Ranza Review
Ranza Barr D.O.Bsc (Hons) Ost
David Hughes - July 2017
"I have been a patient at Wakefield Osteopaths for over two years now. My regular Osteopath is Ranza Barr who uses a range of approaches, including Visceral Osteopathy, which means she can help with a range of internal conditions. I have suffered with a hiatus hernia for a number of years. It seemed to manifest itself after surgery and made my life a misery until I found out about Visceral Osteopathy and Ranza. I was looking for treatment which does not involve invasive surgery, and Ranza's treatment goes a long way towards mitigating the symptoms I suffer from. I used to get terrible acid reflux, attacks of bloating and chest pains which my GPs tell me feels like an angina attack (I do not suffer from angina). I was on quite large doses of drugs which inhibit the ability of the stomach to produce acid. The purpose of these drugs is to lessen the severity of, or rule out, attacks of acid reflux, unfortunately, these drugs come with a host of unwanted side effects. Now, thanks to Ranza's treatment and advice, I have been able to cut my intake of these drugs right down. I use them more or less as a standby these days.
Ranza has also put me on a program of exercise to strengthen my core muscles and improve my diaphragm, which lessens the discomfort of my hiatus hernia. I also have mobility issues, and as Ranza is a highly qualified practitioner of Traditional Osteopathy, she also helps me with musculo-skeletal issues. Ranza is a highly skilled and knowledgeable Osteopath who has helped me greatly.
The ladies on the reception are very friendly and helpful, and will go out of their way to help you, for instance if you cannot get an appointment on your chosen day, they will phone you and let you know if a cancellation comes up. I would not hesitate to recommend Wakefield Osteopaths to any potential patient."
