TESTIMONIALS – WHAT PEOPLE SAY!

Mrs. L. B., Leeds.
"Isobel’s thirst for knowledge and new skills sets her at the top of her class.  Never one to rest on her laurels, she’s an inspiration and a terrific practitioner.  She has treated me on numerous occasions over the years using a variety of therapies and techniques, and never claims the credit for her successes.  She just thinks that fortune has been kind to her – I believe she has a special gift and well deserves the fruits of her labours."

Mr. J. C., Preston.
"Isobel’s open and relaxed manner make every session informative and fun.  She explains what she is doing and why, in easy layman’s language, so the healing process becomes a partnership – a blending of energies.  Simple devices such as a liquorice allsort and a lump of blu-tack make effective teaching aids, and remind one of her long and illustrious teaching career before changing direction in 1996."

Miss H.A., Garstang.
“Healing Hands is a vocation for Isobel, not just a job.  At Healing Hands, you receive Isobel’s special healing ministry where high quality treatments, time and patience are at the centre.  I recommend Isobel wholeheartedly – a very caring and genuine person.” 

Mrs. A. V., Morecambe.
“As a client of many months’ standing, I can say that – being a bit phobic about painkilling drugs – I found exactly the back pain relief I needed from just one visit.

“I have continued with my visits for back, shoulder, neck and head massage because I know I can now live a painfree life – thanks to those healing hands.  I have been treated throughout by Isobel Hamid, whose knowledge and skills are second to none and whose witty and lively personality adds a joy to every treatment.” 

Mr. P. K., Lancaster.
I have been having massages from Isobel for seven years – I think that says it all! 

Mr. H. O., Quernmore, Lancaster.
“As recently as a couple of years ago, I was of the opinion that, as you approach your 70th year, you simply had to accept that general wear and tear, and the odd old injury, would begin to cause you increasing discomfort.

“Specifically, I was experiencing neck pain in the car and throughout the night, lower back pain due to thinning discs, and big toe pain from an old break that was becoming arthritic.

“The discomfort had reached the stage where it was seriously affecting my quality of life, when a colleague suggested I had a word with Isobel Hamid at the ‘Healing Hands’ clinic, and fortunately I did.

“Without making any exaggerated predictions, Isobel thought she could help and I began to visit her weekly.  Within a month there was a marked improvement in all my areas of concern and this improvement has now reached the stage where I no longer accept that old age and debilitating joint pain need to be endured.

“I am now aware that Isobel’s talents and knowledge go way beyond the physiotherapy that is the focus of our weekly sessions, and I will always be grateful to her for recommending a Podiatrist colleague.  Together they have given me back the pleasure of painfree walking too!”

Mrs. J. B., Brookhouse.
“I recently had the misfortune to suffer injury to my right hand in a road accident.  My fingers, hand and wrist were broken in three places and had to be set and immobilised at the RLI.  I could not use the hand in any way whatsoever for several weeks, and the pain was excruciating whenever I knocked it.

“Finally the breaks healed and the protective cover was removed by a nurse at the hospital.  Unfortunately this left me with what I can only describe as a yellow-and-black swollen, misshapen, immovable hook of a hand that bore no resemblance to the one I had before the accident.

“Being right-handed, and the full-time carer of my seriously incapacitated husband, John, I was desperate to get the hand back in use as soon as possible.  However, the RLI had not offered me physiotherapy, or even a leaflet to help with the recovery, so I took the advice of a friend and visited the ‘Healing Hands’ clinic.

“As soon as I met the proprietor Isobel Hamid I knew I had done the right thing.  Carefully, gently, and with great skill, she restored the shape and feeling to my fingers and wrist, and soothed away the pain with massage and ultrasound.

“In all, it took three sessions over three weeks, and in between times I religiously followed the daily exercises she set for me.  Now, another week on, I’m pleased to be able to say that I have now virtually recovered the full use of my hand and have been told that no further treatment is necessary – unless I have a setback.

“I am so pleased with the treatment, care and consideration that I received from Isobel that I now recommend her services wherever I go.”
