Many of our patients come through recommendation from friends, family, and local GPs and medical consultants who trust our approach.
Whether you are dealing with a recent injury, persistent pain, or simply want to stay active as you age, our focus is always the same: helping you understand your body and recover in a way that lasts.
Conditions we commonly treat
At Back to Back Osteopaths in Earlsfield, Wandsworth (SW18), our osteopaths regularly help patients recover from a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including:
• Sciatica
• Hip pain
We prioritise prompt assessment of acute problems to help prevent longer-term issues. Our aim is not only to relieve pain but to help you understand your body better, with advice on movement, posture and exercises to support long-term recovery.
Why patients choose Back to Back Osteopaths
Back to Back has been caring for patients in Earlsfield, Wandsworth and across South West London for more than 25 years. In that time we have built a reputation that no newer clinic can replicate — not through marketing, but through results, relationships, and an exceptionally experienced team.
Over 95 years of combined clinical experience. Our senior team has decades of hands-on practice across the full range of musculoskeletal conditions — from acute sports injuries to complex, long-standing pain that hasn't improved elsewhere.
Four Fellows of Applied Functional Science (FAFS). James Dodd, Annie Fonfé, Anja Davidson and Stephanie Gammell each hold this advanced postgraduate qualification from the Gray Institute, USA — recognising expertise in 3D movement analysis and functional biomechanics. This concentration of FAFS-qualified practitioners within a single clinic is exceptionally rare in the UK.
Trusted by GPs and consultants. Many patients are referred directly by local GPs and medical specialists who know our approach and trust our clinical judgement. Self-referred patients are equally welcome.
Elite sport experience. Our team has treated professional athletes including a current Fulham FC first-team player — and we bring the same standard of assessment to every patient we see.
Our philosophy
Archbishop Desmond Tutu once said… ’There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in’. This is how we work at Back to Back Osteopathy. We don’t just treat the symptoms - we go upstream to understand why your body is struggling, so that your recovery is lasting, not temporary.

OUR APPROACH TO CARE
Treatment is always tailored to the individual and may include gentle manual techniques, targeted joint manipulation, soft-tissue work, and movement or rehabilitation advice. For complex or persistent cases, our clinicians discuss patients together — so your care benefits from multiple experienced perspectives. If a case needs a fresh eye, we will always arrange a review with a senior practitioner.
LONGEVITY: HEALTHSPAN, NOT JUST LIFESPAN
We think beyond pain relief. Our goal is to help you stay strong, mobile and active for the long term — not just get you through the next few weeks. Several of our team have completed advanced functional movement training in the USA, bringing an elite understanding of movement quality and injury resilience to every patient we see.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral? No — you can book directly. We also welcome patients referred by GPs and consultants.
How quickly can I get an appointment? We aim to offer prompt appointments, especially for acute injuries. Call 020 8605 2323 for urgent bookings.
What conditions do osteopaths treat? Back and neck pain, sports and running injuries, hip and knee pain, sciatica, headaches, pregnancy-related discomfort, and long-term mobility goals.
How many sessions will I need? It depends on your problem. Your osteopath will give you an honest plan at your first appointment.
What makes Back to Back different? Twenty-five years of community care, 95+ years of combined senior experience, and a focus on lasting results — not short-term relief.
What is the difference between an osteopath and a physiotherapist? Both are regulated healthcare professionals treating musculoskeletal pain. Osteopaths tend to take a more holistic, hands-on approach; physiotherapists often focus more on exercise rehabilitation. In practice there is overlap — the key is finding a practitioner whose approach suits you.
