Sayer Back and Neck Pain Clinics: Kensington

I can't say enough good words about Sayer Clinics!

During my second trimester of preganancy, I started having rib pain. It got worse as I progressed and baby was pushing against my ribs. Then I had three sudden episodes of severe costochondritis pains, particularly in the sternum, that I had to rush to hospital in the middle of the night and had problems breathing. Nurses and doctors were worried it was a heart attack, so had to perform all sorts of tests for an hour or so - good thing I was in the clear, but the experience was scary and painful. They diagnosed it as costochondritis, and could only perscribe paracetamol which I already was taking.

I was worried I would have another episode of severe chest pains. Luckily my husband found Sayer Clinic online, and we booked with Maria who is well experienced with pregnant women and costochondritis.

I'm quite shy about my body but Maria has been amazing at making me feel comfortable. She listened to my problems and targeted the exact areas on my ribs. She has been massaging each rib and helped me on some back pains I was experiencing. I felt so much better afterwards, like my chest and ribs had opened up. My husband even commented that I was standing taller too, which I didn't even realise my posture improved straight after. When I started stretching again, after Maria's massage I felt I could actually stretch properly and my muscles around my ribs weren't restraining me anymore.

I've been going almost weekly and since the first time I had a massage from Maria, my costochondritis severe chest pain episodes haven't come back! She's a life saver!

I am so happy I found Sayer Clinic and don't have to fear those terrible painful chest pains anymore. Also so thankful to Maria for helping me immensely, she feels like a great warm hearted friend. I look forward to seeing her every week.

I highly recommend Sayer Clinics for costochondritis treatment. I had a great experience with Dr. Michael and his team for costochondritis. I also had pain in upper back and shoulder areas. I am based in Finland and came for few weeks of treatment. Dr. Michael gave very good advice on postural corrections and many other day to day exercise advice. The key idea is to keep moving as much as possible. I got chiropractic and massage treatments and already started to feel better. Still on road to recovery with high hopes of completely getting out of this problem. Thanks to the Sayer Clinics team.

I recently started seeing Dr Ed Timings for my chronic lower back and coccyx pain. Within just 3 sessions I have started to see improvements in my overall posture and as a result my coccyx pain seems to be reducing. I like Ed's energy and his attitude in making patients take responsibility for their own health through exercises etc in conjunction with his treatment.

Before finding the Sayer Clinic back in November '21, I was in excruciating, continually worsening pain, with no understanding of what the source of my costochondritis was, or how I could ever fix it.
After about 9 months of treatment, despite not always being a model patient in terms of respecting the reccomendations I was given, and despite working a software engineering job that puts a lot of strain on my back and neck, I would say I'm around 80% cured: I am now pain-free on more days than not, I can do all of the things that I stopped doing because of my condition, and I can see a very near future in which my costochondritis is a thing permanently consigned to the past.
I cannot reccomend this clinic any higher, if you have costochondritis, or any other similar condition.

I have been seeing Dr Michael Durtnall for the past year for my costochondritis. I had given up hope of ever improving my symptoms as I had been stuck with them for years and sometimes was unable to move completely. I saw several other practitioners who were unable to help, but luckily then I found Michael! He is really the only expert in costochondritis and there is no way I would be where I was without his techniques! I have also had massages from Chifumi, Andra and Madalina who have all also been excellent! I still have a long road to complete recovery, but my symptoms have markedly improved! Many thanks to Michael and the team.

After waking up unable to move my neck without excruciating pain, I managed to get an appointment with Maria-Madalina the myotherapist. Look, that treatment is not for the faint hearted — but honestly she is a sorceress. She treated my neck, shoulders, back and glutes, targeting some very painful areas, and I walked out feeling like a damn Phoenix. Very strong hands, exemplary knowledge of specific techniques and muscle connections, and she was a very sweet person to boot :) All my problems are now fixed and I feel even better than before the injury. Though please note you may need to take the next day off work as there is a little recovery from the massage required. Will definitely be back next time I’m in London. Thank you Madalina 💘

The Sayer Clinic with Dr Edward Timings has cured a severe back pain (sacroiliac issues) - with brilliant patient care, a very efficient service and fair cost. It’s hard to find such treatment in London, would highly recommend. Thank you, extremely grateful 🙏🏼

I'm incredibly pleased with the high quality of support provided by Ed Timings. I've attended so far 6 sessions and noticed clear improvement in my spine in time and my back issues disappeared. What I appreciate, in addition to the actual treatment, is Dr Timings teaching me detailed insight into how my body works & exercises I can do at home to maintain progress. Finally, I appreciate Dr Timings professionalism and always felt very comfortable in the sessions as a young woman. Receptionist is lovely too!
