Chiropractic testimonials

My GP had diagnosed myself with Piriformis Syndrome & I was advised to book to see a physiotherapist. I found Lucks Yard as it was literally up the Rd from me. I was in alot of pain, my appt was with Laura from the moment I stepped into the room I knew she cared. Laura did many tests & was 99% sure I did not have Piriformis syndrome. I had a private MRI which she suggested as that would really be the only way to find out what was wrong. My results came to show it was my back which Laura knew. She was kind, caring & genuinely concerned how much pain I was in. I had a couple of appts wirh her trying to aliviate my pain & get me into a more comfortable state, but unfortunately I needed more. I am now waiting for an appt for Orthapedics. If Laura had not taken the time to properly investigate I would still be thinking I had Piriformis Syndrome. I cannot thank her enough, just literally for her kindness, expertise & genuinely caring attitude. Lucks Yard is very lucky to have her.
Thankyou again. Laura, you are amazing”. Lisa S

I can’t recommend Tone enough for helping me get through my second pregnancy. When pelvic girdle pain started at 20 weeks I knew I had to find a chiropractor who understood what was happening with my body. In my first pregnancy I could barely get up the stairs after the 28 week mark. Within a few sessions my pelvic girdle pain was almost non existent and I was ecstatic to keep my mobility, especially with looking after a toddler. When sciatica appeared at 30 weeks, again Tone knew what to do and has kept the pain manageable. I am now at 38 weeks, and I can still get around and my pain is completely manageable. Without Tone I can honestly say I would be in a very different position had I not been seeing her for the last 18 weeks. I have managed to continue working, waddle after my toddler and kept my mental health in a good place. I am eternally grateful! Laura Hutchings

Amazing!!! Tona is so warm and knowledgeable and my massage with Liz has made me feel so good. I can’t recommend them enough! We are so lucky to have them in the village. Sophie Price

My loved ones and I have repeatedly benefitted from the skill and heartfelt engagement that Tone and her colleagues bring to the table. Based on our experiences, I can and do highly recommend Luck’s Yard and hope they thrive for many years to come.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for us to date. D Wilhelm

Laura has been fantastic at getting my neck and shoulders moving again and is also a thoroughly nice person to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her! J Brown

First did the free consultation with Laura. Amazing woman was able to tell me everything that was going on and the best treatment going forward.

Immediately booked for my first adjustment and OMG do I feel so much better. Limping and walking funny and in pain for 3 weeks now with minimal pain and walking fine. That’s the first adjustment in 4. Can’t wait for the second one
Laura was so lovely to talk too and made me feel so comfortable being my first time.
Highly recommend. C Davies

From the moment I contacted Luck’s Yard I’ve received a warm & friendly welcome from everyone, nothing is too much trouble.

I initially booked a free 15 mins consultation with Laura Hack as I really wasn’t sure if having any sort of treatment was suitable for me with a complex medical history & so this option was ideal for me to talk through it all & see what my options were & what they could offer me.

Laura was instantly someone I felt I could be brutally honest with my health both physically & mentally, & she really took her time checking me from head to toe, feeling what my spine ,muscles & reflexes were like & what range of movements in limbs I have.

The session was an ideal amount of time I feel & at no point did Laura rush, if anything we went over the alloted time a little.

Due to quite a lot of different things wrong/going on with me she wanted to discuss with another member of staff to go over my medical notes I’d given her & her assessment of me before doing any form of treatment on me, I found this incredibly reassuring & I felt I’d found the right person & practice to help me.

We didn’t start any adjustments to my body until appointment #3 I believe as she wanted to try & calm my nervous system which was in constant state of flight. I had acupuncture which I find really helps.

She has begun to do adjustments now & for the first time in 30 years I can look up fully, my severe back pain Ive had 25y+ has begun to ease off, even v strong controlled drugs I’ve been on haven’t given me this much pain relief.

I can’t put into words the difference Laura has made to my health & pain levels, I’ve slept properly for the 1st time in years, I feel a bit more optimistic about my life & future.

