If you have been trying to contact us recently and found us to be continually engaged that is because there is a fault on our telephone line. Osteopathy is a very effective form of manual therapy, and treatment aims to relieve your pain and improve your body's function. Osteopathic treatment helps a wide range of patients of all ages by treating joints, muscles and ligaments, using a variety of techniques to suit each individual.
Osteopathy is very effective because not only is your immediate local problem diagnosed and treated, but also any predisposing factors are identified and treated i.e. the body is examined as a whole. This is important because if one part of the body is restricted, then the rest of the body compensates, which can cause pain elsewhere.

Cranial osteopathy is a very gentle, safe and effective form of osteopathy, which is suitable for all ages from adults, to babies and children. Although the name implies only the head is treated, any part of the body can be treated cranially. On your first appointment (45-60 minutes) you will have a detailed case history, examination, manual treatment and advice.

Andrew is brilliant, he helped our 2 and half week old baby in just 3 sessions. He explained everything clearly and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very patient with our son Ollie and every time we left a session Ollie was so relaxed he slept for a couple of hours straight! Thank you again!

Cranial osteopathy premature baby
Andrew has been treating our daughter, after a traumatic birth and some serious health conditions, our little girl was unsettled and having difficulties with feeding, reflux and going to the toilet.
Andrew listened to all our concerns and started treatment. He was very gentle and our daughter seemed to really relax in his safe hands.
We have seen a great improvement in her feeding and toilet issues, as well as her reflux. She is generally much happier and relaxed since our sessions began. I would highly recommend the Billericay osteopathic clinic.

My son stopped sleeping aged 4 months. He hated the car seat and the buggy and refused to sleep for more than 20 to 30 min at a time. After a few months of this torture and having tried everything including gp visits, sleep consultants, etc etc a friend recommended osteopathy. We saw Andrew and within 1 session the relentless crying in the car stopped. After the second session my son started to sleep for 2 to 3 hours at a stretch and now after 4 sessions he is in his own room, in his cot sleeping through the night for a solid 10 to 12 hours. No waking, no crying. My only regret is that I didn't

I first heard of Andrew through my brother and close friend visiting him to help them with their babies with cranial problems. They both highly recommended him.
When I became ill with headaches and neck problems, I thought Andrew might be able to help me with cranial massage. He really
helped me with my problem, and made a big difference to my recovery.
I recently have had problems with my lower back and have complete faith that he will now be able to help me with that too.

Sadly very disappointed with Andrews attitude and Ignorance.
I have a complicated Neurological Condition, that I was looking for some help with some possible relief with the pain, which is widely recognised by medical Professionals worldwide as one of the worst known pains to mankind and I explained that I was under the care of a group of leading National and International consultant and Worldwide Specialist Surgeons (Australia, Germany and the USA), at Guys and St Thomas’s Hospital, who are experts specialists in this field of medicine and they only specialises in my specific Neurological condition

My baby daughter had terrible colic and difficulty turning her head to one side due to being breech throughout my pregnancy. We went to Andrew for cranial osteopathy and she's now like a completely different baby! Andrew always made my daughter feel completely at ease and is professional and friendly. At 16 weeks old her issues are now fixed thanks to Andrew. I highly recommend.
