Align Body Clinic Reviews

Jay was very helpful and professional in understanding and treating my problem. Very nice bloke too. Highly recommend.

Well done and thank you for a great job done. I am indeed now pain free. Thank you Jay.

I went to see Jay to get help with persistent knee pain. The assessment and treatment were superb and after four sessions (and a lot of homework exercises!) I'm running pain-free again. Highly recommended.

I came to Jay Ruddock with chronic pain and mobility issues in both shoulders. This was a problem I had had for several years, and it was clear there was not going to be a quick fix. I signed up to a competitively-priced care-plan and saw Jay on a regular basis for three months.

Jay is a good communicator. He identified in plain English what was causing the pain and what needed to be done to relieve it. With a combination of treatment and a straightforward exercise programme, Jay succeeded in bringing significant improvements to my shoulders.

Furthermore, his clear diagnosis and advice has greatly improved my self-awareness, and enabled me to manage my posture and body alignment much more effectively than I was before. So I m still reaping the benefits of his skill and expertise, long after the treatment programme has come to an end.

All in all a value-for-money service that has done me the world of good.

Thank you.

I have had thigh pain for the past year or so which the doctor said was probably linked to my lower back. Since following the lower back exercises on the website under the resources section it has now all but disappeared! Random I know; but just wanted to say thanks! :)

I have been seeing jay for a few months now for back pain, and he couldn t be more helpful. Provides lots of information and has a very pragmatic approach to the healing process. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic professional service, cannot recommend highly enough.

I found my experience with Jay at Align Body Clinic really helpful - I was made to feel at ease straight away, and the treatment and exercises have had a really positive impact on my day to day life. Really recommend if you're looking for an osteopath in Bath.

I have used ABC twice in the last 2 years covering both Jay and Sheena.

Sheena was the very first osteopath I had ever been to. Sheena is comforting and understanding about the problem. She goes in depth to understand where the issue possibly started and of course the lifestyle you lead to cover every option.

I had Osteopathy sessions with Sheena for a number of months as my job with driving was giving me a harder time to shake off the injury to my back. Sheena was very tough on the legs and thighs but not too hard which would stop you from carrying on. Easy to have a good chat to and of course a laugh & jokes along the way.

I had a break after Sheena did some excellent work; which freed me up to carry on my daily duties at work.

2nd is Jay - unfortunately for me the same problem but a little more severe.
Jay like Sheena was very thorough into the background of the issue.
Jay is very approachable and understanding of general issues.
Jay recently has got me back to where I need to be after another long few months working hard.

Jay and Sheena are very professional and I would highly recommend this service to anyone!

Jay really helped with my painful neck without forcing anything. He has a very friendly and professional manner.

I attend the Align Body Clinic for an ongoing issue and the treatment is thoroughly professional and of a very high standard. Sheena provides a kind and overall, holistic approach and the environment is relaxing and calm. The location is fantastic and the communication and booking system is excellent. Highly recommend this practice.

Jay is very thorough & has really helped with all my sports related injuries. Nothing is too much trouble, couldn't recommend highly enough..

Genuine review: I had an amazing experience with Align Body Clinic. I had tweaked my back badly and told Sheena I needed to be 'sorted' so that I could go on a kitesurf holiday. She proceeded to investigate and diagnosed about 3 issues with my back / spine etc. and within the session had fixed all of them. I was given some exercises to do (but didn't do them obviously!) and I had no problems on my kitesurf holiday. The amazing thing was at the end of the session she said, "ok, you're all sorted. I shouldn't need to see you again!" (And she was right.) Everywhere else I've been they immediately try and book you in again for a 'follow-up' session.
Also, after falling off my mountain bike this week, I phoned up and Jay gave me some excellent comprehensive help and advice over the phone (due to COVID-19) for FREE!
I thoroughly recommend the clinic to all my friends.

The treatment I received from Jay at Align Body Clinic has been absolutely first class. I signed up for a consultation after a recommendation from my partner - she was fed up with my complaining and told me to do something about it!

Over the course of a few months, Jay has sorted out the discomfort and pain I had in my neck and shoulders. I had forgotten what normal was, so although I could cope with it before, I feel so much better now. Jay has also taught me how to manage the strength imbalances in my body, so I can now thank him for getting me more active as well!

Jay is a fantastic osteopath and a lovely bloke with a cracking sense of humour. I'd recommend his clinic to anyone and, although I hope I won't have to, I'd have no hesitations returning for more treatment if needed.

Was very nervous about visiting the new "post COVID" clinic but Jay and Sheena have made it as easy as possible for patients to have treatment as safely as they can and without extra stress. It is very clear what is expected both from the patient and the clinic and although I was very nervous, I was at ease very quickly into my appointment. I can now move again! Thank you both.

Align is a wonderful practice, they have helped me tremendously.

Jay is fantastic. He quickly identified my symptom, and clarified what are the causes and solutions. He sent me a lot of useful exercises. and he has an amazing way of healing methods. If i have a chance to go to Bath again, I will definitely have some follow ups with him. Highly recommend!

