“I had headaches, neck pain, fatigue and was unable to function normally. I couldn’t do any physical work without suffering. I tried then usual routes, GP who tried their best but couldn’t help. I even tried a private DR but again no joy. When i saw Paola she was able to help straight away with her hands on therapy, long term i have made dietary changes recommended by Paola and have taken supplements that Paola was able to diagnose as being beneficial for my personal circumstance. All combined i have made a full recovery and i am now full of energy and able to do whatever i like physically. Paola has a fantastic manner which puts you at ease and fills you with confidence in her obvious talent.

” I was majorly let down by my GP and my health deteriorated so much I could no longer have a normal life due to immune system related issues. I was desperate and worried. Thank goodness I found Paola. In only 4 visits over 6 months she made a huge difference. I had forgotten what being healthy is like.

The first consultation was amazing. She went through my whole family and personal health history, leaving no stone unturned. It was illuminating as it made me realise how shockingly superficial my GP had been: after 3 years they were not even at the stage to have asked the relevant questions in order to diagnose me.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Paola. She is a very empathetic health professional, with a holistic approach and a determination to make a difference. I highly recommend her.”

” My life has completely changed thanks to Paola and her healing modalities. Since 2016, I had been left physically exhausted after a trip to Indonesia where I got Bali-belly. My brain was useless, it was dull, fuzzy and empty – you’d think I’d be reading books, watching TV but I was too tired to. I just lay there, incapable. I had been to my GP who ran all sorts of tests including for parasites but nothing came back that helped me. On recommendation I went to see Paola . Paola put me on a course of treatment to address the underlying imbalances. It took several months but the continual exhaustion I had felt for years ebbed away, my mind was clearer, I could concentrate and really felt like the active person I had been prior to 2016. I honestly cannot thank Paola enough for her treatment and care and for giving me back my life and energy. I am so grateful to Paola for spending the time on training to be an Osteopath and Functional Medicine Practitioner because I think I would still be waiting for a diagnosis had I stuck with the NHS (they are amazing but couldn’t solve my problems on this occasion). I recommend her highly and wholeheartedly and she will be my first port of call next time I have any health issues.

” Thanks to Paola I now have a very happy and contented baby. I first took my baby at 8 weeks old to see Paola as he suffered from colic and reflux (or so the doctors told me). He was unable to lie on his back which meant he could only sleep if lying on my chest. Which meant I didn’t sleep for the first 8 weeks. Torture. He would scream for hours on end in pain.

After Paola evaluated him she believed it to be built up tension in his head and torso due to a traumatic and extremely quick delivery. Pressing lightly on certain areas of his body reliving the tension and now he is like a different baby. She has a lovely nature with babies, very calming and smiles the entire time

After 3 sessions he lies happily on his back, sleeps well and is now an extremely happy baby.

I couldn’t recommend Paola highly enough.

I first saw Paola as a result of an ongoing and extremely painful groin and lower back problem on my left side. I am a squash player and had been unable to play for any sustained period as the pain kept recurring. Paola treated the problem but it still recurred. She deduced that the problem was not mechanical in origin and suggested I embark upon a detoxification programme. I have to admit I was sceptical at first but the results have been astonishing. The pain has disappeared and I am now playing squash and doing training drills again. This is something I have been unable to do for years now and it just feels so good to be able to compete again on the squash court as well as all the other benefits. During periods when the pain was at its worst, driving, walking my dogs and other normal life experiences were difficult too.

I have in the past tried many health professionals including physiotherapists, podiatrists, etc but I think I was very lucky to find a therapist who was able to offer an alternative therapy, which has suited me so well.

I would recommend Paola to anyone who like me has had an ongoing injury or health issue which does not seem to be responding to treatments already tried.”

You managed to sort my neck problem after my own GP told me that it could not be corrected. I was so amazed by what you had done I was curious to see if it was a fluke so my daughter was having problems with her knees and you have cleared that problem up and she is living her life to the max and I have never seen her so happy and she attributes a lot of that to you.

