During pregnancy it is very easy to strain your back and pelvis. Many women who experience pain during pregnancy think nothing can be done, as there is not much help from their GP because most drugs are not safe during pregnancy. But this is not the case!.
Pregnancy is one of the best times to receive osteopathic treatment because of the body's tissues becoming suppler, so it is a safe and effective way of eliminating or reducing your spinal and pelvic pains.Mothers can respond very quickly to treatment, some women may have had problems or injury prior to becoming pregnant, and for others it may be the first time they have experienced musculo-skeletal pain.

Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that treats pain arising from the musculo-skeletal system i.e. muscles, joints, tendons and discs ligaments. This makes osteopaths highly effective at treating back pain, neck pain and pain related to the arm or leg (sciatica). But we are called Not Just Backs for a reason, and so we are more than happy to treat shoulder strains, headaches and knee disorders too.
Analytical Hypnotherapy, sometimes referred to as hypnotherapy with psychotherapy or hypno-analysis is a type of talking therapy. It is different to suggestion hypnotherapy because it deals with the root cause of psychological and emotional issues. Analytical hypnotherapy is not just about treating your symptoms.
If you've just started on your tendinitis journey then you need to give your body time to heal. This can be helped with the correct diagnosis, advice and treatment including the appropriate exercise for your tendon injury. Doing the wrong exercise can severely aggravate the problem!. Many tendon problems will heal completely within 3 months.

I just wanted to put in writing how pleased I am that I found ’Not Just Backs’. After being told I had 6-9 weeks of sciatica pain to just griz out with painkillers over the summer holidays with three young kids in tow I was seriously depressed. I’m SO pleased I gave osteopathy a go, as I am now totally pain free and I honestly feel like I have my… life back again.
The pain was so debilitating, and was really affecting how I could parent (or not!). I’m amazed it only took 3 sessions, and I think Cameron is a real credit to your company. He immediately put me at ease

Had my first ever treatment at not just backs today and saw a lovely lady called Rebecca she made me feel incredibly welcome and relaxed from the moment she greeted me in the waiting room. And as for the treatment that was absolutely fantastic. She listened to everything I needed and got right to work on it explaining her every move educating me as she went. I would give 10 stars if I could. I honestly feel amazing after one session. Can't wait for my follow up. 😊

I've been visiting NJB for some years and would like to highly recommend Rhian Osborne who has a very dedicated, professional and empathetic approach. She accurately identifies the cause of the pain and has amazing results in achieving pain relief. I'd also like to mention the receptionists who are always very polite and helpful. Thank you NJB!

2 weeks ago I was cleaning 😩, bent over to put something away and got stuck , couldn’t move, excruciating pain..... I am normally fit, well and active..... so a phone call to Not Just Backs and they fitted me in that day.... that exam by Rebecca resulted in a referral to ED..... luckily it was not a fractured vertebrae, so returned to the confidant… and compassionate Rebecca. She worked miracles, and I am now mobile, back at work.... NHS, so no lockdown for me. I can’t recommend this practice enough. I attended @ Salisbury practice. I went there as I had taken my daughter

Fantastic! I have been taking my daughter to see Marin for cranial osteopathy....she is 15 weeks and he is great with her...no matter what her mood! 5 sessions down and today she even slept through the entire treatment and had her longest nap to date! So from a rather sleep deprived Mummy...thank you Marin and the lovely team at NJB!

Our baby daughter has been treated by Rhian and Marin and what a difference it has made. She wouldn’t sleep on her back, preferred to feed on one side only, disliked being dressed and took very short naps. After a few sessions all has improved. We are back again after a growth spurt and after one session with Marin she slept for a solid 6 hours, quick feed, then another 5 hours. Bliss worth every penny for a good nights sleep and a happy, comfortable baby.

I've had back problems on and off for years, as well as recent neck & shoulder pain. I know when I visit NJB that they will sort me out with treatments tailored for my needs and in my comfort zone. They really have helped me enormously and I'm always confident that I will be on the road to recovery so much faster than if I'd tried other types of treatments, or worse - left it alone! No hesitation at all in recommending.

Rhian at Not Just Backs has alleviated my various pains and problems caused by injuries, stress and ageing for more than 20 years, and kept me much fitter, feeling much better in myself, and highly mobile. I think the world of NJB and their top level of expertise, care and professionalism, and highly recommend their treatments and therapies.

I had suffered with headaches for 18 months and by chance was recommended to Rhian, after just a few sessions my headaches started easing and eventually cleared. Rhian is an amazing Osteopath who doesn't just look after your aches and pains, she also looks after your overall well-being! Since Rhian cleared by heads over 10 years ago she has also helped me through 2 pregnancies and now the stresses of work with shoulder, neck and head muscular issues. I trust Rhian and her treatments and I would recommend her without hesitation.

I have been going to Not Just Backs since they began. Due to a discectomy, nearly thirty years ago, I need regular 'routine maintenance'. Rhian has looked after me brilliantly and when I have a flare up and cannot see her, Frances and Tom have been able to sort out the problem until I get back into the regular routine again. I respond really well to acupuncture which along with the other treatments bring instant relief. If only I did all the exercises recommended and looked after myself better, I probably would not need to see them so often - but then I enjoy it.

I have been suffering with painful knee joints for over two years now and thought it was just something that I had to live with. Eventually on a recommendation I went to see Joe at NJB - I can believe I didn't go sooner! The difference he has made to my mobility is wonderful and I feel that I am almost back to my old self! I simply can't recommend NJB and Joe in particular, enough.

I was recommended Not Just Backs after the birth of my first born. After weeks of awkward breastfeeding positions and a prolonged labour I had been left in an immense amount of discomfort when sitting or laying down.
During my first session I had a consultation where I talked through my main niggles and the causes of this as well as discussing previous back injuries from years ago when I had fallen on some ice. As well as relaxing I found the treatment worked wonders on each problem area. I was given recommendations of simple exercises I could continue at home. I had a follow up session as well
