I am a serving police officer with the Metropolitan Police. As a result of a fall from a police horse I sustained 2 slipped discs between my 5th and 6th vertebrae (neck). I endured this condition for 10 years prior to a diagnosis via an MRI scan in 2003. After diagnosis I was referred for 2 weeks intensive physiotherapy through work. On completion of this treatment I was referred to Gauthier Lepoint. Initially I saw Gauthier 3 times per week, this eventually became once every 3 months. Gauthier recommended acupuncture, something I was sceptical of! This REALLY helped me. I have been bed ridden in the past due to this painful injury. Since I have been in Gauthier’s care the pain and discomfort has virtually disappeared. When I do suffer, the episodes are much shorter and far less painful. I am now fully fit and able to carry out full duties. Gauthier is patient, reliable and I trust him implicitly. I wish him well with his private practise. I only wish I lived nearer to Welwyn Garden City!

    “Having never had a serious injury that prevented much movement ( a serious knee dislocation ) OR physio before,  I was hopeful and apprehensive in equal measure. Gauthier was immediately supportive, efficient, practical and personalised in his approach. As much as the physical nature of the injury, Gauthier enabled me to work on the mental…

    Gauthier Lepoint succeeded where the NHS was unable to. Gauthier performed physio on my right leg, which I was unable to bend more than a few degrees after a surgical repair to my cruciate ligament. The injury was like cutting the string working a puppets leg and that leg had to be trained, even forced…
