What It Is and Who It’s For

Osteopathy looks at the body as a connected whole, using manual techniques to ease restriction and support the body’s own capacity to recover. Treatment might involve soft tissue stretching, joint articulation, or gentle resistance work depending on what your assessment shows. It suits people with joint stiffness, general musculoskeletal aches, postural strain from desk work, and those who prefer a gentler, more whole-body hands-on approach alongside or instead of exercise-led physiotherapy. Many people alternate between osteopathy and physiotherapy depending on what a particular problem needs.

Treatment methods

How we treat you

01Soft Tissue TechniquesStretching and gentle pressure through muscle and connective tissue to reduce tension and improve mobility.
02Joint ArticulationGentle, controlled movement of joints to ease stiffness and restore range of motion.
03Whole-Body AssessmentTreatment that considers posture and movement patterns beyond the immediate area of pain, aiming at the underlying cause of restriction.

What to expect at your first visit

Your first osteopathy appointment begins with a discussion of your symptoms, general health and lifestyle, since osteopathy considers the whole body rather than just the painful area. Hollie will then carry out a physical assessment of movement and posture. Hands-on treatment usually starts in this first session, using techniques matched to what your assessment finds. You will leave with an explanation of what has been treated, what to expect afterwards, and whether further sessions are recommended.

“I cannot recommend Joana highly enough. From my first appointment, Joana was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my recovery. She took the time to thoroughly assess my injury, explained the cause and created a tailored plan which resulted in a full recovery.”

“Joana is a wonderful physio! She guided me through my entire rehabilitation following ankle surgery. I started out in a wheelchair, and within just a handful of weeks, I was back to exercising thanks to her extensive hands-on treatment.”

“Sajj is honestly second to none! I'm a runner and work in finance so suffer from various pains from hip bursitis to neck pain due to stress and everything in between… Sajj (unlike many physios) takes a holistic approach and really reads into the root cause.”

Frequently asked questions

Is osteopathy the same as physiotherapy?
They overlap but are not identical. Osteopathy tends to take a broader, whole-body manual approach, while physiotherapy often places more emphasis on exercise-based rehabilitation. Many people benefit from either, or a combination of both.
Do I need a referral to see an osteopath?
No, you can book directly with Hollie without a GP referral.
Is osteopathy safe?
Osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council, and Hollie is GOsC registered (reg. 11589). She will explain any technique before using it and adjust treatment to your comfort.
What conditions is osteopathy most suited to?
It is commonly used for joint stiffness, general musculoskeletal pain, and postural-related discomfort, alongside sports injuries and recovery work.
Can I have osteopathy and physiotherapy at the same time?
Yes. Some people use both, particularly where a problem benefits from hands-on treatment and a structured exercise programme together. Hollie and our physio team work closely to coordinate care.
