Why First Touch?

We Start By Listening

Treatment That's Personal For You

Treatment That's Personal For You

 Understanding how your problem affects you is an important part of understanding the problem itself. Your appointment begins with a conversation about your symptoms, health, lifestyle and what you would like to achieve. 

Treatment That's Personal For You

Treatment That's Personal For You

Treatment That's Personal For You

There isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. We combine clinical assessment, hands-on treatment, movement and rehabilitation according to what we find and what is appropriate for you. 

Understanding Matters

Looking Beyond The Symptoms

Looking Beyond The Symptoms

We want you to leave with a better understanding of what's happening, not simply a list of things you shouldn't do.

Where appropriate, we'll discuss factors that may be contributing to your problem and what you can do outside the treatment room to support your recovery.

Looking Beyond The Symptoms

Looking Beyond The Symptoms

Looking Beyond The Symptoms

Pain isn't always as simple as the place that hurts. Our assessment considers your movement, previous injuries, activity, work and other relevant factors to build a broader picture.

What Our Patients Say

Anne - ★★★★★

Will is by far away the best osteopath I have seen in 35 years since I first experienced a lower back problem in my 20s! He is knowledgeable in several different disciplines and treatments. I have been seeing him for over two years now and there has been a very noticeable improvement in my back, neck and knee problems. He is easy to get on with and the exercises he recommends are simple to do. Thank you Will. 

Ollie - ★★★★★

The whole team is fantastic! I have been regularly for all my various injuries from years of sports, I have always been taken care of by Will, Jacob and Sophie! They really take their time to assess what's going on and tailor the treatment to what my body needs, it sometimes feels achey for a day or so but then I feel like a new man! Trust these guys completely and couldn't recommend them enough 

Kyle - ★★★★★

I saw Will for only four sessions. For a severe nerve issue that had been going on for six months, within those four sessions he completely got rid of all pain, along with solving the root cause of the issue. I have now been pain free for months. First time I had been to an Osteopath so wasn’t sure what to expect. But cannot recommend him enough, worth every penny and will be going back in the future if I need too. 

Your First Appointment

Never Been To An Osteopath Before?

Your first appointment gives us time to talk about the problem, your general health and anything else that may be relevant.


We'll then carry out an appropriate physical assessment. We'll explain what we find, discuss the options with you and, where appropriate, begin treatment during the appointment.


You'll have the opportunity to ask questions throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hello@firsttouchosteo.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 No. You can book directly with First Touch Osteopathy without a referral from your GP. 

Depending on the area being assessed, your osteopath may need to observe how different parts of your body move. Comfortable clothing is useful and we'll explain what is required during your appointment. 

 There isn't a standard number. This depends on the problem, how long you've had it, your general health, your goals and how you respond.

We'll discuss this with you rather than automatically booking you into a predetermined course of treatment.

Where it's clinically appropriate and there is sufficient time following your consultation and assessment, treatment can usually begin at your first appointment.
