Stonehouse Holistic Centre and Medical Clinic

I was suffering with extremely painful tendentious and had exhausted all avenues. I heard about Stonehouse Holistics and thought I would give it a go. I haven’t looked back, three weeks later and I’m still pain free and loving life again. Highly recommended. Thanks

I have attended the Class since the beginning of this year following a decline in my personal abilities and mobility, especially noted after suffering from Covid. Various ailments had worsened especially arthritis in my hands, back pain, memory challenges and ability to concentrate. At almost 80 years of age, a lot of blame could be placed on the passing of the years, but since I commenced the classes, I have felt many improvements to my health and well-being. The effect has enabled me to undertake more activities in a positive frame of mind and to enjoy the company of a group of people who are open and supportive and who enhance the excellent teaching given by Chris Handbury....

When I first turned up for treatment I was in so much back pain and anxious that I could not recover. I struggled in so many ways that I had previously not considered when thinking of back problems and felt despondent. Chris worked in a professional and confident manner, inspiring hope. I am now feeling so grateful that I am back living my life!... (Show more)

On-going complex chronic condition Chris is an exceptional practioner in every way. His breath of knowledge and expertise coupled with his caring and holistic approach are phenomenal. I have a very complex condition and Chris has created a safe, open space in which we can explore my health needs together. I feel that he is walking alongside me on my journey to a healthier mind and body. I cannot recommend him, his climic or lessons enough to anyone who is on their own health journey.... (Show more)

I visited Stonehouse holistic centre after suffering for several months with TMJ. After just one session I was amazed how much my condition had improved. Highly recommend Chris

A baffling and most unhelpful experience - I went for neck and full back pain from muscle tension, spent 10 mins tunia massage only on neck, then rest of time acupuncture, then referred me to another specialist, as he couldn't help me with no offer of a refund.

I've been doing Qigong with Chris for 3 years now. Classes are fun and informative. Brilliant for mind and body. . I live with ME/CFS and have noticed improvement in my muscle tone, range of movement, balance and post-crash recovery times. I would highly recommend Qigong with Chris for anyone of any age or fitness level wanting to reduce stress and/or improve their health and fitness. I have also had a couple of treatments from Chris at his clinic. I really noticed reduced pain levels and an improvement in energy. As an added bonus my sleep also improved.... (Show more)

A couple of friends said how good qigong was and got me to go along with them. Three years later and I'm still going and love it. If I've had a bad day, all stressed out, don't feel like going - I always feel calmer and more relaxed after. Just give it a go, you may become hooked as well. P.S. Met some really nice people as well.... (Show more)

Gail and I have been using Chris for a long while now and find him to be very good at is job and would recommend to anyone who might be in a lot of pain to go and see him and get sorted out by Chris. He as a 5 star service.

Having broken my shoulder 5 years ago, I met Chris for treatment on my frozen shoulder. Chris successfully treated my frozen shoulder and during my sessions discussed Qigong. I have always been a keen sportsman and continue to cycle regularly and attend the gym. Having now been practicing Qigong for 5 years I find it excellent for complimenting my other training, assisting in giving me a overall balance of body and mind. Even after 5 years I still find so many different avenues within Qigong on how it assists me both physically and mentally. Physically I have found it has aligned my body and over come previous back issues. Mentally it constantly assists me in keeping me calmer and more controlled both personally and professionally in how I approach issues as they arise. Lessons with Chris constantly evolve, with a recent lesson taking me into a zone I have never previously experienced. I highly recommend.... (Show more)

When I had slipped discs in my back and was having a terrible time! Chris was amazing! His brilliant attitude and approach was amazing and totally made me feel better

After suffering with severe TMJ that causes my jaw to lock and have severe pain and migraines, I was thrown from specialist to specialist and just fed more and more painkillers. I was given the details of chris by an out of hours GP after a bad attack of pain. At first I was very skeptical but with nothing to lose I attended the first appointment where he was the first person to really listen and seem to care about what was happening to me. After only 6 sessions I found I was no longer getting migraines and I could eat a steak for the first time in a year . I was also off almost all of the pain killers. Chris is always professional and explains every step of the procedure and why he is doing things. He also listens to what is going on and is always adjusting the treatment to treat as much as possible. After nearly 2 years of seeing traditional doctors this is the only thing that has helped me and for that I cannot thank Chris enough.... (Show more)

I have received excellent care and treatment. My anxiety improved after one session and my eating disorder that I have had for years, over a number of sessions is steadily improving also. I highly recommend Christopher as a therapist.

After visiting a chiropractor for years and spending hundreds of pounds for a back issue, only for it to come back in 6 weeks after every appointment I decided to try something different. A Google search lead me to the Stonehouse holistic centre after looking at myofacial trigger points. 2 sessions with with christopher and it was gone for good! He takes the time to really understand the problem, looking at the whole body, not just the physical nuts and bolts but emotions too. I have since seen him several time for different issues and can say that I never fail to feel better and stronger after a visit. I have also completed a Qigong course which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend going to see Chris if you are struggling with any issues, he seems to work miracles!... (Show more)

I first visited Chris back in 2017 whilst going through my first IVF cycle. Accupuncture was recommended to me for early infertility and during IVF. I was very lucky and fell pregnant first time. I visited Chris again last week between egg collection and transfer, so fingers crossed we get the same outcome. I would highly recommend Chris. If you’re experiencing infertility problems or have any health issues give acupuncture a go.... (Show more)

I have been attending Qi Gong classes with Chris for 2 years. He is an excellent instructor, his style promotes confident learning by not over- correcting at first and introducing the detail to continiously improve as we go along. He also takes individual differences and health problems into account. Classes motivating and fun.... (Show more)

After feeling fed up that even Yoga had proved difficult with my stiff and painful joints, I did a bit of research and felt that Qi Gong may be an alternative I could try. One term in and I have found that this gentle exercise option is helping me to feel calm, more flexible and so I will definitely be carrying on. There is a lot to learn, but I'm excited about the results so far. Thanks Chris.... (Show more)

Being a decorator and working with my arms and shoulders constantly, I visit Christopher roughly every 3-4 months. His treatments are fantastic and really help keep my aches and pains at bay. I always recommend him to my colleagues and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others too. Great treatment and service.... (Show more)

I have been receiving treatment from Chris for the last few years now and I can honestly say he has changed my life. I have suffered with sciatica and neck pain and Chris never fails in making me feel a million times better each visit. Chris is highly professional and experienced in his field and I without doubt recommend him to anyone that is suffering with any pain or stress. I honestly believe this man to have magic in his hands! Chris instantly puts you at ease during your appointment and explains in detail his thoughts on treatment and gives advice on how to help improve your health. Since receiving treatment from Chris, I honestly would not go anywhere else.... (Show more)

I have been seeing Chris for years for maintainence massage and acupuncture.