I visited Sheena & Jay after suffering a knee injury and being told by the hospital that it was arthritis. Sheena spotted straight away it was a hamstring injury and 2 sessions with both Sheena and Jay sorted it. Now fully recovered. Highly recommended

Jay Ruddock of Align Body Clinic is without doubt one of the finest Osteopaths in the south west. I have no hesitation in having my own bodywork, or that of my clients, done by Jay. Always a quality response to treatment, due to Jay's expertise. Any pain...see Jay.

I have been seeing Jay for a year now. Previously I used to have recurring back problems that would stop me exercising for months at a time and caused me a lot of discomfort day to day. Since seeing Jay regularly a couple of times a month this has stopped and I'm now able to exercise with more intensity than before without fear of injury. In fact I'm stronger and fitter than I've ever been and feel great! Highly recommend Align Body Clinic, just understand some issues require regular attention and one session might not be enough to solve the problem entirely.

Excellent service and support. Easy to coordinate appointments, thorough treatment and Jay is a very engaging Osteopath!

Jay identified my issues quickly and patiently worked them out. I'd highly recommend Align to people with any aches and pains in their bones! I have seen both Jay and Sheena, both are very professional and lovely people.

I can t recommend Jay at Align highly enough. When i first saw Jay i had a knee/hip issue, which gave me acute pain when running anything more than a few metres. I was one week away from a half marathon, so not in a good place! I had two sessions that week with Jay, which completely cured the issue, and i ran the half marathon completely free pain. It was an absolutely amazing turnaround, and such a relief after months of training. I will be doing some follow up work with Jay to work on any underlying issues that led to the injury. I would highly recommend Align Body Clinic to anyone in need of help!

Excellent Service. Professional and clear advice. Comfortable waiting area.

The service is professional and first class in all aspects - from booking,
consultations and advice.
There is a calm atmosphere, and a genuine interest in each client.
Would recommend 100%.

Brilliant in depth treatment which has produced fantastic results. Strongly recommend.

Jay is knowledgeable, professional and a good listener. I went to see him after having strained my back moving two very large garden pots and overdoing it in yoga. I could hardly move from the pain in my lower back. Jay explained clearly where the strain was, made some corrections and gave me some exercises to do. I started feeling better and had more movement immediately. I can highly recommend him.

I ve been to see Jay with various desk job and exercise-induced issues around 10-15 times over the past two or three years. He s very professional, warm, friendly and gives excellent treatment and advice.

I saw him most recently at the start of July 2020 as Covid lockdown restrictions were being eased. Both he and his treatment room were well-kitted out in PPE, and he rang me a couple of days before our appointment to ask me about any possible exposure to Covid, whether I d had any symptoms, and whether I lived with anybody who needed shielding. I was told (like all other patients) that I would need to wear a face mask and gloves to clinic and I was asked to wash my hands when I entered the building.

For anyone that has concerns about Covid that are currently preventing them seeking osteopathy treatment: I d say that Jay is doing all he can to minimise both his and his patients exposure, including enhanced hygiene procedures and spacing out appointments to avoid patients coming into contact with each other. I had slight concerns about going for treatment myself but, having seen the measures that Jay has taken and how seriously he is managing the risk of exposure, I didn t hesitate to book a follow-up appointment in a couple of weeks time.

I came to Sheena because I had been having chronic knee pain. I enjoy cycling and running but was experiencing pain and was less able to go out and enjoy these sports. After a few treatments I am well on the road to recovery. The atmosphere at the clinic is very nice and Sheena is always very kind and patient. She explains the reasons why I have pain and the treatments she is giving me and how they will help. Would recommend to anyone who is having problems, great experience.

Sheena did a deep tissue massage on me this morning.The absolute best I have ever had
I believe it was si good as she also used her other modility with it
I'm going to book on s regular basis for myself and for my husband
Thank you so much feeling amazing

I went to see Jay with neck and back pain and after 4 sessions and home exercises I feel so much better. He has offered more long term advice and made me a lot more aware of my posture and alignment. Highly recommended!

Having seen both Jay and Sheena for one off sporting injuries to my back as well as longer term issues, I can say that this is the most effective treatment I have received. Each time I have felt better after just one appointment due to the holistic approach taken. The clinic is in a convenient location and is competitively priced. Detailed explanations of the problem and exercises have given me the knowledge to continue recovery and hopefully prevent future problems. Would definitely recommend if you are in the Bath area!

After a physio didn t help the clinic helped me to get back to fully moving, gymming and running really well!

Align Body Clinic provided me with an excellent service, I would thoroughly recommend them.

Jay has helped me understand and support a number of niggles through treatment and exercises. I have progressed really well and continue to do so. I would definitely recommend to friends.

The treatment I received from Jay was superb and so incredibly helpful. I felt progress from one session to the next, and felt confident in my recovery. I'm a million times happier/better in both myself and the condition of my body, and I'm looking forward to getting back into my sport off the back of the treatment. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thank you for all the help!

Jay is amazing ! He was recommended to me as a very good Osteopath in central Bath to go and see about my long term neck problem and I am really pleased I have !

I was sceptical at first having had this problem for 10 years as I've seen various Physiotherapists and Chiropractors over the years who could alleviate the pain at the time but then the pain would soon return. I also felt in the dark about what the actual problem was and how I could help myself.

