Highly recommend Tony. Not only did he restore my back in one session with dry needling, but he was extremely thorough and covered massage, cupping, and a full assessment to get right to the root of the issue.

I saw David at GW (it was my first visit) and his care, both at the practise, and aftercare - he sent me various exercises to do along with other helpful suggestions - has been reassuringly fantastic.

I have just had an appointment with Amy at the Godalming clinic and it was a revelation to myself. She was very friendly and super knowledgeable. She was able to identify the cause of my upper back issues and chronic pain in my heels. I can actually feel a difference after my first treatment and look forward to my next session. Thank you Amy.

After several attempts trying to find a good sports massage therapist, Tony is definitely someone I will be going back to. He has a wealth of knowledge and after initial consultation was able to understand and treat my neck/shoulder problem with deep tissue massage and needle therapy. Can really feel the benefit after one visit and I will be returning, and can definitely recommend him

I've been seeing David for a few months now, and am very happy with the work we have been doing together. David is very knowledgeable, listens to your concerns, and is committed to find the best solutions and ways to help. I have seen many different practitioners for my symptoms and can safely say no one has taken the time to explain your issues as much as David does. Would definitely recommend.

I decided to see an osteopath when I developed increasingly excruciating pain in my shoulder. I began my treatment journey with David, and 6 sessions later I am almost completely pain free. David quickly diagnosed the problem was actually referred pain from my neck and carefully talked me through what he was doing each session (think muscle manipulation, stretching, massage etc), along with helpful exercises to do between. I’m so grateful for David’s professionalism and expertise, I didn’t realise how long I had been putting up with my pain until it had gone! I would absolutely recommend GW osteopathy to anyone with aches and pains!

Our services

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain and restricted function. Osteopathy is aimed at treating the whole body, by improving overall flexibility and posture, resulting in improved health and a reduction in pain. An osteopath will look at the whole body for answers and solutions, not just the area which is painful.
