Osteopathy

My goal as an osteopath is to help my patients get better quickly and effectively through a combination of hands-on therapy and exercise prescription. 

I trained for 4 years at the British School of Osteopathic Medicine, and I am qualified in naturopathy as well as dry needling techniques. I have been working as an associate at West London Osteopaths and I am registered with the Institute of Osteopathy and The General Osteopathic Council. 

The first session includes an initial assessment based on a thorough investigation into your medical history. I examine the whole body as I understand that the source of problems may be different to the pain pattern presentations that occur. After a thorough diagnosis I discuss treatment options with you which may include manipulation and massage of the skeleton and musculature.

A follow up session includes therapy with rehabilitation exercise and investigation into life changes that may help ongoing issues, as well as habits which prevent your body reaching optimal health.

Some of the conditions I see include:-

Muscular aches and pains

Arthritic pain 

Back conditions

Neck restriction and pain

Buristis

Carpal tunnel

Rotator cuff injuries

Digestive issues

Headaches and Migraines 

Myofacial pain 

Sciatica

Plantar fasciitis 

Nerve pain (Neuralgia)

Hip and knee pains

Sports injuries

"Whenever I see Nerys for a treatment I am struck by how perceptive she is and how much better she makes me feel. It’s always a very positive experience. She has helped me a great deal. I would recommend her very highly." 

Christie, W8

"I see Nerys every six weeks for 'general maintenance' ie troubleshooting the aches and strains inevitable in a body half way through its seventh decade. Her perceptive reading of the situation, which I initially thought purely intuitive but which comes of course from a deep understanding of anatomy, means these visits are always useful and reassuring, and her sunny personality makes them relaxed and enjoyable too."

John B, London. 

Osteopathy Experience with Nerys Davies Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

"I recently had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Nerys and I am beyond impressed with the results. Nerys has not only aided in my post-operation recovery but has also provided valuable assistance in managing physical menopausal symptoms. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the positive impact she has had on my well-being. From the moment I walked into Nerys Davies Osteopathy, I felt welcomed and at ease. Nerys is a highly skilled and knowledgeable osteopath who immediately put me at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, thoroughly assessing my condition before formulating a personalized treatment plan."

Natasha, Notting Hill 

"As a Clinic Director and Therapist myself, I have seen a lot of clinicians come and go and experienced a lot of different techniques, but I can honestly say Nerys is one of the most skilled, highly trained and intuitive therapists I have met. Her level of knowledge is impressive and she is a natural healer. I always recommend her to my patients if they need extra help or it is beyond my scope." 

P. Taras, Acupuncturist & Clinic Director

"I have intermittently suffered from lower back pain for years, but after just a few sessions with Nerys, it finally seems to have disappeared. I can’t recommend her enough!"

Mr. Hazeldine, N7 London 

"Brilliant - sorted out my back when I had an injured a disc! Only needed to go a couple of times. Really helped with the pain pretty much straight away, but also with the lack of movement." 

Linda Albinsson 

"Nerys has really helped my persistent lower back pain and tight neck muscles. She has been really thorough and careful. As a result, I have made enormous progress and am now back playing regular golf again. I can’t recommend her highly enough." 

Mr.C Charles, Bucks 

"I’m so pleased I got in touch with Nerys regarding my back problems. Nerys is an amazing osteopath who is not only knowledgable and extremely skilled in her field but also caring, supportive and mindful. She really takes time to understand the problems you are facing and tackles them in the most efficient and effective way. After one session I could already feel the difference and with Nerys’s treatment plan and exercises my back has never felt as good. I can’t recommend her highly enough." 

N.Alum, NW London 

"Nerys has been rehabbing me after a tibial fracture and has been totally life-changing for me. She’s used her wide variety of techniques - deep massage, osteopathy, needling and cranial, as well as post-treatment exercise plans to get me back up and moving again and I can’t recommend her healing hands and words of wisdom highly enough. Thank you Nerys!" 

S.Burke, London 

A qualified therapeutic massage therapist since 1997, I gained a Masters degree at the British School of Osteopathy in 2012 and have been treating patients at the BSO (now UCO) and across London ever since.

In addition to osteopathy I use a variety of massage techniques, plus rhythmic articulation (Harmonics), Kinesio taping and stretching, to relieve pain and restore movement, according to my patients’ particular needs.

I regularly treat back, neck and shoulder pain including common complaints such as cervicogenic headaches, sciatic pain and sports injuries, also foot (plantar fasciitis), and postural related problems. I also have a Foundation in medical acupuncture, which I use in conjunction with osteopathic and massage techniques for specific problems, such as relieving trigger points within muscle tissue.

As a runner, climber and daily gym user, I have first-hand knowledge of the stresses and demands exercise and sport places on the body, as well as the implications of injury. My understanding of the body’s mechanics and its needs enables me to plan rehabilitation programmes and provide advice to anyone at any level of fitness, from the office worker to the professional athlete.

"I’ve been visiting Jo since 2016 and her results are extraordinary. As an office worker and commuter with hypermobility issues (combined with intensely physical archaeological work in the summers), 

I have been treated by a range of practitioners for 30 years with varying results. But Jo has systematically worked through a range of physical problems, leaving me more mobile, flexible and pain-free. Her approach is both practical and intuitive, and has helped me achieve a new level of fitness in my mid-50s."
