I have been seeing Kathryn at Manchester Back care for a few months now, and my mobility and back issues are so much better, which has resulted in better sleep and I can be more active which has been amazing for me. Kathryn really listens to how you describe your issues and fully explains what she is doing which is both reassuring and interesting. I can fully recommend this Chiropractic clinic to anyone for either on going issues or for preventative treatments.

Absolutely brilliant, over the course of the treatment the pain dissolved.
After two years of trying to manage my back pain and trying various solutions including other chiropractors I was at my wits end. Something had to change. I sought out Manchester Back care.
Kathryn does not provide 'vanilla' treatment, she takes time to listen to your problems and tailors the treatment to your issues. For this first time I had the sense of someone treating the actual problem rather than just manipulating my back. The moment when she isolated the actual vertebrae at the root of the issue was bliss...
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been attending this practice for over 12 months. During the 14 or so sessions I have had with Kathryn she has been incredibly diligent and supportive.
For anyone considering this therapy for the first time, don't be worried at all. Kathryn uses non jargon to explain and carefully explains how she treats you and advises you on what you can do to help yourself at home.
My quality of life has dramatically improved and I cannot thank her enough. Take action today and you'll not look back.

I was referred to Kathryn and Manchester Back Practice by a neighbour who raved about their improvement after treatment. After my own experience, I understand why Kathryn is held in such high regard.
When I first arrived, I had a vague sense something was wrong with my back, and after Kathryn provided me with a thorough diagnosis, her valuable advice really helped me.
Kathryn’s expertise in back-related matters is evident, and she isn’t only professional, but also approachable with great communication skills. It’s clear Kathryn genuinely cares about helping people, and during my interactions, I felt she listened and came up with solutions, rather than simply offering generic advice.
Since starting treatment, I’ve experienced significant improvement with my posture and mobility. Every visit to Manchester Back Practice has been consistently positive, with a welcoming atmosphere.
If you’re facing any issues with your back, neck, or spine, I can recommend Kathryn without hesitation.

I started visiting Kathryn around 6 months ago during an episode of severe sciatica and to help manage my long-standing general back/shoulder/neck pain. Kathryn is a joy to visit, and an extremely caring chiropractor. She's empathetic, truly listens to what you're saying and really wants to understand, and genuinely cares about improving your quality of life. Her treatment is gentle but effective, and she helps you manage between visits with useful exercises and advice. She has helped me work towards longer spans between visits and better management of my symptoms long-term. I'm so glad to have found a chiropractor I trust so deeply!

I cannot recommend Kathryn highly enough. From the swift, compassionate, and knowledgeable first conversation she exhibited a rarely experienced level of client care that immediately put me at ease. Her clarity and unique interpersonal skills build trust and confidence from the onset. I was virtually unable to walk when I first visited her clinic having a diagnosis of acute sciatica. Following a thorough and in-depth assessment and subsequent treatment in her exceptionally capable hands my mobility improved significantly, and pain levels reduced. As a self-employed person, I do not like to think of the consequences if I had not discovered Kathryn’s clinic, an outstanding Doctor in the Chiropractic field. With regular appointments I invest in my health, which is priceless. Kathryn has transformed my life literally and I would invite anyone who experiences back issues and pain to seek out her practice.

Kathryn is extremely knowledgeable and the service she provides is first class. I went to Kathryn after suffering discomfort in my lower back. Kathryn took the time to review my situation and advised me on the best course of action to help resolve the problems I have been having. After a couple of months of treatment there has been real positive results in my situation. I would highly recommend Kathryn to anyone who is suffering back pain or discomfort

Kathryn is brilliant! She has completely transformed my form and pain points in my neck / back. My posture is better and I can move much more freely / fluidly now. She has a lovely patient manner and is very transparent, explaining everything thoroughly and no question is too silly! There’s been a couple of uncomfortable pain points during treatment but I’m always one for thinking it’s for the greater good. I actually look forward to my sessions as the relief of pressure is so instant and you can see results so quickly. Would highly recommend her and if you’re unsure of what to expect from a session, she’ll totally put you at ease. Thank you!

