Registered Osteopath in Brighton
As a registered osteopath with over two decades of experience, I have dedicated my practice to providing hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal pain across all age groups. Since establishing my Brighton clinic in 2001, I have treated patients ranging from newborns to individuals in their 90s, combining my degrees in Osteopathy and Human Anatomy with extensive postgraduate training. My approach prioritises understanding the root causes of discomfort, offering personalised exercises and advice to improve function and prevent recurrence.Patients consistently highlight the calm, supportive environment and the effectiveness of my care, with many returning for ongoing support and recommending my services to others. The clinic's accessibility, free parking, and proximity to public transport make it convenient for patients across Sussex.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal pain including back pain, arthritis, headaches, and sports injuries. Our care extends to posture issues and pregnancy-related discomfort for patients of all ages.
What happens during a first appointment?
Initial consultations last an hour, including medical history review, physical assessment through movement tests, and hands-on treatment. We discuss findings and create a personalised care plan with home exercises.
What should I wear to appointments?
Wear comfortable, loose clothing. You may change into underwear or bring shorts and a vest top if preferred, as we need to assess posture and movement during treatment.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed as osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession. However, we can coordinate with GPs if further medical investigations are required during your care.
How accessible is the clinic?
The Brighton clinic has free off-road parking and level access except for a single step. Located near bus routes 27, 77 and 14 with a 5-minute walk from Dyke Road stops.
