Charlie Ford

M.Ost

Osteopath

I graduated from the University College of Osteopathy with a master’s degree in Osteopathy and I am also a qualified Sports Massage Therapist.

I first learned about osteopathy in my teenage years after struggling with lower back pain and sports related injuries. After only a few sessions with an osteopath, my pain levels had decreased significantly and my interest in the profession was born.

During my undergraduate training, I worked with a variety of people including the elderly, athletes and people with chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia. Treating a broad range of individuals gave me invaluable experience and knowledge that I use in practice everyday.

I use a variety of techniques in my treatments, including joint mobilisation and manipulation, soft tissue massage and exercise rehabilitation and education. I believe that it is essential to provide the patient with the appropriate exercises and lifestyle advice to allow them to manage their symptoms, and get them on the path to achieving their goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and hiking. I have also been playing guitar for almost 20 years, and still play and write music regularly!

   Had my first appointment with Laura today. Amazing difference from just the first session! She diagnosed the issue straight away and then got to work. My 'heavy' leg already feels much better. Will definitely be back. Thank you! 😊

   I have suffered with various back problems for over 30 years. I had a nasty flare up around 12 months ago. Painful to stand up straight and even walk. It was effecting my job as a chef. A few visits with Campbell Milton and I was sorted. He advised me on various stretches to do, which I have kept up with. I have had no problems since. Thank you 🙏

   Thank you Laura for sorting out my pelvic/lower back issue that was causing me persistent discomfort. The fact it was done in the first session was amazing too. My previous experience of osteopathy (many years ago) has been minimal manipulation and just being asked to do certain stretches - walking away feeling a bit cheated of my money. This was very hands on - highly recommended and worth every penny

   I initially came to see Jonathan with a serious shoulder injury last year and have been back whenever I have had any niggles. Jon has a very relaxed manner and is brilliant at helping me understand any pain i have experienced and sets a clear plan for rehabilitation. I would definitely reccomend him and the surgery.
