Getting you out of pain and moving freely
Expert osteopathy in Crystal Palace for pain relief, injury recovery and better movement
Our practice is conveniently located within The Walkthrough, a fantastic and much beloved refill shop at 40 Westow Street. There is free parking behind the nearby Sainsbury’s, or street parking outside, as well as convenient transport links with Gipsy Hill Station 10 minutes walk away and many bus stops near by to help with access from Anerley, Norwood, Sydenham and Penge.
We do need to go upstairs to get to our room so if for any reason that could be a problem you may prefer to look at appointments at our sister clinic, West Dulwich Osteopaths.
It couldn’t be easier to book an appointment with us online. We are available throughout the week including some evenings and weekends.

Clear Recovery Plan
We will advise you on how to support your recovery and maintain good results in the long-term.
Low Back & Neck Pain
Low back pain affects 80% percent of us at some time in our lives. It can affect anyone of any age, often the result of a muscle strain or spinal joint sprain. Occasionally problems with your neck or back give rise to pain, tingling or numbness in your arm or leg. Our Osteopaths will help you understand the cause of your back pain and provide treatment to speed up your recovery. Using massage, articulation of the joints and occasionally manipulation (if appropriate) we can get your spine working as healthily as possible.
Manual therapy is recommended for low back pain by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) – read the guidelines here.
Knee & Hip Pain
The knees are major weight-bearing joints and are one of the most frequently injured areas of the body. They are particularly susceptible to sporting injury as many skiers and footballers will testify! Pain in these large joints can be debilitating, but most knee problems recover well with the right advice and treatment. Even the aching and stiffness of arthritis can be eased with osteopathic care. Osteoarthritis is also a very common problem in the hip and osteopathic treatment alongside the right sort of exercise can be effective in keeping you active and comfortable.
Shoulder Problems
Shoulder pain can result from a number of problems including rotator cuff overuse or injury, frozen shoulder and degenerative conditions. It can limit how well we can use our arm in everyday activities. It can also make it really difficult to get a comfortable night’s sleep! More so than other areas of the body, problems here can take a long time to settle. Osteopathic treatment can help you during this period. In addition to physically treating the area with massage and stretching we will also recommend exercises to get the most out of your shoulder whilst it recovers.
Ankle & Foot Injury
Are you recovering from an ankle sprain or suffering with achilles pain or plantar fasciitis? As osteopaths we take a holistic view of the way your ankles and feet are working. We look at your lifestyle and the mechanics of your whole body to establish why you are having problems. This helps us make the best decisions about how to help you recover. We can make recommendations on the right footwear or changes to your lifestyle to improve your healing.
