Meridian Health and Wellbeing - Kidlington

Jon X. Z.

Alan was first recommended to me from one of my training partners; 30 years of martial arts training as well as having worked in stunts had taken quite the toll on my body.

Having visited many professionals over the years, I can easily say that Alan is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced I have ever come across; within a matter of a few sessions, he fixed my sciatica as well as the many injuries I have picked up along the way. Alan is fantastic at explaining anatomical issues in the most comprehensive manner and ensures that not only do I walk away with more mobility, but also new exercises and stretches to improve my condition.

Alan is also just a great and exceptionally personable individual, who genuinely cares about those he treats; with his extensive experience and knowledge, he is a genuinely one of the best out there. As such, I couldn't recommend him more; you'll absolutely walk away feeling like a new person!

Alan was really helpful and listened to what I wanted out of my sports therapy sessions with him. He gave me useful exercises and I was in less pain and had better range of motion after my sessions with him.

I can't recommend Alan enough. When I had a bulging disc and was in a huge amount of pain, he helped me get my mobility back and gave me helpful exercises to do. He also helps me with sports niggles, muscular pain/discomfort, posture, and lower back weakness. It's like he has x-ray vision and can see why I'm experiencing pain based on how I stand or move. If I ever decide to cancel my gym membership, I'll go to Alan for PT sessions too, because he knows his stuff, is very personable and incredibly helpful.

I attended the clinic with some issues with which I hoped acupuncture would help. Jade was incredibly welcoming and the atmosphere in rhe consulting is light, airy and soothing. After a detailed discussion about my medical / life history I had my treatment. Jade explained everything as the treatment progressed. I left feeling very encouraged. One of my conditions is certainly much less painful today. I look forward to my second visit next week.

I had recently moved to the Oxfordshire area, and due to my work it was so important to have someone who really knows what they are doing (it also felt a little scary to trust someone else who was not my go to) my recovery and maintenance is just as important as my training.
However, Alan was heavily recommended to me from a fellow friend/colleague and it was clear from my first visit that he is incredible at what he does! The way he works is very specific and unique to you, and he is very passionate about problem solving, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan.

I first came to Alan over a year ago to sort out tension in my jaw and neck. After only one session he really helped me, relieving the tension that was giving me a lot of pain and preventing me from eating. I then never left as he is now my personal trainer! Despite me never having done weights before, he made it accesible and fun and I'm now loads stronger than I was before. I really enjoy my sessions. Alan is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and personable. I highly recommend him both as a personal trainer and as a sports therapist.

After a year and 3 months of trying to conceive, eating well, reducing caffeine/alcohol and exercising but still not getting pregnant, it was suggested to me that acupuncture could be a good option to try. I found Jade through pure chance really on a google search but thought I had nothing to lose by trying it. Jade was so professional, knowledgeable and made me feel very at ease and relaxed throughout each treatment. After seeing Jade every week for 3 months, I found out that I was pregnant!! I couldn’t believe it! I’m now 18 weeks pregnant and couldn’t be more grateful for the help Jade gave my body. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a similar struggle with conceiving, she’s wonderful!

I first went to see Alan nearly 2 years ago when I had really bad lower back pain. I’ve struggled with my back on and off for years but never gone for treatment. Alan put me at ease straight away and through a mix of sports therapy sessions and exercises has massively helped me. I still have regular appointments to keep the pain away and have even just started some personal training with Alan too to help strengthen my core. Alan is always very patient, listens and goes above and beyond - even helping me to find the best office chair for my back! Would highly recommend!

Alan has been successfully fixing my niggles and injuries now for going on 2 years. He is hugely experienced and an absolute gold mine of knowledge. He seems to be able to spot issues just by looking at how one stands (in my case at least!). So whilst you might present with a calf issue, actually it’s a tightness in the hips that is the root cause – amazing. Can’t recommend him highly enough – top bloke

I have suffered with bad lower back for 2 decades. Have endured physiotherapy, multitude of OTC & prescribed painkillers and 15 years of chiropractor treatment. Most didn’t work, and those that did offered a few days relief. I’ve not had a full night’s sleep in years. In the New Year my back got so bad that I had purchased a tens machine, hemp cream and had come to terms with this is now the quality of my life. I have never tried any Eastern medicine and decided i have nothing to lose. From the start Jade was attentive, professional and collaborative with my issues. I immediately felt at ease with her and the plan for my pain relief. I’m sat here having had 3 sessions with Jade, day 5 of a full night’s sleep and off all pain relief. Can not recommend Jade enough. There’s a lot of charlatans out there, she’s not one of them! It’s with great pleasure i write this review and hope it will help others.
