Structure
Start with the whole picture.
Posture, joint mechanics and load distribution can all influence how symptoms are experienced.
Mike O'Connor · M.Ost.
Osteopathy that looks beyond the symptom.
A considered whole-body approach combining osteopathy, myofascial work and neuro-functional assessment for persistent and complex presentations.
Mike O'Connor · Osteopath
Pain can be local. The wider pattern may not be.
UK registered osteopath, trained at University College of Osteopathy. Mike uses an evidence-informed, patient-centred approach incorporating advanced myofascial release, neuro-functional assessment and selected visceral techniques.
A different way to look at function
The body rarely works in isolated parts.
In practice
Clinical work,
seen differently.
Assessment, touch and movement are treated as part of one connected process rather than separate moments.
Hands-on assessment
Read the body before trying to change it.
Subtle differences in tissue response, movement and load help shape the direction of treatment.
Movement
What changes when the body moves?
Movement gives context to what is found on the table and helps connect treatment to everyday function.

THE STORY.
How we look at the body
The body doesn’t work in isolation.
Symptoms may be local, but the pattern behind them can involve several connected systems.
02
Fascia
Follow the connections.
Fascial tension can link distant areas of the body and alter movement, comfort and tissue response.
03
Nervous system
Understand the response.
The nervous system can shape protection, muscle recruitment and the persistence of pain beyond the original injury.
04
Movement
Rebuild confidence in motion.
Assessment and treatment are brought back into movement so the body can adapt, load and recover more effectively.
Treatments
Choose the right starting point.
A focused set of appointments for general osteopathy, specialist work and more complex presentations.

Osteopathy
Assessment-led osteopathic care for new and returning patients.
Myofascial Release
Focused hands-on work with fascial restriction and movement.
Chronic Pain Resolution
A neuro-functional and pain-informed approach to persistent presentations.
Pre / Post-Natal Osteopathy
Individual osteopathic support through pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
TMJ & Migraine Support
Assessment of jaw, neck and related functional patterns.
Scar Tissue Work
Clinical work with scar tissue following surgery or injury.
The approach
Understand the pattern.
Look beyond the symptom
Assessment considers movement, muscular recruitment and wider functional relationships.
Work with fascia
Hands-on myofascial techniques form an important part of Mike's clinical approach.
Consider the nervous system
Neuro-functional assessment explores how movement and stabilisation patterns may be contributing to symptoms.
Reassess
Changes are checked during the appointment and the plan is adapted accordingly.
