Services
Cranial Osteopathy
Specialised treatment using subtle manipulations to address cranial restrictions in patients of all ages. Effective for birth trauma recovery, chronic headaches, and nervous system imbalances. Our practitioners combine advanced training with compassionate care to relieve pain and improve bodily function through non-invasive techniques.
Musculoskeletal Pain
Targeted interventions for back pain, sciatica, and joint issues through manual therapy and postural correction. We identify biomechanical imbalances causing discomfort and implement tailored treatment plans combining soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, and rehabilitative exercises for lasting pain management and improved mobility.
Sports Injuries
Comprehensive care for sports-related strains, sprains and overuse injuries. Our approach combines soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation and biomechanical assessment to accelerate healing, restore function and prevent recurrence. We provide sport-specific rehabilitation programmes tailored to individual recovery needs and performance goals.
Infant Treatment
Gentle osteopathic care for infants experiencing colic, feeding difficulties or sleep disturbances. Using delicate cranial techniques, we address birth-related tensions affecting nervous system function, helping babies achieve better comfort, improved sleep patterns and enhanced overall development through non-invasive, nurturing interventions.
Postural Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of body mechanics and alignment issues contributing to chronic pain or dysfunction. Through detailed postural analysis and movement screening, we identify compensatory patterns causing musculoskeletal strain, then implement corrective strategies combining manual therapy and targeted exercise prescription.

Report
Andrew is brilliant, he helped our 2 and half week old baby in just 3 sessions. He explained everything clearly and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very patient with our son Ollie and every time we left a session Ollie was so relaxed he slept for a couple of hours straight! Thank you again!

Cranial osteopathy premature baby
Andrew has been treating our daughter, after a traumatic birth and some serious health conditions, our little girl was unsettled and having difficulties with feeding, reflux and going to the toilet.
Andrew listened to all our concerns and started treatment. He was very gentle and our daughter seemed to really relax in his safe hands. We have seen a great improvement in her feeding and toilet issues, as well as her reflux. She is generally much happier and relaxed since our sessions began. I would highly recommend the Billericay osteopathic clinic.

Report
My son stopped sleeping aged 4 months. He hated the car seat and the buggy and refused to sleep for more than 20 to 30 min at a time. After a few months of this torture and having tried everything including gp visits, sleep consultants, etc etc a friend recommended osteopathy. We saw Andrew and within 1 session the relentless crying in the car stopped. After the second session my son started to sleep for 2 to 3 hours at a stretch and now after 4 sessions he is in his own room, in his cot sleeping through the night for a solid 10 to 12 hours. No waking, no crying. My only regret is that I didn't

I first heard of Andrew through my brother and close friend visiting him to help them with their babies with cranial problems. They both highly recommended him. When I became ill with headaches and neck problems, I thought Andrew might be able to help me with cranial massage. He really
helped me with my problem, and made a big difference to my recovery. I recently have had problems with my lower back and have complete faith that he will now be able to help me with that too.
