At Sanderstead Osteopaths, we blend the rich histories of osteopathy and Pilates for holistic healthcare. Osteopathy, established in the late 1800s by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, emphasises the body's self-healing ability through manual therapy and interconnected body systems. It has evolved globally, offering diverse treatments including exercise and lifestyle advice.
Joseph Pilates, paralleling osteopathy, introduced Pilates in the early 20th century, initially for rehabilitating injured soldiers. Now a popular fitness discipline, Pilates enhances core strength, flexibility, and body awareness through controlled movements and breathwork.
Our practice unites osteopathy's manual therapy and structural alignment with Pilates’ core strengthening, offering a holistic approach to wellness and preventive healthcare. This synergy effectively merges two philosophies for improved overall health and well-being.
At Sanderstead Osteopaths, we recognise the uniqueness of each patient, offering customised therapeutic techniques combining osteopathy and Pilates. Tailored to individual health goals and conditions, our approach treats chronic pain, injury recovery, and postural issues with a mix of osteopathic treatments and Pilates exercises. This personalised method addresses root causes, leading to sustainable health outcomes. Our commitment is to guide each patient towards recovery and lasting well-being.
Pregnancy-Induced Musculoskeletal Changes: Pregnancy significantly alters the body's musculoskeletal dynamics, often leading to lower back pain and pelvic instability. This is caused by the softening of ligaments, weight gain, and the shifting centre of gravity.
Osteopathy for Alignment and Relief: Our osteopathic treatments target the lumbar and sacral areas, which bear the brunt of these changes. Techniques like gentle spinal manipulation and pelvic alignment help in alleviating lower back pain and preparing the pelvis for childbirth.
Pilates for Core and Pelvic Strength: Pilates during pregnancy focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. These exercises are crucial for supporting the uterus, reducing pelvic pain, and aiding in labour and delivery.

Physical Strains of Childbirth: Post-natal bodies need care to recover from the strains of childbirth, particularly in the abdominal and pelvic regions. Issues like weakened pelvic floor muscles and abdominal separation (diastasis recti) are common.
Realigning the Post-natal Body: Osteopathy post-delivery focuses on realigning the spine and pelvis, which often shift during pregnancy and childbirth. Manual therapy aids in restoring balance and reducing post-natal discomfort.
Strengthening and Rehabilitation through Pilates: Post-natal Pilates targets core re-strengthening, focusing on repairing diastasis recti and rebuilding pelvic floor strength. This not only aids in physical recovery but also helps in regaining pre-pregnancy body strength.
Regain your strength and balance after childbirth with our tailored post-natal osteopathy and Pilates program at Sanderstead Osteopaths. Our expert care will help you realign, rebuild, and rejuvenate, ensuring a smoother recovery and return to your pre-pregnancy vitality. Book your session now and embark on a restorative journey tailored just for you.
Challenges of Post-Injury and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery from injuries or surgeries like knee or hip replacements demands a focused rehabilitation plan. These conditions can lead to reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and joint stiffness.
Osteopathic Techniques for Mobility and Pain Relief: We use osteopathic manipulative treatment to improve joint mobility, enhance lymphatic flow for reducing swelling, and promote tissue healing. This is especially beneficial in restoring function post-surgery.
Pilates for Strength and Mobility Enhancement: Pilates in the rehabilitation process focuses on building strength around the injured or operated area. For knee injuries, for instance, Pilates would target strengthening the quadriceps and hamstrings to support the knee joint.
Root Causes of Back Pain: Back pain can stem from various factors, including poor posture, sedentary lifestyle, or previous injuries. These often lead to muscle imbalances and spinal misalignments.
Osteopathic Treatments for Spinal Health: Our approach will begin with spinal manipulation to correct misalignments. We also focus on myofascial release techniques to relieve muscle tension that contributes to back pain.
Pilates for a Stronger Back and Core: Pilates sessions are designed to strengthen the core muscles, which are pivotal in supporting the spine. Strengthening these muscles helps in maintaining proper posture and reducing the recurrence of back pain.

Common Causes of Joint Pain: Knee and shoulder pain are often the result of overuse, arthritis, or injuries like tears and sprains. These conditions can lead to chronic pain, reduced range of motion, and strength loss.
Osteopathic Care for Joint Functionality: Our osteopathic treatments for these joints involve techniques to increase mobility, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Soft tissue work around the affected joints helps in improving circulation and promoting healing.
Pilates for Joint Stability and Strength: Targeted Pilates exercises for the knee might include work on leg alignment and strengthening the surrounding muscles. For shoulder issues, the focus would be on exercises that enhance shoulder girdle stability and strength.
