What Do Clients Say?
If your back pain keeps coming back, itâs not because youâre broken.
Iâve Been Where You Are
Most peoplewith recurring back pain arenât lacking motivation or toughness. Youâve just been given short-term fixes – stretches, adjustments, or advice that doesnât stick. My approach differs as I’ve been through my own back pain journey and have developed proven long term systems that consistantly rebuild peoples backs.
Without a clear plan to rebuild strength, movement, and confidence in your body, the pain fades as you rest and take it easy⊠then comes back again when you try to move like you used to. Each time, trust in the body drops a little more and you might find yourself resigning to “thats just the way life is” or “This is what getting old feels like”.
To rebuild a back you need systems, progressions and standards and this is what I provide.
This work is for people that are tired of guessing – and ready to rebuild, thoroughly.
Tired of your back pain settling down⊠only to come back again?
Back pain can make ordinary movement feel uncertain.
You may have tried rest, stretching, massage, adjustments or exercises from YouTube. Things improve for a while – but when you return to lifting, sport, work or normal life, the pain starts creeping back.
Over time, it can become difficult to know what is safe.
Should you stretch it? Rest it? Strengthen it? Avoid bending? Stop training?
At Oak Osteopathy, the goal is to remove that guesswork.
We start where you are now, help you understand what is happening, restore comfortable movement, and gradually rebuild the strength and confidence you need to trust your back again.
Learn To Look After Your Back
01 – Understand
Listen to the history, understand what you’re afraid of or avoiding, assess movement and give you a clear explanation.
02 – Restore Movement
Gradually reclaim bending, extending, rotating, hip movement etc., without forcing painful movement.
03 – Build Strength
Progress range, control and resistance until the movements of normal life feel dependable again.
04 – Become Independent
Teach the person how to manage flare-ups, train, strengthen and look after their own back without becoming dependent on appointments.
A clear system to rebuild your back – not endless appointments
I use a coaching-led approach that combines hands-on osteopathy (in clinic) with strength training, movement work, and targeted mobility – so you get a plan you can actually follow.
Coaching-led plan
Clear steps, progressions, and accountability – so you know exactly what to do between sessions.
Osteopathy (in-clinic)
Hands-on assessment and treatment when needed – to reduce irritation and restore movement.
Strength training

This is for you if:
Your back pain keeps returning, even after treatment.
You want a proven system from a coach that has tonnes of results.
Youâre ready to rebuild confidence in your body again.

I started visiting Oak Osteopathy because of a recurring lower back pain that was really affecting my quality of life. Working with Luke has made a huge difference. Not only did he help me strengthen my back, but my whole body feels stronger and more mobile thanks to his guidance.
Lukeâs knowledge is incredible; he introduced me to new exercises that Iâve now added to my gym routine, and theyâve made such a positive impact. On top of that, heâs genuinely one of the most down-to-earth person youâll meet. Itâs easy to chat with him about anything, which makes every session enjoyable.
I couldnât recommend Luke highly enough. If youâre dealing with pain or just want to improve your overall movement and wellbeing, heâs definitely the person to go to.
What can I say the man is a genius, I literally couldnât walk when i first went to Luke.
The pain was very bad and even after the first session I had relief, I was thinking I would be months in recovery but he had me upright and back working in no time. Canât recommend him enough.
Very pleasant and very professional. Pain was a 10 when I went first and now I am lifting weights with no pain. Best in the business.
I went to Luke back at the end of 2024 with extreme lower back pain and ridiculous lack of mobility in that region.
I did a course of back rehabilitation sessions with Luke over the last few months and it has transformed my life. I was taught how to manage myself in the gym and strengthen the weak areas along with building mobility at the same time.
Itâs been absolutely game changing to say the very least. Luke is an absolute gent to top it off and i thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. đȘđȘđȘ

A structured coaching programme you can follow from anywhere â with guidance, progression, and accountability.

I live it
Most back pain advice is given by people who donât train, donât load, and donât understand what it feels like to rebuild a body over time.
Iâm a strength & conditioning coach, a yoga teacher, and an osteopath in clinic. Everything I teach is rooted in real movement – strength, control, mobility, and resilience.
The goal isnât âpain-free.â Itâs capable.
