Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy services use hands-on techniques to treat musculoskeletal conditions, restoring mobility and alleviating pain. We address structural imbalances through joint manipulation, soft tissue work, and postural correction. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans that consider physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors affecting their condition.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments stimulate the body's natural healing through precise needle placement at meridian points. This traditional Chinese medicine approach effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Our practitioners combine ancient techniques with modern medical understanding for comprehensive care.
Sports Injuries
Specialized treatment for sports-related injuries focuses on rapid recovery and injury prevention. We employ biomechanical analysis, soft tissue techniques, and rehabilitation exercises to restore function. Our approach helps athletes return to peak performance while addressing underlying factors contributing to injuries.
Cranial Osteopathy
This subtle approach works with the body's natural rhythms to release restrictions in the cranial and spinal regions. Using light touch techniques, we address tension patterns that affect overall wellbeing. Particularly beneficial for headaches, sinus issues, and stress-related conditions.
Paediatric Osteopathy
Gentle osteopathic treatment for infants and children addresses developmental issues and musculoskeletal concerns. Our practitioners have specialized training to work safely with young patients, using extremely mild techniques that involve parental participation throughout the treatment process.

Questions
What musculoskeletal conditions do you treat?
We treat back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, arthritis, postural issues, and conditions affecting all joints. Our osteopaths also specialise in pregnancy-related pain and paediatric care.
How does osteopathy differ from physiotherapy?
Osteopathy takes a whole-body structural approach using hands-on techniques, while physiotherapy often focuses more on exercise rehabilitation. Both aim to improve mobility but with different treatment philosophies.

Yes, we offer 24/7 online booking for all services. You can also contact us directly by phone or email for urgent appointments or specific requests.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement. For sports injuries or lower back issues, bring appropriate attire for physical assessment and treatment.
Do you accept private medical insurance?
We accept major private medical insurance plans. Please check with your provider for coverage details and bring your insurance information to your first appointment.

Report
I work at the London Road Clinic as their Hypnotherapist, and whenever my back has a little tantrum I always seek Alex Earl's help. He has a great rapport with clients and I trust him implicitly. His knowledge and skills as an Osteopath are super and he has become our family Osteopath. Highly recommend.

I visited Alex today after suffering from lower neck pains for the past few weeks. He was very thorough and professional whilst also being friendly and welcoming. After diagnosing my issues he fully explained what they were and advised me what I could do to improve things. The session was not painful at all and I feel very positive about getting back to normal now!
