It is estimated that between 5% and 10% of people will develop chronic low back pain
Do not become a statistic! Back pain can be disabling, especially when you develop muscle spasm, sciatica and it affects your sleep! Trying to fix your low back pain on your own is hard, especially when there is so much conflicting advice coming from all angles such as friends, family and the internet!
After an initial spine check up and just two appointments with Tom, the difference I feel in my back and neck is amazing!
Tom was invaluable to me and my preparations for the Paralympic World Championships and the London 2012 Paralympic Games in the mens discus F57/58 representing Team GB.
Thank you for all your help at training ground when I was Watford Football Club Tom! All the best for the future.

FAQ's
How can You Help Me?
First of all it is worth finding out a little about you, how your back pain started and how long you have had it for.
Once I know your case in more detail, a detailed assessment will allow me to discover the source of your back pain and how your body may be compensated for it or any underlying factors that contribute to it.
What Types of Back Pain do you treat?
- Muscle Strains
- Ligament sprains
- Joint stiffness and pain
- Lumbar Disc pathology
- Sacroiliac Joint dysfunction and pain
- Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.
Do I need to be referred from my GP?
No you do not need a referral from your GP to book in. However, if you have a complicated medical history, a GP consultation is recommended. If you have any concerns, feel free to give me a call to discuss your case beforehand.
What does treatment involve?
In short, many techniques can be used by an Osteopath. These are often tailor-made for you and your specific set of problems/symptoms.
Osteopaths work with their hands using a highly trained sense of touch; treatment will often consist of soft tissue massage, gentle passive mobilisation techniques and specific joint manipulation.
Exercises will also be given for you to do at home to help in-between visits.
How many treatments will I need?
At the end of the consultation which will include an exam a treatment plan will be recommended to you.
If you are suffering from a long-term problem it may take longer to notice an improvement.
Additionally, more people are recognising the need to look after their own health and they elect to attend for regular maintenance treatments to keep on top of symptoms.
Does Osteopathy treatment hurt?
Every treatment to bespoke to you. Some of the areas of your body that are examined and treated may be tender to touch but I will work at a level that you are comfortable with.
It is normal for you to feel a little achy and stiff after a treatment, this will usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours after treatment. If it does not settle or you are worried please feel free to give me a call.
What should I wear?
It is useful for your osteopath to see the area causing the problem. You will normally be asked to remove some of your clothing so that a detailed assessment can be made. Some patients prefer to bring sports shorts to wear. Ladies might chose to wear a thin vest top. You can request that your osteopath leaves the room whilst you undress if you are more comfortable with this.
