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.
Hands-On Osteopathy
Osteopathy in Soho
Yousif Barr treats back, neck, shoulder, and joint pain with a case-history-led assessment and hands-on osteopathy that reads how your whole body moves, so you get to the cause of the pain, not just the site that hurts.
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.
Osteopathy can help to:
Settle back, neck and joint pain
Yousif finds what is driving the pain, eases it with gentle hands-on treatment, and gives you a clear plan so it settles rather than keeps flaring up.
Undo the strain of desk and screen life
Long days at a desk leave the neck, shoulders and lower back paying the price. We treat the strain and change the habits behind it so the tension stops coming back.
Ease tension-type and neck-related headaches
Many headaches trace back to tight, overloaded neck and shoulder muscles. We release what is feeding them and show you how to keep them from returning.
Get to the cause, not just the sore spot
Yousif looks at how your whole body moves and compensates, so treatment addresses what is actually driving the problem rather than chasing the pain around your body.
Recover from a sports injury and return with confidence
We diagnose the injury accurately, treat it by hand, and build the movement and strength that get you back to training, with clear steps to stay pain-free.
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

FAQ
FAQs
Do I need a GP referral to see an osteopath?
No. UK osteopaths are first-contact practitioners regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), so you can book directly without a GP referral. Simply email the clinic at info@ybosteopathy.co.uk or call on 07582 128662, and Yousif will assess you and begin treatment at your first appointment.
What conditions does osteopathy treat?
Yousif treats a wide range of musculoskeletal complaints: neck, back, shoulder, elbow, and hand or wrist pain, postural and repetitive strain, headaches, sports injuries, and hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain. After a full assessment, treatment is tailored to your specific condition rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.
How much does treatment cost and how long does it take?
An initial osteopathy consultation and treatment is £125 and runs up to an hour, covering a full history, examination, diagnosis, and hands-on treatment. Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes. Pricing is kept simple and transparent, and no GP referral is needed to book.
Will osteopathic treatment hurt?
Most osteopathic techniques are comfortable, and your comfort is the priority throughout. Work on tight or guarded muscles can feel briefly tender, and it is normal to be a little sore for 24 to 48 hours afterwards, much like after exercise. Yousif adjusts the approach to your tolerance and explains what to expect before each technique.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Allow up to an hour. Yousif takes a detailed history, examines how your whole body moves, and explains his diagnosis clearly before treating you. You leave with a bespoke treatment plan covering your prognosis and the practical steps that will help you stay pain-free.
