, I can now get back to regular exercise on the back of the physio he suggested and the nutritional advice he gave. Explaining at the outset in as much detail as possible what the issues are, and including even minor details allows him to approach diagnosis and treatment in depth and with insight. Thank you!

I was originally introduced to Stephen by my friend I have received treatment from him before. This time I have had problems with my neck and have experienced quite debilitating pain.It was very surprising to me my neck was not the root of the problem. Stephen has fully assessed and treated my  problem with great skill. He is a very kind, knowledgeable and talented man. I have had two treatments and now feel so much better. My back and neck are more relaxed and I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen to anyone . His skills and knowledge about the way the body works are amazing. Thank you very much for all of your help  Stephen.

I was recommended to see Stephen by a family member who had received treatment which has resolved a significant health issue for him. I had previously seen two physiotherapists for my sudden onset of severe back issues with no success. Stephen not only worked on my back (to prevent me from having to have spinal surgery), but he also looked at my body from a holistic sense and through our discussions Stephen has helped me to reflect on my lifestyle including exercise and nutrition. He solved other health issues that I have been struggling with for years and was told by various consultants they there was nothing that could be done. Stephen has helped me to resolve chronic menstrual pain which has been life changing for me. Throughout the process Stephen prescribed various supplements which made a big difference to my general health which I now no longer need to take. He is currently helping me to manage migraines and thanks to Stephen I feel much more confident about my health and wellbeing. Stephen has also seen two of my other family members and completely resolved their health issues. From being exhausted and in severe pain just standing up, I am now able to exercise regularly pain-free and feel more in control of managing my health.
