Taunton Family Osteopathic Practice
As a primary health care practitioner I have been allowed to continue to treat adults, babies and children as long as I consider it safe to do so. We have provided treatment, adhering to government guidelines, throughout the pandemic, and will continue to do so. As primary care practitioners we provide urgent care, as well as treatments to help maintain health, and will continue to stay open to help relieve the pressure on the NHS.

We have instigated extra measures for your protection, including allowing 15 minutes between appointments to enable thorough cleaning and ventilating of the treatment room. As a result we have a reduced number of appointment slots but will try to get you in as quickly as we can, usually within 24 hours for emergencies.
Services
At the inital consultation, a detailed case history is taken to determine that it is safe to treat you, and that you are likely to benefit from the treatment. If not, you will be refered to whomever it is felt would better be able to help you. Adults would usually then be examined in standing, sitting and lieing-down positions, and through various active and passive movements, to determine how the body is being used.

I was recommended to see David when my baby was suffering with severe Reflux and extreme irritability with… excessive crying at around 6 weeks after I mentioned to a friend I was really struggling. My baby Wynter was spitting up very large quantities immediately after a feed, would then feel hungry and this pattern would repeat itself endlessly. Wynter would cry solidly for an average of 5hrs most evenings despite all methods to soothe her. we would then be up all night with her. We had only 2 sessions with David for Cranio and the difference in Wynter is absolutely remarkable. Wynter spits

David is a very skilled practitioner and an even kinder human. I couldn’t recommend these safe healing hands more. Thank you David

Took my 9 week old daughter to David today for some Cranio Sacral Therapy to help with a range of feeding issues we’ve been having. David came very highly recommended (by both the infant feeding team at Musgrove and other parents I’d spoken to) and we were not disappointed! He very quickly identified a range of issues that were causing my… daughter’s problems - her palette shape, some issues with her gut and some problems with her neck and spine caused by her fast birth. David managed to do something to alleviate everything he identified there and then (and talked me through

I have had two treatment sessions with my three year old with David and found the sessions very relaxing and calm. My Son was very happy to be treated and enjoyed the experience so much he asked to back the next day! He has slept much more soundly since his treatment without the restlessness he had before.
I was amazed at how my son laid still, happy and relaxed during his treatment and highly recommend David for a calming, relaxing treatment with very noticeable results.Happy Mum 😊

David was very highly recommended and he was great with my 6 year old who can be shy around strangers. David engaged him and made him feel comfortable throughout the appointment.

David came highly recommended to us by a friend and our midwife. He treated our 3 week old baby who was suffering from colic. David said from the start he was confident he would only need to see her once or twice and he was correct, he only needed to see her twice and with that the colic has pretty much gone. We saw a huge improvement after just… the first treatment. She was crying on average 4hrs each evening and was in so much discomfort. Not only is she now colic free but she’s a much more content baby. She was very clingy before but we can put her down now without tears. He also

We saw David twice for our 3 month old who was genuinely unhappy and struggling to go to the toilet on her own. The first time we met David we instantly felt at ease and relaxed. It felt like we took home a different baby, she was very happy and smiley, she also managed to go to the toilet herself unaided for the first time in over a month. Which for us is a really big deal!! Would definitely recommend, and looking to book and appointment for myself when I can ☺️

I took my 10 week old to David, who quickly identified some issues. After our first session I noticed a considerable difference. I would highly recommend him, and wish I had seen him sooner as I may have been able to continue to breastfeeding if I did. Thank you again David. 😊

When asking for osteopath recommendations from friends, David was suggested to me time & time again. After my first appointment with him I can definately see why. He has a genuinely caring, trusting & sensitive nature and within a couple of minutes I felt completely at ease. Incredibly professional & simply fantastic with the work he did to my… back, I was worried I'd done permanent damage but he fixed my pain in two relaxed & painfree sessions. I am so pleased I found him & recommend him to everyone I know. I also had a myofascial treatment which I also recommend, it

After having breastfeeding issues with our three week old daughter, it was recommended that we should see a cranial osteopath. David worked wonders and we noticed a great improvement immediately after receiving treatment. I was so impressed with David that I also had treatment for myself.
