MSK Osteopathy at MG Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic

Musculoskeletal (MSK) Osteopathy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing pain and dysfunction affecting the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and spine. At MG Osteopathy & Sports Injury Clinic, we take a hands-on, evidence-based approach to help you move better, feel stronger, and recover faster.

Whether you’re dealing with persistent aches, a sports injury, or everyday stiffness, our MSK osteopaths tailor treatment to your body, lifestyle, and goals.

What Is MSK Osteopathy?

MSK Osteopathy is a manual therapy approach that looks at how your muscles, joints, and nervous system work together. Rather than focusing only on where the pain is, we assess the whole body to identify underlying causes and restore optimal movement.

  I came to see Murat at MG Osteopathy with knee pain that was preventing me from running. I’d seen a physio previously, but that hadn’t worked out. From the outset it was clear that Murat’s approach was different. He took an holistic view and spent time to really understand the root causes. He did a mix of observation and hands-on massage work in the initial consultation, and I left feeling much better, and knowing that I had a solid diagnosis and way forward. Subsequent sessions have been equally helpful and illuminating. I now have the confidence to get back to running and have also gained awareness of what I need to do to maintain mobility and strengthen my weak knee. A highly professional and effective service, I wholeheartedly recommend.

  Jula helped me recover from a lisfranc tear. Was my first time visiting an osteopath, and she helped my recovery through massage therapy as well as a holistic approach to strengthening my lower body and prevent injuries in the future.

  I have been treated by  Isabel Kelly at MG Osteopathy for four months.  After seeing other osteopaths in the past, I have undergone the most improvement with Isabel.  She’s professional, knowledgeable, and detailed in her treatment plan.  She is very keen to develop a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.  Over time, I’ve experienced a significant reduction in pain.  I highly recommend Isabel to anyone seeking osteopathic treatment.

  I have had a great experience with Isabel! She is very detail oriented and thorough, and has taught me a lot about how I move my body. The treatment sessions are also amazing! My back has really loosened in my five sessions. Would recommend to a friend!

  Jula has really helped me work on longstanding issues I've struggled with for years, providing immediate relief but also thoughtful and clear instructions on what to do to avoid recurrence and ensure I'm not just performing better and enormously more pain-free in my various sporting endeavours (running, skiing, football, rugby...) than for many years, but also happier and keener to take on new challenges, despite not getting any younger...

  I had a few sessions with Jula, and I highly recommend her. After a thorough examination, she explained the causes of my back pain in a clear and detailed way. She provided targeted treatment and recommended daily exercises to help improve my condition. Jula is not only knowledgeable but also very kind and calm, making the entire experience comfortable and reassuring. I’m very pleased with the treatment and would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of osteopathy care!

  I would highly recommend MG Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinic due to its friendly environment makes you feel at ease. I have cervical spondylosis and required osteopath treatment.  I was treated by Jula Needham, Osteopath, her thoroughness  and precision to detail is outstanding. At my 1st treatment my neck and shoulders were stiff and painful. Due to Jula's massage and neck strengthening treatment after 3 sessions I have free movement and minimal pain.  Jula Needham treatment is the best I have experienced.

 recommends I have been training with Murat and his team for over 2 months now. I am extremely impressed with his structured work outs that are suited to me and the help and support he delivers in and out of the studio. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a boost in life to give him or one of his fantastic members of staff a call. You won't regret it.

 recommends I decided 9 weeks after my daughter was born it was time to bite the bullet and get back into fitness. Having not exercised for months I was a little nervous about doing a fit for mums class but it was great. Although at times it felt hard, it was also manageable and the next day all my muscles in those key areas really ached, which is just what you want! Murat knows which areas to target and always has alternative ways to do it. Being a dad himself he is great with the babies and attends to them if required during the class. This is brilliant as it means you can focus on the exercises! I would highly recommend to any new mum! Thanks Murat, ill be coming regularly!
