Testimonials
I recently pulled my neck muscle while doing heavy weight training, it was the first time I had a injury while working out which got me worried if my neck was fractured or worse, so I needed someone to check it out. I could not get an appointment to see my GP (no surprise), I called Ashlins to see if they could help. The lovely lady at the phone booked me in for a consultation with the Osteopath same day. I came in and met Dermott Earley. During the consultation, he was very professional and friendly, everything was explained thoroughly. I'm extremely grateful for the time he spent (over an hour with no charge) and would definitely recommend Ashlins to everyone. Thanks!
I have sciatica and I see the osteopath at Ashlins, Sarah Oliver- Excellent!!!! I'd recommend Sarah to everyone. She is friendly, efficient, professional and effective.
I have had the treatment for a few weeks and my problem is getting much better!
Although it was my first treatment I am happy with everything and I can feel positive effects. Sarah, the osteopath, is really good! I booked my next session already!
I came to Ashlins to see Sarah, for osteopathy, I had lower back pain. The treatment made able to move around again. Pretty pain free!
I came to Ashlins because of my leg and knee pain. I saw Sarah for osteopathy, I found her very professional in her work and very dedicated. She explains everything she is going to do and makes you feel relaxed. I am glad I was recommended to Sarah from a neighbour. After this treatment I feel like I'm walking on air, it's well worth the money.

What is the difference between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor?
Both are good options for musculoskeletal pain, back issues, and joint stiffness, their core philosophies differ.
Chiropractors are regulated by the General Chiropractic Council while Osteopaths are regulated by General Osteopathic Council.
Chiropractors primarily focus on spinal alignment and the nervous system using quick, targeted adjustments. Osteopaths take a broader approach to the whole body, focusing on how the skeleton, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue function together, using a wider variety of stretching, massage, and gentle manipulation techniques.
What conditions can an Osteopath treat?
Osteopathy is effective and safe for a wide range of issues.
At our Walthamstow clinic, we frequently treat lower back pain, sciatica, neck pain, tension headaches, postural strain from desk work, sports injuries, and joint stiffness related to arthritis.
Is osteopathic treatment painful?
Osteopathy is generally a gentle treatment. Some manual therapy techniques, deep tissue stretching, or physical manipulations may cause mild, temporary discomfort if an area is already inflamed, but our registered practitioners always work within your comfort levels and explain what to expect.
How many osteopathy sessions will I need?
Every patient is unique. Acute conditions (like a sudden back spasm) often improve significantly within 2 to 4 sessions. Chronic or long-standing issues may require periodic maintenance appointments. Your osteopath will give you a clear, personalised recovery plan at your first consultation.
