We see a broad range of musculoskeletal complaints for patients across Kettering and the surrounding towns. If your issue isn't listed, please call — we'll tell you honestly whether osteopathic care looks appropriate or point you to someone who can help.
From sudden twinges to long-running lower-back pain and nerve-related leg discomfort.
We assess the spine, hips and pelvis to build a picture of what may be contributing to your back pain. Through gentle articulation, soft-tissue work and tailored rehab, we aim to support movement and comfort — including where sciatica-type leg pain is part of the picture.
Book treatmentPostural neck strain, neck-related headaches and associated jaw tension.
Some headaches are associated with the joints and muscles of the upper neck, and jaw muscle tension often travels with neck tension. We assess and, where appropriate, treat the neck and address the postural habits that may contribute to recurring tension.
General shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, rotator-cuff strain, tennis & golfer's elbow.
Whether it's reaching overhead that hurts, night pain lying on one side, or pain travelling down the arm, we assess the shoulder, elbow and neck together to work out what is local and what may be associated with the neck or upper back — and discuss suitable care, exercise and referral options with you.
Osteoarthritis, runner's knee, ITB issues and post-replacement rehab.
Hip and knee pain can arise from the joint itself, from surrounding muscles and tendons, or sometimes be referred from the back. We assess how the hip, knee, pelvis and lower back move together and how position, activity and load affect your symptoms — for example pain on stairs, after sitting, at night or when walking further. For osteoarthritis, osteopathic care may be used alongside the core care in current guidance — staying active, appropriate strengthening exercise and weight management where relevant — not as a replacement for it. If your assessment suggests you need medical input, such as a GP review, imaging or an orthopaedic opinion, we'll say so and help you take the next step.
Book treatmentPlantar fasciitis, sprains, Achilles and post-injury stiffness.
Foot and ankle symptoms are assessed alongside the rest of the lower limb, since how you stand, walk and load through the hip and knee can vary with position and activity. We'll explain what we find and what is likely to help.
Book treatmentMinor sprains, strains and overuse — supporting a sensible return to activity.
From recreational runners to amateur footballers and golfers, we assess appropriate minor injuries and build a graded return-to-activity plan around your presentation and goals.
Book treatmentSupport for osteoarthritic stiffness alongside exercise and core care.
Osteopathy can't reverse arthritis. For osteoarthritis, gentle hands-on care may be used alongside the exercise and self-management that form the core of current guidance, to help some people manage stiffness and keep moving. Inflammatory arthritis needs medical management.
Aches from long hours at a screen or repetitive work — neck, upper back, forearm, wrist.
Long periods in one position — at a desk, in the car or on a screen — are commonly associated with neck, upper-back and shoulder aches, and repetitive tasks can overload the forearm, wrist and hand. We assess how you sit, move and work, and coach you in practical ways to vary position, pace tasks and build back up.
Book treatmentGentle musculoskeletal care for pregnant and postnatal adults.
Back, rib and general musculoskeletal aches are common during and after pregnancy. We offer gentle assessment and care adapted to your stage and comfort, alongside — never instead of — your maternity care. Pregnancy-specific pelvic pain is directed to your midwife.
Acute spasm, recurring knots and long-standing muscle tension.
We combine soft-tissue release with joint work, aiming to ease spasm and support comfortable movement. For general muscular tightness without a new injury, a 60-minute sports massage appointment may be a suitable option.
