Posted on Sara Hughes15/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a Mortons Neuroma in my foot for a couple of years. Earlier this year, the pain became really intense such that I was in discomfort for most of the time.I tried a cortisone injection but it did nothing to relieve the pain. My foot surgeon said the only option was to have it surgically removed.It was over 10mm in size. As I have family commitments this summer, surgery was not possible until the Autumn. I have seen Stephen Makinde for various ailments over the years so I made an appointment with him to see whether there was anything he could do to ease the pain in the short-term until surgery. Stephen treated me over a couple of months and also advised various stretches, shoe adaptations and strapping/cushioning.The difference has been incredible. I can now walk barefoot for the first time in a very long time and can walk long distances without pain. I am extremely optimistic that if I keep up the practices Stephen has advised, I will not need any surgery at all. I am even able to wear heels comfortably again on occasions. I cannot thank Stephen enough and would urge others to at the very least try this before going down the surgical route.Posted on Rikki and Roshni Jones15/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen was recommended to me after years of physio and steroid injections for de Quervain (both wrists) and shoulder pain caused by a trapped nerve, with only temporary relief. He took a completely holistic approach, focusing on underlying causes rather than just symptoms. At first I was unsure about focusing on diet and supplements, but trusting the process really paid off. Alongside treatment and exercises, I gradually became pain free — and I’ve now been free of pain for several months without needing more steroid injections. I only wish I’d known him sooner. Highly recommend Stephen to anyone dealing with chronic pain or recurring injuries.Posted on Julia CORR24/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephan was recommended to me and did not disappoint. I had some aches and pains (age 75) He treated body as a whole And provided excellent treatment. Results very good. He listens and has a very caring and kind nature.Posted on Paula Bobbett12/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen is an incredible osteopath. Seven years ago, I hurt my back stepping off a kerb. Very innocuous at the time but the back got progressively worse until I could not stand for more than 20 seconds without being in a huge amount of pain. Over two years, I’d tried physio, other osteopaths and steroid injections. Eventually, I saw an orthopaedic surgeon who recommended I have some of my spine removed and also told me I would never run again. Stephen was my last chance saloon to avoid surgery. He had me back running within 6 weeks. He was the only person I met who asked how I injured myself and diagnosed a muscle that was in spasm. Fast forward to today and I have completed my first half-marathon in 8 years. Honestly, this would not have been possible without the magic of Stephen. I would recommend others on their last chances, to take this step! His treatment has been life-changing for me and I have got back to doing something I love.Posted on Bhuja20/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Stephen has been a great experience. I came in with fluctuating testosterone levels, including periods of low free testosterone, and higher body fat than I wanted. Since working together, I’ve seen a clear improvement in both, along with more stable energy, better overall wellbeing, and a noticeable drop in body fat. What’s stood out most is how sustainable everything feels, not a quick fix, but consistent progress that actually sticks. Would definitely recommendPosted on Dave Holmes17/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited Stephen as had been having abdominal pain after hernia surgery last year He identified some issues & explained about possible nerve problems After just a few sessions with him the pain improved significantly Would highly recommend!Posted on Isabelle M13/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The arch of my foot had gradually been collapsing over the past five years, leaving me in a lot of pain and facing the prospect of a complicated foot operation. As a result, my whole body felt unbalanced. I also injured my knee, and walking became very difficult. I was recommended to see Stephen, and thanks to his thorough, holistic approach—coupled with natural remedies and exercise—I am now pain-free and no longer need an operation. I am very grateful for his fantastic work, professionalism, and friendliness, and I could not recommend him more highly.Posted on Ria Ferguson07/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen helped me with a shoulder problem from tennis, but what stood out most was that he looked at my whole body, not just the injury. He identified and treated smaller issues I wasn’t even aware of, including things that may have been contributing to inflammation. He also worked out why I had been clenching my teeth, and since seeing him, that has stopped. His techniques were unlike anything I’d experienced before, and I found it fascinating to learn how connected the nervous system is to so much of what we experience in the body. I also really valued his advice on simple, clean supplements he recommends, which supported the work we were doing in a very practical way. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone, not just those with an injury. His work goes far beyond pain relief and has been hugely valuable for my overall wellbeing.Posted on Nolan Giblen03/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. To put it simply, visiting Stephen has been a life changing experience. Prior to seeing Stephen about my complaint I had seen multiple specialists who had failed to correctly diagnose my condition over a five year period. Steven’s holistic approach and focus on identifying the root cause rather than simply alleviating the symptoms, has meant that I have been fortunate enough to have recovered with a dramatic improvement in my wellbeing and a hugely positive impact on family life. I cannot recommend or thank Stephen highly enough.Posted on Katie Price03/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 19-year-old son was suffering from terrible acne and, despite being on a course of antibiotics, his skin showed no improvement. We decided to visit Stephen at The Oak Practice, and I’m so glad we did. Stephen quickly identified that a parasite was the root cause of the acne — something we would never have considered. He prescribed a course of herbal treatment, and within just a few weeks we saw a significant improvement in my son’s skin. The difference has been incredible. I truly can’t thank Stephen enough. He is warm, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable at what he does. We felt listened to and supported throughout the whole process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stephen at The Oak Practice.Load more
