Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating the causes of pain, stiffness and damaged parts of the body such as ligaments, nerves and joints. When the body is balanced and efficient it will function with minimum wear and tear. 

The therapist will discuss and record your medical history in detail as well as fully examine you to gain insight into your problem. This full diagnosis of the problem will enable the osteopath to tailor a treatment plan to your needs.

The first appointment will be 45 to 60 min, follow ups generally 30 mins

Osteopathy can be used to treat a variety of common conditions including postural, sport injuries, neuralgia (nerve pain), arthritic and chronic pain. A variety of techniques may be used within your session for pain management and to improve any underlying dysfunctions including soft tissue release, gentle joint manipulation, mobilisation techniques, stretching and sometimes cranial techniques (a very gentle technique, which can be helpful for babies, stress or support with system concerns).

If you're not sure if Osteopathy is right for you, read our helpful blog that looks at the difference between Physiotherapy and Osteopathy. 

All of our therapists are registered with the Health & Care Professions Council.

Osteopaths have individual contracts with BUPA and will claim on your behalf once you let us have your membership and authorisation numbers, which are needed prior to treatment. Whilst we are recognised by all other major insurance companies (osteopathy is not covered under AXA Health, but we do have a contract for physiotherapy), you will be expected to pay at the time of treatment and we shall issue receipts in order for you to claim. 

For babies and infants, please book with Charles Lim, all appointments are 30 mins

  • This is the second time that Carry has helped me with various pains in my legs and feet - and she never lets me accept that it's just part of 'getting older'! I'm a 44 year old ad exec who's mainly desk-based but loves running and cycling in the little free time available, so to be in pain while doing those things is a pain mentally too. What Carry is so good at is helping get to the cause of the issues - as it's rarely where the pain is currently residing. Over a few sessions we've eliminated various causes of pain, found simple exercises to get rid of the pain, and talked about the difference between necessary 'protective' pain vs pain that is not something to be worried about. Understanding the whys and wherefores has been key to getting better, and the lifestyle changes quite minimal once the issues were identified. Carry is also incredibly thorough and approaches pain issues comprehensively and intelligently, so you always feel as though you're in the right hands. Not only has she helped me, but I've recommended her to friends and family and she's been able to help them too (which is always a relief when you recommend someone).

  • Please could you pass on my thanks and gratitude to Carry Triggs Hodge, as I was able to get home pain free after my appointment last night AND have had a nights sleep without any discomfort - it's amazing! Thank you all for the brilliance of expertise and kindness under one roof!

  • Christian provided me with most gentle, pain free treatments in spite of me coming to the clinic with severe acute neck pain. I felt more flexible and pain free, increasingly after each visit - the third visit nearly cured me. The speediest recovery I ever had. He also gave me lots of advice and preventative tips to correct my posture. I feel great again after my fourth visit and I have learnt more about how to prevent my spine getting sore in the future. Thank you so much!

  • Sabrina is an extremely talented osteopath, her professional and warming approach made me feel at ease from my first treatment. Having seen a few different practitioners after suffering an accident last year, Sabrina has been the only one to get to the root of my problem and with the correct treatment for me and an exercise plan, I have come a long way and finally feel like myself again. I would highly recommend Sabrina and can’t thank her enough for helping me recover.

  • I see Camilla for her osteopathic treatment and Sinsook for acupuncture. They are both very professional and informative, I wouldn't change a thing. I've had treatments done in multiple countries and I find White Hart Clinic very good.

  • When I began my treatments back in February I had such persistent chest (back and shoulder) pains that I could not enjoy life due to the pain, but some 6 months on the pains are long gone. All thanks to Christian Lutz's superb treatments. The service I have received at the Clinic is excellent.
