Osteopathy, explainedA hands-on therapy recognised worldwide. Dr. Mina is a member of its international academy.

What is osteopathy?

Hands-on treatment that looks for the cause

Many people know osteopathy from videos of joints "cracking". It is much broader than that: the practitioner assesses the whole body and treats joints, vertebrae, muscles and ligaments by hand to restore their natural movement.

  • The body works as one

    Knee pain can start at the pelvis, and a headache can start in your neck. That is why the assessment looks beyond the sore spot.

  • No medication, no surgery

    Manual techniques to realign, release muscles and mobilise joints, suitable for most ages.

  • Works alongside physiotherapy

    Many patients combine osteopathy with rehab exercises so the results last.

Your first visit

No sessions until we know the cause

  1. Assessment

    We listen, then check your movement, posture, exactly where it hurts and what makes it worse.

  2. A plan for you

    We choose the type and number of sessions, and explain how it will go and what to expect.

  3. Sessions and follow-up

    We track your progress every session and give you exercises and advice to continue at home.

Bring any X-rays, scans, lab results or reports you have, and wear comfortable clothes you can move in.

Ask on WhatsApp
Do I need a referral to book?

No, you can book an assessment directly. If you have X-rays, lab results or a report from another doctor, bring them; they help us understand your case faster.

Does osteopathy hurt?

Most techniques are comfortable, and some people feel relief from the first session. You may feel mild soreness for a day afterwards; that is normal and passes on its own.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your condition and how long you've had it. At your first visit we'll outline the expected plan, and we review it each session as you improve.

Is acupuncture safe?

The needles are very fine and sterile, and most people feel only a light prick. We confirm it suits your case at the assessment before using it.

Can I combine services?

Yes, and many patients do: osteopathy with physiotherapy, or lymphatic drainage with clinical nutrition. It all goes into one plan.

What should I wear?

Loose, comfortable clothes you can move in, such as a tracksuit or sportswear.
