Osteopathy in Guildford

At Back to Health Wellness Guildford Chiropractic Clinic, our experienced osteopath team provides expert manual therapy combining osteopathy, chiropractic care, sports massage, and rehabilitation techniques to help relieve pain, restore mobility, and support long-term recovery.
 
Personalised hands-on treatment for pain, stiffness and movement problems
 
If you’re looking for an osteopath in Guildford, Back to Health Wellness provides personalised osteopathic care for people experiencing back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint stiffness, muscle tension, sports injuries and other musculoskeletal problems.
 
Our osteopathy approach combines a detailed assessment with hands-on treatment, soft tissue techniques, mobility work and rehabilitation exercises where appropriate. Rather than simply treating the area that hurts, we take time to understand your symptoms, how they developed and how they are affecting your everyday life.
 
Our aim is to help you understand your problem, improve your movement and give you practical ways to support your recovery.

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a drug-free, hands-on treatment approach that focuses on-
 
Improving joint mobility
Releasing muscular tension
Enhancing posture and alignment
Supporting the body’s natural healing process
 
Our osteopath guildford team combines manual therapy with exercise prescription to deliver long-term results.
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system – including the muscles, joints, spine and surrounding tissues – and how these areas work together.
 
An osteopath uses a range of techniques depending on the individual patient. These may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue treatment, stretching, massage and, where appropriate, spinal manipulation.
 
Treatment isn’t the same for everyone.
 
Some people may benefit from gentle mobilisation and soft tissue work, while others may require a combination of manual treatment and specific exercises to improve strength, mobility or movement.
 
At Back to Health Wellness, we believe that understanding your symptoms is an important part of treatment. We therefore take time to assess you, explain what we have found and discuss the options available to you.
 
Where appropriate, your treatment may also include exercises and advice that you can use between appointments.

What can an osteopath in Guildford help with?

People seek osteopathic treatment for many different types of pain, stiffness and movement problems.
 
These can include:
 
Lower back pain
Neck pain
Shoulder pain and stiffness
Hip pain
Sciatica
Muscle tension
Joint stiffness
Sports and activity-related injuries
Repetitive strain problems
Reduced mobility
Postural and movement-related problems
Musculoskeletal pain following changes in activity
 
Some problems develop suddenly, perhaps after lifting something, exercising or an injury. Others develop gradually through repetitive movements, changes in activity, prolonged sitting or other everyday factors.
 
An assessment helps us understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and whether osteopathic treatment is appropriate.

Osteopathy for back pain in Guildford

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic treatment.
 
Back pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may develop after an injury or change in activity, or gradually over time.
 
You may experience:
 
Aching or stiffness in the lower back
Pain when sitting or standing
Discomfort when bending or lifting
Reduced movement
Pain extending into the hip or leg
Muscle tightness or tension
 
There isn’t one treatment that is right for every type of back pain.
 
Your osteopath will assess your symptoms and movement and consider your medical history before recommending an appropriate approach.
 
Treatment may include hands-on techniques, soft tissue work, mobility exercises and advice about gradually returning to normal activity.
 
If your symptoms suggest that you need further medical investigation or another type of healthcare, we will explain this and recommend the appropriate next step.

Neck and shoulder pain

Neck and shoulder problems can make everyday activities uncomfortable.
 
Working at a computer, driving, sleeping, exercising or simply turning your head can become difficult when movement is restricted or muscles around the neck and shoulders become painful or tense.
 
During your assessment, we look at the movement of your neck, shoulders and upper back and consider the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
 
Depending on your individual assessment, treatment may include:
 
Gentle joint mobilisation
Soft tissue techniques
Stretching
Mobility exercises
Advice about movement and activity
Strengthening exercises where appropriate
 
The aim is not simply to make the area feel better temporarily, but to help you understand the problem and work towards better movement and function.

Osteopathy for sports injuries and active lifestyles

You don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from sports-focused osteopathic care.
 
We see runners, gym-goers, cyclists, recreational athletes and people who simply want to stay active.
 
Sports and activity-related problems can arise from an acute injury, repeated loading, changes in training or returning to exercise too quickly after a period of inactivity.
 
Osteopathic treatment can form part of a wider rehabilitation programme.
 
Depending on your individual needs, this may include hands-on treatment, soft tissue techniques, mobility work, strengthening exercises and advice about returning to activity.
 
Our goal is to help you return to the activities you enjoy safely and confidently.
If you’re looking for an osteopath in Guildford, Back to Health Wellness provides personalised osteopathic treatment for a wide range of muscle, joint and movement problems.
 
Our approach combines hands-on treatment with movement advice and rehabilitation exercises where appropriate. We take time to understand your symptoms, how they affect your everyday life and what you want to get back to doing.

Would (and have) recommend back to health wellness. Treatment and care based on science and fully listening to the needs of the patient. Andrew has made a big difference to my back pain and migraines already, and is very knowledgeable with what he does.

Andrew's passion for his work is obvious from the first visit, his enthusiasm and clear explanations of the root cause of an injury really help you understand an injury and set you on the right track towards recovery. While I was not able to complete the full plan of sessions for my rehabilitation due to time constraints, his explanations and exercise plans have helped me continue making progress after our sessions had ended.

From my first visit in Aug 2020, when I was in constant low level pain with numb feet following spinal surgery 3 years previously and 6 months of working from home at a screen, Andrew has been remarkable. He put me at ease instantly, and his level of knowledge and expertise meant I had no reservation about signing up to the adjustment/correction package. He has been fully invested in my treatment, ensuring I wanted to put the work in in between sessions to get maximum results. Sticking to the plan with traction, exercises and regular corrections over 17 months, my spine is stronger and more stable than it has ever been, achieving near perfect vertical alignment and my pelvis has equally improved horizontally. I can walk taller, further and longer. Andrew is exceptional in his approach and I’ll be forever grateful. Apparently this structural change is for keeps with a little maintenance; a small price to pay and a delight working with such a lovely chap.

Been with Back to Health for about 2 years or so and always been treated by Andrew. Service is brilliant, always very helpful and come away from every session feeling a lot better than when I'd come in. Due to the excellent treatment from Andrew, there have been noticeable improvements in my movement! Have been to other chiros previously and the combination of muscle work and chiro adjustments really made me feel this is the best place I've been to.
“Excellent service! I’ve needed to see an Osteopath Guildford for years now and this is one of the best – they actually fixed the source of my spinal issue and got everything back into shape rather than just a quick fix like I’ve experienced at other places. They are so friendly and funny as well – I quite enjoy seeing this Osteopath Guildford regularly!”

“Mike is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and Andrew, the Osteopath Guildford, is extremely skilful. I am amazed at the vast improvement in my shoulder after just two appointments with this Osteopath Guildford”.
