Musculoskeletal Osteopathy

Back pain, neck stiffness, sciatica, and joint problems are among the most common reasons people seek osteopathic treatment. These conditions can develop gradually through poor posture and repetitive strain, or arrive suddenly after lifting something awkwardly or sleeping in an uncomfortable position. Whatever the cause, the pain can be debilitating and affect every part of your daily life.

I use a combination of soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and gentle spinal manipulation to identify the root cause of your pain and restore normal movement. Treatment is always tailored to you — your body, your condition, and your comfort level. Most patients notice a significant improvement within two to three sessions, and I'll give you clear guidance on exercises and habits to keep you pain-free long term.

  • Back & neck pain
  • Sciatica
  • Joint stiffness
  • Postural problems
  • Arthritis management

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Sports injuries can sideline you for weeks or months if they're not treated properly. From sprains and muscle tears to chronic tendonitis and overuse injuries, I work with athletes and active individuals at every level to speed up recovery and get you back to doing what you love. The goal isn't just to treat the injury — it's to understand why it happened and prevent it from coming back.

I combine hands-on treatment with a detailed biomechanical assessment to identify the movement patterns and weaknesses that contributed to your injury. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a persistent niggle, or looking to optimise your performance, I'll create a clear rehabilitation plan that includes manual therapy, progressive exercises, and practical advice on training load and recovery.

  • Sprains & strains
  • Tendonitis
  • Muscle tears
  • Post-surgical rehab
  • Performance optimisation

Headache & Migraine Treatment

Many headaches originate not in the head itself, but in the muscles and joints of the neck and upper back. Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and even some migraines can be triggered or worsened by stiffness, muscle tightness, and poor posture. If you've been relying on painkillers to get through the day, osteopathic treatment offers a different approach — one that targets the underlying cause rather than masking the symptoms.

I assess the mechanics of your neck, jaw, and upper spine to identify the structures driving your headaches. Treatment typically involves gentle mobilisation of stiff joints, release of tight muscles in the neck and shoulders, and soft tissue work around the jaw if TMJ dysfunction is a factor. Many patients find that the frequency and intensity of their headaches reduces significantly after just a few sessions.

  • Tension headaches
  • Cervicogenic headaches
  • Migraine management
  • Jaw & TMJ pain
  • Neck-related dizziness

Pre & Post-Natal Osteopathy

Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on the body. As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts, ligaments loosen under the influence of relaxin, and the spine and pelvis adapt to carry increasing weight. These changes frequently lead to lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, rib discomfort, and hip tightness — particularly during the second and third trimesters. Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy is safe, gentle, and can make a real difference to how you feel day to day.

After birth, the body needs time and support to recover. Postnatal osteopathy helps address lingering aches from labour and delivery, the postural strain of feeding and carrying your baby, and any pelvic or spinal misalignment. I use gentle, low-force techniques throughout — adapted to each stage of your pregnancy and recovery — so you can feel confident that treatment is comfortable and appropriate at every step.

  • Pregnancy-related back pain
  • Pelvic girdle pain
  • Post-natal recovery
  • Rib & hip discomfort
  • Gentle techniques throughout

Workplace Ergonomics

Modern working life takes a real toll on the body. Hours spent hunched over a laptop, sitting in a poorly set-up chair, or standing in one position can lead to chronic pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and wrists. Many of my patients are surprised at how much their daily working habits contribute to their symptoms — and how quickly things improve once those habits change.

I combine hands-on treatment to relieve the immediate pain with practical, evidence-based advice on workstation setup, movement breaks, and corrective exercises. Whether you work from home, in an office, or on your feet all day, the goal is to break the cycle of pain, stiffness, and poor posture so your body can cope with the demands of your working day without breaking down.

  • Workstation assessment
  • Posture correction
  • Repetitive strain
  • Desk-related pain
  • Preventative strategies

I'd been struggling with lower back pain for years and tried everything. After just three sessions with Tom, I could finally move without wincing. He explained exactly what was going on and gave me exercises to keep on top of it. Genuinely life-changing.
