Gugan Hair is quite literally THE best osteopath I ever had the pleasure of being a patient of. I responded so well to her approach of multiple techniques and my spine had never felt better in my life. I unfortunately am no longer in the area, but in the 3 countries I have gone to for osteopathic work, no one has ever come close to providing the relief I needed which Gugan did for me. I am seriously considering flying to the UK just to be treated by her again. You will not regret it. :)

Thanks Ms Hair who is professionally and diligently helping me to relieve my long term issue of finger/hand/neck, and it does ease me to continue my work.

I had tried many different treatments over the years to get rid of my headaches, but it wasn't until I came to see Gugan that I found a treatment that worked. Gugan is lovely, friendly, and gave me exactly the treatment that I needed.
ISABELLA D.
Excellent and professional advice for my back treatment. Highly recommended!
Kerry M.
Very knowledgeable and talented. I took my 72 year old mother as she has been suffering from shooting pain in her back for few weeks. Problem was diagnosed and resolved in one sitting.
BHANU R.
Gugan has helped me so much. The appointments are always very thorough and definitely work to ease my problems. Gugan is very professional and kind and I feel totally relaxed and confident in her care. Would thoroughly recommend Potters Bar Spine Clinic.

My Osteo, Gugan, changed my life!
KATHRYN P.
I've been having pain issues for years, and Gugan is the only one who's really made any difference. She's helped me to accept that it will never entirely go away and has taught me how to manage flare-ups through stretching, exercise and techniques. Gugan genuinely cares and is a delightful person. I can't recommend Gugan enough and dread the day she ever stops practising!!!

I have been seeing Gugan for a couple of months now and have found her approach to be very thorough and friendly. She takes a truly holistic approach to the treatment plan and most definitely not a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I have had good success with the innovative Laser therapy combined with other treatments. I highly recommend her as a true professional. Thank you, Gugan.
MARK M.
I've been going to Gugan for some months now regarding up back tension/ pain and sometimes for my lower back and I only have good words for her. Gugan takes one look at my spine /neck etc. and knows exactly what needs attention. She's truly skilled. I appreciate how quickly she gets to work on my muscle tissue or bones and how I feel a lot stronger and at ease after I've been for my appointment. Thanks.
