Backcare & Acupuncture Clinic Reviews 

I was advised to try acupuncture by my specialist physio and pain management nurse. I had been suffering with an ongoing shoulder injury for a number of years so decided to give it a try. Paul and Daniela devised a treatment programme comprising of acupuncture and massage techniques. After just a few weeks my pain had reduced resulting in me taking a lower dose of medication and my range of movement had improved massively! I’m sure Daniela won’t mind me saying that she has healing hands, I don’t know what I would have done without both Paul and Daniela.

Excellent results

I had been suffering with back pain for a while before I saw Daniela i was initially apprehensive but she is amazing and after my initial consultation and putting me at ease, knew exactly what the cause was. I’m still going once a month but the dull ache that was constant has gone. I get a stiffness every now and then but I’m so happy with the treatment I’ve been receiving and enjoy going for a top up which I’m sure will not be required as often. The guidance I received during the treatments, i am able to continue to use now and in the future. A special thank you to Daniela

Having suffered with back pain for a number of years, I had begun to think I had to live with it. Sitting at a desk for most of my career had taken its toll, especially as I had paid little attention to my posture.
Slowly increasing pain was a depressing experience, so I looked for help.
I made an unannounced visit to the BAC Clinic and was seen straightaway by Daniela. She was enthusiastic, professional and wanted to help.
After a thorough and insightful assessment, Daniela impressed me with her knowledge and confirmation of how she could help.
I learnt about my posture, flexibility and ways to improve this.
With some quick and easy exercises concentrating on the necessary areas, I was surprised by the improvements I made and felt.
By the end of 2/3 visits I felt an 80% improvement both in pain and frequency of my symptoms!
Following further visits this continues to improve and I can enjoy life in comfort!
This has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
My thanks to Daniela (and team) who has always been positive and helpful.
Following COVID procedure has not helped but it’s business as usual and everything is clean and hygienic.
From my experience, I am no longer being controlled by pain and discomfort. For that I’m truly grateful.

Daniela is amazing, she was very thorough with her consultation I'd never really had problems with my back before but my job was starting to take its toll, but she managed to correct my body posture which was causing the pain,she made sure I understood what she was telling me and how I could go forward to make things better. The clinic is very covid safe and all the staff are very welcoming. I was always greeted with a friendly welcoming smile, if I have any future problems I wouldnt hesitate to return. A very professional team!

I am about to come to the end of my treatment and the difference it has made to my pain levels and mobility is amazing. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, I would not hesitate to go back in the future should I have any problems.

Paul & his team are excellent at what they do. Paul was able to identify exactly what the cause of my back and leg pain was. Right from my initial assessment throughout my course of treatment, I have been treated with dignity, respect and have received the highest quality of a care.

The clinic is spotlessly clean with every measure taken to maintain exceptional hygiene.

I honestly had no idea how much the treatment would change my life. My pain is practically gone after years of me thinking it was normal to experience the symptoms I had been.

I could wholeheartedly recommend BAC to anybody who is struggling along with backache and think that it normal.

I cannot thank Paul enough for his excellent level of care always coupled with his super enthusiastic approach to make a difference to my health.

I have just finished 12 weeks of treatment and would recommend Daniela, she is professional, helpful and sincere about your progress, health and well being. This was my 1st time using a private practice and i was initially apprehensive, my advice would be to do your home work and perseverance is key, it takes time to make progress. Daniela answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable at all times while having treatment, which was important to me, considering treatment is quite hands on at times. I have learnt about my body and how it functions and should function, being educated on what I need to do, to keep my back and shoulder well, I have reduced my back and shoulder pain considerably and have better posture. It was worth my time and money and now my treatment is finished I will be going back once each month to continue to maintain my progress and well being. The guidance I received during the 12 weeks whilst having treatment, i will be able to continue to use now and in the future. A special thank you to Daniela

I’ve been seeing Paul for 8 weeks of treatment and can honestly say that I feel far better now than I did when I first met Paul . He is very knowledgable and has taught me different ways of approaching everyday activities that help along with the treatment to make life more comfortable. The whole team are very professional and friendly they make you feel at ease and I trust Paul’s judgement. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

Paul and Daniel are very helpful, they make you feel welcome as part of their family.

Three months ago i remember walk into the clinic not even bend my back however after initial consultation i was in the care of Daniel she is very professional and know exactly what she was doing, the treatment was spot on and value for money.

I strongly recommend this clinic great people, great environment.

