General Questions

Osteopathy is a healthcare approach that focuses on how our body’s structure affects our overall health. It believes that misalignment in the musculoskeletal system can lead to pain and other health issues.

Osteopaths treat various conditions, not just low back pain. They use manual therapy techniques, including touch, massage, stretching, and joint manipulation. 


At Evolution Rehab, we combine osteopathic principles with the latest research in pain science and rehabilitation, helping you become stronger and more resilient.

Our clinic provides a wide range of treatments, including:

  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Back and neck pain
  • Sciatica and trapped nerves
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Muscle tension
  • Tendon injuries
  • Post-surgery rehabilitation
  • Digestive problems
  • Weight loss management
  • Sleep and insomnia issues
  • Chronic pain and more.
  • Your first visit will last about an hour. We’ll take a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination.
  • This helps us diagnose your condition and identify the root cause of your pain. We aim not just to relieve your pain but also to prevent it from returning.
  • After the consultation, we’ll discuss the best treatment options for you, which may include osteopathy, functional medicine, or chronic pain management.
  • Sessions generally last between 30 to 60 minutes, with 60 minutes being the standard for your first appointment.
  • During your initial visit, we’ll discuss how often you should come in based on your condition and personal goals, making it practical for your recovery and budget.

Functional Medicine & Pain Management

  • Functional medicine is a patient-centred, science-based, holistic and collaborative approach to treating and managing chronic disease. It’s based on the idea that the body is a whole system, and that health issues are caused by imbalances in that system.
  • The foundation of functional medicine is the use of food as a first-line therapy. In conjunction with providing you the right nutrition, we will combine various lifestyle and behaviour interventions to help you positively transform your health. These will include lifestyle recommendations to help improve the quality of your sleep, reduce the effect of stress on your body, eduction in how to manageably fit movement and exercise recommendations into your life and more!
  • For more information, CLICK HERE for our page on Functional Medicine.
  • It’s tough to say exactly how many sessions you’ll need, as it varies by individual.

Here’s a rough guide:

      • Osteopathy: 3-12 sessions
      • Functional Medicine: 3-12 sessions
      • Chronic Pain Management: 4-12 sessions.
  •  Sessions are usually spaced 1-4 weeks apart, depending on your needs.
  • At Evolution Rehab, we focus on a holistic, evidence-based method to help you heal from chronic pain.
  • We use various treatments, including self-care, nutritional therapy, and movement rehabilitation, to support your recovery.
  • We emphasise key areas: EAT, SLEEP, MOVE, RELAX, and LEARN. Join our mailing list for a free download on the “3 Steps to Pain Free” to learn more!
  • What you eat can significantly impact your healing process. Research shows that a healthy diet can help reduce pain.
  • Anti-inflammatory diets, like the Mediterranean diet, have been clinically proven to ease chronic pain.
  • Our therapists can guide you in finding the right dietary approach for your needs and help you implement it effectively.
  • Sleep quality and chronic pain are closely linked.
  • Poor sleep can increase pain perception.
  • Improving your sleep can help reduce pain.
  • Our therapists provide guidance on exercises, sleep hygiene, sleep behavioural therapy and nutrition to enhance your sleep quality.

We offer three main types of movement rehabilitation:

  • Self-Care Exercises: Help you manage pain and regain control during recovery.
  • Nervous System Desensitisation Exercises: These are a range of specialised exercises to help improve the accuracy of the prediction and judgement system of the brain. Improving this system will result in desensitising the Pain Protection System within the brain.
  • Strength and Conditioning Exercises: Build resilience and strength in your body to handle daily activities and sports.
  • The parasympathetic nervous system helps your body relax and heal, while the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for stress responses.
  • When stress is high, pain sensitivity can increase. Learning to activate your parasympathetic system can help calm pain.
  • At Evolution Rehab, we teach you techniques to stimulate this system and manage pain effectively.
  • The Functional medicine approach is at the heart of how we treat pain. It is through this approach that that our therapists at Evolution Rehab guide you through the process in which you EAT, SLEEP, MOVE, RELAX and LEARN your way out of chronic pain.
  • Sometimes, the underlying causes for your pain may be more complex and involved.
    And this is when the various functional medicine blood chemistry, hormone and digestive function tests may help us to identify key underlying issues that may be maintaining your pain levels.
  • Understanding pain science can significantly reduce long-term pain. We provide educational materials, discussions, and videos to help you learn.
  • Making sense of your pain in the context of your life is crucial for healing. We help you understand the factors that affect your pain and how to navigate your recovery journey.

I've been seeing Raymond over the past few months to help with lower back pain caused by carrying my newborn. Raymond is fantastic—his treatments are highly effective, and the exercises he taught me are simple yet impactful. He is professional, thoughtful and made me feel confident that I was in the hands of an experienced expert. The progress in my back has been remarkable, and I'm grateful! I highly recommend Raymond and will definitely return if needed.

I can't recommend Ray highly enough.
Over just three months, he helped my mother achieve a dramatic improvement in her mobility and quality of life. Before seeing Ray, she struggled to walk for short periods of time.
Thanks to his expertise and care, she's now able to walk comfortably, with visible and lasting improvements.
The difference has been nothing short of remarkable. It’s like night and day.
Ray’s thoughtful, professional approach made all the difference, and the results have exceeded all expectations.
We're absolutely delighted with the outcome and deeply grateful for everything he has done.
If you're looking for an osteopath who delivers legit life-changing results, Ray is the person you need.

I've been seeing Raymond for a few months now with regards to ongoing neck and shoulder issues. He has applied a very simple but highly effective structure to my rehab which is easily manageable around my BJJ training schedule and work/life balance. The results have been remarkable in such a short space of time with no time taken off the mats. I would highly recommend Raymond for sure.

What a guy!!! Ray is a genius! My back pain eased with a few sessions and that’s because the detail Ray puts in to not only the session but also the after care and exercises he gives to do at home! Highly recommended!!!

What sets Evolution Rehab apart is their personalized approach. They took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, listened carefully to my concerns, and developed a tailored treatment plan that was both challenging and effective. My therapist, Ray, was fantastic. He is highly skilled, patient, and always explained things clearly, making sure I understood the exercises and the reasoning behind them. He also provided helpful advice and strategies I could use at home to continue my recovery.

Raymond treated me for a severe case of tennis elbow. The treatment comprised a mixture of stretches and acupuncture. I had been struggling with pain for months, which went away after treatment. What was more important was the advice and exercises to make sure it didn’t come back (which it hasn’t over 6 months than later).

Ray is a miracle worker. After seeing multiple different physios for my neck injury with no improvement, Raymond’s holistic approach has been genuinely life changing. Not only has it pretty much solved my reasonably severe neck problems (allowing me to continue with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), he’s taught me to deal with injuries as they occur myself, fixed my posture and improved my strength. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been working with Ray for the past 5+ years and I can honestly say he saved my career. His knowledge of the human body and the different way to rehab and strengthen is unlike any I’ve seen before, any time I have an injury he is always my first call and I cannot recommend enough.
