"I have had the pleasure to have been treated by Hamish for several issues over the years.

Due to past surgeries I have had discomfort over the years in the abdominal area.

Hamish has been able to work on these areas and relieve the discomfort I had been experiencing.

It is great that such minimally invasive treatment could relieve these nagging pains without the use of medications."

"I had been having chronic back problems both in my lower and upper back for 8 years.

I had tried everything from Chiropractors to Phsyios and various other Osteopaths. Another very experienced Osteopath had been treating me almost on a weekly basis for 6 years. I would get short term relief from the treatment but the symptoms kept coming back and it was profoundly affecting my job and my quality of life in general.

I was resigned to the fact I was going to have to live with pain for the rest of my life until I came across Hamish at Orewa Osteopathy.

Within only a few weeks of treatment I had started to make improvements and began to need treatment less and less often. I have now been pain free for almost a year something I thought was unachievable before I started coming to Hamish.

The difference with Hamish's approach was not only did he relieve the pain quickly in the short term but he put me on an effective exercise program which has strengthened my back and prevented a reoccurrence. Hamish's approach is modern and innovative. Most important of all he genuinely cares about your well being and getting you right.

I would thoroughly recommend Orewa Osteopathy to anyone who wants to be free of long term back problems."

"I have just recently had a baby and suffered a lot during my pregnancy with back pain and pain in my sides, close to where my ribs are. I was pretty big so this caused a lot of strain on my body. My sister referred me to Hamish at Orewa Osteopathy as she found the treatments very good for her back pain. I found the treatments during my pregnancy invaluable and the relief I got from them got me through a very uncomfortable time! Hamish is a very friendly and approachable person who really listens to his patients and treats them accordingly. I would really recommend him and have already done so on many occasions."

"I first consulted Hamish Syrett, Osteopath in October 2009

Prior to that time, I had endured several weeks of intense back and arm pain. Despite blood tests, an x-ray, a variety of prescription medications and non prescription medications and natural health remedies, there was no improvement. Diagnosis varied and was never established.

On the recommendation of a health professional, I commenced weekly visits to Hamish at his Orewa premises.

My response to treatment was almost immediate and within two days there was a marked subsidence in pain, sufficient to reduce painkilling medication to a minimum.

Subsequent treatments over a five week period have now effected freedom from pain, discontinuance of medication and a thankful return to normality.

Importantly, the method of treatment was unhurried, thorough and fully explained.

Impressively, Hamish was able to unravel this unspecified condition and provide diagnosis.

On a personal level, I found Hamish to be efficient, professional, calm and pleasant. He has the rare quality of being a good listener.

Hamish has my respect and gratitude and I can confidently recommend his services. "
