I highly recommend Frithe Johnson. i went to Frithe with my 5 year old son who had chronic digestive problems and constipation since a baby. As a qualified Medical herbalist myself, I had tried a whole range of herbs, supplements and dietary and lifestyle interventions. I had also been to pediatric consultants and was told to keep him on movicol ( an osmotic laxative) until he grew out of it. However it was not getting any better- if anything, worse. It was Frithe's intuitive and knowledgeable treatment that really made the difference. She made my son feel very relaxed and at ease straight away. He loved going to see in her! After a treatment course of about 6 weeks, his digestive issues were so much better. In fact now he rarely has issues at all and no longer needs medication. I was unsure osteopathy would be able to help in this area however Frithe's expertise and skills proved it really does. Thanks so much!

Frithe is a highly intuitive osteopath, as well as sorting out my back pain issue, she looked at my breathing patterns and how that was contributing to my body's angst and gave exercises to do at home ! Highly recommend her

I recently had a shoulder injury, and went for a few sessions with Frithe. It was the first time I'd been to an osteopath and I was quite nervous about the manipulation aspect. But she really put me at ease, made me feel very comfortable and was very thorough in the questions she asked. Happily, my shoulder is much better now, but will definitely go back to her if I ever have back or shoulder problems again!

I saw Frithe a few weeks ago for a knee problem I've had for ages and she managed to get some movement back in my knee from some gentle manipulation in that first session! I really liked her manner which was kind and empathic. I went away with some exercises and will be heading back there again soon. Thanks Frithe!

What is Osteopathy?

"To find health should be the object of the doctor.
Anyone can find disease."
— Dr A.T. Still

Osteopathy is a gentle,
hands-on approach

Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach that helps your body release tension, improve mobility, and support its natural self-healing. Safe for most people — from newborns to pregnant people, elders and people approaching the end of life — it addresses pain, discomfort, and restrictions to bring you back into balance.

Osteopaths are NHS-recognised Allied Health Professionals, trained over 4 years to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of health issues. We use our detailed knowledge of anatomy, and how the body works in health and dis-ease alongside our highly skilled, sensitive sense of touch to bring about ease and restore mobiliy.

Meet Frithe Johnson

Registered Osteopath

Hello, I’m Frithe

a Registered Osteopath (GOsC) and full member of the Institute of Osteopathy. I have over 13 years of clinical experience helping people reconnect with their body’s natural vitality. My work draws on advanced post graduate training in women’s health, paediatric, and cranial osteopathy, and a deep love for the biodynamic approach.

My treatments are gentle and deeply attentive. I see the body as a living expression of health — even when it’s struggling — and I work to help it find its natural balance again. Many people describe their sessions as grounding, restorative, and quietly transformative. Mobility improves, pain and discomfort subsides and people are more comfortable.

My passion for osteopathy began from personal experience. When my child underwent a liver transplant and later faced non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, osteopathic treatment played a huge role in supporting us both through that time. He’s now a strong and thriving young man — even a world champion transplant sport sprinter for Team GB

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll probably find me out in the wild, spending time with my husband, dog, or happily splashing about in the water whenever I get the chance.
