"My family and I have been patients of Seb and Elise for many years. (I suffer from arthritis, my son and husband from back pain.) We find osteopathy and acupuncture does help with pain, especially my recent replacement knee.

At the Brook Natural Health Centre in Long Road there is a warm welcome from reception. The rooms are always spotless and the treatment is exemplary. We can highly recommend this practice, we would not go anywhere else and why would we when the best Osteopaths are on our doorstep.

(Remember when in pain they are only a phone call away.)

Thank you Seb and Elise for all the help you have given over the years."

Joye, Frank and Terry Sessions, Canvey Island

"I suffer with very severe active Crohn's disease. I've been having acupuncture for eight weeks now and it helps to relax me and also helps with the sickness and soreness of my stomach."

Faye Crumpton, Benfleet

“I work in London, carrying my briefcase to and from the office everyday which can cause problems in my back as I try and avoid getting run over whilst crossing the roads. Whenever I have a back issue I always find the service at Brook Natural Health Centre very prompt, thorough and professional. And most importantly, it works!”

Andre De Can, Canvey Island

 "After suffering from back pains since my teens, and neck pains after a rugby accident I booked in for an appointment at the Brook Natural Health Centre.  It has a friendly atmosphere and I was made to feel welcome and relaxed.  After being asked questions on the history of my problem I was examined and treatment began.  During treatment I was told what was being done and why.  After 3 sessions I felt the best I had done in years, and can feel a greater range of movement in my neck and back.  Since my treatment has finished I have and will continue to recommend Seb and Brook Natural Health Centre to friends and family."

Michael Young, Canvey Island

"Having been told about the benefits of taking your baby to a cranial osteopath, I decided to take my son who was very unsettled and constantly sick. Still a bit sceptical, I went but can now honestly say it's the best thing I could have done. Elise made me feel totally at ease and when she explained how he might be feeling and why this might affect him,  I was really surprised. The change in him was instant and after just two sessions he was a different baby.

When I had my second baby, I didn't hesitate to take him at just weeks old to be checked out, and again, he is more comfortable and settled.

I now recommend to anyone who has an unsettled baby to visit Elise, as I cannot praise her enough for the improvement to my babies' comfort, as well as making my day easier."

Donna French, Canvey Island 

"I first went to Brook Natural Health Centre ten years ago after falling over and injuring my back. I was treated by Elise Veal and after just a few treatments, I felt well again. The Brook Natural Health Centre is a very friendly, caring practice and Elise devised exercises and treatments I could do at home to help keep my back strong. I attended the centre again just a couple of weeks ago as my back problem reoccurred and I was again treated by Elise. After just three treatments I was feeling fit and well again. I would recommend the Brook Natural Health Centre to anybody and I'm sure they would feel the same way as I do about the professional caring way that everyone is treated."

Tina Graham, Canvey Island

"We had a very tense and unsettled newborn baby girl, Emily, and we were recommended cranial osteopathy by several people. One of our friends recommended Elise at the Brook Natural Health Centre so we took Emily along. Everyone there was very helpful and friendly. After just the first session we noticed a change in Emily and only took her for two more sessions after that. Emily is now doing well and is a completely changed baby - she smiles all the time and only cries for a reason. Now, she is a happy little baby."

Sarah Dunn, Laindon

"Brook Natural Health Centre was recommended to me by a family member when I hurt my back 2 years ago. Whenever I need treatment I'm welcomed and treated in a friendly and professional way with appointments available to fit around my working day. Seb and Elise have worked with me to adapt my treatment with both osteopathy and acupuncture so I know that when I leave I will always feel better."

"I was 30 weeks pregnant when I went to visit Seb. I had been suffering from intense pain in my back, just between the shoulders for a number of years and this had been exacerbated by the pregnancy. I only needed three visits and have been pain free since. The great thing is, you don't get charged for more treatment than is necessary. It's safe to have right up until birth and the manipulations are gentle. Seb always tells you what he is about to do, makes sure you are comfortable with it and he was very careful. I would highly recommend Brook Natural Health Centre to anyone suffering with back or joint pain during pregnancy."

Ruth Fryer, Benfleet

"Myself and some members of my family have been patients for many years and cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention you receive at the Brook Natural Health Centre. Due to recurring problems I have had over the years, Elise or Seb have been able to either eliminate or ease the pain tremendously.  In the last couple of years I have been having acupuncture, and for somebody who was quite scared of the thought of this treatment, I find it of great help and would recommend it to anyone.

Everyone at the Brook Natural Health Centre are very friendly, professional and make you feel at ease and I think we are very lucky to have this facility on our doorstep."

"I had been under the hospital for two years for sciatica and hip pain but have had more relief in six weeks of osteopathy from Elise at the Brook Natural Health Centre."

Mrs. D. Bolton, Canvey Island

"I first attended Brook Natural Health Centre nearly eight years ago for a skin complaint and sought alternative treatment from their Homeopath after orthodox medicines failed to work. After taking some unusual remedies I’m glad to say that my skin has healed up, much to my relief.

I also have an ongoing neck complaint for which I have seen Seb for maintenance treatment over the last few years. The osteopathy and acupuncture treatments keep my neck moving and ease the pain considerably.

The practice is clean and very professional and the customer service is first rate with a very friendly atmosphere and more importantly, the fees are very reasonable too.

I’ve recommended this practice in the past to friends and family and I will continue to do so."

Simon Cope, Canvey Island.

"Dear Sebastian,

I felt I had to write and thank you for your excellent treatment and care of my back pain. After weeks of serious pain on any activity, I am now totally and completely pain free, for that I thank you. I was amazed at how quickly the pain reduced after just one treatment, and after two gone completely. It is unbelievable and I will not hesitate in recommending you and the Brook Natural Health Centre to everyone I know."

Once again my thanks,

Donna Welham, Rettendon.
