Before you book.
Should I rest or keep moving when I have back pain?
For most types of back pain, staying gently active is better than complete rest. Extended bed rest can actually slow recovery. Amina will advise you on what level of activity is appropriate for your specific situation and will give you clear guidance on what to do and avoid between sessions.
Can osteopathy help with sciatica?
Osteopathy is commonly used to help manage sciatic symptoms. Treatment focuses on reducing compression or irritation around the nerve pathway, improving mobility in the lumbar spine and hips, and addressing muscular tightness that may be contributing to the problem. Results vary depending on the cause and severity.
Do I need a scan or X-ray before coming?
No. You do not need any imaging before booking. If Amina considers imaging clinically relevant, she will discuss that with you during your appointment and advise accordingly.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Message Amina directly on WhatsApp and she will confirm availability. Appointments are typically available within a few days.
Is the clinic easy to reach from central London?
Yes. The clinic is in Chelsea SW10, close to Kings Road. The nearest stations are Imperial Wharf (Overground), Fulham Broadway (District line), and Sloane Square (Circle and District lines). Parking is available on request.
