Get To Know Back To Health Osteopathy And Our Osteopathic Treatment In Canterbury
When aches, stiffness or restricted movement start affecting your everyday life, finding a healthcare professional you feel comfortable with can make all the difference. At Back To Health Osteopathy, we provide personalised osteopathic treatment in Canterbury, combining face-to-face assessments, hands-on techniques and practical advice to support your health and wellbeing.
Established in 2019, our practice is built around a simple belief: everyone deserves to feel listened to, understood and supported. Whether you're visiting us for the first time or returning for ongoing support, we take the time to understand your concerns and help you make informed decisions.
The Story Behind Back To Health Osteopathy
Back To Health Osteopathy was established in 2019 with a focus on providing individualised, hands-on healthcare in a welcoming and professional environment.
Located just outside the historic city walls of Canterbury, our practice offers a calm, personal setting where patients can discuss their concerns and receive support tailored to their individual needs.
We have one large, bright consultation room, shared by our practitioners Florence and Ray, who alternate their clinic sessions. This allows us to maintain a personal approach, with each appointment centred on the person in front of us.
Since opening, our focus has remained the same: putting patients first, understanding their individual circumstances and helping them work towards better movement and everyday comfort.
Meet Florence And Ray, The People Behind Your Appointments
We believe knowing who you'll be seeing can help you feel more confident before your first visit.
Our practitioners, Florence Henrist and Ray Campbell are registered osteopaths who assess and treat a range of musculoskeletal complaints. We take an individual approach to each appointment, considering your symptoms, medical history and personal goals.
Both are registered with the General Osteopathic Council, the UK's statutory regulator for the profession.
A Bright, Welcoming Space Where You Can Feel At Ease
Visiting a new healthcare clinic can feel unfamiliar, particularly when you're unsure what might be causing your symptoms or what your appointment will involve.
Our consultation room is bright and spacious, providing a comfortable setting for assessments and treatment. As a small practice, we aim to create an environment where you feel at ease asking questions and discussing your concerns.
With Florence and Ray alternating their time in the room, our practice maintains a small, personal atmosphere rather than a busy, multi-room clinical environment.
We want you to feel comfortable asking questions, discussing your concerns and understanding the options available to you.
Why We Put Your Individual Needs First
No two people experience the same symptoms in exactly the same way. That's why we focus on understanding you as an individual rather than following a standard approach.
1
We Listen Before Making Recommendations
We'll start by discussing your symptoms, medical history and how they affect your daily life. This helps us understand what's troubling you and what you'd like to achieve from treatment.
2
We Explain What We Find
We believe you should understand your assessment findings and the options available. We aim to explain things clearly, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and make informed decisions.
3
We Combine Hands-On Support With Practical Guidance
Depending on your needs, your appointment will include hands-on techniques, postural advice, exercises or suggestions to help you manage your symptoms between visits.
4
We Keep Your Goals At The Centre
Whether you want to return to exercise, feel more comfortable at work or find everyday activities easier, we'll take your goals into account when discussing your care.
Helping You Stay Active And Comfortable In Everyday Life
We welcome patients experiencing a wide range of musculoskeletal complaints, from recent injuries and recurring stiffness to longer-term pain.
Many people seek our help when prolonged desk work causes discomfort, while others look for guidance with sports performance, joint stiffness or persistent aches that have built up over time.
Our services include osteopathy, sports massage, western acupuncture and health consultations.
We also assess people experiencing back and neck discomfort, sciatica-related symptoms, joint stiffness and mobility difficulties.
One does not suit all, we consider your individual needs, evaluate your specific circumstances and outline suitable options. If your symptoms suggest that further medical investigation or another healthcare professional would be more appropriate, we'll explain this and advise you on the next steps.

What Matters Most To Us At Back To Health Osteopathy
Our aim is to provide a professional, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected and involved in decisions concerning their health.
Three principles shape the way we work.
1
Putting People Before Procedures
We take the time to understand what matters to you. Your symptoms, preferences and personal circumstances are central to every recommendation.
2
Being Clear And Approachable
We explain our findings in straightforward language and welcome questions. We want you to feel comfortable raising any concerns before or during your appointment.
3
Supporting Your Long-Term Wellbeing
Where appropriate, we'll discuss practical ways to manage your symptoms outside the clinic, including exercises, movement and everyday habits that may support your progress.
Building Confidence Through Professional Standards And Patient Experiences
We understand that choosing a healthcare practitioner involves trust.
Osteopathy is a regulated healthcare profession in the UK. Florence and Ray are registered with the General Osteopathic Council, which sets professional standards for education, conduct and practice.
Our commitment to individual assessment, clear communication and informed decision-making helps patients understand what to expect from their appointments.
