Blackhall Osteopaths
I graduated with a BSc in Osteopathy from The European School Of Osteopathy and set up my own successful clinic in Biggin Hill, Kent. Since moving to Edinburgh I have practiced Osteopathy in several clinics including Napiers in Bristo Square, Neal's Yard in Hanover Street, Edinburgh Osteopathic Surgery in Dalkeith Road as well my own practice in Comely Bank.

As a result of my clinical experiences I tend to use a mixture of treatment approaches. All patients are different so treatments are tailored to the individual whether using a so called structural approach or cranial osteopathy or a combination of both. Everything within a treatment is discussed with you and agreed beforehand.
Services
This always depends on your particular complaint. Most problems resolve after 3 or 4 treatments, some only take one. Usually the longer that you have had a complaint then the longer it will take to treat. Some people will be recommended to return periodically for long-term management of a condition.
If you cannot attend an appointment we require 24 hours notice of cancellation, otherwise a fee may be charged. Please remember that an early cancellation may allow a patient in acute pain to be treated. It may be possible to claim against your private health insurance for the course of the treatment.
It really depends on the individual practitioner, some osteopaths work like chiropractors and vice versa. The training is almost identical being over four or five years, and both are fully regulated by law. However practically, we have gleaned from our own patients experiences that osteopathy tends to involve more rhythmical and gentler techniques, there is less spinal manipulation and consultations tend to last longer.

I have been attending Daniel's clinic for several years as I have a couple of on-going problems with lower back and knees which need regular manipulation. Daniel has been so helpful in explaining what treatments he is carrying out and I have the utmost confidence in him. He approaches all treatment in a very calm and pleasant manner. If you have any worries about joint problems he will answer all questions that you have. I can thoroughly recommend Daniel as an excellent and professional osteopath.

Been going to see Daniel for a number of years. He's the only professional I've seen who has
actually managed to relieve my migraine pain. He's no judgemental, doesn't demand that I spend a fortune on treatment or repeat visits and is a thoroughly nice person.

I’ve been going to the Blackhall Osteopathic Clinic and can honestly say I’ve got my Health back again. I had headaches constantly that was all down to neck problems. Thanks for keeping the problem at bay Daniel.

Have known Daniel for some years now and he has always been able to help me & family with various back, neck, etc issues. Very often the relief is instantaneous and does last. Completely trust him.

Daniel was fantastic in helping my 3 month old baby with his discomfort and sleeping issue. We are very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him.

Me and my husband regularly come to see Daniel and our issues (neck, upper and lower back pain, classical symptoms of sitting too long hours in front of a computer at a desk) have improved tremendously! Having a sedentary and sometimes stressful lifestyle we know that there will always be issues and Daniel has taught us to become more aware of how we sit, sleep and stand. He is a very knowledgable osteopath and highly relatable, takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and answers all our questions! Highly recommended!

After spending a small fortune on months of treatment from a chiropractor a friend suggested I go to an osteopath. One visit to Daniel resolved the excruciating pain I was suffering in both my neck and lower back.
Absolutely amazing!
