Services
Osteopathy is a safe, hands-on therapy that focuses on the framework of your body, consisting of the bones, ligaments, muscles and connective tissues. Osteopaths assess the condition of this musculo-skeletal system looking for areas of weakness, imbalance and excessive tension or strain.

We use a range of techniques, from soft tissue massage, stretching and joint mobilisation and manipulation in order to treat the cause of pain, rather than the symptoms.By restoring normal function to the musculo-skeletal system it aids your body's natural defence mechanisms to help it return to a state of pain-free health.
On your first appointment you will be asked a series of in-depth questions to explore the symptoms from which you are suffering and your medical history will be taken. This is to ensure that the right diagnosis is reached. A physical examination will then be carried out. This often involves undressing to your underwear so that we can properly assess the problem areas.
Osteopathy is a safe and natural approach. The treatment is tailored to your individual case and as osteopaths use a range of techniques, we will pick those best suited to you. In order to properly assess your posture and movements it is common to be asked to undress to your underwear. Feel free to bring along a pair of shorts, or anything that you are comfortable in.

Visited here recently after several weeks of right lower back pain radiating through my groin area into my right leg. 4 of my friends/relatives had been previously & the practice was highly recommended. The osteopath I saw was Tony, he was highly professional & extremely knowledgeable about my problem, gentle, but firm in his treatments, and I am delighted to say that after 4 visits over 4 weeks I am now pain free. I am still aware if I do too much, and so I am careful what I do & how I do it, but my lower back is so much better now. A huge thank you to Tony, a very pleasant & professional man

Amanda has been absolutely amazing!! Makes you feel really comfortable and at ease, very knowledgable, treats you with dignity & respect - could not recommend enough. I’ve had lots of contact with practitioners and never found one that truly understands & makes a difference until now. Amanda has had such a massive impact on my day to day life - Thank you!

I only attended for 3 sessions due to complications. Tony seemed a nce enough guy. However, after having my spine and neck manipulated i ended up with tinnitus that is still present over a year later. So just a word of caution to those of you who are thinking of having neck or spine manipulation.

Went when I had a pinched nerve which had been going on for over two years and was causing sleep depravation. Tony was amazing he explained what was happening with my back and spine and helped straighten me out. Totally comfortable environment made sure nothing hurt me. I have only had 1 day of pain since going which was brought on by work. He taught me some exercises which are amazing and has made me more aware of the problems that caused my pinched nerve. I reccomended my partner go as soon as I got home for his back pain. We are both now painless!!!

Always been before the covid outbreak.Went today and Tony went above and beyond government guidelines, which is hard in this line of work. Felt all that could be done to make us both safe was.

Highly recommended!
After 18 months of unsuccessful diagnosis within the NHS for hip/foot/back pain, i went here to see Amanda who had a pretty good idea what was wrong within 30 minutes.
I've been able to stop all pain medication as a result of treatment.
I cannot thank Amanda enough for her help.

My daughter was in a lot of pain with her hip.We came here and where the hospital hadn't been able to her, she walked out, crutch free from her appointment. They are very friendly and professional. Would recommend anyone in pain to go.

Thank you Tony for persevering and releasing trapped nerves in neck causing numbness/pins+needles down both arms + loss of grip. Affecting balance causing falls and difficulty processing speech. A huge difference I can now go out on my own again.
