Improving and maintaining spinal health and mobility is not achieved from a one off, short term, quick fix. We work with and attract those who are looking to invest in their long term spinal health and mobility. Therefore, we offer individual care plans to all our patients, through detailed examination, explanation, information and skilled hands on adjustments.
Having visited Alma Osteopath for a number of years now for a back problem, I could not recommend Jamie's practice more! Jamie is extremely professional, calm, reassuring and highly knowledgeable, and I was amazed at how quickly he was able to alleviate stiffness and pain after only a few appointments.

After 10+ years of struggling with injuries and different problems i was in pain from getting out of bed in a morning to getting back in at the end of the day a friend recommended I visit Jamie so I decided to give it a go. As soon as I met Jamie he was very straight and honest with me about what we needed to do and didn’t confuse me with big words but explained everything to me very simple and detailed and set out a plan specifically for me. After completing the 6 week plan I felt so much better and Can do all the things I used to do and with Jamie’s knowledge of strength and conditioning

I first used Jamie around mid 2017 when I had been suffering for around 4 months with a very severe & painful trapped nerve. Physiotherapy and seeing a Specialist Consultant had proved ineffectual. and I was fearful that surgery would be my only option. From day one I was impressed by how Jamie did not just seek to correct the problem (which he did indeed achieve ) , but also took the time to explain why it was occurring and where the root of the problem lay, along with the best way to try and prevent any recurrence. I had never been to an osteopath before and was somewhat sceptical prior to this

Jamie has been my osteopath since I was around 13 years old - so around 12 years now!! I am a professional dancer and so my body needs a lot of work and there’s always a new problem but Jamie has always been able to find the route problem and fix me. For example- I have been overseas on a contract and had a shoulder injury for over a year. I have come straight home to Jamie and am now pain free for the first time in my shoulder after 3 sessions with him. His knowledge of the body always shocks me. Would highly recommend Jamie to anyone!!

I have been attending Alma Osteopathic practice for the past 5 months. I am a very competitive athlete, I train every day and therefore more guaranteed to pick up injuries. I came to Jamie with a pain down my left knee, to my surprise Jamie explained to me that the pain was infact being triggered from my Pelvis. Jamie is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. After only a couple of sessions I felt a big difference and the pain after each session eased off. I now visit Jamie once a month to ensure I keep or my mobility and stability. I really enjoy visiting Jamie as he makes me feel motivated to look

After using various physiotherapists and chyropracters for several years I decided to try osteopathy . Around 11 years ago I contacted Jamie at the Alma Osteopathic Practice. I was most impressed by the way his treatment is applied. It was explained in detail why he would work on all my body from 'top to toe' as to align it and so help combat the problems I'd been suffering. Jamie will give advice on regular exercise for any ailments. It changed the way I live and I've felt much better since dealing with him. There is a comfy waiting room with a friendly receptionist and the entire practice has

Jamie diagnosed my shoulder problem and managed to put it right after a few visits. I had waited 2 months before seeking help and the shoulder was getting worse - so waiting for it to get better on it's own wasn't working. I am now pain free and the shoulder is mobile again and on the road to full flexibility. Jamie worked wonders. Highly recommended.

Alma Osteopathic Practice was recommended to me, after yet another accident on my horse. I'd been to several practitioners in the past but felt I had not received the best treatment.
I immediately felt at ease with Jamie, he went through my history and explained simply the problems I had. I still attend periodically at the clinic and at age 69 I can confidently say that I haven't felt better in 20 years. I need no pain killers and I ask for advice on exercise.

From my first appointment at Alma Osteopathic Practice I can genuinely say that I have received unparalleled first class treatment. From first appointment assessment to diagnosis and the following management plan this practice has given me a quality of life back that I thought was lost. Jamie's Archers pursuit for excellence is relentless. He is totally dedicated to giving you the best treatment that he thinks appropriate for your particular condition. His tremendous experience and knowledge partnered with a desire to get you well is obvious. As a carpenter and builder my body has taken a lot of

I have been a customer of Jamie at Alma Osteopathic practice for 10 years. The treatment that I receive has improved my health and allowed me to keep driving for my job which otherwise wouldn’t have been possible. Jamie is professional and knowledgable and I have recommended him to many friends and family.
