Our light and spacious clinic rooms are nestled within the Pilates studios of the well-known Greenwich Fitness and Pilates, a community of runners and people seeking strength and mobility. A passion we wholeheartedly embrace.

REDUCING PAIN OFTEN LIES IN MOVEMENT AND STRENGTH

If you are seeking relief from pain, you will likely be offered hands-on therapy to increase your joint range of motion, decrease stiffness or relax your muscles. Your lifestyle, free-time and activity levels will be considered when establishing how you can best serve yourself through movement and strength work to enhance your recovery from pain.

And that’s not all… we don’t limit ourselves to providing pain relief. Osteopathy promotes great body function and is therefore a powerful adjunct when you are increasing levels of activity, or tackling endurance sports. Osteopathy can be utilised to reduce sporting injuries that threaten to derail your goals!

  • 5-star massage with Laura, who is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I'm feeling relaxed and recovered from my post-marathon soreness. Will definitely book with Laura again!

  • Laura is a great osteopath, I came in for some back pain which she assessed and explained thoroughly. Treatment was very effective and I felt the benefit immediately. Would thoroughly recommend.

  • I have recently seen Laura for treatment following fracture and surgery to my leg and foot. I had been confined to bed and Laura gave me deep breathing exercises and exercises from neck to toes to be done in bed. I found her whole approach encouraging and gentle with very clear instruction. She went as far as to make a video of me doing each exercise to remind me of what I should be doing. I can recommend Laura and have really benefited from her treatment. - Post-surgery on bed rest (home visit).

  • I can highly recommend Laura, she's been treating my back and hip pain, and after a series of appointments I finally feel so much better. I am back to running pain free, and feel able to work at my desk all day without pain. She is very professional and knowledgeable and I always feel at ease during treatments. Laura listens and questions to understand my issues and always provided detailed information so I could understand what was going on, and what to expect from treatment. I feel very looked after!

  • I went to see Laura about a hip related issue and then a subsequent related hamstring issue. Laura was really methodical and went through my case history and put together a stretching program as well as doing some manipulation and after a consultation and two follow ups I had made a lot of progress and was able to successfully complete my marathon I was training for. Laura listened careful, did some observations but also confirmed what my goals were and helped me to achieve them. As a runner herself she understood what I was going through and used that to help me. Finally she followed up bilaterally with messages to check how I was and how my race went which is above and beyond what I expected. I felt very looked after and it was very personal attention so I would really recommend Laura!

  • Laura is a professional in osteopathy. I went for a post London-marathon sports massage, and it was just amazing. From stretching to massage, you will feel just great after the session. Thanks a million Laura and good luck for your personal marathons and utlras!

    Firas BouZeineddine, Dubai

  • I can highly recommend Laura. I came to her with tension and pain on my shoulders and she was able to help relieve my symptoms. I found Laura to have extremely good active listening skills and is very knowledgeable in her field. She takes a holistic approach in her assessment which I particularly appreciated. Thank you Laura for your help!

  • I’d highly recommend booking an appointment with Laura. The lymphatic drainage massage eased my deep sinus congestion and helped relieve my persistent sinus headaches. Laura is professional, knowledgeable, and spends the time assessing the route of the problem. I felt at ease, looked after, and extremely satisfied with the treatment, not having had this kind of session before. I also left with tips to manage my symptoms going forward. As a runner she’ll be top of my call list for any future injuries.

    H. Castle, Lee

  • I had two sessions with Laura and I really recommend her as an osteoparh! She was very thorough in her assessment and any time she would have to do hands on manipulation she would tell me what she did, why and would always check that I was okay and comfortable with it. She also gave me some exercises for me to do at home to prevent the pain from coming back. I highly recommend booking with Laura and I know I’ll definitely contact her again if I need!

    M. Atangana

  • Laura has a very caring, sympathetic manner, non- judgemental and has expert knowledge. She offers hands on manipulation and advice on appropriate exercises to help you alleviate your pain.

    Ian Crossen, Ladywell

  • Excellent treatment and care. Quality Osteo practice for my sports injury. Experienced, insightful and knowledgable. Brought me through from diagnosis to recovery with focused 1:1 hands on sessions plus a clear programme of self-led exercises.

    M. Wilde, Lewisham

  • Well I have just been diagnosed with MND (motor neuron disease). This gives me very painful joints and weakened muscles. Laura gave me some treatment that really helped with this and made it a lot less painful than it had been. Highly recommend and I’ll be booking again very soon thank you laura. - (home visit)
