What to expect

The clinic has three treatment rooms and a waiting area. It is fully disabled accessible.

The first appointment will usually take about an hour, and follow up appointments approximately 45 minutes.

At a first appointment, we gather personal details, a history of the problem and of the person as a whole. For a baby or child this will include details of the pregnancy and birth.

We ask for details of medical history, past accidents, operations, illnesses and dental work so that we have a comprehensive understanding of what has happened.

A typical examination will include a combination of movement, orthopaedic and neurological tests and palpation (gentle touch).

You may be required to undress to your underwear if necessary for examinination or treatment. You can bring suitable clothing to cover yourself with if you wish. We are no longer able to provide privacy gowns or towels or blankets. You are welcome to bring a chaperone with you to be present at your session, but they will need to be screened prior to coming into the clinic (as are patients), and must attend to the COVID risk reduction measures.

Your practitioner will explain your diagnosis in simple terms, and advise you of an appropriate treatment plan. Then with your agreement some treatment is typically done on this first visit.

Treatments can be tiring and you should not expect to participate in vigorous activity for up to 48 hours aftewards. Babies and children may also be unsettled for up to 24 hours.

Over the last 6 months Lara has effectively used the Emmett Technique to eliminate my persistent lower back pain as well as foot and heel pain. She has also been able to relieve stress and tension from my neck and shoulders. The relief, as a result of her treatments, is immediate and long-lasting. I would highly recommend her treatments.

Amanda, Wimbledon

I damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and have had trouble with it ever since. I work in the building trade and have to keep fit and active. Stephen has managed my knee and other associated problems, and without his skill I would not have been able to continue with my job. He has even enabled me to go skiing, although this was against his better judgment! If you are looking for an experienced osteopath, then you need look no further; his skill is unrivalled.

Dave D, Wallington

Hey Charley! Just letting you know my tennis elbow is basically solved – no pain, at all. Quite remarkable. THANK YOU so much.

Zubin (Sydney, Australia)

Lara’s thoughtful, gentle, confident and knowledgeable approach results in the most expert therapeutic massage one could hope to receive. The outcome is therefore a very holistic one in which specific discomforts have been eased with and overall relaxation achieved at the same time. 


Helen, Colliers Wood

I have had several treatments with Steve over the years for neck pain, back pain and under active thyroid. Steve has natural healing hands as well as a bank of experience and knowledge, which enhance his effectiveness. He is a very skilled practitioner both sensitive and subtle with powerful results; I have completely recovered from these conditions.

I saw Yan-Kei Man following a musculoskeletal injury, which she helped me treat. Impressed with Yan-Kei's professionalism and attentiveness, I have since introduced my young kids (3 and 5 years old) to osteopathy. In hindsight, a wise decision given that a scooter accident had left my 5 year old with a slight postural dysfunction. I thoroughly recommend Yan-Kei for her specialisation and impeccable manners.

Charley is incredible! Cannot recommend SW19 osteopaths enough. I dislocated my elbow, described by the doctor as the worst dislocation without a break they had seen, the hospital told me I would get 60% max movement back. Thanks to Charley and her incredible skill set and knowledge I now have 99.99% movement back and have pushed my upper strength more than I ever thought I could. The practise is friendly, professional and welcoming. If you are in need of an osteopath, Stephen and his team are simply the best!

I have been seeing Steve on and off for years. Every time I see him I feel as if I have been put back together. He’s an incredible osteopath. I highly recommend the practice because of their ethos and very high standard of treatment.

Claire, SW19

I am just e-mailing you Stephen to let you know that my baby daughter’s tight tummy calmed down considerably after your treatment so thank you very much.
