About Me - Lancaster Osteopaths

John Lancaster

John Lancaster has been helping people out of pain and preventing injury and pain for over 20 years. He gained an Honours Degree in Osteopathy in 2002 and a Masters Diploma in Sports Injury Massage 5 years earlier.

John is fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council and an active member of The Institute of Osteopathy. This gives patients peace of mind knowing that John has to be assessed every year to meet the Institutes high standard of care.

John’s idea on healing is very simple, listen to your patient and give them time to explain what they think about their problem. All the answers are right in front of you, then use your clinical skills and knowledge to heal the injury as quickly and as gently as possible.

Having trained and competed in many martial arts over the last 40 years John prides himself on experiencing 1st hand the type of pain and injury experienced by sports people. He understands the strains and stresses associated with acute, chronic and debilitating injury and the frustration of not being able to do the things you love to do due to pain.

Having visited many osteopaths over the years, John has tailored his treatments and outcomes for his patients from these personal experiences with one end goal always in mind –
“Help people get out of pain as quickly and as gently as possible so they can get back to doing the things they love to do”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant Osteopath. I had back pain for three months and was in a lot of pain. I decided to try here as read and heard wonderful reviews. John was very thorough, he went through all of my medical history with my back and worked wonders on it. I left feeling so much better and able to move around more and in less pain. I went back today for another session and I’m now back to normal. He gave me lots of advice and tips on taking care of my back and the right exercises to do. He really cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to make sure that they are comfortable. I will be returning monthly for maintenance check ups and can’t recommend John enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had IDD therapy with John. I have bulging disc’s in my neck and have experienced extremely bad headaches for a while now. Tightness in the neck area also which has affected my job and hobbies. After seeing John’s advert on Facebook I decided to give it a try as I had tried literally everything else, physiotherapy, osteopathy, steroid injections and a lot more. Nothing had really helped. After 20 plus sessions with John I can honestly say that my neck has never been better. No more crippling headaches or tightness stopping me from living my life. I recommend to anyone giving IDD therapy at the Lancaster Clinic a try. It isn’t the cheapest option but has definitely worked for me and if I was to add up the cost of all the others treatment I tried. It actually would work out cheaper in the long run.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you John for helping me escape from crippling sciatic pain that was stopping me from doing all my favourite things and a lot of everyday tasks too. I had 22 sessions of IDD therapy on his computerised traction machine to try to relieve the nerve compression being caused by a disc bulge. Over the course of a couple of months the IDD therapy released the pressure on the nerve meaning that almost all of my groin, knee and leg pain is now gone and I can walk again for more than a few minutes.  John gave me a free 15 minute consultation at the beginning, reviewed my MRI report, explained the treatment process well and was honest about the potential outcomes. Although this treatment can take a while to work, it almost certainly has saved me from further major surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend this treatment to anyone else in the same position.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with this osteopath. I was struggling with shoulder pain, and after just two sessions I felt like a completely new person. Booking appointments through the app is quick and very convenient. The whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been in pain for months with little movement in my neck. I had done physio, massage etc. but nothing helped. I came across Johns advert on Instagram mentioning DD. I received a call shortly after submitting my interest and John explained all aspects of treatment. On my first appointment John checked my alignment and instantly knew what was causing my pain. After one session the pain had subsided and all numbness and tingling was non-existent. I've now been able to get back into the gym. I can't hype John enough, he doesn't treat for treatments sake and that shows in bundles due to his experience, but equally leaves you feeling brand new. I would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been dealing with CFS/ME for over 10 years and have tried so many therapies: nutritional and herbal support, IV drips, red light therapy. Each helped in its own way, but the Perrin Technique with John at Lancaster Osteopathic Clinic was the missing piece of the puzzle. John is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely committed to helping his patients improve. I’m so grateful I found this treatment. Highly recommend John if you’re considering the Perrin Technique.
