EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on TamaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an appointment with Serena to discuss my chronic lower back pain. Throughout the entire session Serena made sure I was comfortable, especially during treatment, and she actively listened to all of my concerns and worries. She uses a very holistic approach and tailors your treatment plan to suit your lifestyle. I would highly recommend her practice as she is extremely knowledgable and will provide you a very positive experience! Thank you so much Serena!Posted on Jamie SpurlingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Serena for all you did today and the advice you gave, very professional and helpful.Posted on Alaia PinedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Serena fue muy amable y nos atendió de urgencia por un dolor en la escápula. Me ayudó con el dolor, me dio ejercicios y fue muy cercana! Todo un placerPosted on Bernadette StanbridgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks so much Serena. You helped me so much today. Such a professional service and such an in depth consultation. So friendly and I've left with so much less back pain and great advice. See you again soon :-) highly reccommend a visit. Thanks again 😀Posted on goxetheeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first appointment with Serena today for limited mobility and pain in my neck. I'd been to an osteopath before, years ago, and was expecting a load of cracking and crunching and discomfort but Serena had a very sensitive approach and after one session of massage and gentle manipulation the range of movement in my neck is already vastly improved. Serena also showed me some stretches to reduce stresses and improve my neck mobility and made sure I was doing them correctly. She also sent me an email with YouTube links to videos demonstrating the stretches so that I could continue doing them correctly at home. I will definitely be going back for regular maintenance and will be recommending Serena at Lind Street Osteopathy to everybody.Posted on miranda schipperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend. Very detailed assessment and aftercare and fantastic treatment!Posted on NinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've recently seen Serena for my first appointment, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Already my neck pain has cleared and the tension drastically reduced. I'm beginning to build muscles with the gentle exercises and learning more about hypermobility which Serena confirmed in relation to a condition I may be suffering. I was in a bad way with pain, having been worried to seek treatment due to health conditions that make me highly reactive and fatigued. Serena has been incredible, working within my limits, so patient with my unpredictable condition, and has great all round knowledge. I look forward to further treatments to really get on top of my back and neck pain and continue to improve my mobility and strength.Posted on Nicole BurrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Serena for sorting out my neck and headaches. I'm completely pain free in those areas.Posted on Barbara SargentTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Serena with a painful shoulder that has been troubling me for 2 years. I have had 3 treatments with her & it has been amazing how the pain has completely gone. I can't thank her enough for her diagnosis & treatment. She has patiently explained to me every step of the treatment & exercises to do. She has been thorough in every way. I have no hesitation in recommending her & will certainly return should I have any other pain issues. Thank you Serena.
Starting Lind Street Osteopathy has been a dream built on years of study, curiosity, and a genuine desire to help people feel more at home in their bodies.
I believe in making healthcare personal. That means taking time to listen, understanding what really matters to you, and working together on a plan that fits your life, not a generic treatment protocol.
I have a particular interest in chronic pain, women’s health, and pain education, and I bring that depth of knowledge to every appointment, whatever brings you through the door.
Whether you’re navigating a long-term condition or dealing with a recent injury, I’m here to help reduce pain, restore movement, and help you feel more confident in your body again.

I’ve had a great experience with Serena. She takes the time to really listen and understand what’s going on, and she explains everything clearly so I always feel informed and reassured. The treatment she suggested has been genuinely helpful, and after each session I’ve left feeling better and more optimistic about my back pain. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective osteopath.
Serena has been amazing in helping me manage my lower back pain. She’s very knowledgeable, and she explained everything in a way that really put me at ease. I always feel listened to and supported during each session. Thanks to her, my back is feeling so much better, and I feel more confident about my recovery. I highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for a skilled and caring osteopath.
I cannot recommend Serena enough! I came in with neck pain that was making daily life tough, and she's been absolutely fantastic. She takes the time to actually listen and explained exactly what was going on with my neck. Her treatments are gentle but incredibly effective and I felt significant relief right after the first appointment. I have so much more mobility now and am pretty much pain-free. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
