about us
GW Osteopathy has been treating patients in Guildford for almost 6 years. Professionally qualified holistic therapist and osteopath, Gemma Ware will take care of you and your children's health whatever stage in life you are... fit, infirm, frail or just injured.
Do you want to enjoy better health and wellbeing?
Do you suffer from:
· Pain and discomfort in your bones or joints?
· Discomfort when sitting for long periods?
· Sports and work-related injuries?
· The inability to do as much as you used to due to pain?
· Recurrent headaches and migraines?
· Frequent, regular pain relief medication to ease back or joint pain?
Well don't! GW Osteopathy can help alleviate these symptoms.
Based in Guildford, Gemma Ware completed her four year degree in 2005 
and qualified from the British School of Osteopathy (B.Ost). She is also a Registered Osteopath with the General Osteopathic Council (GOSC).
As a holistic therapist, Gemma's approach to her treatment tends to include a lot of soft tissue techniques, sports massage and articulation to joints, minimising manipulation. She treats a wide range of patients from babies and children to pregnant women, athletes and the elderly.
GW Osteopathy most commonly treats people for:
· Trapped nerves
· Elbow/shoulder pain
· Tight, sore muscles
· Disc problems
· Headaches and migraines
· Ankle, knee and foot problems
· Poor hip mobility
· Sport injuries
· Postural problems
· Neck problems/whiplash
· Pregnancy-related aches and pains
What to expect
During your initial consultation, Gemma will take your full case history relating to the presenting complaint: she will ask about your general health, your lifestyle and nutrition and your medical history. She will then carry out 
a physical exam to make a diagnosis and decide on the right treatment plan for you.
Osteopathy is a holistic treatment based on a combination of non-invasive manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue massage, stretching, joint manipulation and exercise advice, so you will need to wear loose clothing. In general the treatment does not hurt - there may be aching afterwards, especially if the problem is severe or longstanding, but this normally subsides very quickly.
Gemma will not simply concentrate on treating the problem area; she will use manual techniques to balance and positively influence all the systems of the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems, and provide overall good health and wellbeing and reduce the need for some medications:
· Relief from your aches and pains
· Help to improve your posture resulting in less back pain
· Help improve your mobility and movement
· Help you return to normal life and everyday activities quicker
· Relief of built up tension causing sleepless nights
· Quicker recovery for athletes and sports people
· Help with advice for prevention of pain
Additional Treatments
As a holistic therapist, Gemma offers a range of further treatments, including cranial osteopathy, dry needling/acupuncture and sports massage.
Cranial Osteopathy
GW Osteopathy offers cranial osteopathy; this gentle effective approach is 
especially suitable for very infirm people as it uses only very slight pressure on the head or lower back.
Dry needling/acupuncture
Dry needling is another name for western medical acupuncture and it is suitable for a number of treatments.
Sports massage
Gemma is trained to treat sporting injuries, postural stresses and more serious muscle injuries.

Gemma has treated me on numerous occasions for my low back pain and episodes of headaches caused by neck pain. She is personable, fun and professional and explains things to me in a way I understand and not medical speak! She has always helped me get back to work and back to the activities I enjoy without being in pain. I would recommend Gemma to any friends and family in the Guildford area.
Almost overnight I went from being active to not being able to walk or sit without being in a lot of pain. After months of seeing different healthcare professionals and not really moving forward, I found Gemma's website and made an appointment - I am so pleased I did! After only a couple of sessions I noticed a huge improvement with my lower back, I was more mobile and pain free. I have continued to be treated regularly by Gemma over the past 11 months, to maintain my back and to help with other problems, including migraines. She is always very thorough, talks me through my treatment and gives me stretches to help me further. I have always felt relaxed and in safe hands. Gemma is professional, friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Alina Penwarden

She was professional, made me feel totally at ease and above everything else, I felt I could walk on air following the session. Carole Yallop Very happy patient
What can I say? 'Healing hands' spring to mind, my back is not the easiest to deal with after a car accident 15 years ago but Gemma after just one session really helped me and The stress I was holding in my upper shoulder, Gemma is very sensitive to your aches and pains and clearly understands how the body works and is responsive to that. After just a half hour session with NO fuss I feel like a new woman. Thanks Gemma - see you next week!

Gemma is truly a worthy contender. She is caring and most professional in her approach to healing. I could not be in better hands , quite literally. I would not think twice in recommending her to anyone.
I have seen Gemma a number of times recently to help with neck, back and knee issues as a result of my road cycling. I've been really impressed with her ability to make an assessment, carry out the right treatment and explore methods to avoid further injury. Her understanding cycling positioning and mechanics has really helped me improve. I've recommended her to a few people now, she's amazing!
I'm so glad I found Gemma! Having had a bad issue with my neck and rhomboids for years and spending lots of money on getting sports massages every 2 weeks to keep on top of it. After one session with Gemma, she completely sorted my problem. I went 4 months without seeing anyone with no issues. I couldn't believe it. I would throughly recommend Gemma to anyone without any hesitation. I particularly like her services because she also offers acupuncture and sports massage as well, which is a rarity with Osteopaths.
I went to see Gemma as i had an injury due to doing much runnning. I had a constant pain in my lower back. Gemma gave me an assessement and with several treatments (including acupuncture) I feel much better. I also go to see Gemma on a regular bases now to help with any other aches and pains that i may have. Thanks Gemma.
