Registered osteopaths in Haywards Heath, West Sussex
Osteopathy is a statutorily regulated profession in the UK, and our osteopathy team is registered with the General Osteopathic Council. That registration sets standards for training, conduct and insurance, and it is the first thing worth checking about any osteopath you are considering.
We work in a multi-disciplinary way and often combine osteopathy with:
- Physiotherapy
- Dry needling
- Kinesio taping
- Individual rehabilitation programmes
Our osteopaths work closely with other specialists at the clinic, so your care can draw on more than one discipline where that helps. Osteopathy here is complementary care: it is intended to sit alongside — not replace — advice or treatment from your GP or hospital consultant.
Common reasons people consult our osteopath
People come to us with all sorts of aches, stiffness and injuries. The reasons we hear most often:
- Back and neck pain
- Shoulder pain and frozen shoulder
- Migraine and tension headaches
- Sciatica and nerve pain
- Sports injuries and muscular strains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Postural problems and joint stiffness
Every appointment is planned around the individual in front of us.
Back pain and lower back pain
Back and neck pain are among the reasons people consult us, and they are the subject we are asked about most often online. Whether you are looking for help with back pain in Haywards Heath or with a sports injury, the starting point is the same: an assessment, then a plan built around what your osteopath finds. For background reading, see our blog on osteopathy and back pain.
Sports injuries and rehabilitation
Sports injuries and muscular strains are among the reasons people consult us, and sports injury rehabilitation is Dwaine Ford’s specialism. Where it suits you, hands-on work can be combined with a bespoke exercise and rehabilitation plan to carry on with between visits.
What happens at your first osteopathy appointment
A new patient appointment lasts up to 60 minutes. Your osteopath will take a complete medical history, assess how you move, explain what they have found, and — where appropriate — begin hands-on treatment in the same session, with home care advice to take away.
Patient education is core to what we do, so expect practical guidance on posture, lifestyle and exercises alongside the hands-on work. Follow-up appointments last up to 45 minutes.
Our osteopathic techniques
Our osteopaths use a combination of manual and supportive techniques:
- Joint mobilisation and manipulation
- Soft tissue massage and stretching
- Postural alignment and mobility work
We also integrate Kinesio taping, shockwave therapy where appropriate, and bespoke exercise and rehabilitation plans. Your osteopath will talk you through what they are suggesting, and why, before they start.

Frequently asked questions about osteopathy
How much does a session with an osteopath cost?
A new patient appointment of up to 60 minutes is £100; a follow-up of up to 45 minutes is £80. Shorter options may be available on request — see the table above, or our fees and availabilities page.
Should I see an osteopath or a chiropractor?
We offer both here, so we have no reason to steer you either way. We have written about the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor in more detail, and you can read about chiropractic at the clinic too.
Is an osteopath or a physiotherapist right for me?
The two overlap a good deal, and we offer both — we often combine osteopathy with physiotherapy in the same plan of care. If you are not sure which to book, call us and we will point you toward the right practitioner. No diagnosis needed beforehand.
How does osteopathy work?
Osteopathy uses gentle manual techniques that aim to improve joint mobility, ease muscle tension and support the body’s own recovery, considering the whole body rather than only the uncomfortable area.
Is osteopathy safe?
Osteopathy is regulated by the General Osteopathic Council, which sets and enforces strict professional standards for every registered osteopath in the UK. Do tell your osteopath your full medical history, including any medication and any care you are receiving elsewhere.
Do you accept insurance?
We work with most major insurers. Please check with your provider to confirm your cover before you book.
