Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy treatments address musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues through hands-on techniques. Practitioners assess posture, joint movement, and muscle function to identify root causes of discomfort. This holistic approach improves flexibility, reduces pain, and enhances overall wellbeing for patients with back pain, sports injuries, or chronic conditions.
Sports Massage
Clinical sports massage targets soft tissue injuries and muscular imbalances in amateur and professional athletes. Therapists use deep tissue techniques to treat sports-related strains, accelerate recovery, and prevent future injuries. Sessions include posture analysis and corrective exercises to improve performance and maintain musculoskeletal health.
Cranial Osteopathy
Specialised cranial osteopathy employs subtle manipulations to release tension in the skull and nervous system. This delicate technique benefits patients with headaches, migraines, and stress-related conditions. Practitioners use precise palpation skills to detect and correct cranial imbalances, promoting natural healing and improved neurological function.
Pregnancy Massage
Tailored pregnancy massage addresses postural changes and discomfort during pregnancy. Therapists use safe, supportive positioning to relieve lower back pain, pelvic strain, and circulation issues. This treatment supports maternal wellbeing while preparing the body for childbirth through targeted muscle relaxation and joint mobilisation.
Home Visits
Professional home visit services deliver osteopathy and sports massage treatments at patients' residences. This convenient option benefits those with mobility challenges or busy schedules. Practitioners bring portable equipment to provide the same high-quality care as clinic appointments in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Great team at GW. I came to GW when my osteopath of 10+ years retired & I was nervous about seeing someone new, but Jen & Gemma have been fantastic. Really took time to understand my back problems & follow a similar treatment plan that I’d received with my previous osteopath. Thank you 🙏🏻

I’ve been to the clinic twice now. Both times they helpfully fitted me in at short notice as I’d twisted my back. Both osteopaths I saw were incredibly thoughtful in describing what I’d done and how they were going to treat me. I have long standing back problems and I’m generally nervous about anyone touching my back. But each time it was so much better afterwards and I felt in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gemma and her team.

I cannot recommend these guys enough. In just two sessions my shoulder and neck discomfort have disappeared!!! The therapy room on their Stoughton Clinic is pristine and the therapist followed all the COVID recommendations. Great service and very professionals. I’m sure they will see more of me 💪🏻

Gemma is absolutely fantastic and wouldn't be without her now. I see her every 5/6 weeks to keep on top of my back problem and she also helps to ease the tension in my upper back from asthma. Gemma absolutely knows her stuff and I trust her implicitly with my care.
