Matt, thank you as always for unscrambling my back and neck. The range of motion in my neck is so much better and the stiffness in my back has improved. I would recommend your practice without hesitation.

Having seen a number of specialists for severe neck and back pain I was finally introduced to Wokingham Osteopaths. After a few treatments the pain was finally gone. Can't thank Matt enough. Highly recommend this friendly, knowledgeable, professional team

I came to Wokingham Osteopath’s because I’d had shoulder pain on and off for years which travelled up to my neck and gave me a headache on one side of my face. I decided I should look into getting it sorted, and almost immediately when chatting to Wokingham Osteopaths online they suggested it could be my rib from desk posture. When I then went to my appointment, I had massages, some clicking of joints and overall great care and I have not had any pain since - it’s been amazing! I 100% recommend this business, their knowledge and help have been invaluable - thank you so much for sorting my pain out in just one session!

I came to see Keri when my baby was just shy of 6 weeks old, after weeks of baby experiencing severe discomfort, to the degree of not wanting being held. In our first consultation Keri demonstrated compassion and empathy for our situation and skilfully guided us to explore root cause as part of our treatment plan to ensure we are focused on long term solution not just short term fix. With this keri point us in the right direction and helped us uncover that our baby had CMPA (milk protein allergy), by our next visit 4 weeks later we had seen huge improvements to our baby and could then start treatment on helping her reflux - which had made burping and getting baby’s reflux out much much easier. Each session we had a baby coming to visit happier than the last and it’s made a huge difference to all of our lives.I whole heartedly recommend all babies should see an osteopath, and particularly Keri.

I was recommended wokingham Osteopaths by my partner as she sees another practitioner at the clinic. I went to Matthew with a lower back problem. I had a car accident back in 2020 and have suffered with back pain since. Had seen multiple doctors, physio, even tried acupuncture but nothing seemed to help. Matthew knew exactly what the problem was just by looking at me. Over a short period of time with weekly appointments, Matthew was able to almost completely eradicate my pain. I also had a session with Libby a sports therapist who was also very good. If you need a tune up, or have aches and pains the doctor can’t seem to fix, get in touch with Matthew he’ll fix you!I now see him every 6 weeks or so to keep me in working order, this is the best way to prevent injury so you don’t have to rehab which takes a hell of a longerThanks Matthew you’re a life saver.

I can't recommend Keri our baby osteopath enough! She was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive while treating our 2-month-old daughter for her gassy belly and neck tension. After the session, our little one came home happy, and we've already noticed significant progress.So quick progress, she's less fussy and seems much more comfortable. Thank you for your amazing care!If you want to help your baby, that is the right place, I enjoy every minute of the appoitment very nice atmosphere :)We be back frequently for visit, amazingThank you,Little Mia and mom

Matt was superb right from the start by dedicating a good 40 minutes talking to me over the phone before I had even committed to a visit! I had seen two other osteopaths, a chiropractor, orthopaedic surgeon and physio and no one had been able to relieve my lower back. I had been dealing with this pain for over a year.After six sessions with Matt, I could finally stand and watch my son’s football game without the need to sit down after 10 minutes! I would thoroughly recommend him. He did so many checks & tests, which no other previous osteopaths had bothered to carry out. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

There’s a saying - “ morning shows the day “ or “ 1st impression is last impression “I’ve had exactly the same experience with my 1st sitting with Libby , the great deep tissue , sports specialist ! I’ve been a hardcore fitness activist and going thru some back and shoulder injury . The way Libby handled my tight ligaments and tendons , it was fantastic , 10 on a scale of 10 !!! I’ve decided to continue a long term relationship for well maintenance of my physique at this place !Looking forward ❤️

I have been visiting Wokingham Osteopaths & Massage for several years, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They have been managing my ongoing neck problems due to a slipped disc. Each visit has brought great relief, and I really appreciate their expertise.What stands out most is their great customer service. On one occasion, Matt has gone above and beyond to accommodate my needs, even securing early appointments when my pain was at its worst. This level of care and dedication is rare to find.If you are looking for an excellent osteopath, I highly recommend Wokingham Osteopaths & Massage. You won't be disappointed!

