What our clients in Norwich have to say
Tracy De Sousa03/12/2023Chris was so very helpful in sorting out my back for me always making me feel at ease with all aspects of his treatment! He would come highly recommended and I will definitely be recommending him to all family and friends 😊
Kenneth Betts12/11/2023After struggling many weeks with muscular pain and being unable to sit, I decided to visit Chris's practice. After only one visit to him, I'm relieved to say I'm now pain free. I recommend Chris highly.
Timothy Shelley03/11/2023My wife has recently had a couple of sessions with Chris Greenslade. She found him to be extremely professional, considerate and caring. Besides the hands on treatment for her head, neck and shoulder problems he also gave her advice and several exercises to carry out at home. She will not hesitate to return for further treatment if necessary, in the future.
Victoria Briggs02/11/2023Great service from Chris. He was able to quickly diagnose what was causing my back issues, and delivered very effective treatments. He also recommended some exercises to continue to keep the area mobile. I would definitely recommend him.
Elliot Wibberley01/11/2023Chris has a high level of expertise and knowledge . My back was chronic and within one session I was relieved to be more mobile . I highly recommend this service which I believe is good value for money

Nicola Durrant04/10/2023Chris was great at sorting out my back. Was very professional making me feel welcome, comfortable and at ease. Would highly recommend him.
Liam Thurston30/09/2023Chris helped me with three minor injuries. Very informative and professional. He provided me with exercises and allowed enough time between sessions for them to work. I would recommend his service.
Steve Leese23/09/2023Great service, have used Apollo a few times now over the last few years for a recurring back problem. Unfortunately this time had to wait a couple of days for an appointment, however once there Chris sorted out my back problem, booked a follow up for a week later and probably didn't really need it to be honest, but was good to have the additional treatment just to ensure it was fixed! Thanks Chris
Deborah Broughton09/09/2023I made an appointment with Chris as I was unable to walk because of hip/lower back pain. Chris was knowledgeable and professional. The treatment he gave me was effective and after two appointments I am pain free. He also gave me some simple exercises to prevent recurrence. I would recommend Chris without hesitation.
Frequently asked questions
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for any and all musculoskeletal injuries. Osteopaths utilise a combination of manual techniques, exercise prescription and other clinical adjuncts, such as acupuncture, ultrasound and taping; to both remove you from injury and maintain good physical well-being. This approach is derived around fundamental knowledge on how the body works from a mechanical, physiological and psychological perspective.
All three of these professions strive to reach the same outcome, removing you from pain and improving your physical functioning, however; how they get there is often quite different. Due to the principal beliefs of each profession what you will notice is that the type of techniques, length of treatment and session frequency will change. Osteopaths work with a very broad brush in terms of treatment which is entirely personalised to your presentation and endeavour to have you up and out of regular treatment as soon as possible.
In short the answer is it depends on many different factors such as how long you’ve had the pain, whether it is degenerative in nature, how well your body responds to treatment and how the pain started in the first place. Whilst some people may get better after one session, it may take others longer and we won’t know that until we start treating. At ARP our focus is getting you pain-free and at optimal functioning as soon as we can so we will produce an in-depth plan and timeline at the first session to give you an idea right away.
The treatment techniques used themselves aren’t painful when done properly however, as we are working with tight and injured tissues, can often be uncomfortable. It is also not uncommon to feel some increased tension and stiffness for a number of hours after the treatment. This is due to the pro-inflammatory effects of manual therapy and are a necessary part of the healing process.
Becoming an Osteopath entails a 4-year master’s qualification and 1000 hours of clinical supervised practice. Upon completion of the above then potential candidates have to sit a final clinical competency exam before being offered the opportunity to join the register of Osteopaths. Once qualified, Osteopaths are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council and must complete a further 90 hours of continued professional development across several different topic areas.
