What is osteopathy
Osteopathy is based on a simple understanding – that structure governs function. Your wellbeing depends on your muscles, bones, ligaments and joints functioning in harmony.
Like many osteopaths, we believe that the symptoms you present with are just the starting point. So before undertaking any physical examination, we take into account your medical history, lifestyle and personal circumstances, acknowledging that, while your condition may be similar to others, you are completely unique.
Rest assured, whoever treats you at New Body Osteopathy will be fully trained, qualified and registered. We have all studied a degree similar to a medical degree for a minimum of 4 years, but with greater emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine. In fact, by the time we qualified, we’d had more than 1,000 clinical hours. Our in-depth knowledge of anatomy and fine sense of touch ensures we are well placed to diagnose the cause of your pain.
All systems of the body are related therefore a change in one area can easily affect functioning of another system. For example neck and head pain may be caused by an old ankle injury that makes you stand awkwardly, whilst pelvic imbalance from giving birth can put pressure on your sciatic nerve. The list goes! Osteopathy is well placed to understand the body’s many complexities and find the root of pain.
Our treatments incorporate several techniques including joint mobilisation and manipulations, soft tissue massage, medical acupuncture, sports taping, rehabilitation and postural exercises, combined with self-care advice. By easing muscle tension and increasing blood supply and nerve function, we aim, with minimal medication, to dramatically reduce your pain and help you to feel human again.

Sports massage is primarily associated with injury prevention and recovery as a means of optimising performance. But it’s not just a treatment for athletes. It’s also useful when tackling other problems, including back pain and postural issues – increasingly common complaints among those of us who sit for long periods of time at a desk.
With sports massage, the pressure we apply is generally deeper and combines stretching of specific muscles and surrounding areas. Our sports massage therapists have gone through extensive training in anatomy and physiology and understand the physical demands of competitive sports. They will assess the state of your muscles and design treatment plans to help prevent injury and aid performance and recovery. Alongside more advanced massage techniques, they may also give advice to improve your flexibility, boost performance and recovery.
If your issue is not sports-related but due to a sedentary occupation, we can help tackle those postural imbalances that often lead to muscular strains – stretching short, tight muscles and advising you how to strengthen weak areas.
ScarWork Therapy
ScarWork Therapy is a gentle technique that helps to improve the health and feel of scars from surgeries and accidents. Clients often comment their scars feel softer, look better and are less painful following treatment. Generally a course of treatment is recommended for optimal results but even a single session can produce visible change. All scars can be addressed including Caesarian section, hysterectomy, key hole surgery, joint replacementy, breast surgery and scars from accidents. Old and new scars respond well to treatment.
What is a Mummy MOT®?
A Mummy MOT® is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after childbirth. Your Mummy MOT® practitioner will provide you with gentle exercises and treatment to help with your recovery – and get you back on track with your fitness goals.
Up to half of all women experience weakness in both the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy and up to a third still have a tummy gap at eight weeks post-birth. This can cause instability or poor core strength leading to women developing pelvic or back pain or bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. These conditions should not be something you should just put up with as a result of having a baby.
It’s recommended that women have an initial assessment after their 6-8 week GP check, but we also treat women who gave birth years ago that may still have a tummy gap or related pelvic floor issues.
What is included?
Including:
- Full postural screen.
- Pelvic floor muscle assessment.
- Abdominal muscle exam to check for any separation.
- Screening for bladder, bowel or sexual dysfunction.
- Education and advice on safe activities such as lifting your baby or pushing a buggy.
- Bespoke rehabilitation programme with your goals and lifestyle factors in mind.
- A written report of the findings of your assessment.
If you are struggling with your postnatal recovery, get in touch today to learn about how our Mummy MOT® service can help you.
When our muscles ache and feel tired from the daily grind and stresses of life, nothing feels more relaxing than a massage to soothe the discomfort away. A deep tissue massage, which uses strokes that penetrate deeper into your muscles as well as pressure techniques, not only helps you to relax and de-stress, but also improves circulation.

