Osteopath in Overton, near Basingstoke

I’m Robert Green. I qualified with a BOst (Bachelor of Osteopathy) from Middlesex University, I’m registered with the General Osteopathic Council (no. 11480), and I’m currently studying for an MSc in Clinical Pain Management. I have specialised training in sports and exercise medicine and psychology-informed practices.

I’ll listen to your story, examine you, explain what I think is going on in plain English, and agree a plan with you. If something needs a GP or further investigation, I’ll say so. More about me and the team.

Osteopathy is hands-on care plus exercise and advice for muscles and joints. People come to see me with:

• Back pain (not from an injury or accident) and sciatica
• Neck pain, headaches that come from the neck, and migraine prevention
• Shoulder and elbow pain linked to a back or neck problem, and joint pains
• Arthritic pain, rheumatic pain, and hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis as an addition to your usual treatment and exercise
• Muscle spasm, cramp and minor sports injuries
• General aches and pains, and tension
• Neuralgia and fibromyalgia
• Circulatory problems and digestion problems

Everyone is different and I can’t promise a result. If your problem isn’t listed, ask in a free consultation. See the full list and what each term means.

I can’t promise results for any of these. If a problem is new, severe or getting worse quickly, please call me on 01256 578137 first and I’ll talk it through.

1. Your story. What’s bothering you, your health history, medication and what you want to get back to doing.
2. Examination. How you move, and simple clinical tests. Wear something comfortable; if you’d rather stay dressed, we’ll adapt.
3. Explanation. What I think is happening and your options.
4. Treatment, if it’s appropriate and you agree. Usually hands-on techniques plus exercises.
5. Your plan. Exercise videos sent to your phone through the Rehab Guru app, and an honest view on whether you need to come back. I don’t sell packages.

You can pause or stop at any time. Patients aged 8 and over are welcome (under-16s come with a parent or guardian), and so are pregnant women; tell me when you book and I’ll adapt the appointment. I don’t treat babies.

Home visits (up to 12 miles from the clinic) are pre-booked and are for people who can’t easily reach the clinic. The price depends on the visit, so please contact me.

Do I need a GP referral? No. Some insurers ask for one before they pay, so check your policy.

How many appointments will I need? It depends on you and the problem. I’ll give you an honest idea at your first visit, and I won’t book more than you need. If things haven’t moved after a few appointments, we’ll review together, which may mean your GP or imaging rather than more of the same.

Is osteopathy safe? Mild soreness or tiredness for a day or two is the most common reaction. Serious complications are rare. I’ll explain the risks and benefits and ask for your consent before treating you. The figures and their National Council for Osteopathic Research source are on the FAQ page.

When should I call 999 or 111, or call Rob, instead? If you have pain with numbness or weakness in both legs, changes in bladder or bowel control, loss of feeling around your genitals, chest pain, or pain after a serious accident, call 999 or go to A&E. If you feel generally unwell with your pain, or it’s severe or getting worse quickly, call me on 01256 578137 and I’ll talk it through, or call 111.
