COVID-19 UPDATE
November 2022
As regulated healthcare providers, osteopaths are exempt from closing should a new lockdown arise. We still have stringent infection control procedures in place and are Allied Health Professionals working alongside the NHS to support the health of the community.
If you have symptoms of Covid – 19 or are waiting for a test result please do not attend the clinic. Requirements for mask use were dropped in June 2022 however if you would feel more comfortable with us wearing PPE, we have masks for patient and practitioner use.
Call us on 01737 818000 and we will help you.
Suffering from pain? We may be able to help
We have an excellent reputation locally in Walton-on-the-Hill, having been established since 1995.
At Kingswood and Tadworth Osteopathic Clinic we are deeply committed to helping restore health and function to all of our patients. We provide professional care tailor-made to the individual in a caring and supportive environment.
The doctor may tell you to take painkillers when you have a problem with your back or a sports injury in the hope that the problem goes away. If you want to address the problem and fix it, rather than ignoring it and taking drugs, you need to see Sophie.”

“Safe in our hands”
All osteopaths are regulated as are doctors and nurses and are registered with the General Osteopathic Council. We have to undergo rigorous training on a four or five year full time degree with at least 1000 hours supervised clinical practice. We adhere to a strict code of conduct and practice and undergo annually assessed continuing professional development.

Your first consultation usually takes an hour during which time the osteopath will take a full case history and examination. You will be normally be asked to undress to your underwear, however you may wear a pair of shorts or loose clothing if you feel more comfortable.
After diagnosis, the osteopath will discuss with you their findings and will then use a variety of manual techniques suited to you which may include:
- joint articulation
- high velocity thrust techniques (HVTs)
- soft tissue massage
- gentle releasing techniques
- dry needling (myofascial acupuncture
