what our patients say…
Very relaxing and tranquil environment. Most enjoyable and calming. Tamsyn is very knowledgeable, efficient and welcoming 🙏 Already booked in for follow up appointment. Highly recommend Folkestone Osteopathy!

This service was my first encounter with osteopathy. After trying many branches of massage therapy, I can tell that this is less painful and as much (if not more) effective than most massage therapies. I went there with an injured Achilles tendon and an “office-neck/shoulder”, and started to feel much better after the first session. Tamsyn also taught me easy and useful home exercises to ease muscle tension and strengthen muscle groups so that my joints could get some extra support in the long run. On top of that, Folkestone Osteopathy has a calming atmosphere, Tamsyn is really friendly and welcoming, and seems to be prepared to fix whatever sores, aches, bad postural habits I'm coming with. The therapy room is always squeaky clean. Lots of brownie points go for the whole experience!

What Is Cranial Osteopathy (& Does It Work?)
It’s gentle, non-invasive, and often used with babies – but cranial osteopathy is powerful for adults too. By working with the nervous system, it helps release deeply held tension and supports the body’s natural rhythm of healing.
Why Osteopathy Isn’t Just for Back Pain
Most people think of osteopathy for lower back pain – and yes, we treat that daily – but it can also support everything from tension headaches and jaw pain to digestive discomfort and postural imbalances. Osteopathy looks at how your whole body works together, not just isolated symptoms.
5 Signs Your Body’s Asking for Help
Aches that come and go. Stiffness first thing in the morning. Headaches after a long day at your desk. These niggles are your body’s way of waving a red flag. Don’t ignore them – early support can make all the difference.
