Wokingham Osteopaths utilise a gentle combination of massage, articulation, stretches and manipulation (with consent) in order to relieve our patients of back pain.

How can treatment at Wokingham Osteopaths & Massage help your sports injury?

After meeting with our Sports Therapist Suzy, she’ll ask a series of questions regarding your injury, from the cause to the symptoms and whether it’s a recurring issue. Then follows an in-depth physical examination after which Suzy will discuss her findings and gain consent for treatment.

If safe to proceed, treatment will begin and normally involves hands-on work then a bespoke exercise plan depending on the injury.

Upon the next appointment the injury will be reassessed and treatment plan updated depending on how it has responded to the work so far.

so where should I start from... Matt has been absolutely spectacular as a professional and passionate osteopath with utmost care and treatment focused attention on his patients. I initially went for my back ache and sciatic pain as I have a chronic sacral vertebral issue. After a few sessions (literally like two session fortnight apart) my back was brand new. Then as a sportsman and a doctor myself, things never stop ... shoulder spur along with neck and then again the solution was Matt and his magical osteopathy. For the last one year, I have been visiting here sometimes once a month and if I need proper MOT done then even fortnightly and I can assure the readers that this family run business is awesome. My wife has had wonders with Kerry in terms of relieving her frozen shoulder which in medical terms cannot be thawed before 12-18 months and here is my wife with frozen shoulder started to thaw in 3-4 months and perfectly able to lift her hand and do stuff within 6-8 months. I would highly recommend them as osteopaths. Good, High skill Osteopaths are hard to find and we are lucky to have them here in Wokingham. Thank you Matt, Kerry and your team for being so wonderful every time.

Excellent osteopathy clinic. Matt sought to find a diagnosis for my discomfort. After having seen numerous other osteopaths/physios/massage therapists all massaging out a shoulder muscle for Matt to determine it’s a rib and it one session solve the issue! Incredible skills and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Very impressed with the initial consultation, their professionalism, and most importantly the treatment. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Matt took charge of my years old neck & shoulder pains and has lessened the restrictiveness in my neck and eased the uncomfortableness that I have just 'put up' with for years more than I could have imagined. I highly recommend them !!

I seeked Matt’s help after receiving a lower back injury at work. From the first appointment Matt listened to my problem and was committed to help me get back to normal. Throughout the course of the treatment Matt was always on hand to help and offer guidance. The treatment involved a variation of massage, manipulations and home stretches. After about 6 weeks of treatments I was back up and running as normal. I would not hesitate to seek Matt’s help again in the future and would highly recommend Wokingham Osteopaths to anyone who needs it!

I have been seeing Matthew for some years now, my previous osteopath retired. Over the years Matthew has kept my mis-alignments tuned, I may crawl in to the surgery and walk out. As a qualified therapist myself I find we can communicate effectively to get the best possible out come. My family also consult Matthew and Keri.

Keri was very approachable and friendly and listened well to all the issues we had with our son’s feeding. Keri was thorough with her assessment. We would definitely recommend to anyone experiencing breastfeeding problems.

1695818080

We saw Keri when my little boy was just over 3 months. She helped us identify the issues with his feeding and with gentle coaching and support we were able to continue breastfeeding with confidence. Her feeding knowledge and massage techniques were so helpful for us and I would say that after our appointments my mental health definitely improved. I cannot thank Keri enough for helping my son feel more comfortable and supporting me to keep breastfeeding. I now intend to keep going until he decides he is ready to stop, something I didn't think would be possible before.

I highly recommend Matt, I went to him following sciatica and back problems. In just a few visits I felt more myself. Since then my husband has been seeing him and he says Matt has really worked magic on his long-term back and leg problems.

I’ve had 4 trapped nerves in 3 years, seeking help from various different places and professions. Matt was highly recommended to me, so I reached out with trapped nerve number 4. He quickly diagnosed the correct unhappy muscle causing the nerve issue and started working on it. It’s since improved dramatically and I’m able to both sleep throughout the night and move without being in so much pain.I highly recommend Wokingham Osteopath and can’t thank them enough.

