Catrin Mear Osteopath

I specialise in helping people recover from chronic or long term persistent pain.

I am also a cranial osteopath and I have many years of experience helping infants and children with using this gentle hands on treatment approach.

Coming for an Osteopathy treatment is an enjoyable experience. If you are in pain, I will do my best to ensure you are comfortable and are listened to!

I will examine your whole body to find out what might be causing the problem, and our sessions are always guided by an expert sense of where you are restricted and where there is ease.

My hands-on approach helps your body relax and let go of tension and pain, calming your nervous system. The treatment approach will be explained, and your consent obtained, and you’ll also experience no clicks, cracks, or crunches. It’s an extremely safe approach for all ages.

One question I get asked is:
What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is not different to osteopathy; it is the name given to a subtle and refined approach to osteopathy that follows all the principles of osteopathy, but that includes the anatomy and physiology of the head.

As cranial osteopaths, we use a highly trained sense of touch to feel subtle changes of tension and tissue quality. We are drawn to areas in the body that have been affected by past events, such as old accidents and injuries.

As part of the treatment, we activate the innate ability of the body to heal itself, and by offering gentle and specific support where it is needed to bring the tissues into a state of balance and release, to restore it to health.

(Thank you to Sutherland Cranial College Organisation for providing some of the words for this definition).

If you'd like to learn more, my 30-minute free consultations are the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you may have and see if the treatment is right for you.

If you are on the journey of resolving your chronic pain and understanding the Mind-Body process, there are a number of good books I recommend that will educate you and inspire you. 📕

One of my favourites is:

Heal Chronic Pain: The Way Out by Alan Gordon.

This is a light-hearted and humorous yet informative easy-read about the causes of chronic pain and how to heal it using a method he has developed called Pain Reprocessing Therapy, which helped 98% of the patients who participated.

One of the most common questions I get asked is: What is Osteopathy?

Put simply, osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on releasing tension in the body and treating or preventing health conditions. It involves massaging, stretching, and moving patients' muscles and joints.

It has an evidence base for helping a range of pain conditions and, in particular, can help your body to relax. I also specialise in Cranial Osteopathy, a gentler form of osteopathy that involves no ‘cracking and clicking’.

Welcome, and let me introduce myself - I’m Catrin Mear.

My journey began after experiencing the remarkable benefits of osteopathy following an injury from a fall in the mountains. Since then, I’ve gained over 20 years of experience in the field, specialising in Cranial Osteopathy and Chronic Pain Coaching.

My proven results and personalised approach help clients feel supported, understood, and confident in their journey to recovery from back pain, migraines, sciatica, joint pain, and more.

If you’d like to experience the benefits of my work for yourself, I’m based at my lovely clinic in Cobham, Surrey. Chronic Pain Coaching is also available online for those living some distance away.

Did you know that sometimes pain can be connected to our mental health and well-being?

It’s no coincidence that pain can get worse when we’re stressed. We might even be able to pinpoint the start of a particular pain to a challenging event in our lives.

By looking at the whole person and considering these factors in our work together, I am able to help my clients make a fuller recovery.

It’s an empowering approach that helps people understand their bodies better and learn strategies to resolve stress-related pain.

I can work with you in person or online, focusing solely on Chronic Pain Coaching, or we can incorporate this coaching into our in-person Osteopathy sessions.

If you’d like to discover more about Chronic Pain Coaching or Osteopathy, my 30-minute free consultations are the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you may have and see if the treatment is right for you.

If you’re struggling with pain, it’s natural to be sceptical about trying a treatment such as Osteopathy for fear of making your pain worse.

The aim of my sessions is for you to feel as relaxed as possible, and to support your body in making the necessary adjustments towards health (with safe and gentle guidance).

If you’re curious about whether Osteopathy could help your body feel relaxed again, you can book a free 30-minute discovery call. During the call, you’re welcome to ask any questions you might have.

Chronic pain can occur anywhere in the body. I recently helped someone who had pain in their wrist for almost a year to the point where they just couldn’t use it some days and had to give up driving their car, thinking it was too heavy and they needed to get a new one.

They had seen the doctors, had scans, blood tests and injections but the injections had only made the pain worse. So eventually they had been told by the pain clinics that there was nothing more that could be done and to learn to manage the pain.

When we first met, the first thing I asked was what had been going on in their life around the time it all started ? And sure enough as occurs around 100% of the time there had been lots of stress, in fact there had been stress for a few years!

And so began their education and understanding of how stress can lead to chronic pain and how you can reduce it by learning how to process the stress and emotions of life. So it’s not about managing the pain, it’s about managing your stress response …as lets face it life is always going to push our buttons.

This Client diligently took action and worked through the steps we recommend as qualified SIRPA professionals to overcome the stress response of chronic pain. And within a couple of months they reported the wrist pain had gone.

In addition to being an Osteopath, I am a qualified SIRPA practitioner where SIRPA stands for Stress Illness Recovery Practitioners Association. If you are feeling helpless about a chronic pain condition, book a free discovery call using the link in the bio and I can assess whether this approach is right for you.

Pain can sometimes linger for months or years after an emergency operation . Even after a planned operation when you might have pinned your hopes on the operation getting rid of the pain. I have seen this really affect peoples lives leaving them feeling hopeless as they have tried everything and can only hope to live with the pain.

This type of pain is usually something called neuroplastic pain which means it has been learnt as a part of a protective response but it can also be unlearnt using something called a mind body approach.

I am a registered health professional with 20 years of experience treating patients and I am also a qualified SIRPA practitioner which gives me the tools to help you learn the mind-body approach.

Book a discovery call and start your journey out of chronic pain.