I have been going to Kathryn at Manchester Back Care for over 5 years now to keep Spondyilitis in my neck at bay
I saw other Chiropractors before Kathryn but none of them match up to her amazing treatment and professional attitude
When I get off the treatment table, the aches and stiffness have immediately disappeared
She is so caring and always had a smile ready
Definitely consider her if you need treatment
It's better than taking medication
It's great for sports injuries as well and helps keep you supple
Thanks Kathryn

After years of stiffness and dull aching/discomfort in my back due to injury and stresses, Kathryn has really helped take away this discomfort. I’ve had 6 sessions and they have really helped improve my posture and my comfort while sleeping. I used to feel slumped over with a stiff back before but now I have a lot more freedom in my movement. Kathryn is also super lovely and really listens to you and the issues that might be impacting your back (etc) problems. Would highly recommend, she’s fab!

I could not believe the immediate improvement in just 2 sessions with Kathryn. The right side of my body is misaligned and giving me a bit of jip but with a combination of exercises, a few clicks here and there along with Kathryn's expertise I'm getting there. She is very knowledgeable about why your body is reacting out of sync and gives great advice and really wants to make you feel better. It's now down to me to take all of that on board to make everything in good working order. A good diet and exercise is key especially because I have a desk job and working from home during lockdown (not always ergonomically friendly). I highly recommend anyone with different conditions going to see Kathryn, she's lovely..

I have been treated by Kathryn for many years now and have found her to be professional, conscientious and knowledgeable. 
Kathryn always takes the time to listen to and address my concerns, giving easy to understand explanations for the treatment she carries out. The treatments I have received from her enabled me to continue with my work schedule and home life pain free after suffering from migraines most of my adult life and neck and back pain. It is wonderful to now live without taking prescribed medications which did not benefit me in any way. During the past Covid year/months, I have felt very safe attending my appointments knowing that Kathryn ensures that the highest standards are met for her patients.

From my initial contact, through to consultation and treatment Kathryn was friendly, informative and genuinely interested in getting to the bottom of the type of treatment I needed. The treatment I received had immediate and incremental affect. She clearly enjoys the work she does and explains clearly and simply what my problem is and how she wished to treat it. I am so pleased to have found her and would recommend her 100%.

I am very pleased with the treatment I have had with Kathryn at Manchester back care. Kathryn is very knowledgeable and professional. Kathryn goes to great lengths to explain the treatment and how it can help with back issues. In addition she makes sure the treatment room is as Covid secure as is possible. Kathryn wears full PPE during visits. I am pleased that I chose Kathryn and the Manchester back center and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Kathryn is fantastic at what she does. Having slipped a disc in my lower back I have been in a lot of pain and struggling to move for a few weeks. After just 3 sessions I feel so much better. I can move more and the pain has decreased and this is due to Kathryn. While being covid secure she still offers a wonderful service. I highly recommend Kathryn.

Kathryn is fantastic. Her compassion, care diligence and hygiene standards (given the current pandemic) are commendable . She is friendly , accommodating and knowledgeable . I have been seeing Kathryn for five years now and trust her absolutely to provide me with comprehensive chiropractic care . I went to her throughout my pregnancy and she provided me with ongoing advice and guidance to ensure I was pain free throughout the pregnancy. This has continued after my pregnancy too, giving sound advice and recommendations for feeding positions to assist in alleviating any discomfort linked to my neck and back. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any back/ neck /postural pain or advice . Thank you, Kathryn for your services over the years and for many more in the future.

