I am a qualified Mental Health
Nurse and when injured at work I seriously damaged my wrist. I underwent investigative surgery and was told I would need an
extensive operation including a bone graft and pins being inserted. With two young children and being left hand dominant this
was not good news. I decided to try 'alternative' therapies which to be honest I was very sceptical of. Then I met Tony!!
Within 6 sessions I was able
to use my hand again, was pain free and had been given the space, time and support from Tony to enable me to deal with the
psychological trauma of the event.
Two years on, my wrist is
completely back to normal. Something the medical profession said could never happen without surgery. When I informed my consultant
of my recovery I was very disappointed at his inability to acknowledge the role Chi Healing played in this. It certainly highlights
the need for more research to be carried out and to work towards establishing a far more holistic approach to health
care.
I have subsequently attended
several courses and learnt more in the course on Oppressive Patterns & Mental Abuse than in 3 years of Mental Health Nurse
Training! I have adapted the way I work and indeed continue to do so as I become more aware of these issues.
The impact Tony has made
on my life and consequentially that of my family has been life changing and positive. I cannot explain what Tony does, but
no longer feel the need to. What I do know is that what Tony and Vicky have created at the Chi Clinic is an environment where
healing and self development occurs on so many levels and for that I am eternally grateful.

This was indeed a case of incorrect or insufficient comprehension of the injury by others who made assumptions and
did not consider what had caused the injury.
The interosseous membrane between the radius and ulnar had collapsed and was ‘kinked’. By manipulation, I was able to straighten the injury which allowed the cells to reform to the correct position.
This is a common injury in Martial arts and one that I have seen many times and treated successfully.

I had severe back pain in
the lumbar region, I found the chi clinic on the internet. I had suffered with my back problem for approx 1yr. I had been all the way down western medical
route with no luck and not even knowing what was wrong with my back. After the 1st session at the Chi Clinic with Tony Hardiman
I knew that I had a slipped disc in the lumbar region and a torn muscle in the middle section of my back, Tony managed to
back the muscles off in my back an allow the ligament to pull the disc back near to its original position. I had a slip
on the ice after this an the disc slipped forwards. I had another treatment
and was told the cusps that hold the disc may be damaged. Tony again managed
to get the disc back to near its original position returning some movement and bringing some pain relief to me (as much
pain relief as when I was on the buphrenorphine (opium) patches).
Tony believes that this is
as much as he can do for me and that i may have to make some lifestyle changes due to my back problems. However I cannot stress
enough the amazing job Tony has done with my back and I would highly recommend the Chi Clinic to anyone with back problems.
Tony Hardiman also managed
to sort out a minor neck problem I have had for 14 yrs from a roller skating accident in the first session ( I could
never do chin to chest after the accident and then after Tony's treatment, I could).

I first attended the Chi Clinic in January 2007 on recommendation from my daughter, I had been having pain in my wrists
for some while and had had physiotherapy, which did not help.
Also i had suffered with very bad sinus headaches for years. I had
tried all the conventional treatments, to no avail.
I am a very stressful person and found that the more stress i was under, the greater the pain. After my first treatment
i found that the pain had eased and i felt very relaxed. Just entering the
Chi Clinic has a calming effect, i can't explain it in words.
In May 2007 I sustained a shoulder injury and saw a specialist through BUPA. I was given painful injections and told
to exercise. The condition was not improving even with Physiotherapy. After four
months I asked for Tony's opinion, he treated my shoulder and even after one session the pain had improved greatly, for which
i am totally grateful. I now know that i should have seen Tony first and gone down his line of treatment.
I have been attending on a regular basis to date and have been treated for many different types of pain/stress. I have
now realised that I can control my stress by relaxing, something that i would not have been able to do before Tony's treatments.
My family have commented on the change in me and that I am a lot calmer, for them to comment say's a lot to me. I can only thank Tony for his treatments and wish i had discovered 'alternative' therapy
many years ago. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony to family and friends.

Prior to visiting 'The Chi Clinic' I had had an operation the previous September to relieve a hiatus hernia
which I had been suffering with for 3 years before the operation. Before the operation I was suffering with vomiting
and reflux which caused me problems on a daily basis. After the operation I couldn't shift the tiredness, the gagging or
the diarrhoea. I had been to visit my GP and had numerous blood tests and a stool test done all of these came back negative except
for a deficiency in vitamin B12. Due to the tiredness which was taking control of my life I had no concentration or energy
and ended up with depression. I was sleeping 10 -12 hours at night and still falling asleep during the day. I was unable to
brush my teeth due to gagging and wretching first thing in the morning. I was constantly queasy and was uninterested in eating
until late in the day which didn't help my lack of energy. I was also constantly suffering with diarrhoea. By the time
January came I was unable to control things around me and it became obvious to the people around me that I was unable
to carry on in this way. A colleague and friend who knows Tony well suggested I pay him a visit. I was at the end of my reason
trying to find help from my own GP and I had heard only good reports about 'The Chi Clinic' as both my father and a number
of my colleagues had previously been to visit Tony with a number of different issues. So I decided it was worth making
the trip from Ireland to see if he could
help. And aren't I glad I did. Tony used a treatment called hand reflexology to alleviate the problems I could feel in my
stomach. Tony stuck a pin into my hand in 3 different places of my hand and as he did this I could feel the tension release
from my stomach. The results from the treatment were instantaneous immediately after the treatment I was able to eat freely,
there was no more gagging whilst brushing my teeth. It worked perfectly, a couple of days later I returned to Tony for an
MOT massage and felt rejuvenated after this. It was the first time I'd actually felt well in years. I will go back to Tony
for treatment and would recommended him to everyone. I believe Tony has an amazing ability to heal people and if I lived
in the UK I'd be there all time.

I certify that the above is a true record of the events to the best of my knowledge.
C……..a
is my eldest daughter and had a happy disposition since childhood. She was always open and friendly with people and interested
in others’ concerns.
Some time back, C………a developed a hiatus hernia problem and the knock-on
effects of reflux issues caused her great distress and personal embarrassment. This effected her private and work-life quite
severely and impacted detrimentally on her confidence. Her efforts to lose weight through exercise were hampered significantly
which caused further depression.
After a very serious operation in September 2007, she began the process of recuperation
and although the reflux issue seemed to have improved significantly, her general state of depression and tiredness was of
great concern. The situation had become obvious to the outside world and as a consequence of a discussion I had with J….n
D….r, a friend and colleague, we agreed that C……..a would derive benefit from a visit to Tony Hardiman at
The Chi Clinic, as both of us had been patients at the Clinic in the past.
I arranged with J……… for
C……..to spend a week with her and she travelled over from Ireland
for this purpose.
After her first visit, the results and effects were remarkable. When she rang me after the first
visit, I thought that I was talking to the girl I had not heard in several years. She was bright, happy, positive and exhilarated.
We spoke for over a hour as she walked through a local park area. At no stage did she seem