ScarWork Therapy is a gentle technique that helps to improve the health and feel of scars from surgeries and accidents. Clients often comment their scars feel softer, look better and are less painful following treatment. Generally a course of treatment is recommended for optimal results but even a single session can produce visible change.

Medical acupuncture, which is usually offered as part of an osteopathy treatment plan, is an adaptation of Chinese traditional practices, backed up by the principles of evidence-based medicine.
Medical acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles through the skin and briefly left in position. Two or three needless are inserted at a time and manual stimulation is applied to assist the process. Acupuncture stimulates the nerves in skin and muscle. Evidence has shown that it increases the body’s release of endorphin and serotonin (our natural painkillers) in the pain pathways of the spinal cord and the brain. This changes the way pain signals are received and, as a result, the level to which pain is experienced. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) specifically recommends acupuncture for lower back pain.

Our Nutritionist, Richie, specialises in dietary education for weight management and sports nutrition to help you keep on track for the long term, enhance health and to address sport specific requirements or performance goals. Richie’s nutrition advice and support is both evidence based, and results driven, ensuring you achieve your goals in the easiest way possible.
Although one session may be all that you feel is necessary, most of our clients find further sessions invaluable to track their progress and receive on-going support. Follow-up appointments allow Richie to evaluate how you have managed with your initial plan and to make necessary adjustments that help you to achieve and maintain your goals long-term. Our nutrition packages which offer support between appointments are there for designed to help support you towards long term change and maximum results.
During your initial appointment a full anthropometric assessment can be made where body measurements including weight, height, waist circumference and skin fold measures are taken. This helps to understand how much of your tissues are made up of muscle, body fat and fluids to ensure the changes we make during each appointment are having the desired effect on your body composition. These measures can be repeated at follow up appointments so that you can see how your body composition changes over time.
At every consultation, Richie will analyse your diet using specialist software to understand your current macronutrient (fat, carbohydrate, protein) and micronutrient (vitamins, minerals) status. You will be given a report of your current energy (calorie), macronutrient and micronutrient intake to identify where there may be scope for change. Richie will then be able to analyse this information and devise an action plan making appropriate changes to reach your desired lifestyle, health and/or sports performance goals.

Two or three needless are inserted at a time and manual stimulation is applied to assist the process. Acupuncture stimulates the nerves in skin and muscle. Evidence has shown that it increases the body’s release of endorphin and serotonin (our natural painkillers) in the pain pathways of the spinal cord and the brain. This changes the way pain signals are received and, as a result, the level to which pain is experienced. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends considering acupuncture as a treatment option for tension headaches and migraines.
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing aimed to restore the body's equilibrium. It is commonly used to treat a range of conditions such as tension headaches, migraines, stress and anxiety, morning sickess to menopausal hot flashes as well as IVF assistance. It is believed to stimulate the nervous system and cause the release of neurochemical messenger molecules. The resulting biochemical changes influence the body's homeostatic mechanisms, thus promoting physical and emotional well-being.
IVF and Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been gaining support in the western medicine world of IVF as science has started to recognize its many benefits. There have been a variety of studies conducted reviewing the implications for acupuncture and fertility, and recent reports have shown a 65 percent increase in pregnancy success rates when IVF is combined with acupuncture treatments. Those same studies have shown rates of live births nearly doubled in cases where acupuncture was used, compared to IVF patients who received no acupuncture or sham acupuncture.
What makes acupuncture so effective?
The reason acupuncture can increase success rates aren’t fully understood. Ultrasounds have shown that acupuncture can improve uterine blood flow, which may create a more hospitable environment for implantation.
One thing most doctors and scientists seem to agree on is that acupuncture at the very least can have a calming effect on patients. While embroiled in the stress of fertility treatments, that improved relaxation can be crucial to overall wellness – particularly when you understand how stress hormones can inhibit fertility. If for no other reason, acupuncture can be a great relaxation technique to rely on.
Remember that acupuncture is not a guarantee that your IVF cycle will work, but it can be a natural way to improve your chances of success. If you're going through IVF come in or make an appointment with our registered Acupuncturist Jas Kandola to discuss things further.

