Headaches & dizziness

Mrs EC - Accountant
Having suffered from headaches, dizziness and shoulder tension for some time, with no relief gained from treatment by conventional methods, I am delighted to have found Diksha whose care and expertise have exceeded all expectations. Her Massage with Classical Manipulation technique has given my body balance and a renewed lease of life.

Mr DD – Sales Manager
Diksha was recommended to me by a friend after I’d put my neck out. After only one session, mobility in my neck was almost completely restored which is quite remarkable as in the past it has taken several weeks to get that level of mobility back.  Even more remarkable was recent treatment by Diksha. I woke up one morning with what could be described as “room spin”. The next day this was later diagnosed as a virus in the inner ear and I was given drugs to stop the nausea and headaches which also occurred. I happened to mention this to Diksha during a treatment. She worked on different areas of the head, face, neck and back. When I got up there was no more “room spin”. Diksha had successfully redressed the balance in my body by correcting misalignments in my neck, face, back and had also worked on the muscles to release tension.  I could have spent a considerable amount of time on drugs and continued suffering from this condition with possible hearing loss if it worsened. Having tried Physiotherapy, Acupuncture, Chiropractic I personally believe Diksha’ s help with my conditions has been considerably more effective than these other forms of treatment. I would whole heartedly recommend Diksha’s treatment

Mrs SS – Retired; Singer
When I was 65 years of age, after a visit to the hairdressers, I experienced real dizziness when lying down.  I went to my GP who diagnosed it as vertigo, and although I mentioned it was after leaning back over the wash basin in the hairdressers, the GP said it was due to wear on the inner ear.   I was told there was nothing could be done and the GP could only give me tablets that would help if symptoms were really bad.    

After three months, although I had learned to live with the vertigo and knew how not to aggravate it, I was very unhappy with the situation.  I happened to see a presentation by Diksha Chakravarti and afterwards asked her if she could help with my problem.  Diksha did not make any promises but as I liked her approach regarding alleviating pain I thought it was certainly worth a try.
After the first session the neck felt less tight, and I felt 2" taller!  After just three sessions the vertigo had gone completely!

I also found, as Diksha treats the whole body, another problem I had with my hip when walking long distances had disappeared.

I cannot express how my quality of life has improved, I didn't realize how much I was living my life to suit the pains I was experiencing, now I can look round quickly and get in an out of bed at any speed and also can walk for miles all without pain!
Thank you Diksha,

Neck & Shoulder Pain

Miss NE - PA; rambler
Due to various reasons, the main ones being an inflammatory condition I suffer from and stress, I spent a great deal of my life in pain, specially in the neck, shoulders and arms. I have found the Massage with Classical Manipulation technique as practiced by Diksha to have eased it considerably……… I find Diksha to be very knowledgeable of my condition……….I am pleased to say that there is no unnecessary pain or harsh adjustments….she is professional, caring, thorough and it is obvious that she deeply enjoys being a Holistic practitioner.

Mrs CF - Administrator; Netball player
I have always found Diksha to be very professional in her diagnosis, treatment and advice. You will not be disappointed!

Mrs JC - Civil Servant
After just 1 treatment, my neck and shoulder pain had gone, my range of head movement had normalised, and there were no more cracking sounds to be heard when I moved my head!

Stress related problems

Ms CS - Teacher
Diksha works in a truly holistic way. She treats all patients as individuals. I have significant experience of complementary therapy and especially praise Diksha's effective combination of muscular skeletal readjustment with aroma therapy, music and soft tissue massage. She has certainly helped me with my stress and posture related neck and shoulder pain. She offers an entirely honourable service, promises no 'quick fixes' and actively discourages dependency - no unnecessary appointments!

Ms KM - Social Worker: medically retired
I am a sufferer of MS and have various muscular/skeletal problems; my system is very sensitive and I have found it hard to deal with strong physical manipulation. I have had several treatments from Diksha and my hip and knee pains have eased and the chronic back problem is beginning to respond; it is important for me to remain mobile…the healing process requires a trust between the patient and practitioner and I feel very secure in the hands of Diksha who is sensitive, intelligent and highly skilled.

Joint stiffness and Pain

Mrs AB - Receptionist/Telephonist
Having regular treatment with Diksha helps me cope with my arthritis.

Miss MM - Civil Engineer
When I saw Diksha for the first time (during one of her treatment presentations) I thought: "Such a petite & fragile lady! How could she move any of my stiffened and painful joints or bones?"
My back felt immune to painkillers after many years spent in front of the computer (and carefully avoiding any kind of physical exercise!). So I took the chance to go to her. Her touch was even more delicate and painless than I expected but she had obviously "done something" (even if I did not feel it) to my joints and bones because I left like floating on air, slept like a log and for two days did not feel any pain! During following appointments her warm personality made me feel relaxed and I began discussing various aspects of my personal life, upon which she ented with sensitivity and understanding. I understood then that she was treating me with a holistic approach and it felt so good!

But the last time, I was doubtful that Diksha could help me. My chest had been painful following a very bad cold and my doctor, unable to diagnose the problem, sent me to have X-rays done. Diksha carried out a few light adjustments on my ribs... and I could breathe without pain and the pain has not returned!

