Osteopathy
Osteopathy at Sussex Osteopathy & Pilates focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through hands-on techniques. Our approach combines structural manipulation with functional assessment to address pain sources, improve joint mobility, and enhance circulation. Patients benefit from evidence-based treatments targeting back pain, sports injuries, and postural issues, supported by the clinic's commitment to patient education and active participation in recovery.
Pilates Therapy
Pilates sessions utilise specialised equipment to deliver tailored exercise programmes for rehabilitation and strength development. The practice employs spring-based resistance systems to create graded workouts that improve core stability, coordination, and movement patterns. This method proves particularly effective for chronic pain management, postural correction, and functional recovery following injury or surgery, with sessions adapted to individual capabilities.
Combined Treatments
Combining osteopathy with Pilates creates a comprehensive treatment strategy addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term functionality. Initial osteopathic interventions reduce acute pain and structural restrictions, while progressive Pilates exercises reinforce improvements through targeted muscle engagement. This dual approach accelerates recovery from musculoskeletal conditions, prevents recurrence, and enhances overall physical resilience through coordinated manual and exercise-based therapies.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, postural issues, and chronic pain conditions like osteoarthritis.
How are Pilates sessions structured?
Sessions use specialised equipment for tailored exercises focusing on core stability, mobility, and functional movement patterns adapted to individual needs.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. Many patients self-refer, though we collaborate with GPs and specialists when needed.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows movement. Avoid overly loose garments that might restrict exercise performance or assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary - acute issues may require 3-6 sessions, while chronic conditions typically need ongoing management with regular review.
Is osteopathy safe after surgery?
Yes, with appropriate timing and modified techniques. We work closely with surgical teams to ensure safe post-operative rehabilitation.
