Everything you need to know about our osteopathic services, treatments, and what to expect.
Osteopathy is a recognised form of healthcare in the UK that focuses on how the body’s structure and movement affect pain, function, and overall wellbeing.
Osteopaths use hands-on assessment and treatment to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support recovery from injury, strain, or long-standing musculoskeletal problems. Treatment is tailored to the individual and considers how symptoms are affecting daily life, work, and activity.
We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. These commonly include:

Early assessment and appropriate treatment can often help prevent problems from becoming longer-term.
That’s completely normal. If you’re unsure, you’re very welcome to contact the clinic to discuss your symptoms before booking. We’re happy to help you decide whether an appointment would be appropriate.
Coming to see an osteopath for the first time can feel a bit daunting — especially if you’re in pain or unsure what will happen. Our aim is to make your first visit clear, comfortable, and genuinely helpful.
Your appointment will begin with a thorough conversation about what’s been going on for you. Your osteopath will ask about:
Some questions may not seem directly related, but they help us build a complete picture and rule out anything important. From this, your osteopath will begin to form:
If examination is appropriate, we’ll ask you to undress to your underwear so we can properly assess how your body is moving (comfortable, sensible underwear is helpful). We will:
Everything is explained as we go — you’ll always know what we’re doing and why.
If it’s safe and appropriate to proceed, treatment can begin during the same session. Treatment is always carried out with your consent, and you can stop or change anything at any point. We use our hands — not machines — to assess and treat the body, using techniques such as:
These approaches aim to:
Before you leave, your osteopath will:
If further investigation or referral is needed, we’ll explain this clearly and can write to your GP or specialist if required.
Our goal is that you leave feeling informed, reassured, and clear about the plan.
At follow-up appointments, we’ll check how you’ve responded to treatment, discuss any changes, and adjust your care accordingly. Treatment remains collaborative — we’re always happy to answer questions or explain anything further. Clear communication is a priority for us, and we want you to feel comfortable and involved at every stage.

Andrew Taylor Still was born in 1828, Virginia, USA and is the founder of Osteopathy. He trained as a doctor which was the only type of medical education available at the time. As time passed, he did not go down the beaten track with his peers. The practice of administering large quantities of crude drugs and the general use of alcohol from Dr Stills point of view were inappropriate. This led him to search for new treatments for illness, which subsequently developed into his research for the application of physical treatment. This new treatment was the birth of what Dr Still called ‘Osteopathy’.
In 1892 Dr Still initiated a school in Kirksville, Missouri to teach Osteopathy. From here it came to the UK around the turn of the century. In London, 1917, the first school of Osteopathy was founded, and eventually other schools and colleges followed.
