Our Facilities
Our practice is conveniently located just off Pickford Lane, near the post office sorting office on Glengall Road, Bexleyheath. We have off-street parking available for patients, making it easy to access our services. We are open seven days a week from early morning to late evening, ensuring that you can schedule an appointment at a time that suits you.
Professionalism and Safety
As a professional osteopathic practice, we adhere to the highest standards of professionalism and safety.

We believe in the importance of ongoing education and continuous professional development to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.
What We Do
Osteopathy is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment that focuses on the structure and function of the body. We believe that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues functioning smoothly together. Our osteopathic treatments are designed to address the root causes of health issues, rather than just targeting symptoms.