Jay is the only practitioner I've seen to adopt an holistic approach to address the root cause of the problem and then actually explain and demonstrate his diagnosis and treatment plan.

I finally know exactly what is wrong with me which is not just a neck problem, but also a problem which actually starts in my lower back. I've now got a treatment plan in place to not only eliminate the current pain but also to address the root cause of the problem to stop it happening in the future.

Jay has also given me ideas and exercises of how I can help myself and I've now enrolled in a Pilates class which will help me on-going.

I would definatley recommend him to anyone :-)

My back problem has resolved with 2 visits and some exercises to do at home,very pleased.

Jay is very knowledgeable with sports injuries and listens to you. He can work with you to identify a problem. As well as helping you in sessions he gives you work to do at home to continue improvement too. He has been brilliant while helping me to build up my running to marathon distance after a bad knee injury had previously stopped me running at all.

The booking system is very efficient as are the appointment reminders and communication emails so keeping in touch is really easy. Jay assessed the damage I had done quickly and efficiently and was very reassuring about how soon I would get back to running which was comforting to hear. He managed to relieve my pain significantly after the first visit and the exercises he sent over really helped my progress. As a runner himself he totally understood how important it was for me to get back to running as soon as I could and he was very good at setting thresholds I could work with. Much appreciated. Sue

I received excellent, friendly and professional treatment for my shoulder pain.

Dr Jay is affable and puts you at ease straight away. He fully explains everything that he's going to do, the risks and appropriate details to make sure you are comfortable and understand everything. He listens and asks good questions, as a result I felt he truly got to grips with the issue I was having with my back.

I have been lucky in that even following a couple of sessions I have seen a marked improvement to the point where I can now do things like open bottom drawers and pick things off the floor without pain. Previously these common tasks were very uncomfortable for me.

Thanks again for your advice and guidance. I would recommend Jay at Align Body Clinic to anyone seeking osteopathic treatment in the Bath area.

Jay Ruddock at Align Body Clinic was recommended to me following a car accident. Jay completed a detailed consultation and used both traditional Osteopathic and Structural Integration (Rolf Method) techniques to relieve the pain in my neck, shoulder and back. Jay also recommended workplace changes and exercises. I do and would recommend Jay to anyone who requires the services of an Osteopath.

Extremely helpful for my recovery after a dislocated elbow. Great stretches to do at home and useful work at the clinic itself. Jay is friendly and helpful and I highly recommend this clinic.

Me, my partner and my Mum all come to Align body clinic. They have been absolutely brilliant for each of us in different ways. Sheena supported my recovery from my first pregnancy and treated me from 20 weeks during my second. My treatment from Sheena didn't just treat my back problems, I also noticed that my breathing, digestion and energy levels all improved. I do not need so much osteopathy now so I recently started having deep tissue massage instead and its been just what I needed. A lot of massages leave you feeling worse or that the ache has just moved to a different place. Sheena knows exactly what she is doing so this has not happened. I can't recommend Align enough, they are very easy to get to and once Sheena even helped me up the stairs with the buggy!

Sheena gave a very professional, considerate sports massage. Just right for my cycling legs, and for my back when lifting weights. I'm definitely more aligned now. Thank you.

I love this place and Sheena is just fantastic.
After weeks of pain in my thigh, my family forced me to call an osteopath to help me fix it. I had no idea what an osteopath was so I just picked Align Body Clinic (mostly due to the positive reviews and the ability to park at Sainsbury's). It was literally the BEST things I've done in a long time. Sheena instantly knew what was wrong with me, fixed me (ow ow) and recommended exercises as well as stretches. I'm so much better now and go back to see Sheena whenever there's anything else that's bothering me.

I have been using ABC for the last couple of years due to ongoing lower back trouble alongside some acute flare ups. As a golfer my back endures a lot of repetitive use and as such needs constant care. Through advice and treatment from Jay, I manage to keep these flare ups to a minimum. Highly recommended Osteopath and great guy!!

I had a long standing running injury and had been unable to run for several months, nothing seemed to work. I went to see Jay on recommendation, he was great in diagnosing and treating the injury. Now I am happily back running again!

I had been suffering from constant back pain after having my little boy and finally decided to go and see an osteopath for the first time. After only the first appointment I noticed an improvement and after 4 more sessions I am now pain free (feels like a miracle!) Jay was very professional, clearly explained what he was doing during the treatments and also gave exercises for me to do at home. Very good policies / cleaning /PPE etc. in place too during these times of Covid. I absolutely recommend anyone to go to see Jay for any aches or pains.

Jay & Sheena are both fantastic, I have had many treatments here over the years and they always manage to sort me out! Friendly, professional service in a relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

I went to Jay because of a very painful lower back or pelvic problem. He quickly identified the problem as muscle related, he massaged the area and set me a course of excersises. within days the pain was abating and within three weeks I was completely clear.
Thank-you, Jay.
I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Anna.

I have been seeing Jay for about 8 months and I cannot recommend him more, every single ache and pain I have had through rigorous exercise has been fixed by align body clinic.