I had a sore hip and back and after a couple of sessions Mo managed to free it up and was soon back to normal at the gym. Great work!

We had such a wonderful experience with Keri here. At first we were a little apprehensive, but willing to try anything! Our LO was fussy, cried all the time and wouldn't feed or sleep properly for love nor money! Keri quickly out us at ease, and after one session our LO was visibly more relaxed, slept much better and was less windy. She gave us the confidence to pursue a reflux diagnosis from the GP and a feeding plan which worked for our LO. Would highly recommend!

I was recommended to Matt by my sports physio to help with a pain behind my left shoulder blade. I found him very caring and informative . The issue was resolved very quickly, would certainly recommend

Sarah Morrison

Keri was amazing with our 3 week old daughter who struggled with trapped wind. She helped identify a possible posterior tongue tie and gave details of a recommended specialists. She helped massively with our feeding but also shared some amazing general tips for a newborn and a new mum - I told her she needs to write a book. If you’re struggling with your little one - you are in very safe hands and Keri is just wonderful. From our two appointments I came out with more knowledge, confidence and a more content baby following her massage to release the tensions from trapped wind. Thanks again Keri !

Kerri did a great job treating my 5 week old son who has been suffering with colic. She shared some techniques to help with expelling wind and also gave some great advice regarding bottle feeding and pace feeding techniques. My son seemed to enjoy his tummy massage and left the session a lot more comfortable, and as a first time mum I left feeling empowered and reassured.

Fantastic service at Wokingham Osteopaths. Matt has really helped the back and neck pain I was having from long stretches of working from home and getting back into exercise. Always open to answering any exercise/muscle related questions, 100% recommend!

I found Wokingham Osteopaths & Massage online when I was looking for maternity massage services. From their website they looked professional and feedback looked great too. I started using their services half way through my first pregnancy and I am now regularly visiting Kerry, who has been amazing! I always feel relaxed and refreshed after a massage and feel looked after every time. I cannot recommend enough.

After suffering with leg and hip pain for about 3mths I went to see Matt, glad I did, after 2 visits I am glad to say that I am now pain free, highly recommended, Great service from start to finish.

Kevin Burree

Matt treated me after falling off my bike and hurting my shoulder/ribs fitting me in for a first appointment at very short notice with a follow up shortly after for some further treatment. I was in a lot of discomfort, coughing, sitting up and down were excruciatingly painful and in addition I was struggling to sleep due to the discomfort in my back/side. Matt explained what was going on and gave me effective treatment getting to the knub of the problem to relieve the tension/pain also showing me some exercises to do at home. He is really nice and very reassuring. I would highly recommend Matt.

Rima Gokani

Fantastic experience seeing Mo from Wokingham Osteopaths. Having seen the GP and NHS physio and given two differing diagnosis and standard exercises off Google which I did religiously, I was no better off. After months of pain when driving only 5 minutes gave me severe pain and having lost my confidence with physical activity in case I made things worse, I had no choice but to explore other options. Mo listened to my concerns and adapted exercises to suit my body and symptoms. There was a clear focus for what outcomes I wanted which were to drive pain free, be able to feel confident returning to the gym and weight lifting again as well as keeping up with an active 7 year old. Now three - four months on I’m pain free and doing all the things I wanted, with a toolkit of exercises I know I can go back to if symptoms flare again. Do the treatment and have the right exercises from a practitioner that understands your body. Thank you Mo!

Ilona Pointeau

Matt is incredibly friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable, I always know I'm in safe hands with him. Any issue I have brought to him he has been able to treat and advise on exercises for me to do at home. I highly recommend him!

Halli Biggs

Biggest game changer in my recovery.After a major unjury in late 2022 where I broke my lower back, I was concerned that my quality of life would never return to what it once was after being warned by doctors. I came to Matt through a recommendation, and to say that I’m glad I took the leap of faith would be an understatement.I had been through various physios, hydro water therapy specialists and more prior to coming to Wokingham Osteopaths & Massage, but when I noticed a true difference, was after having acupuncture and back manipulations through Matt. He really took the time to understand the pain I was experiencing and made sure that he took it slowly so that I wasn’t uncomfortable in anyway.One of the things I’ve always respected about Matt is that when we take time talking through my symptoms, he always ensures I get the full 30 minutes on the table so that I’m getting the absolute most out of both my money and my appointment.Can’t thank you enough Matt!

