Our Approach
At The Essex Osteopathic Clinic, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our holistic approach to osteopathy is centred on understanding your individual needs and providing tailored care to promote optimal health and well-being. By addressing the root cause of your pain or discomfort, we aim to provide long-lasting relief and support your journey to a healthier, more active life.
Here’s what you can expect from our approach:
Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a thorough consultation, during which we take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and specific concerns. Our osteopaths will conduct a detailed physical examination, carefully assessing the cause of your symptoms and how different areas of your body may be contributing to your condition. Based on this evaluation, we’ll work with you to set realistic health goals and develop a treatment plan that is fully customised to your individual needs.
Holistic Treatment Plans
Our treatment approach is designed to address not only the immediate area of pain but also any underlying issues affecting your overall well-being. By combining manual osteopathic techniques, such as joint mobilisation and soft tissue therapy, with personalised advice on lifestyle changes and exercises, we aim to support your full recovery. Depending on your specific needs, your treatment plan may include a mix of osteopathic manipulation, dry needling, soft tissue release, or medical acupuncture to ensure the best results.
Personalised Care
At The Essex Osteopathic Clinic, we understand that every patient is unique. That’s why we tailor each treatment to your specific condition, physical goals, and personal preferences. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from a sports injury, or seeking to improve your posture, we adapt our techniques to suit your needs and optimise your outcomes. Throughout the treatment process, we actively listen to your feedback and make adjustments to your treatment plan as necessary to ensure continuous progress.
Focus on Long-Term Health
Our approach goes beyond short-term symptom relief. We focus on addressing the root causes of your condition and work to prevent future issues by correcting any imbalances or dysfunctions. In addition to hands-on treatment, we provide guidance on maintaining good posture, improving ergonomics, and making lifestyle changes that support your long-term health. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to manage your health effectively and reduce the risk of recurring pain or injury.
Collaborative Care
We believe in a partnership approach to your care. Throughout your treatment, we explain the rationale behind each technique and ensure that you feel comfortable and well-informed. When necessary, we collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists or GPs, to provide you with comprehensive and coordinated care. We are always available to answer any questions you may have and will support you every step of the way.

Our expert team
Meet James and Lucia di Cicco, osteopaths with a passion for helping you feel your best. With years of expertise intreating various conditions, we’re here to guide you on your journey to better health.


I have noticed a huge improvement in my recovery after my accident (broken leg) since I started seeing James and will continue to see him to aid in my recovery journey.
The clinic is a warm and inviting space where you can feel relaxed while getting your treatment and consultation.
I would highly recommend the Essex Osteo Clinic to anyone.
James was quickly able to diagnose the areas causing my pain and undertake treatment to relieve the pain.
He also undertook some acupuncture which was really effective at stimulating the muscle without any pain or discomfort.
Before I left he k-taped my shoulder to support my upper back and gave me some exercises to help with recovery.
The studio is really calm and well fitted out.
Will be back
He has seen me through highs and lows including a challenging period where I could barely hold a pen. These days I am feeling stronger and moving better, consistently making progress with the return to sport in sight.
He has consistently been a source of physical and mental support on the road to recovery and as such, I have followed him between locations. I was excited to hear he had finally set up his own shared clinic alongside his wife. His broad range of knowledge, maintained by continued development is enhanced by a warm personality which fills you with confidence and puts the mind at ease.
This clinic is relaxing and inviting, hidden away in the backstreets of Chelmsford. You are instantly hit with a spa like aesthetic which is a nice contrast to the more sterile, medical settings you find elsewhere. I am left relaxed and ready to face the day following treatment.
Cannot recommend enough. Keep up the good work!
