GOsC-Registered · Blackpool, Fylde Coast & Lancaster

Back pain, sciatica, or something you're not sure about. We'll look at the whole picture.

Most pain has more going on than the site where it hurts. We assess the full clinical picture, explain what we find, and treat accordingly. In practice since 1999.

No referral needed. No sign-up to treatment blocks. David Feherty and Reece Jones are GOsC-registered osteopaths serving Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and Lancaster. New patients often seen within the same week.

Patient story

You've already waited long enough

"After just five sessions of osteopathy, I'm completely pain-free. I've not taken a single painkiller since the first session. I can drive. I can lift. My wife and I recently spent four days in London, walking over 17,000 steps a day, dancing at a concert. That would've been unthinkable just weeks earlier."

★★★★★

"Been for a couple of sessions with Reece. I have been struggling with a bad back and hip to the point of being off work. After just 2 sessions we have made massive progress returning movement and range of motion, reducing pain and inflammation. Back to training and getting better day by day. I can't recommend them enough."

Our approach

Why we treat differently

Most clinics will tell you what they treat and who they are. We think the more important question is why we approach the body the way we do.

Our practice is built on the founding principles of Andrew Taylor Still, the Civil War surgeon who established osteopathy in 1874 on a simple but radical idea: that the body is a complete, integrated unit, and that restoring structure restores function. A runner's hip problem may be connected to their breathing pattern. Back pain may originate far from the back. That is not abstract philosophy, it shapes every clinical decision we make.

No competitor in Blackpool or across the Fylde Coast practises from a publicly articulated clinical philosophy. We do. And we think our patients deserve to know why.

The body is a unit

Structure governs function

The body heals itself

Treatment follows these principles
