Chronic Low Back Pain Help From a Modern Osteopath
If you’ve been living with low back pain for months and months, or even years, you’ve probably tried everything. Massage, physio, stretches, medication… yet the pain still lingers. You might even feel like your body is broken or beyond fixing.
But here’s the truth: it’s not.
Your body is adaptable, your nervous system is changeable, and recovery is possible — with the right approach.
I help people who’ve reached that “nothing works anymore” stage. My focus isn’t just on easing pain, but on helping you understand why your pain behaves the way it does — and how to take back control of it.
A Fresh Perspective on Low Back Pain
Low back pain isn’t always about injury or damage. Often, it’s about sensitivity, being how your body and brain interpret signals, stress, and movement. I use modern pain science to help you make sense of it all.
This means we’ll look at more than just your spine. We’ll explore sleep, stress, movement, habits, and how you think about pain — because all of these influence how your nervous system responds.
Understanding this is the first step toward confidence, not fear.
Why I’m Different from Most Osteopaths
While my training is in osteopathy, I don’t follow the traditional “hands-on only” approach. I blend modern pain management, psychologically-informed practice, and movement-based rehabilitation to give you a comprehensive recovery plan.
What I’ll Help You Do
Understand your pain (without medical jargon)
Learn practical tools to calm your nervous system
Move more freely and confidently
Build habits that keep you feeling strong
I think of myself as a pain coach, but don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you have to do it all on your own. I’ll guide you through every step, helping you build small, achievable wins that lead to long-term change.

What You Can Expect
At your first appointment, we’ll take a deep dive into your story, not just where it hurts, but what your pain stops you from doing. I use motivational interviewing, visual tools, and evidence-based education to help you make sense of what’s happening.
From there, we’ll create a plan that combines manual therapy for short-term relief with movement strategies, behaviour change, and self-management tools to make lasting improvements.
The Goal: Confidence, Not Dependence
Many people come to me feeling like they’ve lost control. They feel they need constant treatment just to get by. My aim is to change that.
I want you to feel confident in your body again, to understand that pain doesn’t always equal damage, and to know what to do when things flare up. I’ll give you the tools and guidance, but you’ll always have support.
Who I Work With
I enjoy helping people with:
Persistent or chronic low back pain
Pain that hasn’t responded to usual therapies
Nociplastic or stress-related pain
Athletes dealing with recurring injuries or performance-related pain
As a footballer, cricketer, and runner myself, I understand how important it is to get back to what you love, not just pain-free, but confident and capable.
