Osteopaths in Ealing and Uxbridge
Osteopathy and good health by two osteopaths living in Uxbridge and Ealing
We will be available for osteopathic treatment between Christmas and the New Year, although we will be operating a reduced service.
Please contact us on 020 8566 0767 (for Ealing) or 01895 2000 50 (for Uxbridge) to arrange an appointment.
We hope that you (and all of our patients) will be very happy with our service and treatment.
However, if you do have a problem or want to complain, Peter and I aim to be approachable to everyone and truly want to resolve any issues or concerns that a patient may have. Nothing has changed in this regard since Bridge to Health first opened its doors, but in light of recent instructions from the British Osteopathic Association we have published a complaints procedure so that patients know who to contact and how to escalate their complaint if they feel it necessary.

October is a month in which we celebrate milestones at Bridge to Health…
On Friday (1st October), we will be celebrating the start of our fourth year of opening at our clinic in Uxbridge. We would like to thank those many patients who have visited us for treatment and nutrition advice over the years, and those who have then recommended Bridge to Health or entrusted us with partners, children, parents and friends.
Equally, we express our gratitude to Bayer, Gondola Group, Hertz, Hillingdon Council, Insight, Nexen, Otsuka, PWC and the Salvation Army for commissioning us for posture management workshops or onsite pain diagnostic clinics; it is great to get a chance to spread simple but effective health tips within the local working community!
Later this month (15th), our Ealing clinic enters its second year of receiving and helping patients too. Thank you to all the local residents and employees who increasingly are turning to us when in pain. Thanks also to our friends at Genesis, Transworld Publishing and 1E for requesting our training services.
Mathieu, Peter and Jessica
Are you looking for recommended ante-natal classes or a local yoga instructor in Ealing? Counselling /Psychotherapy? Where to get nutrition supplements in Uxbridge (health food stores), find a gym, or want to find pilates and tai chi classes, then check out our Health Links where you will find an ever expanding list of local Ealing and Uxbridge health professionals.
We believe osteopathy is a key vehicle of health improvement, but also know long-term health is conditioned by range of good lifestyle habits including appropriate exercise, nutrition and general life outlook. Our aim in publishing a list of local resources is to provide our patients with a range of good local contacts from which to select professional help or a weekly exercise activity.
We have been careful in selecting contacts/services either through personal recommendations by patients or by approaching them directly and meeting them face to face. We hope you find these contacts useful and welcome any suggestions and feedback (by email or telephone).
Our “Health Links” pages can be found under the “About Us” option on the navigation menu at the top of the page (and also in the footer at the very bottom).
As you will know if you have received our newsletter, we have just launched our online exercise library. We hope that it will help not only our patients, but also the general public at large to implement body balance and posture enhancement exercises safely and effectively. Click on Exercises from the navigation bar at the top of the page to access the welcome page and videos.
If you have any questions or feedback regarding these videos, please contact us on 020 8566 0767 (Ealing) or 01895 2000 50 (Uxbridge), or by email at help@bridgetohealth.co.uk. You can also post a comment here (at the bottom of this post).
This month, Laurent has been working very hard getting our new informational exercise videos ready to publish. Most are now online at www.youtube.com/bridgetohealthvideo and we will shortly be adding a reference/index page to our website here so that we and our patients can quickly find their individually recommended exercises.
Each video is about 1 minute long – an example for Lower Back – Pelvis – Core Stability is below:
Stretching of lumbar and pelvic muscles
This exercise aims to enable a relaxing and healthy distraction of every joint from the lower back through to the ankle. It is as useful for athletes as it is for people suffering from osteo-arthritis.
Thank you again Laurent for all your help.

When we haven’t been treating patients Peter and I have been working with a good friend, (and patient) Laurent, to create a series of short informational videos for exercising.
A key component of our patients’ recovery is their ability and willingness to undertake the rehabilitation exercises. We endeavour to keep these exercises to a minimum, nonetheless, they may amount to a half dozen different exercises – some of which may not be easily remembered.
Sharing exercise videos for patients is something that we have been wanting to do for a long time. We can discuss and demonstrate the exercises when we are with a patient but a video is also available online as a reminder in the future.
I am really excited about this, as I am convinced these videos will provide real support and encouragement to our patients, help them implement their rehab routine more successfully and hence speed up their recovery – watch this space!
Example video below – Neck and Shoulders / Neck Mobility:
Many thanks to Laurent for all your help.

Tomorrow (christmas eve) the Uxbridge clinic is open, but Ealing will be closed and both clinics are closed on Friday (25th), Saturday and Monday 28th.

Mathieu, Jessica and I wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy and healthy 2010. Thank you for your support.
In our excitement we forgot to announce that our new clinic in Ealing has opened and saw its first patients on Tuesday this week!
In case you missed it our address and contact number for Ealing is:
Bridge to Health
Platinum 8 Studios
22, the Green
Ealing, London W5 5DA
Telephone: 020 8566 0767
We are just 3 minutes walk from the Broadway or 5 minutes from Ealing tube station.
So you can now book an appointment to see an osteopath in Ealing or in Uxbridge and we have a rota for Peter, Jessica and myself being in one clinic or the other.
It’s been a very busy time getting the second clinic open and we are looking forward to helping more patients in the coming months.
While we are busy preparing to open our second Osteopathic Healthcare Clinic in Ealing, a new osteopath has also joined our team.
Peter and I have been looking for a third partner for a while, and as we considered a short-list of friends and colleagues, Peter contacted Jessica Busen-Smith, a colleague whom he had met when studying at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Although she was already working for clinics in central London and Epping, she readily agreed to meet us and visit our premises in Uxbridge. We were immediately drawn to her quietly confident and sunny personality, and her caring, reflective approach to osteopathic treatment. She in turn voiced approval and support of our vision of osteopathy and health.
Jessie is treating patients in Uxbridge on Mondays and Wednesdays, and will soon be available in Ealing as our team rotates between the two clinics.
Jessie brings a wealth of professional and human experience to her practice beyond her osteopathic training. She gained her first degree and Masters in physics with honours at Sussex University, and then worked for four years as a research assistant for the Childrens’ Hospital Immunodeficiency program (CHIP) in Denver Colorado, where she was involved in liaising with patients and parents as well as research activities. Those two experiences alone hint at a good combination of logic, rigour and human empathy.
Welcome Jessie!
