Back Pain Treatment
Our osteopaths specialize in addressing mechanical back pain through soft tissue manipulation and joint mobilization. We target muscle imbalances and posture-related issues contributing to chronic discomfort. Treatment combines manual techniques with tailored exercise programs to prevent recurrence, supported by patient testimonials showing measurable improvements in mobility and pain reduction.
Sports Injury Therapy
We treat sports-related musculoskeletal injuries using targeted myofascial release and rehabilitative stretching. Our approach accelerates healing for tendon strains and ligament damage while maintaining athletic performance standards. Patients receive sport-specific strengthening exercises, with recovery timelines documented through follow-up assessments and functional movement analysis.
Postural Correction
This service addresses work-related musculoskeletal strain through comprehensive posture analysis and corrective interventions. We employ muscle energy techniques and ergonomic advice to resolve repetitive strain injuries. Treatment outcomes include reduced neck tension and headache frequency, supported by posture re-education protocols developed from clinical research.
Headache Management
Our specialists address cervicogenic headaches through cervical spine mobilization and trigger point therapy. Treatment focuses on reducing muscular tension in the neck and upper back regions responsible for referred pain patterns. Patients receive self-management strategies that have demonstrated effectiveness in eliminating medication dependency through documented case studies.
Rehabilitation Programs
Personalized rehabilitation includes progressive stretching routines and core stability exercises. These programs maintain treatment benefits between sessions while preventing condition recurrence. Exercises are modified according to individual progress, with ongoing support through follow-up consultations ensuring sustained improvements in functional movement patterns.

Jamie is excellent. I have been seeing him regularly over the last year, and he offers great treatments, and brilliant advice for stretches and exercises to keep up at home. Couldn't recommend Jamie enough - thanks again!

Jamie was fantastic, he treated an injury I had in my lower back and helped me to understand how it happened and how I could prevent it in the future. He is really friendly and attentive and a session with him makes a big difference to how my back feels.

Kind staff. The osteopath made sure to get to the root of the issue and noticed a huge difference in my back movement. I was given daily exercises as part of a long term way to strengthen my back muscles. Overall, great experience.

Report
I highly recommend Central Oxford Osteopathy. I recently needed sessions on my shoulder after a car accident and can honestly say Jenny and on one occasion, Jamie worked wonders! Jenny works in a holistic way and also shared with me insights, knowledge and podcasts about healing, and mindset to aid my recovery. I found this holistic approach along with Jenny's genuinely caring attitude a great boost and aid to my recovery. The exercises I was given really made a difference and have become part of my daily routine. I really cant thank them enough or recommend this practise highly enough.

I saw Jenny about some really bad shoulder pain. She was thorough and but was also good at making me feel comfortable and adapting her work and the exercises to me. I came back for three more sessions in the end and my shoulders have been so much better. They're also well set up with Covid-19 safety and I felt completely comfortable. Strongly recommend.
