Hamble Osteopath

Hamble Osteopath operates from the Garden Studio at 80 Satchell Lane in Hamble-le-Rice, Hampshire. Sally Prideaux, a registered osteopath and sports massage therapist, leads the practice. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy with honours from the London School of Osteopathy and a Level 4 Sports Massage Diploma.

Registered with the General Osteopathic Council, she is also a member of the Institute of Osteopathy and the British Medical Acupuncture Society. Her interest in the field developed after benefiting from osteopathy during recovery from a marathon-training injury.

The practice addresses a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal issues. Common conditions treated include back pain and sciatica, neck pain often linked to headaches or whiplash, joint and muscle strains, and arthritis-related discomfort.

Postural problems arising from work, driving, or pregnancy also feature prominently. Sports injuries receive particular attention, drawing on Sally Prideaux’s combined expertise in osteopathy and remedial massage.

Treatments begin with thorough assessments to identify underlying causes. Techniques encompass structural osteopathic manipulations, soft tissue work, and stretching methods.

Medical dry needling, a form of acupuncture, forms part of the approach when appropriate and with patient agreement. These methods aim to restore optimal body alignment and function while reducing pain and preventing recurrence. Sports massage sessions complement osteopathic care, targeting tension and aiding recovery from physical demands.

Sally Prideaux qualified as an osteopath in 2014 and has since built experience across diverse patient needs. Her dual qualifications allow integrated treatments that blend structural adjustments with deeper tissue release. The practice emphasises personalised plans, adapting techniques to individual circumstances for effective outcomes.

The clinic rates highly with a good number of reviews, reflecting consistent patient satisfaction with the care provided.

Located in Hamble village, the Garden Studio offers a dedicated space for consultations and treatments. Accessibility suits those seeking local specialist support for ongoing or acute musculoskeletal concerns. The combination of osteopathic principles and remedial massage distinguishes the service, supporting both immediate relief and longer-term wellbeing.