Ms MB - Civil Servant
Following recommendation by a colleague, I called Diksha and she answered my call for help the very next day. From that initial session, she aided my recovery from the secondary phase of Rheumatoid Arthritis attack, which had previously gone unrecognised for the past 5 months. She treated my body with the utmost tenderness and care and I have no qualms in recommending her to any person. I continue with regular maintenance treatments which enables me to lead a relatively pain free life. She has been a wonderful find!

Back Problems

Mrs KC - Chiropodist
Having been a nurse and then having had 2 children, I suffered from lower back pain for years but after just 1 session I walked away feeling inches taller and after regular treatments, my back pain has never returned again; the treatment is entirely pain free and there is no ‘bone crunching’.

Mrs LP - Housewife
I first came to see Diksha when a persistent niggling back ache suddenly became quite severe in a specific low back area. She was recommended to me by a friend who had suffered similar problems. Incredibly after only two of these quite relaxing treatments the pain had diminished considerably, and after four I was virtually pain free and able to resume more strenuous activities such as gardening and going to the gym. Perhaps more importantly, Diksha has stressed to me the importance of taking responsibility for improving the health of my own back, and she has shown me how improved posture and simple stretches can alleviate tension and help reduce pain. Through my own increased awareness of my spine's 'likes and dislikes', and regular sessions with Diksha, I now have few problems and very little pain. I have also found these treatments are very helpful with general relaxation, and afterwards feel a great sense of well-being.

Mrs JB - Landscape Architect; athlete
By the time I went for treatment my back had seized up completely - I was unable to walk more than 4 -5 steps without severe pain – I was later told I had a prolapsed (slipped) disc.
I expected the treatment to be extremely painful, but it was not. Immediately after the treatment my whole back felt more relaxed and the nerves began sorting themselves out - this meant a couple of sudden jars of pain and my kneecap shook for a second or two! However, once at home, I could lie down comfortably without pain, which was a huge relief. Whilst checking my back, she also noticed that my kidneys were inflamed and although I had no symptoms, suggested I talk to my GP about getting it checked - which I did, once I was mobile again, and to my surprise was told I DID have a kidney infection as well.

I carefully followed her instructions and returned for several treatments. Each time my ability to move around became easier and less painful. One month later I returned to work, still being very careful. I have started walking up mountains again quite happily but have avoided squash and badminton as she suggested.

The importance of having a good practitioner is vital to healing. It is also important to understand why one's back becomes damaged so that you avoid doing it again - I would recommend Diksha’s treatment and approach to anyone who wants to know how their body is coping with everyday stresses and strains and learn how to maintain a relatively pain free existence.

Sciatica

Mr BE - Managing Director; amateur sailor
Diksha, As promised a word of thanks and appreciation for your treatment of my muscle condition. As a former sceptic of any form of complementary therapy I have been amazed, and delighted that a short course of treatment has resulted in such a dramatic improvement. I am no longer suffering the chronic discomfort that has been with me for more than 10 years. Your proposal for a quarterly review is excellent sense, and I'm looking forward to maintaining my current 'pain free' condition. Once again many personal thanks.

Mrs JH - Librarian
I was impressed by the hands on holistic approach which delivered a full sense of well being. My sciatica is now eased and I left the treatment room feeling 10 times better as a person with knowledge of how to keep my condition manageable.

Posture

Mr AH - World Stock Car Champion 2003
Having had Diksha’s treatment I am better informed and therefore more conscious about the correct use of my body.

Sports related problems

Mr JZH – Cricketer; transport consultant
7 yrs ago I was in serious pain with my hip due to the wearing away of the cartilage from many fruitful yrs of playing football, cricket and road running…after many visits to doctors and physiotherapists I was told that I needed to give up sport…sought Diksha’s help whose intervention helped me to finish the cricket season in 1 piece.  The most gratifying feeling on my part is that I cannot remember the last time my hip caused any discomfort of note!!

Mr JS – ex GB rower; professional cameraman
Having been a young international sportsman, (rowing and rugby), my career was cut short by injuries to my back and knee.  I had the standard NHS treatments for years but the problems kept recurring. After having been battered over the years, one of my best friends, who had tried everything before that had failed, recommended Diksha, whose treatment seems to do something that’s a little bit ‘more.’  You walk away thinking ‘she’s really helped me out here.’ Diksha is restoring the balance to my body.

Now I’m 34, I know that word of mouth as far as treatments go, seems to be everything. It always seemed to me in the past that you have to go to 20 sessions costing ₤30.00 each before anything happened, and you don’t with Diksha - she asks for has a minimum of 3.  From having 100% pain in my back it went to 20% within 5 sessions without any painkillers. Then recently I go a bout of sciatica, which was eased significantly very quickly.

Diksha is charming and highly professional and at the end of the day, what she does is phenomenal and how do you convey that?

Mrs JM - semi professional rower; teacher
I visited Diksha suffering from severe lower back pain. I had already visited my usual physiotherapist and chiropractor on three occasions but there was no improvement in my condition. On my first visit to Diksha she found the cause of my problem, and I immediately felt some relief from the pain. Subsequent visits lead to a full recovery and enabled me to get back to competitive rowing. Since then I have made regular "maintenance" visits to Diksha, she has helped improve the alignment of back, especially as I suffer from a scoliosis.