My son was having problems with his achilles and was having emotional problems of sorts and I was worried for him as to where it would lead. You have corrected something that my GP said was growing pains. Not only did you correct the achilles problem but he is a completely different boy as to what he was. He talks about you in a way that has completely changed his life for the better.

I could never thank you enough for how you have transformed all of our lives and all of your other advices we are ALL leading a far better quality of life. I am forever grateful to you.

Paola Pizzuto was recommended to me by a friend who, like me, has had long-term muscle/joint problems which various therapies had failed fully to address. I have had intermittent lower back pain for more than 10 years for no clearly identifiable reason, and despite the best efforts of chiropractors, physiotherapists, assorted massage therapists and acupuncturists. I had also been suffering from a sore throat for about 6 months that the doctor said was due to acid reflux. This disappeared after 1 session with Paola. My sore back is improving significantly after 4 sessions.

Paola’s approach is unlike any I have encountered before. She takes into account the whole body, including internal organs, dietary /toxic interference and the effect that past illnesses may have had. She works very gently on the body, but you are left with a feeling that something profound has happened. Her work on the nerves of the skull is new to me, and fascinating. I like the way Paola explains what is happening and her theories.

I really look forward to and enjoy my sessions with Paola.   I do not feel that Paola would recommend any more sessions than are necessary with her, but what she does really works. I have already recommended her to several friends.

I went to Paola Pizzuto because of a stiff, sore shoulder with limited movement and at times quite painful. After a few sessions I had full movement and no pain. Her knowledge of the body and all the ways that our body parts and other aspects of health and well being interconnect is remarkable. This knowledge combined with her strong intuition means that she is very good at her job.

I originally sought some osteopathy treatment due to an old lower back injury which I suspected was starting to affect the mobility in my hips and back. I started to see Paola Pizzuto in February last year. As well as treating my lower back, she also spent some time finding out some further details about my health history, and as a result has been able to treat me so I no longer suffer from frequent indigestion, and I also no longer take fluroxetine for my pre menstrual symptoms. Not bad considering I only went about my back!!

Paola is a very approachable and skilled therapist, and I would recommend her highly to anyone who thinks they may benefit from osteopathy.

Sarah

I sort treatment for a painful neck, which had become chronic. I chose to go to Paola Pizzuto on the recommendation of friends, and am very pleased I did so. From the initial consultation she identified that both my left knee and groin required treatment and that I was taking medicine for a mild digestive problem.

The first treatment was mysterious and different from any other I had experienced at the hands of an osteopath. Most impotently it was effective, both immediately and over the following week. I admired and enjoyed her working approach and methods, and, as I continued to improve, to respect her competence in dealing with my now fading problems.

In the space of five or six treatments the three areas of chronic and intermittent pain are healed and she is supporting me in reducing the gut problem.

I would strongly recommend treatment by her to others. She has a serious approach supported by a great capacity for laughter. And her treatments work.

I really couldn’t recommend Paola Pizzuto highly enough. We recently discovered my son has been suffering from long term lower intestine pain due to intolerances but Paola was the third specialist he’d seen so, as you can imagine he wasn’t too keen to see another! Paola really put him at ease with her very calm manner, chatted to him through out and also let him play with toys or me read to him for a distraction as he can be quite wriggly. Paola even managed to fix an alignment issue after an altercation with a wall in the playground!

The whole process from start to finish was excellent and some invaluable practical advice for the future on how to help manage my sons issues moving forward.

Just need to now get my husband booked in to see if she can work her magic with his back!

Laura

I have been visiting various osteopaths over the past 15 years or so. This has been due to back pain and the occasional sporting injury.

