REVIEWS
To help you gain a bit more insight into how I work, some patients have kindly left some comments in my ‘Visitor’s Book’ which you can read below or you can see more on Google.
PREVENTION AND GOOD FUNCTION.
I’ve been seeing Matt for a few years now and cannot recommend him enough. He’s extremely knowledgeable and professional. Matt really listens to you and always performs a full exam to assess the health of my body or any pain I may have. He’s very caring and gentle, and always gives valuable advice to help with recovery and prevention too. Matt has treated me for back pain, knee injury, ligaments and joints pain. Even if I don’t have any pain/injury, I make sure to see him at least once a year for prevention (I always say a ‘MOT’ for the body to re-align everything!) so Matt helps me maintain a good function of my body (as it’s vital as a yoga teacher).
Again – highly recommended! Thank you Matt.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OSTEOPATHY.
I am so pleased to have found Matt Brabner at Natural Balance. After many years of severe neck and back pain Matt has devised a programme that has helped immensely. Very thorough first consultation followed by weekly visits and now monthly. Very grateful to be in such good hands.
Peter, Hove.
BACK TO THE GYM.
I would highly recommend Matt to anyone. I was completely locked up and hardly able to walk with a lower back problem probably caused by repetitive gym work and years of poor posture. Matt quickly identified the problem and within two sessions I was back walking with freedom and generally pain free and now after two more sessions I’m ready to start exercising again after months of inactivity. I really was beginning to lose hope but Matt’s ultra professional treatment and encouragement has worked wonders.

SUNDAY OSTEOPATHY IN HOVE.
I have been to see Matt Brabner for Osteopathy at Natural Balance on and off for the last few years for my lower back. He is extremely knowledgeable, very gentle and always demonstrates some home exercises that will help. I have always been able to get an appointment with him within a day or two of getting in touch, and I find that he offers appointments in Hove on a Sunday very useful! Also I have recommended him to quite a few of my friends, – all of whom have come back to say how amazing he is too! I would highly recommend Matt.

LOW BACK PAIN.
Matt Brabner has rescued me from two very painful back injuries that stopped me from functioning normally. He listens, is understanding, has a good sense of humour & knows the human body extremely well. The exercises he gave to me are 1st class & I highly recommend him.

LOCKDOWN VIDEO CALLS.
I am so glad I contacted Matt during lock down, following long term pain of more than 18 months. (Sciatic type pain and SI joint pain), which was debilitating and getting worse. I was feeling pretty hopeless and was worried that soon I wouldn’t be able to walk outside at all. Matt really listened. He devised and guided me through a program of exercises with regular check ins and progress reviews, and all via video link, which worked amazingly well! It hasn’t been an overnight miracle cure (these don’t work), but real and steady progress over a few sessions and weeks. I’m walking at distance and at a normal pace now, with minimal to no discomfort. I can’t thank you or recommend you enough Matt.

MANAGING PERSISTENT BACK AND HIP PAIN.
Matt is a life saver! I have suffered with chronic back and hip problems but under Matt’s management, and brilliant osteo, I can move freely and without pain. I now manage my condition with regular visits and it’s such an improvement on where I was a few years ago. I recommend Matt to all my friends and colleagues and they all say the same thing. He’s brilliant!

BACK TO STANDING.
I was suffering with lower back pain which prevented me from standing for more than a couple of hours at a time. (very limiting as I love to see live music standing up!) Matt was recommended to me by a friend who sang his praises. I was very impressed by his professionalism and we spent lots of time going over my personal history and potential reasons for my ailment. Then through some simple guided bending and movements, Matt identified areas of tightness that had formed over years of long distance running and no proper stretching. He did some work on my back and hips and sent me off with some exercises to do at home, which I (mostly) did. After my second session with Matt I had a whole day on my feet and was delighted to realise that I had NO BACK PAIN at the end of the day. I am having a couple more sessions with Matt, as I want to make sure that I am on the road to no more back pain, but cannot praise this chap enough…

FIRST OSTEOPATHY VISIT.
Matt has been amazing! He treated my father in just a few sessions and made him love osteopathy, in which he didn’t believe much until then! Absolutely a professional with a great gentle attitude! Definitely recommended!
Fani, London.
HELPING PERSISTENT ACHES & PAINS.
Matt has been a total lifesaver for me. I have walked in to the clinic in pain and walked out with a straight back, feeling free and flexible. He has helped me with various long term back problems which massage was unable to sort out. Additionally, after a fall I then had a problem with my hip which he also resolved. Matt is gentle, kind, friendly, experienced and I would have no hesitation in recommending him, whether you have major or minor aches and pains.
Lou, Hove.
A SUNDAY APPOINTMENT IN HOVE.
An excellent and very thorough consultation, followed by treatment which was explained fully at every stage. Matt was very professional and friendly, and the fact that he offers appointments at Hove on a Sunday is very useful if you are at work during the week or going away the next day as I was! His treatment was followed up by an e-mail with exercises to help my problem. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing an osteopathy appointment
Clare, West Sussex.
BACK TO RUNNING.
Matt has been one of the best Osteopaths I have ever had the pleasure to meet. His professionalism and knowledge has been outstanding. I had severe injuries twice, once from over exercising and second time I had an accident, he has not only put me back on my feet but also has been an amazing support in doing that! Matt I am forever grateful for everything you have done for me, I have recommended you to everyone since and I am always thinking of you when I go for runs as it is thanks to you that I can do them still!
Sabina, London.
HIP PAIN IN HOVE.
I visited Matt because of a pain I’d developed in my hip from running. I was so impressed by how thorough Matt was, taking the time to really understand everything about my history and lifestyle, not just my self diagnosis! Matt explained everything about my diagnosis and treatment in layman’s terms which put me at ease. I found the treatment really relaxing and if I’d been in Hove longer would definitely have gone back for a massage!
After the treatment, Matt emailed instructions for my follow up exercises, including videos showing me how to do them. Incredibly useful, as even though I’d practiced them in the treatment room, I’d forgotten them by the time I walked out the door! To top it off, as I was only visiting Hove, he even recommended a practitioner in my home town in case I needed follow up treatment and said he could send on my notes. Would absolutely recommend.

KNEE PAIN & HEELS.
I started to visit Matt as I had injured my knee at work. I had twisted it on a stairwell whilst carrying a heavy load. It was uncomfortable to walk generally and excruciating when wearing heels, it was also making some strange creaking and clicking sounds. I was recommended to him through a friend and I was impressed from the off.
He took a detailed history and then followed with a thorough investigation. It was pretty inflamed and sore everywhere so an immediate exact diagnosis wasn’t possible. Then he explained that it could have been one of two things and he came up with a treatment plan. His professional and calm manner put me at ease straight away. He certainly knows his stuff and he explained exactly what he was going to do and why. I went away armed with a couple of simple exercises and after just one appointment the improvement was significant.
A few sessions later, my condition had massively improved and I was well on the road to full recovery, I was able to resume normal activities without discomfort. Matt is a lovely, knowledgable and approachable Osteopath and I am sincerely grateful for his help. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.
