Services
The whole team at Forte Physical Health are passionate about getting you to the peak of your powers. Chris grew up with a passion for studying human form and function and wanted to be an osteopath at the age of 13. He finally achieved his dream when graduating from the British School of Osteopathy in 2008.
We provide a range of services in our Chelmsford clinic to help you maintain full health and fitness by treating injuries with osteopathy and massage, advising you on nutrition and general wellness and helping you with preparation for sporting events or meeting your own personal challenges.
Because of our great services, free parking and easy transport links we have regular patients from Chelmsford, Writtle, Ingatestone, Boreham, Felsted, Baddow and Galleywood - and hopefully you too!

We want to make sure you have all the information you need and feel very comfortable visiting our clinic for an assessment or treatment. Firstly, wearing clothes that you feel comfortable moving in will help us greatly in the assessment and treatment. We can treat through light clothing like gym gear, but it is very difficult to treat effectively through jeans and smarter clothing like a shirt and trousers which is less flexible.
We love being Chelmsford's osteopaths and we are very proud of our town. We are located in the centre of the city with free parking at our clinic and easy access by rail from Chelmsford station or by bus with a lot of buses stopping right outside in Parkway. We are a 10-15 minute walk from the mainline train station.
We are proud of our reputation and the fact that so many other online organisations, business and information sites link to us for our expertise. Because of our great services, free parking and easy transport links we have regular patients from Chelmsford, Writtle, Ingatestone, Boreham, Felsted, Baddow and Galleywood - and hopefully you too!

I can't recommend Forte highly enough. Niro was my osteopath for several months and was very warm, professional and thorough. His suspected diagnosis was confirmed by an MRI and he helped me to manage my pain via treatment until I needed to have surgery to resolve the problem fully. The ​practice is very clean and covid safe. Should I need an osteopath again I won't hesitate to go back.

Niro was just brilliant. I'd never been to an Osteopath before and was a bit nervous but Niro did a great job of putting my at ease and chatting to me to make sure I could relax. The treatment was efficient and stress free, and most importantly, I am no longer in pain.
The initial online booking system was great and very easy to use- I could… chose the level of therapist I wanted then pick who and see what available slots they had. After the first appointment Niro just booked me in again at a convenient time at the end of each session, making it all very fuss free.
I would highly recommend

Fantastic and professional service by Chris. I had left a note on my booking prior to my visit as I had never visited an osteopath before and was a little apprehensive, especially during these strange times - Chris responded very promptly and put my mind at ease straight away. He was extremely informative during the appointment and I left feeling a few feet taller! Since then, my back has improved rapidly and I am continuing the recommended stretches at home. The clinic itself is spotless and Chris has taken more than appropriate measures to ensure that the guidelines are followed. I will certainly

It was my first time ever going to an Osteopath with my neck/shoulder pain so was naturally a little bit nervous. I was seen by Mike who instantly made me feel at ease by explaining the process, asking questions about my pain and being very informative about what he was doing while being assessed and treated. I felt extra safe knowing that Covid regulations were being followed to keep staff and clients safe. A very professional, friendly and beneficial place to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been seeing Niro for osteopathy on and off for 2 years now. I have a recurring back issue from a childhood sports injury which is further exacerbated by the strain that pregnancy and breastfeeding puts on my body, meaning I need some work 1 or 2 times a year, and he's always been able to help me in a couple of sessions.
He does really good… soft tissue work as well as manipulation (i.e. when your back cracks).
Initially I was a bit worried seeing a male osteopath as previously I have gone to centres that specialise in women's care, but Niro is also super professional and kind, and

I have had a number of sessions with Ayo at Forté Physical health for neck and back pain.
Very insightful, approachable osteopath and am very pleased with treatment. She also has given helpful advice & exercises to manage pain between treatments. The clinic’s newsletter via email along with videos are a great resource.

I went to see Chris with an injury that just wouldn't go away just over 2 weeks before I was due to run a 2 day, 33 miles/day ultra race. I fully expected to have to pull out of the race but Chris identified the root cause of the injury and gave me some physio and some stretches to do which produced an almost instant improvement. I completed the race with no issues from my injury either during or after. I would have no hesitation in recommending Forte Physical Health to anyone but especially runners!

I have used Chris over several years and have recommended him to family and friends alike. Always with a positive result. He is professional and never static in his quest for new knowledge, updating ideas and techniques as they emerge. I trust this man implicitly, he has supported me in taking charge of my physical well-being and I now have an excellent range of movement without pain.

Well, I never thought my shoulder would be normal again. I was then recommended Forte Health Osteopathy in Chelmsford. I was a bit sceptical they could help. Well I was wrong, after the initial consultation with Chris - he was confident he could help. And I am pleased to say after a series of treatments (with some homework) my shoulder is back to normal. I wish them all the best and highly recommend them. Martin - Chelmsford

I had been suffering with a bad neck and painful breastbone, Chris worked out what the problem was and fixed it within a couple of sessions. I had previously spent a lot of money and time with a chiropractor which had not helped at all. Chris is a very gentle osteopath and the results are extremely effective. It is so nice to be pain free now! I would thoroughly recommend his services.

I have suffered joint pain for many years until Chris Branch was recommended to me. I was nervous at first but I needn't have worried. Forte Physical Health is such a friendly practise, right in the centre of Chelmsford and with ample parking.
Chris treats you through the clothes you wear so there is no need for the embarrassment of stripping off. He was able to tell where my problems were just by asking me to move in certain ways. It was such a relief to find someone who really understands how the body works. He gave good clear explanations of the exercises I could do at home and I was able to
