Our individual appointments are great at getting pain under control but we also work with people on a monthly basis with our Unlimited service, with all appointments covered by the fee. Here we take a lot more time to make sure a complete recovery is achieved as we really strive to get to the root cause of the problem and address it.
Think of it as fixing the leak rather than bailing out the water from a sinking ship. Conquering the problem rather than coping with it. Gold Standard Osteopathy combines the latest in hands on Osteopathy, Exercise, Education and Laser therapy (if appropriate) with technology to provide you with something that we know truly works above and beyond traditional Osteopathic treatment.

I used to compare what we do to that of a mechanic but the analogy doesn't work. There are too many people in the world in pain and these are often the people that spend the most time looking after their machinery, whilst plenty of others that haven't ever done any maintenance aren't in pain.
I now think a driving instructor is a more suitable representation of what we do, your body has it's own very good inbuilt mechanics, biting your tongue is usually better in a few days, broken bones a couple of months, amazing isn't it.

The term criterion standard is preferred in medical writing. Term used to describe a method or procedure that is widely recognized as the best available. Gold Standard Osteopathy is for you if you not only want to resolve your problem but also make sure it never comes back. We use our knowledge, skills and expertise to offer you more than many other Osteopathic practices.
Used as part of Gold Standard Osteopathy, Laser Therapy is an exceptional treatment option for any injuries that are swollen or inflamed or are healing at a rate that is preventing progress with your recovery as quickly as might be possible.
Some tissues (such as muscles) heal relatively quickly largely due to a good blood supply, whilst others with poor blood flow, such as tendons, ligaments and cartilage, take much longer and can often be a cause of frustration.Laser Therapy works by using 4 wavelengths of light to speed up your own body's natural healing process in those tissues.

I've deliberately left writing this review 3 months after finishing an extensive treatment course from Steve at this clinic. Reason being I've suffered from intermittent non traumatic lower back pain for years and I wanted to see if it came back! And.... I'm completely symptom free :) As with all these things, you as the patient have to be receptive and do your exercises, working with Steve has given me a stronger and perfectly working lower spine. Crucially I have now have a toolkit of exercises that I can use during my usual daily routine to keep me well. This was my first experience of Osteopathy

I have a history of issues with a sacro iliac joint and patella arthritis. I started working with Steve to try and remedy the pain and difficulties I had with movement, including walking any distance.
Steve started with an assessment of the problems and then set me an exercise regime to be followed three times a week. The programme was online, and I could raise any problems with Steve via the app at any point. Speaking to Steve every 2-3 weeks, the exercises gradually progressed from stretching (which was immediately therapeutic) to more strength building.
Long standing issues are really difficult

Since contacting Bannerdale Osteopaths over a month ago, I have had nothing but top-rate service provided by Steven.
He has been so patient and understanding and has really listened to everything I have told him about my issue.
He has absolutely smashed my expectations after a few bad experiences with other osteopaths/chiropractors had left it hard to feel that there would ever be anyone that could actually help me to make progress with my issue.
Happy to say I am definitely seeing improvements in my condition but understand that is it a process and it takes time and commitment.
I wholeheartedly

Having almost completed a year of treatment with Steven, I sincerely cannot speak more highly of this professional, supportive and knowledgeable practitioner.
I wanted to work with Steven, as his approach is holistic. I therefore chose to follow the 'Ultimate' programme. It is designed to deal with the source of a patient's chronic symptoms – but not solely by means of a quick-fix 'crunch and click', (as despite the initial relief this can offer, the relief is short-lived an often involves a patient's symptoms not improving long-term).
Instead this programme does so by considering what is going

Recently new to the area I chose Bannerdale Osteopaths on the strength of previous Google reviews and haven't been disappointed. Pooja has helped immensely with my lower back and hip pain and movement issues; she's always really friendly, the treatment is working and the rehab exercises have been considered to fit in with my time available to make it really easy for me to do them. Highly recommend and as a runner who does have issues from time to time, I'm very glad I've found someone brilliant!

Edit: I'd like to edit my previous review as the issue has been sorted. The problem was due to none of Steven's fault, the app had some technical issues as stated below. I wrote the review as how it appeared to me, however it was just down to the app so my apologies here. Otherwise we are still very pleased with the treatment.
My 4 month old son has had two appointments with Steven regarding his reflux, hypertension in the neck and tummy issues.
The first appointment went very smoothly, I was pleased with the general assessment and the exercises given over the app, which was very convenient.

After having problems with Sciatica and the doctors being close to useless, i got in touch with Bannerdale Osteopaths. Alex was very good and after a few sessions had completely eased off. Much better than just trying to take pain killers from the Doctors..... I needed to be able to walk properly, not just kill the pain!
