Central London Musculoskeletal Specialist and Osteopath.

Matthew
MOST, BSC(HONS), MSCCO

Matthew is a Cranial, Paediatric & Structural Osteopath & Pilates Instructor.

Matthew is a dynamic Osteopath who delivers bespoke treatments focused on helping you feel better and empowering you to proactively manage your own symptoms. Growing up, Matthew experienced pains at which point he saw an Osteopath. He found the Osteopathic treatment to be very effective and loved the holistic narrative behind the treatment. The hands on treatment was extremely effective and gave him a thirst to learn more!

However, it wasn’t until his late twenties when he decided to change career paths and retrain as an Osteopath, that his passion for helping others emerged.

Osteopathy Marylebone

His Osteopathic approach focuses on identifying the patient’s functional and training issues which could have contributed to injury. Matthew questions your barriers to recovery and how healing times could be improved. He uses a range of hands-on techniques including muscular stretching, joint articulation and manipulation (only when appropriate and always with consent).

Cranial Osteopathy is a relaxing treatment that uses a subtle hands-on approach that can bring profound results. It works on the principles that gentle manipulation of your joints and tissues can promote overall well-being. Your body can hold physical and emotional trauma in your tissues and cranial sessions can help ease tensions. I am constantly amazed by the body and its healing ability and how small changes can have such a deep impact.

Paediatric Osteopathy is a relaxing treatment experience which can help with unsettled babies, feeding & sleeping issues and digestive problems. During treatment, some babies start to relax and sometimes even fall asleep.

Pilates Marylebone

As a Pilates Instructor, Matthew believes Pilates align well with the osteopathic narrative to increase postural awareness. Involving exercise rehab with meaningful movements is all important to stay well. The rehabilitation Pilates sessions work well for patients recovering from injuries and surgery to strengthen muscles and increase flexibility. Sessions can pro-actively prevent injuries by increasing body awareness.

  • Praise for Matthew

    “A great clinic. Clean, bright and spacious. When I booked my first appointment with Matthew, the pain was part of my daily life. After 2 osteopathic treatments, not only did I have no pain in my lower back but I’d learned a lot of things which really improved my health. Matt is an exceptional osteopath, I have had excellent treatment from him. Thank you!” - Giovanni

  • Praise for Matthew

    “As soon as I met Matthew I felt like I was in safe hands. I was experiencing ankle, knee, hip and lower back pains. He instantly diagnosed the problem in language that immediately made sense to me and then got to work. He used a mixture of hands on Osteopathy and Cranial Osteopathy and gave me rehab homework exercises which have made a massive difference. I’m now a regular Pilates goer at Wellthy Clinic and have returned to training (running) which is not only going well but better than before!” - Paul

    “From barely being able to bend and touch my shins to now being able to put my palms on the floor, my flexibility has greatly improved. I am stronger all over, and that has helped me reduce the load on my lower back. I haven't had any issues since with my back since I started with Matt - and that speaks volumes. Matt is an expert, and it is a gift to be able to do pilates with an instructor who understands anatomy at an academic level. It will change your life.” - Sarah

The classes are fun and welcoming and Matt ensures everyone works at a level best for them. My overall well-being has improved since practising Pilates and I highly recommend Wellthy Clinic!” - Karli

    “Matt’s Pilates classes are really enjoyable. They are well balanced and varied. Matthew manages to add new exercises on a regular basis just as your body is getting used to the existing routines. This keeps the routines varied and continually challenging. I really like the fact that the exercises flow from one to another during the session. As a result, we work for the full time! The groups are really friendly and Matt keeps everything flowing and makes sure that everyone knows what they are doing.” - Anita

    “I don’t usually write reviews but after receiving treatment for my neck from Matthew, I felt I had to. From the moment I met him I felt in safe hands. He was really attentive, asked me about my history, symptoms and assessed my mobility. He then went on to give me treatment and it immediately relieved all the aches and pains in my neck and he taught me some useful stretches and exercises. The quality of treatment is the best I’ve had.” - Gregory