While I was on the massage table, I didn't think much of the treatment. I thought they could've dug in deeper as that would've helped give me some much needed relief. Oh well, I didn't think much of it and left after I was done.
It was until the next day where I was proven wrong! I was very sore but in a good way. My muscles were a lot more loose and free and I felt better than I had in a long time!
I definitely do recommend coming here and getting a massage. I'm sure you'll be as surprised as I was!

I had a massage with Shane and acupuncture with Paul. Both were so friendly, instantly making me feel calm, relaxed and at ease. They were also very professional and knowledgeable, explaining what they were doing every step of the way. I felt great afterwards and Would definitely recommend.

Have been a regular at Paul’s practice over a number of years and quite honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. Paul’s knowledge and advice is second to none. I have had many injuries and ongoing pains from playing rugby and with a combination of massage and acupuncture they have always been rectified. Paul does not believe in keeping you any longer than necessary for treatment which is a reassuring touch when others I have attended have clearly over egged the treatment plan. Keep up the good work Paul and no doubt see you again soon!

Had a good time with the team. They do excellent job and very friendly team i must say. My 30mins session was very useful i can say its good value for money. I will visit again and recommend

Paul and the team are all fantastic, they all make you feel welcome and as part of a family.

After seeing Roisin for initial sports therapy, Paul and Daniela have fixed my posture out and now I have no back pain at all!

THANK YOU!!!!!

I first went to Paul a while ago with what I call computer neck, which was sorted with a course of acupuncture, the pain has never returned. I have since sustained a very painful & debilitating elbow injury & a visit to Paul has, again, been sorted with a course of acupuncture. I took advantage of the free posture assessment, as I slouch & have pain in my hip when walking. After a course of treatment & sticking to the advice given by Daniela, I am walking tall & sitting more comfortably. I attend the clinic once a month to iron out any niggles & keep myself pain free. I cannot praise Paul & his team highly enough. The level of care & service received is exceptional, you are made to feel welcome & at ease from the moment you are greeted by Emma at reception. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone who is looking for drug free pain relief....oh by the way,they listen.

Most of all I value Paul's experience and expertise albeit his sense of humour also comes high on my list. I have had rheumatoid arthritis for 46 years and when I experienced extreme pain in my neck, the physiotherapist suggested that I consider acupuncture. Not only has the pain diminished considerably since the treatment started, I am now also able to move my head from side to side with relative ease. I have no reservations about recommending this clinic to anyone who is considering having a course of treatment here.

As a patient of Paul Clusker for over 15 years, I am full of praise for Paul's professionalism, Skill and care for my well being. Not only is Paul extremely friendly, knowledgeable, Intuitive and sensitive, importantly his techniques often produce immediate results and improvements. Paul has offered considerable advice over the years, along with some 'homework' resulting in me just having to return for some occasional MOT's throughout the year to iron out any minor niggles relating to my lower back pains.
He is an excellent practitioner, heading up a really helpful, accommodating and friendly team.

I came to see Paul when the pain below my right knee had become so intense that when I stood up I was struggling to walk. I had been treated by Paul previously and had faith that he would be able diagnose and treat the problem. Due to poor posture sat at my laptop over several months my back muscles had stretched leading to misalignment of ligaments and joints all the tension was placed at the top of my calf . Paul and Daniella put a treatment plan together.
After several sessions of acupuncture, osteopathy, being made to stand tall and exercises the misalignment was corrected and the pain reduced. My core strength developed as Daniella gradually introduced exercises each week which were manageable and sustainable. I never felt pressurised to do the exercises but motivated to regularly exercise between sessions as I steadily experienced a reduction in pain and an increase in my mobility and agility.
Additionally I had been unable to play tennis and Daniella would not let me play until my core strength had reached an acceptable standard. I was also given exercises specifically designed to improve my coordination.
I am now on the maintenance programme alternating fortnightly between a massage session lasting an hour and a session of osteopathy. This flags up any problems which can be dealt with promptly.
Daniella's enthusiasm and encouragement has been inspiring and motivating and I am grateful to Paul and Roschin who have been involved in my care. Additionally my tennis game is the strongest it has ever been. Thank you to all of you that have worked together to get me back on track.

Good experience and Daniela was very helpful in explaining where i need to improve

If you’re in pain and tired of paying out for terrible massages; try Shane. He is totally competent and enthusiastic about what he does. I have complete trust and after just a few visits and a little “homework” I’m feeling lots better. I always come away feeling revived and upright! I recommended a friend after the very first session because I felt this was a fantastic medical massage treatment.
Each time I have visited, progress has been made. Thanks 😊
