Many of you may not have come across an osteopath or know what an osteopath is or does. We aren't available on the NHS in Scotland yet and there are only 161 of us registered here. We are fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council. Simply, we treat any muscle or joint pain through manual therapy.
Manual therapy includes massage, manipulations, mobilisations (getting tissues/joints/muscles moving) and sometimes acupuncture. Each patient is treated based on their individual needs and how well they respond to a particular treatment. For example, if two patients each had the same knee injury, one may respond to acupuncture whereas the other may benefit more from deep massage.

During your first visit for Osteopathy we will take a thorough case history to include information about the present complaint/condition and also a background medical history. We will take the time to listen and we will ask questions to help us formulate our diagnosis. We will then assess the site of pain, your general posture and mobility.

I cannot recommend Leanne at Bearsden Osteopaths enough. She is a magician at what she does and I instantly found that tight areas in my hips and shoulders were relived after her treatments. Her approach is to help you fix yourself which I really like. The sooner you have them check your injury the less damage will be done.

The difference in my body after seeing Leanne always amazes me. Between relieving pain from plantar fasciitis, loosening up tight spots in my thigh and hip flexor and having a good chat, I feel like I float out of the building! She always explains what she’s doing and what’s causing the issue. Can’t recommend enough.

Harry is an absolute miracle worker. I was in crippling agony with the worst back spasms I have ever experienced. I went for two sessions and the improvement has been incredible. I went from being barely able to move stuck lying in discomfort on a wooden floor to being able to walk around and mobile after one session.
Harry is friendly, welcoming, knowledgable and totally understanding. I felt instantly at ease with his calm and professional manner. I literally could not recommend him enough.

After constant neck pain followed by a motorbike accident I was in agony for weeks. After only 4 sessions with Linda my pain is completely gone. I have my range of motion back, and am able to sleep again. Not only did she help with adjustments and massage, but she showed me multiple stretches to do at home that really helped. She's wonderful!! I highly recommend her.

As a runner and triathlete, I can most definitely recommend Linda Canning at Bearsden Osteopaths. I have been seeing Linda for nearly a year and she works unlike any other therapist. She has helped me move better and become more aware of the effects that strengthening a part of my body has on the rest. It has been amazing for me that by making my feet stronger and when changing how I run, any niggles disappear. Of course it takes work and time but I’m committed to following her advice as it is clear her advice is effective from the first session’s “homework.” Linda is interested and takes

I've been going to Linda for years whenever I suffer with labyrinthitis. I had reached a point where it was making me miserable daily and tablets and exercises from the NHS had done nothing. Linda is fantastic and her treatment has meant I have sometimes gone over a year without any symptoms. She is very skillful, highly professional and also very kind so I always feel completely confident in her treatment. I recently suffered from vertigo, which was very unpleasant and alarming but one visit to Linda dealt with this completely. I can't recommend her highly enough.

After years of searching for an osteopath that could fix my lower back problems, I found Linda! She truly has magical hands and puts her all into getting you pain free and back to full mobility. Over the years, Linda has helped me not just with my lower back, but many muscular issues including elbow tendonitis, shin splints and wrist pains. She's highly professional and will make you at ease quickly. She also packs in time to give you exercises to do at home.

Linda is just fab! I initially started going for treatment due to unexplained and sudden back pain which she effectively treated and gave me relief from. I now go for regular maintenance appointments and Linda always shares advice she has learned about about what I should be doing to improve my posture and general well being. I have no hesitation in recommending Linda and her practice at Bearsden Osteopaths.
