15 Years of Healing, Learning & Connection

Fifteen years ago, I met a woman who had been carrying low-back pain for 15 long years, every morning waking with that ache, every movement a reminder that something wasn’t quite right. After her first session with me, she stood up and smiled because for the first time in more than a decade, she felt free and without pain. That moment changed everything for me.
It reminded me that being an osteopath isn’t just about moving bones and easing muscles, it’s about giving people their life back. It’s about restoring hope. It’s about handing someone the freedom to walk again without fear.
Over these years I’ve learned this truth: every patient deserves time to be seen and heard. So I build every session around empathy, trust, inclusivity, and openness. I don’t just listen to complaints, symptoms and problems, I listen to your life, your story, your hopes and the results you want to achieve.
Now, my mission is clear: I don’t just treat backs, joints, or muscles, I support people. I empower them. I partner with them to rewrite their movement story.
To everyone who has come through my clinic door, thank you. Your resilience, your moments of breakthrough, your courage to seek change have taught me just as much as I hope I’ve helped you.
Here’s to more stories of movement, more moments of freedom, more lives reclaimed.

8 Days Left!
I’m heading off to South Africa on the 21st Nov, to spend some much-needed quality time with my wife, daughter and her family. But before I jet off, I want to make sure you don’t miss out.
Your body deserves better than a “catch up later” treatment. If you’ve been putting yourself to the bottom of the list, now’s the moment to take action.
Imagine walking into your day feeling lighter, looser and ready for anything.

I only have 8 clinic days left with available appointments before I’m away until Monday 8th Dec, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Book now: alisterboothosteopath.co.uk or using the link in my bio.

New and returning patients welcome, don’t wait, your body’s already sending the signal.

Half the week done (almost) but is your body feeling the climb?
Wednesday could be the time when those little aches, tight shoulders or niggling back pain show up.
Take a moment, move your body, breathe, and give yourself a reset.
If your body’s been quietly sending signals that it’s time for care, I’ve got next-week appointments available. New & returning patients are welcome.

I look forward to helping you move better, feel better and enjoy the things you love doing pain free.

It’s the start of November, how’s your body really feeling?
Any tight shoulders, low-back pain, tension headaches creeping in?
If you’ve been ignoring those niggles, now’s the moment to listen.
I offer a full-body reset to help you move freer and feel lighter this autumn.
Quick tip: Tonight, lie on your back, draw your knees gently into your chest for 30 seconds and rock side to side for 30 seconds, then stretch your arms overhead and take five deep, slow breaths. This simple move releases spinal tension and breathes new space into your body.
Ready to feel better? I’ve got slots available next week, new and returning patients welcome.

Imagine waking up feeling lighter, looser, and more human again, ready to move without fear of your back ‘creeping up’ on you.

Half Term Got You Feeling Run Ragged?
Whether you’ve been chasing the kids around all week…
…or you’re a teacher recovering from surviving half term, your body might just be waving a little white flag right now.
Lifting, bending, carrying, crouching, it all adds up. Those little twinges or tight spots? They’re your body’s way of saying, “Hey, remember me?”
Osteopathy can help ease those aches, release tension, and give your body the reset it’s craving, so you can head back into next week feeling refreshed, rebalanced, and ready.
Imagine that moment when your shoulders drop, your back loosens, and your body finally exhales.
Two last-minute appointments have just opened up for tomorrow!
Appointments also available next week, for both new and returning patients.
Let’s get you feeling more like you again.

Book online now at alisterboothosteopath.co.uk or use the link in my bio.
The kids might bounce back easily but you deserve a proper recovery too.

A small reset now can make a huge difference to how you move, sleep, and feel over the next few weeks.

You may remember that I ruptured my Achilles at the end of March this year and it’s been quite the journey since then.
Recovery is going well. I’m doing my rehab, staying consistent, and feeling stronger every week but it hasn’t been a straight line.
Some days everything feels great, strong, mobile, hopeful.
Other days, it’s tight, sore, or slower than I’d like.
That’s the truth about recovery, it’s full of peaks and troughs.
The body doesn’t heal in perfect stages. It adapts, tests, and recalibrates. Sometimes it needs rest, sometimes it needs challenge and the real skill is learning to listen, not force.
I’m taking things very steadily as I make my way back onto the pitch with the amazing Touch Rugby team. It feels incredible to be moving again, even gently and I’m pacing myself, celebrating each milestone, and staying patient with the process.
I’m also proud to now be Iceni’s team osteopath, offering sideline support at tournaments, helping the squad stay mobile, resilient, and game-ready.
Recovery teaches you so much, not just about muscle and tendon repair, but about mindset, patience, and trust in your body’s ability to heal.
Progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about persistence.
If you’re in the middle of your own recovery journey, keep going.
Listen to your body.
Celebrate the small wins.
Remember, healing is happening, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

Cold, Wet, Windy Outside, Warm, Calm, and Restorative Inside.

While the weather’s doing its best to make everything feel tense and tight, my treatment room is the exact opposite, warm, calm, and designed to help your body unwind and reset.
This time of year, many people notice their joints ache a little more, old injuries start to grumble, or muscles feel stiffer than usual.
Here’s the good news, you don’t have to just put up with it.
Top Tip for the Colder Weather:
Keep your body moving, even gently. Short bursts of movement, standing stretches, a few shoulder rolls, or a short walk, keep your circulation flowing and your joints happier. The more you move, the less your body tightens against the cold.
If your back, neck, or joints are letting you know they’re not happy right now, it might be time for a little reset.
My bespoke, private treatment room is ready to welcome you, where it’s warm, quiet, and all about you.
Appointments available next week for both new and returning patients.
Let’s get you moving better and feeling more like yourself again.
