Who are we

Solihull Osteopathic Practice started in 2006, originally as Jeremy James & Associates, before evolving into the current Solihull Osteopathic Practice. The practice's team of osteopaths include Jeremy James, Stephanie Lees, Joe Marshall and Francesco Capua who are committed to help relieve pain and improve the quality of life for their patients. At Solihull Osteopathic Practice we aim to offer quality, professional and dedicated support to address individual concerns to help people achieve optimal health. Using a range of osteopathic techniques and a holistic approach to wellbeing, we strive to provide the best suited treatment for each patient's needs and offer advice in a friendly and safe environment. As a member of the Institute of Osteopathy and registered members of the General Osteopathic Council, our professional, skilled osteopaths show a continual commitment towards advancing their knowledge in the field and improving patient experiences. We consistently strive to improve on our excellent standards of osteopathic care. We work together as a team to create an environment of trust throughout the entire patient experience. We are passionate about our work and enable our patients to have a positive experience of working towards recovery. What We Do Osteopaths are primary health care practitioners, complementary to other medical practices including chiropractic and physiotherapy, and while there is some overlap osteopaths generally have a holistic approach and we also consider relevant social and psychological factors. We treat the whole person and not just the area where symptoms are felt. This is because our experience tells us that often the cause of pain is another area or part of the body. Osteopathy is based on the philosophy that your body functions more efficiently when it's in alignment. Osteopaths have a highly developed sense of touch and we use our hands both to identify the source of pain and - with a variety of techniques - to manipulate, massage or stretch the affected area to help relieve pain, improve mobility or reduce swelling. The techniques are not painful and osteopathy is safe for all ages, including babies. Patients sometimes report a clicking or popping noise when manipulation is used, this is simply the sound of small gas bubbles popping within the joints. It doesn't hurt.
