Osteopathy for Young Adults
Teenagers go through huge physical, mental and hormonal change. Osteopathy can help support teenagers through this difficult stage in their development.
Spinal growth and development surges in the early adolescent years and the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia takes time to adapt to rapid growth spurts and postural changes. At this stage abnormal spinal curves, such as a scoliosis, can develop.
While the body is in such a period of change it is also challenged by the increased demands of studying such as carrying large school bags, exams and the stress that accompanies them plus long hours of sitting and possibly poor posture. Sleeping and eating habits can also be affected.
Teenagers are also more likely to spend long hours using technology such as smartphones, tablets and computers also leading to poor posture.
It is important for teenagers to be assessed regularly through this time period. Providing osteopathy to teenagers can help by facilitating correct posture and alignment. Advice can be given on footwear, school bags, pillows, study area, exercise, stretching and posture.
We treat individuals not conditions and will take time to look at all the factors contributing to a discomfort, strain or injury. Treatment is usually gentle, using soft tissue massage, joint articulation and occasionally joint manipulation. Teenagers often find this very relaxing and often report improved sleep afterwards.

Been seeing Paul for a couple of months now for my neck pain, had been using another fairly local osteopaths before and didn’t really seem to be making any progress, but since finding here it’s been much better. I suffer really badly with tension in my neck which leads to real bad headaches, and can highly recommend this place for anyone who suffers the same issue as Paul has helped me massively.

October 28, 2023I took my newborn daughter to David due to her being very gassy and unsettled. Within the first week of David seeing her she was a lot more settled and was sleeping for a lot longer at night. I would highly recommend the treatment here with David for anyone with newborns with similar issues.

Lexi has been very helpful with pain in my back and the treatments have been very affective and she gives out great follow up exercises
Max
February 28, 2024I’ve been seeing David for 10+ years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’ve recently taken my 15year old son to David as he has had some health issues effecting his muscles and joints, he has experienced immediate improvements. I also recommended my mum who sees another member of the team and again, is really pleased with the treatment and outcome 5⭐️
Andrew
August 28, 2023I had treatments for backache and neck pain with both Tom and David, during pregnancy and after birth. I found the sessions really beneficial, they were gentle but straight to the point causing the pain. My mother sorted her backache in 4 treatments too. And I also got my newborn treated which helped her as she is much more relaxed now. I definitely recommend this clinic, osteopathy is good at any stage of life.

I’ve visited Tom at Sanderstead Osteopaths since March for postnatal neck and back issues and then subsequent issues with my neck from looking after a baby (and now toddler) and he’s absolutely superb. I’d highly recommend him!
Louise
August 28, 2021Thanks to Tom for treating me before and after my Marathon last year – I literally would not have been able to do it without him. He also treated me for a pulled shoulder and neck pain. I'll definitely use Sanderstead Osteopaths again – highly recommend! 👍
Richard
August 28, 2023Have seen both David and Clare on and off over the last 4 years with lower back pain/stiffness. They really know their stuff and have always provided me with solutions to my lower back. My job is quite demanding and doesn't help the pain (lots of driving and lifting) but knowing David and Clare will always be there to help at Sanderstead Osteopaths it puts my mind at rest. I started going weekly and with the regular treatments it's eased the pain so now I am going every 2-4 weeks. I would highly recommend either of these guys!

Great experience with Sanderstead Osteopaths. I began treatment due to a sports injury in my leg which greatly reduced my mobility. In all honesty, I just looked up osteopaths near me and these lads came up. Couldn’t be more happy with their work. My progress to recovery has taken time and obviously money to get to where I am now (back to 95%) but I couldn’t be more pleased. All of my treatment was by Paul Harmes. If you need something to be looked at, consider these guys. C

David has been treating my lower back pain. He provides a very professional service, and has a wealth of knowledge. Sanderstead Osteopath is a welcoming, cosy and clean clinic. On bad days when I have hardly been able to walk due to the pain, after David's treatment I feel I can do star jumps! The instant relief is noticeable. Parking is nearby which is very convenient. I highly recommend anyone to come here, you won't be disappointed.

I have been using Sanderstead Osteopaths for many years David has been treating my ongoing back and neck issues and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I would highly recommend.
Allison
August 28, 2023Absolutely brilliant. Lexi is a miracle worker, i always come away feeling back on track and realigned. I honestly dont know what i would do without her regular resets! She is lovely and the practice is always, welcoming, warm and quiet.
