Services
Low Back Pain Treatment
Specialised management for acute and chronic low back pain using evidence-based manual techniques. Combines spinal mobilisation, muscle energy techniques, and postural re-education to address disc bulges, sciatica, and osteoarthritis. Treatment focuses on restoring mobility while minimising nerve irritation through progressive rehabilitation strategies.
Neck Pain Management
Comprehensive approach to neck pain incorporating soft tissue therapy and joint mobilisation. Addresses cervicobrachial neuralgia, disc herniations, and thoracic outlet syndrome without high-risk manipulations. Treatment includes ergonomic advice and neuromuscular retraining to prevent recurrence while maintaining vascular safety protocols.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Targeted rehabilitation for sports-related musculoskeletal injuries. Utilises myofascial release and functional movement analysis to treat conditions like rotator cuff injuries and hamstring strains. Programmes integrate sport-specific biomechanics to restore performance capabilities while preventing re-injury through progressive loading protocols.
Joint Mobilisation
Gentle manual techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce pain across multiple regions. Addresses sacroiliac dysfunction, knee osteoarthritis, and ankle restrictions using graded oscillatory movements. Treatment aims to restore normal arthrokinematic motion while respecting tissue tolerance and inflammatory responses.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Specialised technique targeting fascial restrictions in conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. Applies sustained pressure to myofascial trigger points to release tension and improve circulation. Combined with stretching protocols to address adhesions affecting shoulder mobility, carpal tunnel syndrome, and piriformis syndrome.

Hugo is brilliant! I am a doctor and realise that some people can be sceptical of alternative therapies such as Osteopathy, but my experience has been nothing short of EXCELLENT! I have seen Hugo maybe 4 times over the last 2 years and he has really helped my neck and lower back symptoms in ways that more conventional therapies like physiotherapy haven't. Great for sports injuries or more chronic pain. I would sincerely recommend!

Excellent allied health practitioner!
Hugo is professional and extremely skilled.
Hugo treats me every few months on average and has solved a variety of issues - headaches, shoulder / thoracic back pain, and most recently chronic ankle pain due to a sprain.
100% recommend (and frequently do!) absolutely worth the money.

I have been tolerating and suffering an upper back pain with tension headaches for years. Normally, I have a high tolerance for pain (or maybe I am just used to it) whilst the occasional pain killer does the trick sometimes.
However, with the pain tolerance comes the added exhaustion, irritability, headaches and sleepiness mainly due to energy being dispensed trying to suppress the pain from around my upper back and neck area. Sometimes the pain is debilitating, hinders from going about with life with excess hours sometimes spent in bed trying to ease pain (or I let sleep take over, if I can fall

I have been bothered by a sore back for a month before deciding to go see an osteopath. I got a really quick answer and appointement from Saad osteopathy. He managed to relieve the soreness in my back really quickly and professionally. Definitely recommend!
