Osteopathy — the whole-body view, by a London-trained doctor.
Whole-system manual therapy that treats the musculoskeletal system as connected, not regional. Delivered by Dr. Marcus Bernini, Doctor of Osteopathy (London School of Osteopathy, 2007). Particularly valuable for complex, multi-region presentations.
What it is
Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine that treats the musculoskeletal system as an integrated whole — recognising that a problem in one region often produces compensations elsewhere. Our osteopathic practice is led by Dr. Marcus Bernini, who trained at the London School of Osteopathy.
How it works
Osteopathic treatment combines joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, myofascial release, and visceral techniques where indicated. Every session begins with a fresh assessment of the connected kinetic chain.
Who it is for
- Complex multi-region pain
- Sports injury
- Post-injury recovery
- Chronic musculoskeletal cases that have not responded to single-region treatment
Contraindications + honest screening
Conditions requiring acute medical or surgical management. We will refer you on if osteopathic treatment is not the right path for your case.
What a session looks like
Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes, allowing for a full whole-body assessment alongside the treatment.
Typical treatment arc
Treatment arc determined by complexity — most cases 6–12 sessions over 8–12 weeks.
Where this service fits
- Osteopathy is one component of the broader Functional Correction Method — used in isolation only where a multi-modal plan is not clinically indicated.
- Each session is preceded by a brief reassessment so the treatment evolves with the patient.
- If this modality is not the right fit for your condition, we will say so at the first consultation.

Your first visit is a 60-minute session with a doctor — a full assessment and your first treatment in the same appointment. We take your clinical history, screen your posture and movement, explain what we find in plain language, and begin treatment if your condition is suitable for our care.
