Answering your frequently asked questions.
Yes – osteopathy is safe and regulated in the UK. I am registered with the General Osteopathic Council and a member of the Institute of Osteopathy.
At my clinic, you will always be treated by me personally, so you can feel confident in the consistency and quality of your care. With over 20 years of experience, I ensure every treatment is tailored, gentle, and focused on your safety and results.
No, osteopaths are fully qualified to diagnose, guide you and manage your problem.
I work closely with local GPs and consultants and will liaise with them if I feel further medical investigations / x-rays / scans are necessary – always with your permission.
I understand that you don’t want any additional pain – you are in the right place, as pain-free treatment is my specialism.
I aim to treat you quickly and effectively with as little discomfort as possible. Occasionally there may be some mild soreness during or after treatment, especially in sensitive areas, but my goal is always to minimise this.
My techniques are gentle but effective, and there is no invasive cracking or clicking.
This depends on your condition and goals.
I will always be honest and clear about what’s needed – no unnecessary appointments.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. I will need to see your spine and the problem area for a full assessment, but your modesty is always respected.
Shorts are ideal, and for ladies leggings and a comfortable bra or vest top works well.
Yes – absolutely. You are very welcome to bring someone along, and they can sit in with you during your session if you wish.
