Services
To qualify, an osteopath must study for four to five years for an undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree, with more emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine and includes more than 1,000 hours of training in osteopathic techniques. By law, osteopaths must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
Medical acupunture is a safe effective treatment for muscle pain as well as other painful problems. Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to regulate pain mechanisms for effective relief from symptoms. This is achieved by inserting needles at precise acupuncture points.
Sports massage is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments. Alix is currently available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for sports massage, as well as osteopathy. The techniques used by sports massage practitioners have been developed to ensure effective results are gained from each massage given.
We are a 2 minute walk from Bexleyheath Raiway Station, and serviced by the 422, B11, B12 and B15 bus routes that all stop just a 2 minute walk away on Pickford Lane. Although we are based in Bexleyheath we welcome patients in need of an osteopath from all nearby areas including Welling, Bexley, Erith, Crayford, Abbey Wood, Thamesmead, Sidcup, Northumberland Heath, Belvedere, Slade Green, Barnehurst and Dartford.

After an emergency situation of not being able to move I thought I'd try help myself when I come out of hospital, I got in contact on a Sunday and Chris got back to me strait away which is brilliant, I was booked the very next morning found the whole experience allot less painful than I thought it would be, Chris is very professional and calming, my nerves went strait away, strangly enough I was able to stand up strait away without the horrible spine pain so feel more positive at the moment he generally cared more than the doctors, thank you so much for your time today.

Great service by Chris, he managed to see me last minute for my shoulder pain and was very knowledge and got straight to it, Chris was polite, professional and skilled. We had a wonderful conversation and I would highly recommend his service to friends and family. Worth the visit and every penny well spent. Plus there's free parking outside bonus! 😁

Chris is a miracle worker, my wife has been suffering with left side pain for several months now and her neck has been especially bad.
Chris was patient as he took a full history,asked all the right questions and gave advice based on that. He made us fully aware that it may not be a muscular skeletal issue and that although it sounds like one it may be that his services are not what is needed. He was very honest throughout the entire history taking.
After that he performed some works of art on my wife and immediately after she felt a lot better and that only got better as the day went on. She

This was my first visit to an osteopath and Sarah immediately put my mind at rest as I was in considerable pain at the time.After a thorough consultation and four sessions she has managed to give me much improved mobility and I am very grateful for this.Sarah takes the time to explain the whole process and she does this in a clear and concise way.I cannot speak highly enough of my whole experience and would not hesitate to recommend you.

Met Chris not being able to stand straight and after one session was upright and second, now back to normal. Top bloke and honest, been to others and they try to book you for more sessions, no nonsense just gets the job done without fuss. Just how I like it, hopefully will not be seeing him again for some time in a professional basis, but hopefully locally and will certainly be highly recommending.

I started seeing Chris after a car accident 4 years ago... he really helped my back and posture ... after a few sessions the tension in my shoulders started to be released... i have since started swimming daily and Chris has really helped with my neck and shoulder aches that cropped up whilst doing this activity. Its an extremely professional, welcoming practice, made me feel confident to continue with my daily activities without the worry and pain. 100% recommend This practice for all your osteopathic needs
