Harley Street Osteopaths

Harley Street Osteopaths comprises a group of highly skilled osteopaths with over 50 years of collective experience.

Osteopathy can help the following conditions: back, neck and shoulder pain, sports injuries, joint, ligament and tendon strains, postural problems, repetitive strain and overuse syndromes, stress related tension and whiplash.

We offer expert assessment and treatment including complementary approaches for an integrated approach to musculoskeletal problems. We take computerised postural measurements to monitor the outcome of preventative strategies. We also work closely with other specialists and exercise facilities.

Our specialists also provide pre- and post-natal care, and treatment of infants and children.

About the group: We are a group of practitioners dedicated to working with muscular and skeletal pain. We include a core of experienced osteopaths with different area of special interest and expertise. An acupuncturist, physiotherapist/osteopath and massage therapist all with the same shared focus on a team approach.

Our assessment: As in any branch of medicine the key to effective treatment is thorough assessment & diagnosis. That is why the initial consultation is for an hour, to enable the right approach and thus minimise the number of treatment sessions. In many cases a preventative assessment can prevent the need for treatment at a later date. Problems identified early on can be resolved much more rapidly than waiting until the onset of acute pain.

Our treatment: Many people expect a visit to an osteopath to be a traumatic experience! Something involving physical contortions and screams! Our treatment is not routine. We apply the appropriate techniques for the problems identified in the context of the individual patient's own body. We offer a variety of means to achieve the desired ends. Having many skills at the gentle end of the spectrum also enables the treatment of infants and young people.

Our complementary approaches: We incorporate an acupuncturist with wide experience of muscle and nerve pain, another with expertise in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, a physiotherapist who is also trained as an osteopath and a highly experienced massage therapist.

Our other specialists: Working in the heart of London's medical area we are able to make referrals and work closely with allied services such as podiatry, orthodontics and imaging services (x-rays and MRI scans). We have close links with other medical specialists and orthopaedic & neurosurgical opinions can be organised if indicated.

Exercise facilities: We have contacts with many gyms, Pilates Studios, Kieser Training, Alexander Technique and individual trainers. Within our fully computerised practice environment we are able to advise and monitor progress with the appropriate training, thus building an effective bridge to this key area of common endeavour.

Computerised postural measurements: We are unique in being the first integrated musculoskeletal health clinic to be using 'Lizard' technology. A computerised system designed, by an Italian engineer, to objectively measure standing posture and thus analyse problems more effectively and track patients' progress with treatment and exercise.

Infants and children: Although we hope not to have to see younger patients we are fully able to work with them using very gentle treatment and ensure their full recovery from any injury and help them overcome any inherited problems as far as is possible. Our computerised tracking is a very helpful way of monitoring problems before deciding if treatment is appropriate.