5* from the moment you contact them & incredibly friendly, they came highly recommended locally & I genuinely can’t put into words how glad I am I found them, especially Laura. V easy to talk with, makes me laugh & is so passionate about her career.  Sarah Stewart

A huge thank you to Tone, for giving back the hope of mobility to my mother through to helping release tension in my son. The whole family has benefited from your care, in every sense of the word!  Yolanda

Tone is a good listener and is always helpful in advising and promoting self help, as well as providing first class treatment. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Philip

Tone is an amazing person.  She has a rare gift of intuitive warmth combined with exceptional professional skill.  She is flexible in being willing and able to meet people where they really are and I am grateful.  She has true vision and cares passionately for the wellbeing of people.   G Welford

My whole family have used Luck’s Yard for many years as you know you will always be made very welcome and with their range of practitioners there is always someone who can help. I would and do recommend them to everyone!  Alice Manuel

Not only can Tone pinpoint the problem in the very first session – thanks to her exceptional knowledge – she can also advise on lifestyle changes to help speedy recovery.  She is unique in her holistic approach to physical health by nurturing the mind-body connection in consultations.  I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I wish I’d contacted them years ago.  And I am so to be a regular there now!  I have chiropractic with Tone and have regular massages with both massage therapists. Tone runs a holistic, highly professional, very personalised caring business.  Don’t hesitate to contact them as I did – just call – the helpful receptionists will do their best to get you an appointment as soon as possible.

I love my visits to Mariana at Luck’s Yard.  After having suffered with back and shoulder pain for 18 months, I finally booked an appointment.  Mariana spotted the cause of the problem and got to work on me.  Less than a year later I feel like I have a new back and hadn’t realised how much the pain was affecting my everyday life.

The entire team at Luck’s Yard is professional and friendly – I completely recommend them to anyone.  Don’t leave it as long as I did!

Laura Sands

I was recommended to Tone by my chiropractor when he retired post the millennium.  Wow, what a great recommendation! With Tone’s help I have moved from regular treatments to the occasional visit and nearly 20 years later I am able to maintain my back sclerosis myself – which sadly means that I no longer see Tone as much as I would like!  She also gave my son a check when he was born and we were able to treat his neck torticolis and she also identified my husband’s bulged disc weeks before the NHS arrived at the same conclusion.  Highly recommend. Tone is knowledgeable and a great listener and has an amazing aura around her.

Kirstie Emery 

Wow, a new experience in Chiropractic and massage.  What a wonderful place with such genuinely lovely people.  My mental stresses and physical pains are hugely improved with the treatments provided.

Katherine Thompson

I started seeing Tone in my fifth month of pregnancy because I fell down the stairs and twisted my hip.  I felt comfortable getting adjusted by her from the first second.  Her knowledge is impressive and her way of working is full of love and caring for her patients.  I got adjusted by her and her team throughout the whole pregnancy and have seen her after delivery to get me and my baby checked.  Antenatal I have seen her reflexologist who sadly retired and the podiatrist (Tone’s recommendation) as I had problems with my feet, what doesn’t get better in the pregnancy due to weight.  And postnatal I see now the acupuncturist Becky who is helping me with recovery.  I’m in Luck’s Yard at least once a month.  Can absolutely recommend.  And the ladies at the front desk are absolutely adorable as well. Always super friendly and helpful.

“I used to play squash to a high standard and run regularly, but gradually developed a problem with my achilles tendon which became painful and chronic. I saw several physios for treatment, but none of them were able to help me to recover, and eventually I was forced to give up all sporting activity. Very frustrating! Then, by good chance, after a year or so I rediscovered Tone, who referred me to Nic Langlois. His different and thorough treatment was extremely effective, and I was able to start running again within a few weeks without any discomfort. I recently took part in the 8+ mile Grim Challenge over the Army heavy vehicle testing track at Aldershot and completed it in under 1 hr 20 minutes, finishing second in my over 60 age group. A great experience, which would not have been possible without Nic’s assistance. Thanks!”

