"I went to see Anja 9 months postpartum having suffered months of back and pelvic pain since early on in my pregnancy. I had tried a range of alternative therapies and also had a nerve root injection. My body healed to some degree but my body was very much conditioned to feel the pain. I was struggling to walk longer than 30 minutes without pain and was relying on painkillers most days especially at work. I really felt stuck and frustrated by my situation as I was previously very active.
Anja's approach is unique and very much woman centred. I found her to be kind, empathic and able to deal with sensitive issues.
Anja gathered a lot of information from me prior to my appointment. I felt she really listened and cared about how I was feeling. The initial examination was thorough and gentle. Anja was very honest and upfront with me about what she thought. She actually saw beyond my physical symptoms and gave me some honest advice on how I could take the mental step forward that I needed to. I only saw Anja for one further appointment and she encouraged me to try the Core Connect classes mentioned on her website.
Within 2 weeks of seeing Anja I stopped taking painkillers altogether and I'm walking pain free. I've been hiking in the mountains again and my life is no longer dominated by fear and pain. I am so grateful." - Charlotte
"I discovered Vitality Matters in 2019. With a congenital back issue, hypermobility of the joints and a penchant for throwing myself at a variety of outdoor pursuits, not to mention a sedentary, desk-based job, having a great osteopath who really understands what my body needs, how it works and how to help me look after it well is absolutely life-changing. After suffering a horribly painful ligament inflammation and associated joint issues, I was so glad to find Vitality Matters and start to rebuild my strength and stability.
Anja’s wisdom and expertise, her holistic approach, her gentle yet effective methods and thorough understanding of women’s bodies and their osteopathic needs has not only helped me enormously with addressing the backache and associated pain and worries that I sought her help with, she has also eradicated a nerve-twitch near my right eye, and set me on a path to attending a fabulous core strengthening class called CoreHeat, which is working wonders to support my body’s ‘structural integrity’ and supporting the progress I’ve made on Anja’s treatment table." - Gwenlli
"I have always been extremely happy with the standard of care I have received from Anja throughout the several years that I have attended her clinic. There has been a noticeable improvement in my arm following the MLD treatment I have received from Anja for the lymphoedema in my arm. Anja is always professional in her approach, making detailed notes during the consultation, offering advice during each session and demonstrating a genuine interest in my health issues.
The clean, comfortable and well-equipped clinic is conductive to the promotion of good health.
I would not hesitate to recommend Anja to others seeking professional help." - Alyson
"I approached Anja with a multitude of issues ranging from; sport injuries, mechanical issues and post birth problems. I found her to be very professional, informative and someone that can put you at ease instantly. She supported me physically but also mentally to find the right path and treatment. She also helped identify other best practice and treatment options outside of her expertise. I would absolutely recommend Anja." - Kate
"Super professional treatment, very informative and honest, the attention to detail is exceptional,and I love that Anja gives so much time and care in to really getting to know what is the root cause of my problematic back, really looking forward to working with her to gain a healthier body." - Megan
"Mae ymweliadau cyson â Anja wedi bod o help mawr i mi ddelio gyda fy mhoen cefn. Mae yma awyrgylch gartrefol a thriniaeth drylwyr a hollol broffesiynol. Mae hyn wedi fy ngalluogi i gario mlaen bob dydd." - Mared
"I approached Anja with a sensitive problem which I was a little embarrassed about. Anja welcomed me to the clinic with her warm personality and immediately put me at ease regarding the problem and I was able to explain my situation without feeling embarrassed. Anja is clearly passionate about all aspects of her work and is eager to help you. The treatment and advice received has helped me on my way to solve my sensitive problem." - Beti
"Fe ddois i o hyd i Vitality Matters yn 2019. Mae gen i broblem yn fy nghefn ers fy ngeni, gorsymudedd yn fy nghymalau a thueddiad i daflu fy hun at bob math o giamocs awyr agored, ac ar ben hynny i gyd, dw i’n eistedd wrth ddesg drwy’r dydd yn y gwaith. Mae’r cyfuniad hwn yn golygu bod cael osteopath medrus sy’n deall gyda chraffter yr hyn mae fy nghorff ei angen, sut mae’n gweithio a sut i fy helpu i edrych ar ei ôl yn dda yn wirioneddol amhrisiadwy. Pan gefais i anaf gewyn a chymal oedd yn ofnadwy o boenus, roeddwn i mor falch o ddod o hyd i Vitality Matters a chychwyn ar y daith tuag at adfer fy nghryfder.
Mae doethineb, arbenigedd, agwedd gyfannol a dulliau addfwyn ond effeithiol Anja, ynghyd â’i dealltwriaeth dreiddgar am iechyd merched, nid yn unig wedi mynd i’r afael â’r poen cefn a’r poen a phryderon cysylltiedig roeddwn i wedi mynd ati i’w trin yn y lle cyntaf, mae hi hefyd wedi llwyddo i gael gwared ar hen smicio diflas oeddwn i’n ei gael yn y nerf wrth ymyl fy llygad dde, ac mae hi wedi fy nghyfeirio at ddosbarth ffitrwydd o’r enw CoreHeat, yn arbennig ar gyfer cryfhau’r cyhyrau mewnol (neu “practis côr” fel dwi’n ei alw fo!), ac mae hynny’n gwneud lles mawr i mi o fy mhen i fy sawdl, ac yn helpu i gynnal y gwaith da mae Anja’n ei wneud ar y bwrdd triniaeth." - Gwenlli
"Fantastic clinic! Anja is a wonderful practitioner - very caring and considerate. I always feel better after a visit to Anja. Highly recommended!" - Hannah
"It took Anja a little over one hour to work out what is wrong with my body after years of pain. After years of going to physio, pain clinics where I wasn’t really being listened to. My issues are complex and probably won’t go away completely, but her treatment and most importantly her willingness to listen and help me cope with the pain has been nothing short of life-changing." - Nikki
