Conditions we commonly treat

Our osteopaths regularly help patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, including:

• Back pain and sciatica

• Shoulder injuries

• Neck pain and headaches

  Pregnancy-related discomfort

• Persistent or recurring pain

• Sports and overuse injuries

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.

Treatment is always tailored to the individual and may include:

• Gentle manual techniques

• Targeted joint manipulation

Our approach is evidence-informed and grounded in modern clinical science, while still recognising the importance of careful hands-on assessment and treatment.

Longevity: healthspan, not just lifespan

At Back to Back, we think beyond pain relief. Our goal is to help you maintain physical resilience, freedom of movement and quality of life for the long term — not just to get you through the next few weeks. For us, longevity means healthspan: staying strong, mobile and active as you age.

Several of our senior team have completed Advanced Functional Movement (AFS) training in the United States, bringing an elite understanding of movement quality, injury resilience and long-term physical performance to every patient we see.

A clear and collaborative approach to care

We are committed to ensuring every patient receives the right level of expertise.

If a case requires additional experience or a fresh clinical perspective, we will always arrange review with a senior practitioner. Our Principal Osteopath leads regular in-house teaching and mentoring sessions, sharing decades of experience with the wider team.

For complex or persistent cases, clinicians will often discuss patients together so that your care benefits from multiple experienced perspectives.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GP referral? No — you can book directly with us. We also welcome patients referred by GPs and consultants.

How quickly can I get an appointment? We aim to offer prompt appointments, particularly for acute injuries. Call us on 020 8605 2323 for urgent bookings.

What conditions do osteopaths treat? We treat a wide range of conditions including back and neck pain, sports injuries, hip and knee pain, postural problems, sciatica, headaches and pregnancy-related discomfort. We also support patients with long-term mobility, movement and healthspan goals.

How many sessions will I need? This depends on the nature of your problem. Your osteopath will give you an honest assessment and a clear plan at your first appointment.

What makes Back to Back different? Twenty-five years of community care, over 95 years of combined senior clinical experience, and a philosophy built around lasting results — not just short-term relief.

What is the difference between an osteopath and a physiotherapist? Both osteopaths and physiotherapists are regulated healthcare professionals who treat musculoskeletal pain and injury. Osteopaths tend to take a slightly more holistic, hands-on approach, looking at how the whole body moves and functions together, while physiotherapists often focus more heavily on exercise rehabilitation and specific injury protocols. In practice, there is overlap — the key is finding a practitioner whose approach suits you