I have been a patient of Matthew Davenport at Wokingham Osteopaths and Massage for several years and he has treated me for various conditions over the time such as lower back pain, shoulder blade pain and neck pain. He is highly professional, efficient, effective and friendly so it is always a pleasure to be treated by him. I highly recommend Matthew to you.

Keri Devenport at Wokingham Osteopaths has been absolutely phenomenal and honestly life changing for not just me, but for my newborn daughter. Keri has such a gentle touch, she is so caring and patience with her clients. She helped with my daughter by cranial osteopath work and helped my daughter finally latch allowing me to breastfeed. Would highly recommend Keri to everyone. She is absolutely amazing.

I am very happy to give five stars for the treatment by Matt at Wokingham Osteopaths and Massage.I had been suffering with va bad back muscular pain. After a few sessions I can confirm that I actually feel better than before I injured myself. My mobility is a lot better now and I will continue to visit to help keep mobile and reduce the risk of future issues.Thank you Matt for your patience and skill.

Antonia Morgan

Keri was super informative & attentive to our session, we had such an enjoyable experience. Our daughter was relaxed and comforted in her presence with her gentle touch and skills. Keri also observed and supported a feed afterwards so we left with tons more confidence and felt very supported as we continue on our feeding journey.

Matt and Alex have been amazing. When I first contacted Matt I was in chronic pain in my lower back, hip and half of my left leg was numb. I was in tears with the pain; it was worse than childbirth. Matt quickly understood the level of pain I was in and got me an appointment the same day. Matt and Alex have a complete understanding of the working body, treating the problem at the source, not just the symptom locations, working at the level my body could cope with in each session. They manipulated and massaged me, and I'm now clear of pain and have a fully functioning body again. I'm so grateful for their knowledge and capability, and I strongly recommend them.

I had been through 20+ sessions with a chiropractor clinic and it damaged my back. I saw Matt & after 2 sessions i returned to full health. Would highly recommend, Matt is a legend. Not often you see professions put people over profit.

I highly recommend Matt, he made me feel welcome and asked lots of questions to get to know me and my problem. Matt explained everything he was doing and how it works so i understood what was happening. Once i was straightened out and feeling good again Matt was honest and said i didnt need to go anymore but hes always there if i feel like i do. Thanks again Matt.

I have been struggling with neck pain for just over 10 years following a car accident. Mo at Wokingham Osteopaths has helped to reduce the pain and increase the movement I have in my neck. It has not felt this good since I started suffering 10years ago. Mo is the first person to listen and not just write me off because I have a desk job, which yes is part of it but he listened to recognise it was not just that. Thank you Mo!

Stanley Louw

I have Sarcoidosis that very often causes the muscles and tendons in different joints to become extremely painful. The last event was my shoulder that got so bad that I could not sleep. I tried different doctors and physios all without luck for 2 months. Eventually I saw Mo and within 2 sessions my should was 90% improved. I will now only go see him, and can highly recommend him.

As a Fibromyalgia sufferer it is difficult to find a treatment and clinician that can help, Matt at Wokingham Osteopath and Massage listened to me and respected the fact that fibro sufferers expirance pain differently to most unaffected people.Matt managed to fit me in while I was in crises with a server fibro flare-up nearly a year ago and helped me get back to a manageable state after a few treatments. I now see Matt for maintenance and would not consider seeing anyone else out of Wokingham Osteopath and Massage.Matt and his team are friendly, respectful, and patient focused.Thank you Matt for giving me my life back!!

Rebecca Elliott

I was recommended Alex's services after I'd had a head injury due to an accident which left me with limited breathing through my nose, a stiff neck and various other areas of pain and swelling. I was able to get a 'same day' appointment and there was a noticeable improvement in my breathing and neck after the first appointment.I highly recommend Alex as I felt comfortable during the consultation and treatment and I am now well on the way to recovery thanks to his services.

Tom Lochhead
