We had Osteo work done through Lorraine on our baby due to stiffness in hips, back and neck. After the first appointment we noticed the difference straight away. She instantly became more comfortable on her stomach and had more mobility range. After 3x appointment our baby now enjoys tummy time and less stiffness in her movements. Lorraine was incredible! Very gentle with the wee ones and so knowledgeable in her work. We would absolutely recommend her services to all parents looking for osteo care for their child.

Osteopathy with Lorraine has been a major step back to recovery after sustaining concussion 3 months ago. Prior to my fist appointment with Lorraine NOTHING was making any difference to my symptoms. From the start of treatment the headaches and generalised body pain became more manageable. Now, after 3 treatments, the pain has reduced by 85%. I am SO grateful to Lorraine for her professional, skilled and caring approach. Clare RH

Great experience with better health osteo - I felt 100% comfortable and informed with what was happening and the treatment used. Lorraine was amazing with my infant, she was gentle and engaged whilst performing adjustments. Very happy with the physical results for bubs. I highly recommend this clinic for treating infants experiencing discomfort.

Better health osteopathy has been life changing for me! Lorraine has been outstanding at helping me recover from a neck and shoulder injury, and has got me back training five times a week again, doing the exercise that I love! I would highly recommend her and the team here to anyone.

I have been treated by Better health Osteopathy on and off since 2019, and every time I have had issues with my back, arms, or even feet, Lorraine has been superb at treating me, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she has helped me with. She is methodical in her approach and very thorough at treating. I now go on a regular basis every 6 weeks, just to keep my body in tune for the work I do, and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made, going on a regular basis. I firmly believe Lorraine’s treatments help to keep me out of injuries.I genuinely highly recommend Lorraine and her team.

I started seeing Lorraine when I was pregnant with my third child. She was a life saver not only physically but emotionally. I had major hip and lower back pain and she took such a thorough approach to help me through my pregnancy. She also put me in touch with other amazing health professionals to help me deal with some past trauma.I highly recommend Lorraine!

I’m not one who usually writes reviews but I feel I need to. I have been seeing Lorraine and Lynda for the past 5 years not and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Whenever someone asks for a good chiropractor, I say no. You HAVE to see and osteopath, and go on to tell them about Lorraine and Lynda. They are so knowledgeable. My first experience was with Lorraine when I was pregnant and suffering from a sore back. She was so matter of fact and I was shocked (in a good way) how quickly she identified what was causing me discomfort. I even took my son to see her as a newborn for an adjustment. Later down the track as Lorraine was tricky to get into I met Lynda. I was a little unsure about how she was going to be but Lorraine assured me she was brilliant - and she is! I have been to see both practitioners many times and I always leave feeling well adjusted. They’ve helped me heal injuries from classic sporting strains to headaches. I don’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend to all.

Lorraine is amazing. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you are suffering with severe pain. She has helped me immensely within five sessions. She really knows what she is doing and is happy to bring you back down to earth if you are feeling anxious about your symptoms.I will continue to see Lorraine long term whenever I need too. ☺️

At 36 weeks pregnant I started having terrible pelvic pain which made walking extremely painful and difficult. A friend recommended Lorraine and oh my gosh the difference she has made is incredible. After seeing her I was able to enjoy the last month of pregnancy with my mobility back and its also nice to know that I’m all aligned and ready for birth. Couldn’t recommend more highly!!

I've been a few times since moving to Christchurch. So far, Lorraine has been awesome. Clearly knows her stuff and treats in a peaceful and knowledgeable manner that has instilled trust in the process.

Very professional, friendly and appropriate Osteopath.Takes the time to listen to what’s going on and cuts through the peripheral stuff to get to the heart of the problem. Understands the balance between needing Osteo and needing time to let the body do it’s healing. Highly recommended. Only down side is small car park and stairs which will be sorted when they move to new premises soon.
