One of the main strengths of Osteopathy is the unique way in which you'll be assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint. This means that any treatment you receive from our male or female osteopaths here at our York osteopathic practice will be tailor-made to suit you, as an individual.
If you are new to the practice, an initial consultation is required. This gives your osteopath opportunity to complete a thorough assessment and perform some treatment. A follow up appointment is quite often required in the weeks following your initial consultation. Your osteopath will give you an idea of how many sessions may be required at your initial consultation.

I was recommended by a couple of people at work, suffering with back pain and the stretches the hospital gave me weren't making much of a difference. Ross has improved my life dramatically, not only treating the issue but giving me advice on how to improve my posture to prevent a recurring issue.
He's also diagnosed a trapped nerve that was incorrectly diagnosed at the hospital, and with treatment the pain is going and I'm gaining my dexterity back. When the injury happened it was incredibly scary, but Ross has put me back on the road to recovery. Can't thank him enough!

I first went to Hepworth Osteopath Practice as a friend at work recommended them. I am so grateful to that friend! I have had two irritated facet joints in my back for about two and a half years now and quite often had discomfort and pain from them, along with a degree of lack of flexibility.
I have been to see Jacqui a few times now and the transformation is amazing. I have a lot less pain than I used to have and I have regained a lot of my flexibility. Thank you Jacqui!

What can I say! Wish I'd found you sooner, I've been struggling for 10+yrs: back, sacroiliac joint area problems.
I now realise that Osteopaths look at all of the skeleton, how everything works, not just the spine as chiropractors do.
After my first appointment /consultation with Ross, I'm walking taller. I understand that my whole body has been twisted, things are out, some muscles have been over working and some under. So it will take time, patience to get me back to how things should be.
Things are certain on the mend, pain is less, I'm able to do more and am learning what's best for me.

I started visiting Ross at Heworth Osteopathic Practice in the summer of 2016 after 5 - 10 years of recurring lower back, sciatic-type shooting pains in my inside leg and occasion chest pains.
After assessing and attending to my main issues, after 2 - 4 months my pain and recurring issues were under control and maintained. Since this time, approximately 12 months ago, the issues haven't returned.
Ross always checks the main issues and just keeps them at bay. It doesn't feel like he is doing much, but lying there wondering what has helped and then realising that visiting this practice is the only
