Assessment and hands-on treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, with advice and rehabilitation tailored to you.

From initial assessment through to rehabilitation and returning to sport, we'll help you understand the problem and build a plan around your goals.

Targeted soft-tissue treatment for muscle tension, recovery, mobility and people looking after their bodies through sport, exercise or everyday life.

Assessment and treatment for back and neck problems, whether they've appeared suddenly or have become a recurring part of everyday life.

Assessment of musculoskeletal factors that may be contributing to certain headaches, jaw discomfort or problems involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

A gentle osteopathic approach using subtle hands-on techniques as part of an individual assessment and treatment plan.

Gentle, age-appropriate osteopathic assessment and care for younger patients, with time to listen to parents and explain what we find.

Individual osteopathic care during and after pregnancy, focusing on the musculoskeletal changes and physical demands that can accompany this period.
Understanding how your problem affects you is an important part of understanding the problem itself. Your appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms, health, lifestyle and what you would like to achieve.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. We combine clinical assessment, hands-on treatment, movement and rehabilitation according to what we find and what is appropriate for you.
We want you to leave with a better understanding of what's happening, not simply a list of things you shouldn't do.
Where appropriate, we'll discuss factors that may be contributing to your problem and what you can do outside the treatment room to support your recovery.
Pain isn't always as simple as the place that hurts. Our assessment considers your movement, previous injuries, activity, work and other relevant factors to build a broader picture.

Will is by far away the best osteopath I have seen in 35 years since I first experienced a lower back problem in my 20s! He is knowledgeable in several different disciplines and treatments. I have been seeing him for over two years now and there has been a very noticeable improvement in my back, neck and knee problems. He is easy to get on with and the exercises he recommends are simple to do. Thank you Will.
The whole team is fantastic! I have been regularly for all my various injuries from years of sports, I have always been taken care of by Will, Jacob and Sophie! They really take their time to assess what's going on and tailor the treatment to what my body needs, it sometimes feels achey for a day or so but then I feel like a new man! Trust these guys completely and couldn't recommend them enough
I saw Will for only four sessions. For a severe nerve issue that had been going on for six months, within those four sessions he completely got rid of all pain, along with solving the root cause of the issue. I have now been pain free for months. First time I had been to an Osteopath so wasn’t sure what to expect. But cannot recommend him enough, worth every penny and will be going back in the future if I need too.
Your first appointment gives us time to talk about the problem, your general health and anything else that may be relevant.
We'll then carry out an appropriate physical assessment. We'll explain what we find, discuss the options with you and, where appropriate, begin treatment during the appointment.
You'll have the opportunity to ask questions throughout.
Please reach us at hello@firsttouchosteo.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No. You can book directly with First Touch Osteopathy without a referral from your GP.
Depending on the area being assessed, your osteopath may need to observe how different parts of your body move. Comfortable clothing is useful and we'll explain what is required during your appointment.
There isn't a standard number. This depends on the problem, how long you've had it, your general health, your goals and how you respond.
We'll discuss this with you rather than automatically booking you into a predetermined course of treatment.
Where it's clinically appropriate and there is sufficient time following your consultation and assessment, treatment can usually begin at your first appointment.




Or if you're not sure where to start, we're happy to discuss how we may be able to help you.