After moving to the UK mid last year I needed to find a chiro that was willing to listen to me and work with me on putting together a care plan that best suited myself. Like they say you know your body the best! After a few failed attempts I found Kathryn and Manchester Back Care. After the first consultation knew that I had found my new Chiro.
If you are looking for a chiropractor that truly wants to help and is in it for all the right reasons, then look no further than Manchester Back Care.
Highly Recommended.
Thanks Kathryn for listening and working with me.

I have only recently begun to receive treatment at Manchester Back Care, so this is a new experience for me. On recommendation from a friend I sent the initial request for a consultation, just to see if there was any way that I could be helped with my back and shoulder pain. From the first time I spoke to Kathryn she has been extremely professional, knowledgeable and considerate in her assessment of my needs and also of my overall well being. Its been a very positive experience for me and I would recommend Kathryn to anyone. After working at home for 6 months on lock down I am beginning to feel the very welcome benefits of Kathryn's treatment plan, which on occasions is not the most comfortable at times, but it certainly does provide results

I have had treatment from Kathryn now for over 2 years and can safely say that the service, care and support I’ve been provided is priceless to my life and career. As a man who is on the go at all times in a sporting environment it is essential for me to be able to move correctly and pain free and this is exactly what Kathryn achieves for me. I can safely say that without my appointments and support I would likely struggle to fulfill my daily routines. Service is always friendly and as such I moved with Kathryn from her previous employment due to her outstanding service and care.

23rd July 2020
I have known Kathryn for around eight years. I first met her when she was practising in Marple and I 
had decided to go and see what chiropractic was all about. I had been suffering from back and neck 
pain, severe headaches and, worse of all, chronic fatigue. I had tried a myriad of different things to 
try and get some relief but nothing seemed to work. I decided to give it a go and so I made an 
appointment. I had a thermal scan of my spine and a consultation with Kathryn. The scan showed up 
several problem areas in my lower back and neck, so these were discussed with Kathryn afterwards. 
My main symptom had been fatigue and I had been living with it for many years so I didn’t expect an 
instant cure. After my first few sessions I felt more tired than usual. (I reckoned that this must mean 
that something was happening!) I decided to persevere with the regime of treatment. After a few 
weeks I started to regain some of my long-lost energy levels. This was an incredible breakthrough as I
had virtually given up all hope of being able to work full time again and (perish the thought) play 
badminton at a competitive level again. Initially, I was having 2-3 sessions per week and then 2 per 
week and so on until I was seeing Kathryn once every 2 weeks. After 6 months or so I reckon that my 
energy levels were 80-90% normal. 
I still see Kathryn o/ an occasional basis. This is to have a ‘fine tune’ of my spine as I call it. My 
posture was quite bad some years ago. Kathryn has worked on this and I am now an inch or so taller 
than I was! My headaches have become far less frequent. Stress can cause my neck to get all 
‘knotted’ and gives me awful ‘tension headaches.’ Kathryn carries out adjustments where necessary.
I must admit that I was quite cynical about chiropractic to start with. I am a scientist and I decided to 
read up around the subject to see what it was really all about. It all made sense as far as I was 
concerned.
I cannot say categorically that chiropractic can cure chronic fatigue. However, I can say that I have got
my life back since I started seeing Kathryn and having chiropractic treatment. I have good energy 
levels (for a 55 year old!) and a good posture. I have far fewer problems with my neck and back too.
Kathryn is very knowledgeable in her subject. She is very professional and imparts a great sense of 
calm and wellbeing. You have to trust someone when they are making adjustments to your spine. I 
trust Kathryn absolutely. Kathryn is a lovely, friendly person. You don’t have to like the person that 
treats you ......but it certainly helps! I would thoroughly recommend Kathryn as a chiropractor.

Fantastic, straightforward and honest chiropractor. There's no scaremongering nonsense, Kathryn will listen carefully and recommend treatments you need, but without pressure - and she will focus on the issues that you have, not suddenly start looking for other new things.

