Osteopathy
Osteopathy Central London
Osteopathy is a hands-on form of healthcare that focuses on diagnosing, treating and preventing pain by improving how the body moves and functions.
We deliver Osteopathy at CBR Clinics with a similar approach to the other services: no matter if the pain is on your shoulder or on your knee, we’ll look at the whole body and try to connect the dots and find the root cause that will provide you with the best outcome possible.
Our osteopaths work closely with our physiotherapists and strength & conditioning team to ensure your care has a multidisciplinary approach, completely personalised, and focused on long-term outcomes, rather than short-term goals.
Available at:
Canary Wharf & South Quay
Waterloo & Southwark
We offer outstanding osteopathy across our specialist clinics in Waterloo, Southwark (SE1) and Canary Wharf, South Quay (E14). Our primary focus is to relieve pain, improve movement and restore balance throughout the body.
Our highly trained and experienced osteopaths use a combination of hands-on manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilisation, soft tissue and myofascial release, alongside tailored exercise and movement advice to provide you with the most effective treatment and long-term results.
What To Expect
Your care starts with our pre-questionnaire powered by AI, to help save up to 10 mins on your initial consultation and dive into the root causes of your pain. Once you’re in the clinic for your first appointment, we’ll review the findings and ask additional clarifying questions.
For us, it is really important to understand your symptoms, medical history, movement patterns, work demands, and lifestyle factors. When we put all that together with a physical assessment, it is often clear what may be the contributing factors to your issue.
All our treatments are tailored to each person, and may include manual techniques, and additional techniques such as acupuncture or shockwave therapy, advice, and an exercise prescription.
For us at CBR Clinics, it is imperative that you understand what we believe is going on, why we are treating you in a certain way, and what the plan is moving forward. If our clients understand the why’s and how’s, it helps to improve their outcomes!
Problem areas we commonly treat
Our osteopaths have experience with people experiencing:
Back Pain
Neck Pain
Shoulder pain and/or stiffness
Headaches linked to neck or upper back tension (cervicogenic headaches)
Hip/pelvic pain or stiffness
Jaw pain, tension, or restriction
Postural issues due to workstation work or prolonged sitting
We also often see people who simply feel “out of balance”, “feeling a bit tight”, or restricted without a clear injury. Those cases often have a link to cumulative stress, overwork, or a lack of stress outlets.
Treatment options available at CBR Clinics
Osteopathy at CBR Clinics can be used on its own or alongside other services, depending on your needs and goals. Treatment may include:
• Manual joint mobilisation and articulation
• Soft tissue and muscle release techniques
• Postural and biomechanics assessment
• Advice on lifestyle, daily activities, and work setup
• Exercises to improve strength, mobility, and conditioning
Being a multidisciplinary clinic, it is common that clients are referred between services. Please keep in mind that we will discuss with you early in the sessions if we feel you would benefit from physiotherapy, clinical pilates, strength & conditioning, massage, or any other service we offer. Rarely is a single approach appropriate, and to ensure clients have long-term results, we tend to work together as a team.
Our osteopathy team and clinical standards
All osteopaths at CBR Clinics have a minimum of two years’ experience, are registered with the GOsC, and have experience in several different conditions (see “Problem areas we commonly treat”). They are used to treating both acute and chronic, more complex presentations, as well as supporting individuals who want to stay active through strength and conditioning training, working, and living without limitations.
As a business, CBR places a strong emphasis on clinical reasoning, a research-based approach, effective communication, and teamwork amongst different specialties. Your osteopath will often liaise with their colleagues in the clinic to ensure everyone is on board with the goals of your treatment so that your care stays consistent.
Osteopathy for pain, movement, and long-term health
People visit CBR for osteopathy treatments for so many reasons. Some are in pain and have tried everything else to no results. Others want to feel less stiff on a day-to-day basis. And a few want to prevent issues from ever becoming more serious.
Our mission is to help you understand your body better, treat you physically, and ultimately help you make better decisions for your health and lifestyle.