“My left arm, shoulder and hand had been causing me excruciating pain since December 2006. I was experiencing stabbing, burning pains that occurred at least eight times a day each lasting approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour. Over the next two and a half years I tried countless methods to ease my pain; Physiotherapy, Acupuncture, Prescribed Drugs, Massages – but nothing helped. I was recommended the services of Nic Langlois, Up And About in June 2009 and within the first session of my visit I felt confident that he had identified where my problem lay and could help me. The rest is simply incredible; within three months of using Nic’s services I began to notice significant differences in my pain levels, and, as more months passed my arm became increasingly better. As at January 2011, in the last six months I now have only felt pain in my arm twice that lasted only 5 minutes each time and the pain discomfort could only be described as a niggle. The difference to my quality of life that Nic has made has been life changing. I hadn’t had a single through night in two and a half years and was becoming depressed at the thought of just how much longer I could stand the pain for. I now sleep through every night and I can look forward to a future free of pain and I have Nic to thank for that. I would not hesitate to return to him should I suffer a relapse and I would very highly recommend his services.”

“Having felt rather cynical as to whether Chiropractic had any medical advantage my mind has been completely changed after the professional and caring treatment I have received at Luck’s Yard Clinic. Following an unsuccessful operation 40years ago, I was left with a stiff and painful foot. After a short course of treatment my foot is remarkably improved and once again I have movement in the joints. I would recommend giving chiropractic a try.”

“Having suffered increasing neck pain I decided to try chiropractic treatment, it changed my life. With the first session the improvement was amazing and within a few weeks I was a new, pain free person! Luck’s Yard Clinic has so much to offer and wonderful welcoming atmosphere in which to offer it.”

“My experience of chiropractic treatment is kindness, care and understanding provided by a skilled pair of hands.”

“My health challenges have been numerous (structured and otherwise). Tone’s treatments have been nothing short of a god send for me. Her skill and sensitivity is exceptional. I am so grateful I found her.”

“My first visit to Luck’s Yard Clinic in July was with little hope after many visits to a physiotherapist then acupuncture. I was told nothing more could be for the pains in my right arm and neck. I now visit the clinic occassionally for a check up, the nagging pain has gone.”

“Tone helped our daughter Mia at the age of 4. Mia had a slight limp when walking and running. Tone over a period of 6months or so helped to realign her. The difference happened quickly and now Mia age 7 runs freely and naturally and has won races at school!”

“Receiving treatment at Luck’s Yard Clinic has been a very positive experience for me. I have learned how everyday activities such as driving, using a computer and even sleeping in the wrong position have adversely affected my body. Small adjustments have made a big difference, and now whatever I am doing I find myself thinking of ways to improve my technique to minimise the damage to my bones and joints.”

“I saw Tone for treatment during my two pregnancies. She worked on my back so that it was strong to hold the extra weight and resolved a lot of discomforts that can come with your body’s changes at this time. However, a visit to Luck’s Yard Clinic is about more than your physical condition, its a very nurturing environment and it is Tone’s warmth and wisdom that really make a difference so you feel supported and cared for.”

“When I seeTone I feel like screws in my body have been loosened out, I feel much lighter.”

“Tone has been an essential corner stone of treatment for my many and varied back problems and I can’t thank her enough for her help in keeping me on the move. In particular, I would not have survived two pregnancies without her”

“Since arriving at Luck’s Yard with severe back pain, and unable to get up from a seat and walk upright across a room, I am now fit and well with no back pain. I have testament to the skill and professionalism of your Chiropractors”

“Marvellous therapy. Made me a new man. Very highly recommended.”

“I am moving more freely. I used to not be able to put my feet on the floor in the morning- now I’m fine. I am happy to recommend Luck’s Yard Clinic.”

“Since arriving at Luck’s Yard with severe back pain, and unable to get up from a seat and walk upright across a room, I am now fit and well with no back pain. I have testament to the skill and professionalism of your Chiropractors”.

“Last night John and I spent a valuable hour at Luck’s Yard Clinic with Tone, supported by Priscilla, talking to a group of us about backs and back pain. After a lovely welcome and tempting biscuits to munch on, Tone talked to us about caring for our backs. Various skeletons illustrated points that she made and we learned how good posture is the key to it all. Quite a few of us more elderly folk didn’t necessarily have the benefit of Human Biology at school and I personally felt it a great lack in my education. You can read all the books and look at all the pictures, but to have an expert talking to you with the opportunity to ask questions is quite a privilege. Thank you, Tone. More please! You should have seen how John and I were sitting up straight watching television when we got home!”

