Testimonials

"I first went to Raewyn Morrison after the death of my father and the problems I had with my back consequent to that. Not only did she relieve these problems, but also after just a few sessions, I found other unforeseen (by me) benefits:

- a niggling problem with sciatica abated.

- a lifelong condition of legs which ache with horrid regularity has all but disappeared.

I see Raewyn about once every six or seven weeks and feel I really benefit from this regime. The service is friendly and relaxed, yet professional, and I have no reservations in recommending this therapy and Raewyn as a rare practitioner of it."

"I whole-heartedly recommend Ortho-Bionomy. I have been going to Raewyn Morrison for several years and my sessions with her are invaluable. I have a desk job, which involves a lot of computer work, and I tend to raise my right shoulder until it sticks. Regular Ortho-Bionomy sessions correct the problems, and prevent them building up into serious back pain. I've also been treated for back pain following a heavy fall, and I wouldn't want to go to anyone else."

"For over five years I have regularly taken up sessions with Raewyn using her Holistic Massage and Ortho-Bionomy skills. She listens and is attentive to the issues you bring and suggests treatment to fit the occasion rather than a standard treatment, which may have fewer benefits. She is the consummate professional and you can be assured that your personal details are treated with the utmost confidentiality."

"I have been seeing Raewyn for over 15 years, sometimes for specific problems such as lower back pain and sciatica but also for on-going 'maintenance' to help cope with the stresses and strains of life. The great thing about Raewyn apart from feeling that you are in really capable hands is that depending on the situation, she can use a wide range of therapies such as Ortho-Bionomy; Feldenkrais and more recently Craniosacral to provide a truly holistic approach that is really effective. I see Raewyn once a month without fail and for me she is one of the people that I depend on to help me cope with life!"

"I have been receiving Orthobionomy from Raewyn Morrison for over a year with positive results. I have come to rely on regular Orthobionomy as the only treatment ever to have relieved my symptoms and improve my state of health generally.

Raewyn is a very caring practitioner and dedicated to her work, she has helped me to have a positive outlook on life."

"I became interested in the Feldenkrais Method because of a postural problem. I am an oboist (of enthusiastic beginner standard) and was most aware of this problem when I was playing. So I did an internet search for therapies that help musicians with posture and after a few clicks I came across Raewyn Morrison's name as a practitioner working in Sheffield.

In my first session I told Raewyn I was getting a stiff neck whilst playing. The stiffness restricted my 'embouchure', the relaxed and flexible mouth posture that wind instrumentalists require. Raewyn took a detailed case history. This gave her background and me the permission to refer to other matters (beside the presenting issue) in later sessions. Raewyn gave me guidance on which of Feldenkrais's many exercises to practice. I liked the opportunity to keep something going between sessions. I benefited from her advising me to avoid the more exhausting exercises.

We discussed everyday stress that contributed to my neck pain. Raewyn suggested smooth ways to rise from a chair which I now use routinely.

I now work as a social worker but I also qualified as a shiatsu practitioner. I trusted Raewyn's touch from the beginning. With this trust it was possible for sessions to go beyond educating my body to be more efficient mechanically. Gradually I raised issues that called for her knowledge of Craniosacral therapy.

During the year of seeing Raewyn she applied subtle pressure, and I always felt more relaxed after seeing her and more grounded.

I have just revisited the opening chapters of Awareness Through Movement by Feldenkrais. He writes beautifully about holistic health. I can vouch that Raewyn Morrison has helped me to address the matters he raises, in particular being mindful of the connection between being mindful of habits in the social and physical body."

"Stress can affect the body in so many ways. I was recommended Raewyn by a friend after a period of debilitating illness brought on by a very stressful situation at work. First of all the muscles in my gut went into spasm and then I started to experience severe cramping in my legs, the muscles of which failed to function properly so I could hardly walk. This was exasperated by damage I had done to my spine many months earlier attempting a simple Pilates exercise (I had never previously suffered any back trouble whatsoever).

When I first visited Raewyn, I was in a very bad way but very quickly, she readjusted things so that I could walk again and after a few months of fortnightly sessions was back to normal. In fact better than normal because she was able to work on other areas of tension and stress within my body of which I was totally unaware.

My job is still very stressful and also physically demanding (I work in animal rescue) and, since I am no longer young, I regularly visit Raewyn to keep my body in tune. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
