Herts Osteopathy

#meettheteamtuesday So after the last few months of meet the team Tuesday, finally I introduce myself, Jo. I set up Herts Osteopathy nearly eight years ago after graduating. I had already been teaching pilates for over a decade. I am a mum of two daughters who are my life, and are bonkers, beautiful, amazing and drive me completely nuts, all in equal proportions!!!! My eldest has wanted to be an Osteopath since she could talk (and say the word "Osteopath", which is super hard...!!!). My kids play "Osteopathy", and they love that I "fix people" so I feel like already I am winning. I love that they see what I do as something so important, and hopefully I am inspiring them to follow their dreams. I literally love being an Osteopath. To me it is not a job, it is who I am. I love it, and I hope that comes across to the people I help every day, every week. I specialise in two main areas: pre and postnatal ladies, and biomechanics and gait dysfunction. And often these blend very well together. My first degree was in Sport and Exercise science, and I have qualifications with the National Academy of Sports Medicine in personal training and rehab, so this was my main emphasis initially. I have since focused primarily on women helping them through their pregnancy and postnatally to get back to exercise, to live pain free, and enjoy their pregnancy and their children without being in pain. This actually stems from biomechanical causes a lot of the time, so this is a fab way of getting to the crux of what is going on. I try and find the reason behind everything and behind everyone's pain. I try to delve deep into the true cause of pain, and won't give up until I find it! I am so lucky to have the most amazing team of ladies here at Herts Osteopathy. They have all been chosen very specifically for their talents, experience and approach to treatment, and are all absolutely lovely!! #dreamteam #hertsosteopathy #osteopathyworks #osteopathstalbans #lovemyjob #backpain #painfree #pilatesandrehab #stalbansmumsnet #stalbansmums

Well rounded, highly experienced Osteopath and Pilates Coach with tons of charisma.

Whilst pregnant I developed severe SPD and girdle pain to the extend where I could hardly walk, get in and out of bed and cars and suffered daily to do any range of movement.



Jo used her vast experience and skills to rid me of all pain during pregnancy and enable me to have the type of birth I wished for. Jo's knowledge and recommendations gave me thorough understanding of my postpartum situation and provided me the right tools and knowledge to become fit and to seek further help when I needed. Well spirited, knowledgeable, with excellent links in the community I felt that Jo's healing hands were almost miraculous. Since the birth of my baby I had a major operation and thanks to Pilates sessions with Jo, I feel totally rehabilitated, invigorated and ready to take on all the physical challenges that a new mum of two has daily.

Try Jo Day for both Osteopathy as well as Pilates and you will benefit enourmously. I highly recommend Jo's and Herts Ostheopathy services.

Was suffering from sacral pain that was not getting better. Hayley sorted the pain in 2 visits. She was friendly and professional and I am so grateful to be pain free! Would totally recommend!

The whole team are so professional and friendly. I have been attending the clinic for a variety of neck and back problems which stemmed from a car accident many years ago. My pain levels have massively reduced in the time that I have been seeing Jo and the team. They explain things in a clear and concise way so you feel informed. Great value for money and I would recommend to anyone!

Omg jo is totally brilliant had really bad SPD and sciatica pains after giving birth I clicked in places I never knew could click thank u x so much

Lovely and friendly people. I have had a few sessions now and my injury is better then it has been!! They have done a good job

Jo and her team are superb, I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation, through to the diagnosis and treatment it is worth every penny. Keep up the good work!

Jo Day is fantastic! I was suffering so much this pregnancy with SPD and really thought nothing could be done. A chance recommendation from a friend led me to Jo who made pregnancy so much less painful and I was able to say good bye to my crutches and even support belt! Can't recommend Jo highly enough.

