What to Expect from Your Osteopathy Session

Your first visit to our Southampton osteopathy clinic will involve a thorough assessment and hands-on treatment to address your pain and movement concerns.

We take time to listen to your story – your pain history, lifestyle and goals. This helps us build a clear picture of what’s going on.

We assess how your body moves, checking for stiffness, muscular imbalances and areas of restriction.

Depending on your needs, we use joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, spinal manipulation and movement techniques to restore function and reduce pain.

We provide a personalised treatment plan that may include simple exercises, movement strategies and lifestyle changes to help you stay pain-free beyond the treatment room.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes! Osteopathy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that works with the body’s natural healing abilities. Our practitioners are highly trained to provide effective, personalised care.

Both focus on pain relief and movement, but osteopathy emphasises hands-on techniques to restore mobility, while physiotherapy often incorporates more structured rehabilitation exercises. At Southampton Physio, we combine both where needed to give you the best possible care.

This varies depending on the condition, but most patients see improvement within 3–5 sessions, with some benefiting from ongoing maintenance care.

Posting this on behalf of my mother in law, Lina Watts. I used to have very limited mobility in my right arm. Someone recommended the Southampton Physio to me. When I arrived for the first time, I was greeted warmly and it made me feel very relaxed. Richard explained to me how he will analyse and help me with my problem. Now I have regained mobility in my right arm and I’m happy to recommend Southampton Physio. I thank Richard for his help. In my opinion his knowledge is second to none.

Richard was super accommodating with an injury I was dealing with. He listened to what was going on, put together a really good plan, and I’ve made a lot of progress since. Definitely recommend.

Booked an appointment after I injured myself running. Richard has been very knowledgeable about the cause of injury and also with the recovery process. Ensuring that each stage is achievable and manageable around family life. Highly recommend Southampton Physio to anyone who would benefit

Excellent support and encouragement I’ve had a really positive experience with Southampton Physio, especially with Richard. He has been very patient, caring and encouraging, always taking the time to explain things clearly. He has helped me gradually build my strength and confidence. My legs and feet were painful and felt less stable before, but I’m now noticing much better stability and feeling stronger. It’s been a gradual process, but the progress has been very encouraging. I’m very grateful for Richard’s support and would definitely recommend him.

A great experience. Felt very supported by Richard who was very knowledgeable and listened. Richard was very reassuring and realistic. Richard worked with me as an individual and helped me to understand what my body needs. I followed his advice and we tweaked exercises as necessary and I’ve just completed a half marathon. Thank you Richard!

Being a very active woman of 66 years, slowing down was not an option, until I hurt my back in October 25, but rather than make a recovery, the pain worsened, I was in pain no matter what I did, struggled to walk etc. I’d been told by an NHS physiotherapist that the damage had already been done, the exercises given made no difference. I was turned away by a chiropractor due to osteoporosis & a history of fractures. My GP sent me for an xray that showed two old fractures, degeneration and a vertebral process which must have been trapping nerves. There was no further treatment offered. I visited Ian Greaves for a consultation on 21 May 26. I have now had five sessions of physiotherapy with him and the difference is amazing. Obviously I have to put the work in to gain any improvement, but the difference is incredible. I frequently sail single handed and thought I would have to give the hobby up, but having just returned from 11 days away, having to pull lines, balance, lift an outboard on & off the boat to the dinghy & pull start it, row the dinghy & heave it up onto the transom. I am elated. I signed up to 12 week course, so that the exercise regime would become a habit. Personally I think if anyone really wants recovery then that is a desirable plan, 4 weeks just wouldn’t have been enough for me. Thank you Ian, see you next week!