I had really bad back pain that at times was debilitating and was affecting my quality of life.
Through Kathryn's investigations, treatment and care, I have been able to return to my previous level of exercise (which I never thought would be possible) and I now have a much better quality of life.
Kathryn is such a caring person and goes over and above the call of duty to make sure her patients get the necessary treatment and leave in a much better condition than when they entered her treatment room.
I can't recommend her highly enough.

Kathryn has looked after me, my neck and back from 2012. During this time, she has straightened me out, got rid of my sticky out shoulder wing and now I see her monthly for treatment on my lower back, which works out best for my particular condition. I trust Kathryn 100% and she is also lovely, takes a holistic view and really makes sure her advice is a good fit *highly recommend

Kathryn has been my chiropractor for a number of years and she is the only person I trust to look after my back. I was living with chronic lower back pain for over 10 years before my first session with Kathryn. She took time to find out exactly what was causing my back pain and developed a tailored plan to treat it. I started to feel better within a few sessions. I was quickly pain free and now my back feels better than ever - I am still amazed how much better I now feel! Kathryn is very friendly, caring and always makes you feel at ease during treatments. I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a chiropractor and I look forward to continuing my treatments with Kathryn for many more years to come!

Kathryn is absolutely fantastic, she can tell instantly what is wrong with your back and neck before you even have chance to explain it! She is so incredibly skilled in what she does and makes you feel so at ease having the treatment. Kathryn has been treating me now for 18 months after an existing back injury led to discomfort and sleepless nights. She is able to release my back and neck to relieve it and help with built up tension from the pressures of my job. I can highly recommend and always look forward to my next treatment!

I have been seeing Kathryn for treatments for a while now. I have a curvature in my upper spine and this causes me problems from time to time with lower back pain and sometimes hip/leg/feet issues, which can make walking very difficult and painful. I would rather see a chiropractor to address the source of the pain holistically than to simply take painkillers to treat the pain as my GP would have me do! Kathryn is a great friendly Chiropractor who always takes the time to listen and check and adjust treatment accordingly each time. I always come out feeling lots better and go back for "adjustments" so I can carry on with life pain free. I would certainly recommend giving the team a try is you suffer with ongoing pain

I've suffered from lower back pain for years and seen so many physios but the problem didn't go away. A sports massage expert recommended me to Kathryn and I've never been so grateful. The instant relief of having a pain free back was so, so amazing. I've been going to see Kathryn regularly now for a couple of months and I can tell it's making a difference that no other treatment ever has - 100% worth a try. No idea how it works either, but it does - just wish I'd gone five years ago. So happy!

I have been a regular attendee at 4 different chiropractic clinics over the past 8 years and having resolved my acute back problems, I now regard my visits as "ongoing maintenance" There is no question that this approach has kept me more or less, pain free and significantly more active. 
I have now been one of Kathryn's patients for over a year and the success story has continued. My condition is probably better now than ever before. 
Kathryn is very professional and has a welcoming and caring attitude. 
In fact, aside from the treatment making me feel better physically, I thoroughly enjoy our chats about issues away from medical ones. I have no hesitation that 5 stars is fully deserved.

I have been seeing Kathryn now for a few months as I was struggling to do my job as a nurse. She diagnosed me as having a curvature of the spine and my back was also in spasm. I was unable to sleep or even function properly at work. I cannot recommend Kathryn enough, she has been wonderful. I’m back to sleeping all way through the night and back to normal nearly at work. I’ve had regular appointments and a clear management plan. Already got family going regular as well, I look forward to going now 😊😊😊

I suffer with MS and started to suffer with severe back pain.
It got to the point I struggled to just walk to the shops. I had a consultation with Kathryn who sent me for a scan and X-ray. Once we had a clearer picture Kathryn then started to work her magic on me. I have to say I couldn't have asked for a better Dr and would highly recommend to visit Kathryn. Very genuine, caring and clearly loves her job. Thank you for all the help and advise on how to improve my posture and life balance. Excellent!!!!
