I’m Chris Blackburne, an experienced Osteopath, and Functional medicine practitioner based in London and Surrey.

 

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

As an Osteopath, I’m here to help you feel better by diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal pain and injuries. I use a variety of hands-on techniques, such as soft tissue massage, joint articulation, spinal adjustments, low-level light therapy, dry needling, and gentle cranial work, to suit your unique needs.

By combining these techniques with personalised exercise plans - focusing on balance, strength, and movement control. I aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance posture and overall function.

In addition to my osteopathic practice, I have training in Functional Medicine, which looks at the bigger picture of your health. Scientific evidence shows that both internal factors (like hormonal imbalances, immune issues, or chronic infections) and external factors (like air quality, diet, stress, and sleep) can significantly impact your well-being. By identifying and addressing these root causes early, I can help you prevent or manage health challenges with tailored diet and lifestyle changes.

My approach is holistic and collaborative. I work closely with private GPs, orthopedic surgeons, and podiatrists to provide integrated care, combining both conventional and alternative methods. Together, we’ll address your physical body with osteopathy and tackle underlying imbalances with a personalised plan, helping you move toward better health and well-being.

ANTIONIA
"Chris Blackburne is a superb specialist, who finds a personal approach to each case. I met Chris during a very intensive and stressful period of my career, when cancellation or postponement of concerts were not a possible option for me. He managed to improve my physical state after only one session and I was able to continue doing what I love the most. I highly recommend to everyone the experience of an Osteopathy session with Chris for your wellbeing."

GILL
"Well what can I say. After seeing Chris and explaining that I have suffered with numbness in my leg and feet for years and also after undergoing a Nerve Conduction Study, Chris worked on my lower back, I cannot believe the difference already it has made. I believe he is my miracle worker and I am positive he will eventually sort my numbness once and for all. It is so nice to feel my numbness has decreased dramatically. He is worth his weight in gold. Thank you Chris. You are truly amazing and I strongly recommend you."

SARAH
"Chris has been my trusted osteopath for many years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His profound knowledge and deep understanding of osteopathy have made a significant difference in my health and well-being. Chris has an incredible ability to assess and address the root causes of issues, rather than just treating the symptoms. His holistic approach ensures that all aspects of my health are considered. I always leave his sessions feeling balanced, supported, and confident in the care I'm receiving. Chris's commitment to his patients and his dedication to healing truly set him apart in his field."

STEPHEN
"Excellent Osteopath, always resolves any problems in a professional manner. Highly recommended."

CHRISTINE
"Thank you so much you were brilliant. You gave me back my life."

CHARLIE
"Great practitioner. Big picture approach and holistic in philosophy. Would go back to him though with his care I might not need to."
