WHAT WE DO

Osteopath & Physio treatments in Farnborough

An osteopath is a registered healthcare professional who aims to improve people’s overall health and wellness with osteopathic manipulative techniques, which involves stretching, massaging, and manipulating the musculoskeletal system.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing a variety of musculoskeletal problems anywhere in the body, by manipulating, stretching and massaging the muscles and joints.

Osteopaths can advise on rehabilitation exercises and we may advise combining treatments with Pilates, Yoga or Core conditioning classes.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy (or physical therapy) is a science-based healthcare profession that restores, maintains, and maximizes movement and functional ability affected by injury, illness, or disability. It uses physical approaches—such as exercise, education, and manual therapy—to ease pain and improve quality of life.

Massage Therapy

Sports massage Therapy (Medium/firm pressure) is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, can enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.

Acupuncture/Dry Needling

Dry needling or Western Medical Acupuncture or less commonly known as IMS (intra muscular stimulation) is an adaptation of Chinese Acupuncture. It acts by stimulating the nervous and muscular system and is mainly used to treat joint and muscle problems, including trigger point pain and muscle knots.

It can also be effective for post-operative pain, relaxation, sleeping problems and numerous other conditions.

Core conditioning

Functional exercise or Core conditioning involves specific exercises that will develop and strengthen all muscles of the trunk, pelvis and abdomen. The exercises used will also recruit all the muscles in the body by the individual performing dynamic and functional exercises.

These core sessions will involve some pilates and yoga moves, however the main focus will be on floor exercise, balance work with weights and resistance band strengthening techniques.

Classes are tailored for every individual young to elderly. This type of exercise has many benefits, including increased muscular strength and endurance. Reduction of aches and pains. Improvement in sports and exercise performance in their chosen activities. Improved posture.

These core sessions can be combined with osteopath/massage treatments to gain maximum overall goals.

TESTIMONIALS

What clients say

James is a very effective osteopath who has taken care of a number of my injuries over the years. Very knowledgeable and just a good bloke! I would recommend him unreservedly.

David

Always great treatment from James. Good availability when I need it and also recommend periodic preventative maintenance visits.

Steve

James treated me for severe lower back pain and I was back on my feet in no time. He gave me lots of useful advice and some specific exercises for my back, I now see him regularly to avoid any recurrence and I feel better than I have done in ages.

Daniel

Can’t rate James highly enough. Have had several issues over the years and James has managed to relieve them in super quick time.

Justin

James is amazing he has really helped with my back issues. He always goes that extra mile to help you out and is someone I would highly recommend.

Debbie

James is truly a master in his craft! I met James by chance a couple of years ago and as soon as I found out he is an osteopath, I started seeing him regularly. Sometimes I refer to James as a magician because seriously, he is!! Except there’s no smoke screen, it’s all real!
He understands the body, which muscles hurt and why. He shares his knowledge with me so I can really understand what to do to take care of myself. I’ve had severe neck and shoulder pains since my mid-20s and almost 25 years later, I can happily say that I’m managing it so much better now. Combining the exercises James gave me to do with the deep tissue massages where it matters have made all the difference. I wish I had met him before.
His price is very affordable to me (not that I can compare with others as I had only seen a chiropractor before)
The treatment room is spacious and the building is really accessible in Farnborough.
I very highly recommend anyone to see James… nothing to lose and everything to gain!
My husband is now also seeing James.
Thanks for the great care you provide James! And it helps that you are a good guy! 😊

I had been experiencing shoulder and neck pain since which was stopping me sleeping and affecting my work. I was determined not to rely on pain medication so went to see James as he had been recommended by a colleague. Was the best decision I made! A few treatment later, I was pain free and feeling normal again.

Michaela

James is brilliant, my family and I have been going to him for years. He’s the best and very knowledgeable. I currently go to James for maintenance/ sports massage and always feel great afterwards. Thank you James!

Clayton

I’m very happy with the treatment I have received from this Clinic. During my first pregnancy I suffered terribly with back problems and since then had an ongoing lower back and hips pain. It wasn’t until recently though when my lower back was extremely painful and I decided to seek professional help.

I phoned the clinic and James was happy to see me the same day. After one treatment I felt a lot better, after the second treatment and exercises given by James I finally seem to be free of back pain. It’s the first time since almost 3 years.

Thank you so much James!

Izabela

I have visited James for a number of issues, from stiff neck and shoulders to RSI in my wrists and forearms, all of which he has helped me with. I have also benefited from core exercise sessions that he offers, as these have made me stronger and have helped keep muscular ailments at bay. I would highly recommend Pure Health Clinic – James has a very pleasant manner and puts you at ease.

Miss PG

James is a credit to his profession. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and has a wealth of experience in his line of work, complimented by his calm and understanding manner. This time last week I was in excruciating pain and now, thanks to James I am pain free.

James is treating my back issue with massage and acupuncture and has given me some exercises to do at home to continue to improve the flexibility and strength in my back. He has also provided invaluable advice on the types of exercise classes which would be good to attend in the future and the reasons why.

I cannot recommend James highly enough.

Helen

James is just brilliant – really helped me with a neck and tmj issue – I had never been to an Osteopath before or had dry needling / medical acupuncture – but had seen several other physios who weren’t much help – James is very hands on, engaging and the only one who sorted it out. He has a spacious treatment room in a nice modern office building near Farnborough with free parking in the quiet roads outside. He is also reasonably priced compared to many other practitioners. Would highly recommend.

James is truly excellent – he was recommended to us some years ago and we haven’t looked back. My son uses him from time to time for sports massage and to iron out any rugby and cricket induced injuries or niggles – he is very thorough and attentive and always explains everything in a very informative and helpful manner. I strongly recommend James – his professional help has been outstanding. 👏👏

Alistair

I recently visited James as I had headaches due to chronic pain in my neck.
He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and has a deep understanding of how the body works. He did massage and acupuncture and advised on exercises and posture improvements to help longer term.
I am very happy to recommend him onwards.

Jaqui

Jim is great at his job, have been visiting him for years to keep the back in great shape, can highly recommend!

Aaron

I have been in serious pain for a number of months, with countless nights of either no or lack of sleep. James first takes time to listen to your condition with a thorough assessment, understands what is required gets to work on the root cause.

I saw the benefits straight away, and back in the gym and playing football and being an active dad, so comes highly recommended from me.
