Caryn Seniscal's Testimonials
Neck problems
"I have suffered intractable neck problems caused by rear-end automobile collisions on three separate occasions. I was unable to turn my head fully from side to side. After years of unsuccessful treatment by other therapists, I was fortunate to come across Caryn. I now seldom experience pain and stiffness in my neck and I am able to parallel park my car with ease. I never thought that I would ever experience relief in an area that has plagued me for over 30 years "

Facilitation of post-surgical recovery
"Recently I have undergone open heart surgery where I received a triple bypass procedure. My recovery from this operation has been greatly facilitated by treatment with Caryn. I experienced much discomfort in the area of the chest incision as well as in my left leg region where incisions were made to extract the saphenous vein. Caryn reduced the swelling in my left leg so I can exercise easier and she released the tension and restriction in my chest and all around the scar. I was all bent over and now I can straighten up and walk normally."

Head trauma
"I had almost given up when I was referred to Caryn. I had been in chronic pain from a head trauma and whiplash caused by a motor vehicle accident a number of years ago. I was unable to find relief even though I have seen medical specialists and tried alternative forms of therapy. My treatments with Caryn have made a dramatic difference! The intensity of the pain is greatly reduced and I’m starting to do things again in my life that I haven’t done in years. I feel like I’ve found myself again and I have my life back! "

Shoulder and knee injury
"Caryn skillfully assessed and treated a soft tissue injury I had sustained to my shoulder. Her treatments alleviated the pain which had been very intense and ever increasing. She offered advice about exercises and gave me guidance about improving my posture. My only regret is that I had not been aware of Caryn’s osteopathic treatments sooner following my initial injury. "

Deirdre's Testimonials
“If it weren’t for Deirdre and her magic hands I wouldn’t be as mobile as I am. I have scoliosis, degenerative discs, spondylolisthesis, and the list goes on. I had never heard of osteopathy until the physiotherapist I had been seeing for 3 years started taking the course and was so impressed with it he sent me to Deirdre and said “If anyone can help you it’s Deirdre Byrne.”
- Joanne C.
“My first visit to Deirdre Byrne was for sleeping difficulties due to arthritic pain in my hips. I was a candidate for a hip replacement at the age of 43, and was taking prescription pain medication to get through day to day activities. After 2 seesions with Deirdre using a combination of Gunns IMS, osteopathy and physical therapy techniques, I discontinued the pain medications. My sleeping improved and I resumed downhill skiing and regular workouts. I became a regular patient of Deirdre’s and delayed a hip replacement for 6 years. New technological advances allowed me to get a hip resurfacing procedure which preserves more bone and allows for a normal replacement when it ultimately wears out (15-25 years). Thanks to Deirdre, my quality of life improved and I delayed a major joint replacement until better options were invented, tested and proven.”

“After years of knee problems and visits to physiotherapists and specialists, I was on a waiting list for a knee arthroscopy when a friend referred me to Deirdre. After 2 visits with Deirdre I received a call from the orthopaedic surgeon with a surgery date for the following week. After waiting so long for that call I was surprised to find myself tell them I had found someone I believed was going to be able to help me and I wanted to postpone the arthroscopy. I never did call back to reschedule. I am profoundly grateful to have found someone of Deirdre’s calibre. Her knowledge, skills and genuine caring manner have helped me tremendously over the last number of years and not only with my knee. With enthusiasm and total confidence I refer people to Deirdre at every opportunity.”

"Deirdre Byrne has saved the quality of my life! Until I found Deirdre I couldn’t walk for more than a block without hobbling. I went to doctors for years and no one could tell me what was wrong. Deirdre realised things were out of alignment and with her osteopathic treatments I can now walk for miles. I also have major sinus headaches. Her craniosacral treatments are the only treatment that has worked for my sinus problems. Amazing!”
