"Paul's therapy certainly helped me to resolve a long-term problem with my lower back and pelvic region".
Over the years a combination of poor posture and energetic sporting activities had weakened my lower back to such an extent that driving for more than an hour or so became extremely uncomfortable. Previous orthopedic treatment had only partly alleviated the discomfort and leg numbness which I experienced, whereas with Mctimoney I find that the treatment is much more effective and less arduous. A special programme of lower back exercises was developed by Paul Maunsell and I practice these on a daily basis to ensure that my back is kept subtle.
The notes on back pain and driving posture from Paul's web page are extremely relevant to any driver and I can personally endorse the "check list" of things to do prior to embarking on a long journey. I would recommend one of the wedge-shaped cushions obtainable from Paul as a viable alternative. As a first-time beneficiary of Mctimoney treatment, I would personally recommend it to anyone who has experienced similar problems with lower back pain".

Originally came for back relief but comes regularly now for MOT 's as it helps relax muscles and generally " makes me feel better".
"Thank you Paul for getting me back on my feet - literally. My back had given up under a combination of bad posture at work, lack of exercise and stress. When it gave way I was frightened that something major had gone wrong but was reluctant to go to my GP. I thought I might end up on the downward spiral of referral to specialists, hospitals and operations. Whilst you offered to come to my house, I put on a brave face and drove the 15 miles or so which was a bit of an ordeal. It was well worth it though and after the first session the pain was gone and I was able to move about. Within a few days I was properly on my feet again and soon at work. I am happy to say I was even again playing tennis this Summer without any strain. I am working to get fitter again and going from strength to strength. The total of a few sessions were more than worth the time and modest fee. I am most grateful for your professionalism and insights on other levels. You truly have a healing touch. I found the treatment sessions remarkably relaxing yet strengthening at the same time, and contrary to general opinion your chiropractic method does not hurt at all. I would recommend treatment by the McTimoney method which you practice without reservation especially for people with chronic pain and limited movement."
If you are suffering from back pain, or even many other types of joint pain, please take it from me that a visit to Paul Maunsell should be very high up your priority list. Since moving to Nailsworth a few years ago, we have had the benefit of being able to visit Paul. We find the McTimoney technique really gentle - so gentle indeed that you barely feel anything during the treatment session. We also find Paul's back massage at the end of the treatment session exceedingly beneficial, in that it relaxes the strained muscles and soothes them, so easing discomfort and assisting recovery no end. In summary, I am a complete fan of Paul's Holistic Therapy and can recommend Paul most highly as a gentle, caring and highly effective practitioner.

I had previously tried chiropractic for my neck/shoulder pain but really did not like those very hard, forceful adjustments. I could not simply "relax " when I knew the "cracking" of my neck would begin. Then I was recommended to try this more gentle McTimoney approach and find it much more long lasting and effective. My shoulder pain has gone and I have regular check ups two or three times a year which I can highly recommend. I also find the massagie very relaxing.

I had a very painful back after horse riding one day and Mr Maunsell put me right after 2 treatments which I was extremely grateful for as I had to be at a very important meeting the next week. I only wish I had come across Paul Maunsell earlier on and my wife is now having regular treatment and has never been fitter.

"I feel this is the most sympathetic treatment for the body. Manipulation is never violent and always within the limits that the body will allow. I have always found this treatment to be effective, gentle and very good at allowing the body to gradually but securely, recover its natural balance and posture. I will always recommend it to others".

"My chiropractor is without doubt my "best friend", he is able to keep me on my feet and in work without time off. It is hard to describe the peace of mind this gives me".