Recently, I had need to visit the osteopath again due to a pain in my left shoulder, which had been getting progressively worse over the summer months. During my initial consultation with Paola Pizzuto, after telling her about the pain in my shoulder, one of the first questions she asked was, ‘Do you suffer from indigestion or acid reflux?’. I thought, what can this have to do with my sore shoulder. However, I have suffered with a hiatus hernia since I was a teenager and have been on medication from my GP for the last 28 years to combat this. Upon hearing this Paola announced that she would be able to help me with both my sore shoulder and the hiatus hernia. I’m ashamed to say that after the years suffering with indigestion and being told by my GP that there was nothing could be done, other than a risky operation, I didn’t believe her about the hiatus hernia.

However, after only four treatments I seem to be cured of both the sore shoulder and the indigestion caused by the hiatus hernia. Thank you so much Paola!

I’ve used Paola Pizzuto a few times now, both for myself and my son too. I knew within a few minutes of my first appointment with Paola, that she was really good. She knew various ailments I had just from looking at me. I was impressed! And I continued to be impressed as the treatments she gave me solved my issues.

When I was having a treatment a couple of months ago, I asked Paola if she might be able to help my son (aged 3) as his digestion was very problematic and it meant that he wasn’t properly potty trained. Paola was amazing with him. His ailments were more far reaching than I’d imagined and I think, on reflection, he’s probably been like this since he was a baby. Now after 5 or so appointments with Paola, he is completely sorted. What a difference it’s made to him. I recommended Paola to a friend with a son with similar issues and they’ve had great results too. Most people wouldn’t think of an osteopath for this type of issue, but Paola isn’t your average osteopath. I think she’s a miracle worker.

I was hit by a car while cycling 16 years ago and broke my hip. This has cost me pains in my lower back, and I have since then seen various of doctors and therapists who have treated me and told me that this is something I have to learn to live with. I believed that until I tried osteopathy with Paola Pizzuto.

At my first treatment, I had strong pains when I arrived, and I didn’t really believe that Paola’s gentle treatment could help me. But it did, and just after the first treatment, I felt a major relief of pain. I have seen Paola a couple of times since, and I can feel a difference after each treatment. It will take time for my body to adjust after so many years and that makes my body ache, and I get tired, but I can feel that I get better every day. Osteopathy with Paola has helped me, and I believe that I soon will be without any back pains. Thank you.

Osteopathy with Paola has helped me to work towards a life without back pains. It has made a huge difference in my life, and I can only recommend her treatments.

Mette

A friend recommended Paola Pizzuto to me because she was so happy with her. I am so pleased she did because I felt the same and was devastated when she moved from Suffolk. Paola is very intuitive and has a very gentle way of treatment. I felt comfortable and trusted her from the moment I met her.

I had injuries from a car accident as well as curvature of the spine and osteoporosis; Paola treated me over a course of a couple of years until she moved away. Each session was painless and my posture and other health challenges gradually improved…some went away and did not return.

Although they have their place, I do not use any conventional medicines/drugs. Regular traditional and cranial/sacral osteopathy treatments are part of my preventative maintenance program.

If Paola moved back to this area, I would be one of the first queuing up for an appointment.

I now have a very happy 12wk old baby all thanks to Paola Pizzuto. My Little Noah used to scream all evening until about 1am and I could see that he was really tense, he used to clench his fists and was stiff around the neck and shoulder. He didn’t feed well and he really suffered with wind and regurgitating his milk. His weight gain was poor too. Paola suggested that he may be suffering with reflux and gave me some tips on how to relieve his discomfort. She also found several points on his head and torso where he was holding tension and began to work her magic. He has had now had 3 appointments and he is like a completely different baby. He goes to sleep between 9-10pm and sleeps until morning. He sleeps for longer periods during the day rather than just having little catnaps. When he is awake, he’s much more content as well as being nicely active and alert. Paola has a nice gentle reassuring way with the babies.

So if you have a baby with some underlying niggles that are affecting their well being – I’d highly recommend a visit to Paola