2nd visit to Suzy for a sports massage. She is excellent and is helping me sort out issues with tightness in my muscles. I have booked 2 more appointments and will be visiting her on a regular basis from now on.

As a wedding photographer with back issues due to a motorsport injury in my 20s, I pretty much owe my career to Matt and the team at this point. Their treatments are incredibly effective for whatever new problem I bring to them, and despite most of my flares being unpredictable, they always make me feel like I'm a priority when trying to find me a slot without much notice.Matt is a superstar, and I enjoy the interesting conversation along with the great osteopathy! In his latest miracle work, my neck 'pinged' and started spasming on Friday morning, I managed to get an appointment within 3 hours, and by Friday afternoon I was on my way to shoot a 2-day wedding. THANK YOU!

Great service from Matt. After a recent neck and back injury, Matt resolved the problem after two sessions.

1689168058

Keri is a fantastic, caring and considerate osteopath. My 5 month old seemed to have limited mobility in her neck which we felt was preventing her from rolling properly - after a couple of sessions with Keri her neck mobility is much improved and she was rolling straight after! Keri has a gentle, patient approach and takes the time to find out all context and history before treatment. Thank you for your help Keri.

Matt is a fantastic Osteopath, he put me at ease from the first appointment and quickly identified the root of my issues. We worked together over the next 6 weeks, and I would say I’m pretty much where I want to be now. I will continue to visit every couple of months to ensure I don’t slip back. I absolutely recommend Wokingham Osteopaths, just as they were strongly recommended to me!!

I cannot recommend Wokingham Osteopaths highly enough. They are a thoroughly professional and helpful team and I have used their services on a number of occasions for my own injuries as well as using them for family and making recommendations to friends.

I've struggled for 35 years with pain management for neck and sciatic injuries sustained in late teens and early twenties. I just wish that I could have found a sports therapy/massage practitioner like Suzy all those years ago to support my rehabilitation. Her professionalism, anatomical knowledge and precision massage techniques have brought immediate and lasting relief during some intense episodes. Her no nonsense, fearless, deep tissue massage treatments, along with her practical rehabilitation advice, have been nothing short of miraculous in helping me permanently break repetitive cycles of chronic pain and take positive steps to strengthen and prevent. Simply can't recommend highly enough for anyone suffering pain in any part of the body.

Professional and knowledgeable. Kerri and Matt helped with an old back injury that had resurfaced and how to change my habits to keep it fixed. Since my change of job, Matt took over from Kerri due to hours of work, and both have been brilliant with my treatment and easy to get on with. Definitely recommend both Kerri and Matt.

1682242751

After just 1 session Matt was able to find the problem and reduce the symptoms of pain drastically. Further appointments to follow, in confidence of getting back to normal. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reputable Osteopath.

Matt is a miracle worker!I had been signed off work for weeks, unable to drive and could barely walk. I’d had countless drs appointments, treatments with a different chiropractor and was on the strongest painkillers possible.Nothing was helping!I reached out to Matt and he called me back within minutes, booked me in the very next day and after just one session things started to feel better and what I had been suffering with for over a month was treated after just 3 sessions.It wasn’t just the treatments that helped my recovery. Matt recommended stretches to do in between appointments and even checked in on WhatsApp to see how I was doing.He is just a lovely, kind, supportive miracle worker with a brilliant sense of humour too!I can’t recommend his services enough

Can’t recommend Matt enough!!!! Friendly, professional and all round just a great experience. No pushing for the next appointment, explained every step and set out a plan of action that suited me. After years of trying different places this is by far the best osteopath I have been too. Thanks Matt!!!

Booked in with Matt as I was struggling with pregnancy sciatica at 37 weeks. Matt was great, so helpful and after just one session the sciatica has really eased. Definitely would recommend! 5 ⭐️
