The approach

From first assessment to full strength

Guided movement to retrain the pattern behind the pain, not just the symptoms.

  1. 1.Assess & relieve

    Find what is driving the pain and settle it with hands-on treatment.

  2. 2.Restore movement

    Retrain the pattern behind it so the problem doesn't come back.

  3. 3.Rebuild strength

    A progressive programme for strength, control and confidence.

  4. 4.Back to what matters

    Goals we set together, whether that is a marathon, the gym or simply a normal, pain-free day.

Referral

A route to a doctor when you need one

No GP referral needed. If your assessment shows you need imaging, an injection or a specialist opinion, I refer you directly to a sports and exercise medicine doctor, and your osteopathic care continues with me.

Referrals include

  1. Imaging
  2. Injections
  3. Specialist opinion

Your osteopath

Ioannis A Rafailidis

I help people get out of pain, move well again and return to the training, work and life they want.

I started in healthcare as an assistant physiotherapist, qualified as an osteopath, and went on to a Master's in Sports and Exercise Medicine at Leeds Beckett University. I have worked in clinics in Greece, the UK and France, with people from every kind of job and lifestyle, which is where my interest in how work and daily habits shape physical health comes from.

I treat back and neck pain, shoulder and joint problems, sports injuries and movement restrictions. Every plan is built around your needs, goals and lifestyle, and combines hands-on treatment, movement-based rehabilitation and education, so you know how to keep the result.

Good to know

No referral is needed to book an appointment. You can contact me directly to discuss your concerns and arrange a consultation. If necessary, and with your permission, I can liaise with your GP. Should your symptoms require further investigation or specialist care, I will guide you towards the most appropriate next steps.

Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely is best. Sportswear is a good choice, and bringing shorts and a vest top may be helpful depending on the area being treated. If I need you to change clothing or uncover an area for assessment, I will explain why and ensure your privacy is respected. You are always in control of what you feel comfortable with, and you are welcome to bring a chaperone, friend or family member.

Everyone is different, so the number of sessions will depend on your symptoms, their duration and what you hope to achieve. After your first appointment, a realistic estimate of the sessions you may need will be provided. Some problems settle within a few visits, while others require a longer-term approach. We will monitor your progress together to make sure your treatment remains appropriate for you.

Selected private health insurance plans are accepted, subject to your policy and level of cover. Please check with your insurer before booking to confirm your benefits and any referral or authorisation requirements. Receipts and invoices can be provided for reimbursement claims. Private appointments are also available for patients who prefer to pay directly.