“I visit Luck’s Yard for several reasons. Tone has looked after my back, neck, hips and knees for some years. She is very clever and knows so much. Each treatment is suited to each visit. Over a period of time I have cut down a lot on painkilling tablets. Plus, the whole place is restful and attractive.”

“I first met Tone nearly twenty years ago when she was working at a clinic in Reigate, Surrey. She had been highly recommended to me and from that day on she became the person I most trust with my neck and back.

She was the first person who introduced me to the idea of a holistic treatment. She listened to what lifestyle factors may be contributing to the problem and gave advice, handouts and specific exercises. It was her who correctly recognised I was dehydrated and needed to up my water intake – advise I follow to this day. She has never extended a treatment programme unnecessarily and has a dedication to her job and patients that is unquestionable.

Over the years I am proud to say that she has become a friend and exhibits the same qualities of honesty, reliability and integrity that her many patients are lucky enough to experience.”

“Lucks Yard Clinic is a delightful Chiropractic and Health Care clinic in Milford, Surrey. It has a warm, friendly welcoming atmosphere. Tone is a very gifted practitioner. I always benefit from my treatments with her, feeling much more energised, flexible and comfortable. I would recommend anyone suffering from back pain to try the experience.”

“I have been really pleased and impressed with the knowledge and way I have been treated by Nic.  I have had my injury for roughly 3 years and in that time have seen and done everything I could possibly try.  In only wish I knew about Nic earlier.  Thank you for giving me that hope to get back into my sport and daily life when I had almost give up!”

“I brought my three and a half week old baby to see Tone after desperation hit – my little man was very fractious any time he wasn’t feeding or asleep he would scream – life looked uncomfortable for him!

I took advantage of the baby check offered by Luck’s Yard and Tone listened to my concerns, offered advice on diet to help with his unsettled symptoms and set to work on Rufus.  After his initial screaming he melted into her hands and drifted off.  He stayed that way for 3 hours – when he woke I got my first smile!

After our first follow-up treatment he was a changed baby. Even his sceptical Granny couldn’t deny the changes!

Thank you Tone, I wish I had known about you for baby no: 1”

“We came to Lucks Yard early in 2012 with our daughter Florence. She had had a rough start to life with an operation to connect her oesophagus (TOF) on day four, open heart surgery to repair a VSD and PDA at 7 months and another op to place a feeding button and nissens for an unsafe swallow and severe reflux.

She has Downs Syndrome too which means that with all of this combined she was susceptible to chest infections and her core was shot. The NHS had saved her life but ongoing treatment to keep her away from intensive care was sporadic at best.

When Florence met Tone she was very wary of anyone touching her, especially if they looked ‘medical’, however Tone’s approach was exactly what was needed.

It wasn’t easy at first, and it took a while for trust to build but two years on and Florence happily gets on the bench and let’s Tone work her magic (she still kicks and screams in hospital).

Tone saw that Flo needed a comprehensive treatment and neck relaxing to be at ease. Tone also recommended for Florence to take vitamins. Tone’s vast experience meant that we left that first meeting with a far bigger plan for therapy overall and beyond Tone’ obligations to ensure Florence could begin to thrive.

Florence has had surgery since to her liver which left a 6 inch scar along her belly; again Tone came in directly afterwards and helped her maintain flexibility.

In conjunction with a speech and language therapist Florence is now completely happy to have all of this touched and massaged and is starting to eat.

Previous to this therapy Florence’s mouth was out of bounds. None of this happened overnight and much of it has been parallel with other treatment to ensure that Florence had the absolutely best support and therapy available.

She is thriving now and active in a mainstream pre-school developing with her peers. This would not have been anywhere near as easy as it has been without Lucks Yard’s advice and therapy.

Other members of our support Group (Stepping Stones DS) have also come to see Tone because of the improvements they saw in Florence and they have reaped the benefits too.

The Luck’s Yard charity concessions mean that we can afford to keep the therapy going, and the gift cards mean the grandparents can buy Florence time with Tone and see tangible results rather than toys that disappear behind the sofa! I regularly recommend Lucks Yard to friends, acquaintances and strangers alike because of our fantastic experience and will continue to do so.”
