Consultation & Assessment
Your first appointment runs up to an hour. A full case history, then an examination of how your whole body moves and compensates, ending in a working diagnosis explained in plain terms before any treatment begins.
Signature Assessment
The Full Body MOT in Soho
A head-to-toe osteopathic screen that maps how your whole body moves, where it compensates, and what is really driving your pain or stiffness, so you leave with a clear picture of your alignment and a personalised plan to stay mobile.
At your first appointment Yousif listens before he treats: your health, your work, and how your whole body moves.
Allow up to an hour. Yousif takes a full history covering your health, medications, injuries, work, and lifestyle, then examines how your whole body moves and where it compensates.
He explains the working diagnosis in plain terms before any hands-on work begins, and treatment starts in the same visit. You leave with a plan you understand.
The Full Body MOT can help to:
Find what is really driving recurring pain
A single sore spot is often the end of a longer chain. The screen maps how your whole body moves so treatment addresses the actual driver, not just where you feel it.
Undo the strain of desk and screen life
Long days at a desk quietly overload the neck, shoulders and lower back. We show you exactly where that load is landing and how to unload it.
Catch problems before they become injuries
The MOT surfaces the restrictions and compensations building quietly in the background, so you can address them while they are still easy to change.
Understand your own alignment in plain terms
You leave with a clear, jargon-free picture of how your body is moving, where it is restricted, and what that means for the way you feel day to day.
Get a whole-body plan, not a quick fix
Rather than treating one area in isolation, you finish with a tailored plan of treatment, exercises and practical changes that keep you mobile and aligned.
Yousif is an outstanding osteopath and a wonderful person. I came to him with tingling and burning in my fingers due to long stretches at my computer and he was able to provide relief within the first session. I’ve had a handful of sessions since and my symptoms have improved drastically. He’s also advised me on prevention and his advice has hugely helpful. He is a very calming presence and has a kind demeanour. I cannot recommend his services enough - he is excellent at his craft.

Your journey
with YB Osteopathy
The arc is simple: relieve, realign, rebuild. Yousif finds what is driving the pain, treats it by hand, and gives you a plan and the habits that stop it returning.
Hands-On Treatment
Gentle, tailored osteopathic treatment: soft-tissue work, joint articulation and mobilisation, and postural correction chosen for your presentation. Your comfort is the priority throughout, because the more at ease you are, the better you respond.
Your Plan
You leave with a clear plan covering your diagnosis, your prognosis, and exercises to use between visits. Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes and reassess your progress against the baseline.
Staying Pain-Free
The movement, habits, and desk-side changes that keep the problem from rebuilding. Where something falls outside osteopathic care, Yousif refers quickly through the in-house network at UNTIL: the right help at the right time.
A pain-free life, treated as a whole. Yousif looks past the site of the pain to how the whole body moves and compensates, then treats the cause so the relief holds.

FAQ
FAQs
What is The Full Body MOT?
It is YB Osteopathy's signature head-to-toe assessment. Rather than looking only at the area that hurts, Yousif screens how your whole body moves, where it compensates, and what is driving your pain or stiffness, then gives you a clear picture of your alignment and a personalised plan to stay mobile.
Who is the Full Body MOT for?
It suits anyone carrying recurring or hard-to-pin-down aches, and it is especially useful for desk-based and active city workers dealing with postural and repetitive strain. It is also a strong starting point if you simply want to move better and stay ahead of injury rather than wait for pain.
How is it different from a standard osteopathy appointment?
A standard appointment focuses on assessing and treating a specific complaint. The Full Body MOT is a wider screen of how your entire body moves and compensates, designed to surface the underlying drivers of recurring problems and give you a whole-body plan rather than addressing one area alone.
Do I need a GP referral, and how much does it cost?
No GP referral is needed: osteopaths are first-contact practitioners. The Full Body MOT is £175 for a 90-minute assessment. To book, email the clinic at info@ybosteopathy.co.uk or call on 07582 128662 and the team will arrange a time that suits you.
What should I bring or wear?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that lets you move freely, as the assessment looks at how your whole body moves. Bring any relevant scan reports or GP letters and a list of current medications, and allow time for a thorough head-to-toe screen and discussion of your plan.
