Lucy Denby Osteopathy

Registered osteopath located in West Didsbury, South Manchester. Flexible appointments available, including some evenings and weekends. Home visits also available, by special arrangement.

I practice as an Osteopath in West Didsbury, in the heart of South Manchester. I adopt a professional approach to patient care, but also take the necessary time to become familiar with each patient’s individual lifestyle, medical history and symptoms. This facilitates safe treatment techniques that are personalised according to the patient's specific needs.

I am equipped with the skills required of a competent healthcare professional, and those expected of a Registered Osteopath. I take an interest in posture, balance and movement patterns, and how they influence muscle and joint pain. My treatment approach is relaxed and friendly, set within a peaceful and caring environment.

I treat a wide range of conditions, but because these will present differently from person to person, my aim is to develop jointly agreed, patient-centred treatment plans. I strongly believe that patients should be well informed to understand the nature and purpose of their treatments, including likely outcomes, and potential limitations, whilst receiving effective treatment relevant to their diagnosis. I strive to address patient symptoms using a combination of gentle, yet effective, soft tissue massage, articulation, stretching and Osteopathic manipulation techniques, which are tailored to suit the individual patient.

I place great emphasis on educating my patients to help them understand the nature of their condition, and in supporting them through their rehabilitation. I help patients manage their symptoms at home and reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence by providing tailored advice on lifestyle changes and exercise plans. This also helps to keep the number of visits to a minimum.

My passion for Osteopathy is driven by my desire to help people, to reduce their symptoms of pain, and to empower them to improve their wellbeing.
