  • Evolution Osteopathy has been a fantastic experience. Matt, my osteopath, is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain every step of the treatment. He approaches his work with genuine kindness, making each session both informative and comfortable. I always leave feeling heaps better.
  • Had a first appointment here with Steffan and he was super helpful, explained everything really well and I felt confident with the treatment he was doing. Booked it that same day as I was having lots of pain and I’m really glad I chose to come here. I have full trust in the clinic and Steffan, thanks again :)
  • Had a great experience with Evolution Osteopathy. It was my first time seeing an Osteopath, but I immediately felt comfortable and in safe hands with Stephanie, who helped me recover from a neck injury which was causing me serious problems at work. Excellent service all round. Highly recommend.
  • Ed listens to the body, corrects it through treatment and massage and is extremely knowledgeable and professional in his skills. I always return pain free after his session, and my pain has improved a lot after a few sessions. Highly recommend him!
  • I saw Ed S a few times to help me with a problem with my knee. He is very personable, professional, and knowledgable. Ed takes time to understand my issue, and to perform a detailed evaluation of my posture and mobility. Each time I left feeling better. The clinic itself is nice, warm, and peaceful which helps to feel comfortable. Thanks Ed!

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. Osteopaths work with the structure and function of the body, and work is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.

To an Osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So Osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery. Our clinicians use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, as well as helping your body’s own healing mechanisms. They may provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and to prevent symptoms recurring. When surgery has been required, osteopathy is highly useful in returning the joint or muscles into health and in restoring movement.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling

We provide Western Medical Acupuncture, otherwise known as Dry Needling. Dry Needling involves the application of acupuncture needles into tight, painful areas in your muscles known as “Trigger Points”, or sometimes referred to as “knots” in the muscles.

Dry Needling is performed to elicit a healing response in these tissues, but is different to traditional acupuncture as it is not necessarily aimed at specific “acupuncture” points. Dry needling has been proven to be a very effective way of relaxing muscles in spasm, reducing inflammation and relieving pain.

Acupuncture has been used in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years. In the last decade western medicine has shown a growing interest in acupuncture and dry needling (needling into trigger points in the muscles). As a result the quality and quantity of research into the benefits of needling injuries has increased. Although more research needs to be done, it is becoming clearer why needling has stood the test of time in Chinese medicine.

Massage

Sports and Remedial Massage

Sports and Remedial Massage are great tools to help treat and soothe low level injuries and tired muscles related to activity and exercise. Our team of highly trained practitioners can offer a variety of techniques designed to help prevent injuries occurring or to assist in the treatment of injury.

Sports or remedial massage is a form of manual therapy which is geared toward participants in sports and athletics primarily but can also be helpful to all. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help people recover from workouts and injuries. Pure Sports massage has three basic forms: pre-event massage, post-event massage, and maintenance massage.

Deep tissue massage focuses on the soft tissues that surround the skeletal structure. By that definition it goes beyond the standard ‘holistic’ massage (which is relaxing and normally non-specific) and will focus on specific pain and injury.

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Focused Shockwave Therapy at Evolution Osteopathy in SE1, Central London, is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing and reduce pain for various musculoskeletal conditions.

Ideal for issues like plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, and chronic muscle pain, this therapy is even more effective when combined with osteopathy.

Conveniently located for those in Waterloo, Southwark, and South London, we offer a safe, effective solution to help you recover faster and get back to your daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to expect Icon

What To Expect On Your First Visit

On your first visit to the clinic, we will take a full case history and medical background, not only to assist in diagnosis of your complaint, but to ensure that you are screened effectively in order to be suitable for Osteopathic treatment.

After the case history, you will be examined whilst you are standing in order to see how your body is moving as a whole: sometimes the area that hurts is caused by tissues elsewhere in the body and so it is important in order review the whole body to gain the full picture when first beginning treatment. In order to do this, we will ask you to dress down to your underwear, so if you would like to bring shorts or a vest top with you to make you more comfortable then please do.

Once we have gained a working diagnosis and ascertained you are suitable for intervention, treatment will commence. Note that treatment on the first session may be limited due to the time spent screening, but any further sessions will focus more on treatment, as the case history and diagnosis has already been completed.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask when booking or at any time during your treatment session.

How much treatment is necessary?

One of the questions asked the most by new patients is “how many sessions do you think I will need?” Our response is that every patient is an individual and as such predicting how fast an individual will get better is not an exact science and can rely on many factors, and normally by session number two, a fairly accurate plan of treatment can be provided.

One of our main ethos here at Evolution is that we only ever see a patient for the number of times it take them to get better. We don’t believe in bulk bookings, or asking patients back when we don’t feel that it would benefit them. We really aren’t all about the numbers and to be honest, if we see a patient twice and that’s all it take for them to heal and get better, then we’re happy that our job is done.