I've been seeing Jo regularly for a while now since being pregnant with my second child and can honestly say that she is AMAZING!The back pain I had during the pregnancy had been keeping me up at night and she managed to alleviate it so I could enjoy my pregnancy again. She managed to make my hips feel comfortable and eased all the discomfort in my pelvis without causing any distress to me or the baby. Cannot recommend her enough. I had my son 8 weeks ago via c section and started seeing her again after 3 weeks to make sure the scar area was healing properly and my muscles were fusing back together. I'm now having one on one Pilates classes with her and can already feel a difference to my core. Thank you Jo!

I've been seeing Jo for my back problems for the last couple of years due to having SPD during pregnancy and lower back pain after pregnancy and honestly she's the only one that actually makes a difference to my pain after seeing other specialists. She's very thorough and I'm always really pleased with the results afterwards. Would highly recommend

I started seeing Jo 3 weeks ago after suffering with SPD in my second pregnancy. I could hardly walk and was in tears but she has changed everything around for me. I was dreading birth but am now excited for it again as I am pain free. I will keep seeing Jo for the remainder of my pregnancy and post birth. I can not rate her highly enough she is an amazing osteopath and lovely lady. Thanks Jo �

I really can't recommend Jo highly enough! I suffered badly with SPD during my first pregnancy so when the pain started again at 14 weeks during my second pregnancy, I braced myself for another miserable time...



During our first session Jo identified the root cause of my problem (hyper mobility), something no other physio or osteo had done, and gave me some exercises to help strengthen the supporting areas. I felt the benefits of her treatment within 24 hrs! I continued to see Jo throughout my third trimester and was genuinely amazed and so grateful to make it to labour mobile and practically pain free. I've seen Jo for general maintenance since giving birth and she's also helped alleviate tightness in my baby girls neck and pelvis too. A fantastic osteopath!

I have started Jo’s classes just after Easter, i feel so much stronger already. She always explain really well what you are doing and is excellent at correcting your posture during the classes (which made me realise most of the exercises I was doing were wrong).

Highly recommend her classes!

I cannot recommend Jo more. An exceptional osteo who is so intuitive and brilliant at finding out what the issue is. I could not have done without her during my pregnancy when I kept popping ribs and still see her for general maintenance as she keeps my body in check! Genuinely the best osteo around.

Herts Osteopathy have successfully adressed my pregnancy aches and pains.

They have been very supportive and made useful recommendations.

It’s reassuring to know I have somewhere to go where I know that I will receive the best treatment.

Both Jo and Hayley at Herts Osteopathy have worked wonders on my ribs that I managed to partially dislocate (Something that I didn’t even know was possible but turns out is extremely painful!)

They are amazingly talented, really know their stuff and are such friendly people you’ll immediately be at ease (and in my case pain free). Highly recommended.

An amazing clinic, my husband could hardly stand up straight or sit down when he went in, he walked out upright, and this was after Jo managed to sort out my lock jaw which all my doctor could recommend was to not eat crusty rolls or apples lol! I highly recommend Jo and her team.

After twisting my pelvis and suffering spasm in my lower back, quite a few St Albans mums recommended I contact Jo. It's not an under statement to say she's an absolute miracle worker! She instantly pinpointed the pain and worked her magic to ease it considerably. She knew things that had happened in my past (twisting my ankle at uni 20 years ago!) by feeling various areas on my back and looking at my body position when I performed certain exercises. After a few sessions, I am completely cured and back to enjoying my hiit classes and running - at the time, I thought running was over forever. Every session I took my two-year-old daughter with me and she was completely at ease with Jo and the various toys Jo has in her treatment room. I don't usually say things like this lightly, but I honestly can't recommend Jo enough. She has helped me no end and always has a beaming smile on her face!

After suffering from upper back pain and pains into my arms/wrist I had the most amazing treatment from the lovely Jo Day at Herts Osteopathy. She’s worked wonders to my broken body I feel like a new woman. It will be my regular treat to myself. Show yourselves some love and get yourselves booked in!

After having my second baby in August 2015 I was experiencing terrible back pain from bending and lifting the kids - and I'm a fit and healthy PT! Jo sorted me out within a few sessions and now I go and see her just for an MOT every few months. It feels so good! Thanks Jo and team! X
