Shiatsu – Portsmouth

Today I had my first ever treatment of shiatsu Paul was vey through and explained every thing to me before and during the appointment He put me at ease And pinpointed the things that are causing me both physical and mental problems I felt enlightened after and much more in tune with myself Also my body felt more relaxed I have not felt like this for a long time I highly recommend Paul And have already booked my next appointment

Paul is incredible; I started to have sessions with him around 6 years ago when my then employer provided it as part of the well being package. On day one Paul asked me what ailments I suffered and what I would like him to concentrate on. At the time I had just recovered from a broken pelvis and this is one of the things that he centred my care as well as my left shoulder/neck as this has always been where I have carried my stress. I have to say the results are always amazing. Sometimes I have constant nerve pain in my pelvis, lower back etc... and a one hour session with Paul always sorts this out. Paul also has a very in depth knowledge of the human anatomy and always makes sure he explains the link between the pain you are suffering in relation to your internal organs and the relevance of the area he is treating so it gives you a really clear picture of how it works. He has also given me a number of tricks to use in his absence to ensure my issues are manageable. Paul also happens to be one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet; He is presentable, very punctual and a general pleasure to deal with. I have recommended Paul's services to a number of friends that have all experienced the same and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services. Finally, if you are suffering with something that Paul does not feel Shiatsu would benefit he will be honest and tell you. Keep up the good work Paul.

Paul is a genius! I had suffered from low back pain for more years than I like to remember, sometimes it completely immobilized me. I had been to osteopaths and chiropractors with very little success. Paul was able to get me moving comfortably in very little time and within a few weeks had completely removed the pain. He gave me simple exercises to help strengthen my back and stop the muscles contracting. I am happy to say I have had no significant recurrences since he treated me. Paul has also stopped a bout of sciatica in its tracks with only one treatment. I cannot recommend him highly enough. A sweet, personable and incredibly skilled man.

I went to see Paul with a certain amount of scepticism about alternative medicine – or health treatments - as I am a Science teacher. I have muscular dystrophy which effects my ability to walk easily. Having regular shiatsu treatments from Paul is improving my mobility and I believe that continuing having treatments will give me greater mobility for longer, despite my condition possibly deteriorating in the long term. Paul’s sense of humour puts me at my ease. He gently assesses my total mind and body situation using that humour. Paul took – and continues to take - case notes with meticulous detail – he was very careful as he had never worked with my condition before. His approach is very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I have been a regular visitor to The Stubbington Natural Health Clinic for a number of years for Osteopathy, and Acupuncture for chronic back pain, sciatic pain and neck pain. I have had back and neck surgery to alleviate the pain that I suffered. I had two disc replacements in my neck in 2012. The surgery eased my pain emmensely but i was left with chronic neuralgic pain on the left hand side of my face, behind my right eye, and a stabbing pain in my left shoulder. I have been on medication since to relieve the pain. Whilst waiting in the waiting room, at the clinic approximately five weeks ago I saw an article about Shiatsu, and how it could treat migraine sufferers. I had not heard of Shiatsu but as i had previously tried medication, and alternative treatments to ease my neuralgia i decided to book an appointment with Paul Bridle the Shiatsu practitioner. What can i say he is a genius. I left my details at the reception. Paul contacted me the same evening and i discussed my symptoms with him. I had neuralgic pain during my visit that i marked as a 7 on a scale of 1 t 10 . 10 being the highest. I was a little apprehensive when during my first appointment, but i had no reason to be be. Paul put me at ease straight away. He made comprehensive notes of my symptoms, and explained how he would treat me. The whole experience was very relaxing that was helped by Paul's sense of humour. After my first treatment for the first time in as long as i can remember I had minimal pain in the right hand side of my face. a 2 on the scale. A eureka moment and no more medication. I have had two further treatments, and my neuralgic pain as i type this e mail is 0 on the scale. I will continue to visit Paul for my shoulder, eye, and sciatic pain, as i have the complete confidence that he will alleviate me of the pain that has dragged me down for many years. I would recommend that anyone suffering from chronic pain visits Paul at one of his clinics. You cannot put a cost on alleviating chronic pain. I can now sleep at night MT
