We love hearing feedback like this! Thank you, Kate, for your kind words:

“I have been receiving excellent treatment from George Salt over the last few years for different chronic musculoskeletal issues.

Recently, he has been using shockwave therapy and osteopathy on my tibial tendinopathy. I can definitely feel an improvement after each treatment.

George is also flexible in his approach, because he is very perceptive and spots other issues which also need ongoing treatment.
I can thoroughly recommend!”

👏 Huge thanks to our expert osteopath George Salt for providing such flexible, effective care. At Osteo and Physio, we’re proud to support patients with advanced treatments like shockwave therapy alongside hands-on osteopathy to achieve real, lasting results.

📚✨ Back to School, Back to Health! ✨🎒

With the new term starting, students face long hours at desks, heavy bags, and more screen time—all of which can affect posture and cause aches or fatigue.

💡 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:
✅ Choose a supportive backpack (worn on both shoulders)
✅ Set up a healthy study space at home
✅ Take movement breaks every 30–40 minutes
✅ Strengthen core muscles for better spinal support
✅ Hold devices at eye level to avoid “tech neck”

If your child struggles with back pain, headaches, or stiffness, gentle osteopathy can help improve comfort, posture, and long-term wellbeing.

👉 Let’s make this school year healthy, strong, and pain-free!

With the right posture, students can protect their growing bodies, improve concentration, and feel their best both in and out of the classroom.

Meet Lily, who has joined our Crediton team as a sports massage therapist. She holds a degree in sports conditioning, rehabilitation and massage from Cardiff Metropolitan University, plus a level 5 diploma in sports massage therapy.

Her deep understanding of movement and body mechanics is shaped by both her studies and years of hands-on experience in physically demanding disciplines.

Lily was a dedicated ballet dancer for over 14 years, successfully completing all her Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams up to the intermediate level.

This achievement earned her valuable work experience at the Birmingham Royal Ballet. Her time in ballet gave her a deep appreciation for posture, movement quality, and injury prevention. She was also an active member of her local Pony Club and Young Farmers Club, and continues to enjoy horse riding recreationally.

Lily’s goal is to help clients stay strong, mobile, and pain-free, supporting them in reaching their optimum wellness.

Shockwave therapy is a highly effective non-invasive therapy, used for treating acute and long term tendon and ligament injuries such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy.

Shockwave machines deliver rapid blasts of acoustic waves from the applicator in the therapist’s hand into the target area down to a pre-specified depth. The interaction these waves have with the tissues stimulates tissue repair, reduced pain and increased mobility.
