ABOUT SMC OSTEOPATHY
Osteopath in Dover Providing Personalised, Hands-On Treatment
Sam is a qualified osteopath in Dover specialising in the assessment and treatment of back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint problems, sciatica, sports injuries, and movement-related pain.
At SMC Osteopathy, treatment is built around how your body moves. Every appointment begins with a clear, hands-on assessment to identify the underlying cause of pain or restriction, not just the symptoms.
Sam uses an evidence-based osteopathic approach to improve mobility, reduce pain, and support long-term recovery. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual and may include manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and practical movement advice you can apply outside the clinic.
Whether you’re dealing with ongoing pain, recurring headaches, a recent injury, or stiffness that’s limiting daily life, Sam focuses on clear diagnosis, targeted treatment, and measurable improvement — without rushed appointments or generic protocols.
