Two very different practitioners. Call us if you'd like help deciding — we're happy to point you in the right direction.

Toby Foulkes - Registered Osteopath

Toby Foulkes

Registered Osteopath · B.Ost(Hons) · GOsC
Best for:
Back, neck and pelvic pain, headaches, sports injuries, postpartum recovery, and women's health.
Toby also works as a personal trainer, which shapes how he thinks about the body and recovery. He tends to get to the point quickly — finding out what is actually causing the problem rather than just treating the symptom. Patients often say they leave his appointments with a clearer understanding of what is going on.
"Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He doesn't baffle you with science." — Sarah S.

Maria Withell-Goldsack

Registered Osteopath · B.Ost(Hons) · GOsC
Best for:
Cranial osteopathy, women's health, paediatric care, and patients who find hands-on treatment daunting.
Maria has a calm, unhurried way of working and takes time to understand what is going on before she treats. She sees patients of all ages — including newborns — and her gentle approach makes her particularly well suited to those who are nervous about treatment or need a lighter touch.
"Very professional, calm and easy to talk to. Will definitely recommend and return." — Claire B.

Conditions we treat

No two patients are the same. The techniques used in a session will depend on your condition, your age, and what your body responds to.
Musculoskeletal pain
Back and neck pain, sciatica, joint problems, sports injuries, headaches, and arthritis. Including both acute injuries and longer-standing conditions.
Women's health
Pregnancy-related discomfort, pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, and menopausal symptoms. Both practitioners have experience supporting women at different life stages.
Cranial & paediatric care
Maria specialises in cranial osteopathy and sees patients of all ages, including newborns and children. Cranial work is also effective for headaches, stress, and sleep problems in adults.
Long-term conditions
Disc problems, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory conditions, where osteopathy can help manage symptoms and improve day-to-day function.

What to expect

Your first appointment includes a full health history, physical examination, diagnosis, and treatment. We'll also discuss your treatment plan and give advice on exercises or lifestyle changes that may help.
Techniques vary depending on your condition and what suits you — from hands-on structural work and joint mobilisation to gentle cranial techniques and exercise prescription.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing such as shorts and a t-shirt. You won't need to fully undress, but your osteopath may ask you to remove outer layers to assess your movement properly.

Osteopathy effectively treats back and neck pain, headaches, joint problems, sports injuries, arthritis, sciatica, pregnancy-related discomfort, and many other musculoskeletal conditions.
Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, using manual techniques to treat the cause of problems. Physiotherapy often focuses more on exercises and rehabilitation. Both can be complementary and many of our patients use both.
Osteopathic treatment is generally gentle and should not be painful. You may feel some mild discomfort during treatment, but this should subside quickly. We always work within your comfort level.
Yes. Both Toby and Maria hold a Bachelor's degree in Osteopathy and are registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), the UK's statutory regulatory body for osteopaths.
This varies depending on your condition and how long you've had it. Acute problems may resolve in 2–4 sessions, while chronic conditions might need more. We'll discuss this honestly during your initial consultation.
Cranial osteopathy uses very gentle techniques to work with the skull, spine, and pelvis. It's particularly effective for headaches, stress, and sleep problems, and is suitable for all ages — including babies and newborns. Maria specialises in this approach.
Yes. Osteopathy is safe during pregnancy when performed by qualified practitioners. We use gentle techniques adapted for pregnant women to help with back pain, pelvic discomfort, and other pregnancy-related issues.
Yes. Many of our patients see more than one practitioner at the clinic, combining osteopathy with massage, physiotherapy, or acupuncture. Our practitioners are aware of each other's work and can coordinate where it's helpful.
