We are an Osteopathic and Foot Health clinic based in Ickenham, Wooburn Green (High Wycombe) and Welwyn Garden City.
Approach
The comfort of you, the patient, is important to us and we try to make your treatments as comfortable and relaxed as possible. We appreciate that you are a person, not just a 'bit that hurts'. As such, we take into account as many aspects of you and your lifestyle as we can when formulating a plan for treatment, which needs to be practical as well as effective.
Exercise plans are often incorporated to prevent further occurrences of your problem and minimise the amount of visits. These are given as clear instruction sheets to your email with links to online video demonstrations.

Please call for further information about your particular symptoms or problem as everyone is individual and our treatment may not be for you. Even if you have an appointment, if we judge that we cannot treat you after your examination there will be no charge and would normally refer you towards a suitable practitioner via your GP with a letter of our findings. The exceptions to this are if you are in your first trimester, (in which case we cannot treat and would need to wait until you entered your second trimester), and children under 6 weeks who should be cared for by your midwife and GP.