Zoe Mundell
M.Ost, DPO, ND
Principal Osteopath
Zoë founded New Body Osteopathy in 2011 after gaining a Masters in Osteopathy at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) where she graduated with distinction, and later returned to lecture at the university in soft tissue and Osteopathic technique. Having previously worked for 15 years as a successful Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Sports Therapist Zoë’s own involvement in sports and exercise has created a natural desire to optimize health, nutrition and fitness. Zoë is very experienced in treating sports injuries of all kinds and has worked with many elite athletes and sports persons. She successfully treats those with existing injuries as well as those wishing to prevent future strain, stiffness or injury by putting in place exercises and behaviours to correct poor posture and faulty movement patterns. Treatment may also include medical acupuncture, sports taping and even working with Sports Medicine Doctors and Surgeons. More recently her interest has shifted towards pre-and-post-partum care and paediatrics. This has resulted in her post graduate training at the Osteopathic Centre for Children. Zoë understands the physical strains placed upon mother and baby during pregnancy and child birth and most importantly she knows how to help women enjoy a pain free, relaxed pregnancy. Zoë uses a variety of osteopathic techniques to treat women and babies, including cranial osteopathy.

Gareth Degg
M.Ost, BA (Hons)
Osteopath
"As an osteopath, I specialise in optimising movement and performance. My focus is to keep patients at their best for whatever they do in life."
Gareth achieved his Masters in Osteopathy from the British School of Osteopathy in 2013 and followed this by undertaking the world-renowned Applied Functional Science (AFS) mentorship program (GIFT) at the Gray Institute in Michigan, USA. This course not only widened his understanding of how the body functions and moves in the “real world” but he feels it is a fantastic compliment to both his osteopathic skills and osteopathic thinking.
Throughout his career to date Gareth has had a heavy involvement in both amateur and professional sport, which has centered mainly around Athletics but has also included individual work with professional Football, Rugby and Basketball. His personal highlights include being Team Osteopath at the following events:
- 2015 IAAF World Youth Athletics Championships - Cali, Colombia
- 2017 European Athletics U20 Championships - Grosseto, Italy
- 2019 European Athletics U23 Championships - Gavle, Sweden
He spent 7 years as a “Trackside Therapist” within Athletics groups where he was present at training sessions, training camps and at competitions to help maximise athletic performance as best possible. During this time he not only got to travel to many parts of the world and cover many IAAF Diamond League meets but he also developed a key understanding around running and sports injuries with ways to both manage and resolve them.
It is probably no surprise that Gareth himself comes from a very sporty background, having played basketball throughout his youth up until his late 20’s. His passion for health and fitness is what led him on the path to Osteopathy. In general practice Gareth has experience of treating patients from a range of ages and complaints, from the young to the not-so young and from the highly active to the office worker and all in-between. He feels his strengths lie in his ability to look at a problem from a global perspective and seek the root cause and not rushing to make a hasty diagnosis.

Esther will also prescribe appropriate home care exercises to help you extend the effects of your treatment. Taking a holistic approach to treatment and noting how dysfunction in one area of the body may cause pain in another area, she aims to develop a treatment and management plan tailored to your individual requirements.
Also trained in ScarWork, a usually painless technique which gains excellent results both cosmetically and functionally with reduced pain. Esther uses this specialised technique on post operative scars including caesarian/hysterectomy/knee/ shoulder and breast surgey scars.Old and new scars both respond well to this type of treatment.
Esther’s early sporting life was spent in BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) where she became the second woman in the UK to be promoted to rank of black belt. She also has experience in Judo, wrestling, powerlifting, weightlifting and climbing. She understands your drive to perform at your best and will help you get there.
