Why Patients Choose The Family Practice
At The Family Practice on Gloucester Road, we provide experienced, osteopathic treatment in Bristol with a whole-body perspective.
Our approach begins with accurate diagnosis.
Pain in the back, pelvis, hip or neck is not always what it seems.
Our osteopaths assess the body from jaw to feet, examining posture, breathing mechanics, spinal movement and pelvic function to understand the true cause of symptoms.
This detailed assessment allows us to treat effectively and, when necessary, refer promptly for further investigation.

History
Established in 2006.
The Family Practice began over 20 years ago as a small family-led osteopathic clinic on Gloucester Road, Bristol.
We are a family of osteopaths , husband and wife, brother and sister, sister-in-law and father , all working together and sharing the same commitment to thoughtful, patient-centred care.
While the practice itself has been established for two decades, our osteopaths have been qualified for more than 30 years, bringing a depth of clinical experience to every consultation.
From the beginning our philosophy has been simple: to listen carefully, assess the whole body and treat the underlying cause of pain rather than just the symptoms.
Over the years the clinic has grown into a trusted multidisciplinary practice offering osteopathy, specialist women’s health care and complementary therapies, including massage, acupuncture and nutritional therapy.
Many of our patients come through word of mouth, returning over the years and recommending the clinic to friends and family.
Meet the Business Owner: Juliana H.
The Family Practice was inspired by a belief that healthcare should feel personal, thoughtful and rooted in trust. As a family of osteopaths, we wanted to create a clinic where patients could receive careful diagnosis, hands-on treatment and time to be truly listened to.
Osteopathy has always been part of our family life, and we shared a vision of building a practice that reflected the traditional osteopathic principles of treating the whole person rather than just symptoms.
Over time that vision grew into The Family Practice on Gloucester Road — a welcoming clinic where experienced osteopaths work alongside other trusted practitioners to provide integrated care.
Our aim has always been simple: to help people recover from pain, move well and maintain long-term health through thoughtful, experienced treatment.
