Francis, the Osteopath is absolutely brilliant. I am always pleading with people who tell me they have a problem with their back etc to go to him rather than getting a prescription of pills from the Doctor which only deal with the symptoms and not the source of the problem. It is worth spending the money on an appointment which you can get in a matter of days, where you’ll walk out in a better state then you went in, rather than waiting for x rays and lengthy investigations through your GP (not that I’m against the NHS, I support it, but as far as I know, this kind of treatment isn’t available.)
One of the great things is that on your first appoinment, before doing some treatment in it later on, you get a full MOT of your body, lifestyle and what you eat, so you get a ‘holistic’ approach, and I hate that word as it’s banded about too much but in this case it means what it says. I went once with a bad knee, but the source of the problem was from my hip, so there you go.
To top it all, Francis is a top bloke, down to earth, friendly and I always have a good chat about allsorts while I’m there. He won’t rip you off either or recommend lots of follow up appointments if you don’t need them.

The Manchester Osteopathic Clinic is fantastic, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the price for treatment is very competitive. I found Mr Francis Connor (Principal Osteopath) to be extremely knowledgable in his field, he treated my aches & pains with gentle manipulation, massage and stretching. On my first visit I went to the Clinic in some considerable pain because of over doing things, but after a half hour session I left feeling 90% better. Mr Connor also gave me a list of stretching exercises to perform at home, the exercises were specific to my problems and worked brilliantly. Mr Connor also has excellent nutritional knowledge and by following his advice I was able to recover from injury even quicker. I am quite active and have suffered from, ankle, shin and lower back pain, but the Manchester Osteopathic Clinic were able to get me running again in no time. In recent years I have climbed Mont Blanc, ran the New York & London marathons, completed 6 half marathons, completed the ToughGuy competition 3 times, rock climbed to HVS standard and completed the 200 mile coast to coast walk. At present I am training for a 10K in May, fell run July and half marathon in September 2010. I would highly recommend the Manchester Osteopathic Clinic, whether you suffered injury through work or whilst training, I'm sure they will be able to help.

I've been treated by Francis for years now - that's not to say he's not good at what he does - just that I damage myself regularly!!

He's hands-on, which i prefer to being hooked up to machines, and it means that I get a great massage as well because all my treatments start with a massage to loosen up the problems areas.

On one occasion I entered the treatment room almost bent double - and I did a little skip on the way out - I don't know how he did it but he worked a miracle that time.

I have recommended many friends, family members and colleagues to Francis and all have been very happy with the results.

Only on my first round of visits to Francis did I have repeat visits - but then my back was in a very bad way. On most occasions one visit is all it takes to get me back on my mountain bike, snowboard or just my feet!

Just the way I like it.

I was recommended by a friend to visit Francis after injuring my shoulder and neck whilst training. I have been to numerous masseurs/ physios and had no joy. I thought I'd give it a try at Francis's clinic and I'm glad I did. His examination of my injuries was very thorough and for once I felt like somebody actually knew what they were talking about. He helped me understand more about my injury and showed me how to improve it by showing me numerous amounts of stretches and exercises that I didn't know. I have been carrying out my stretches and I have already felt an improvement after a week in my shoulder. I would definitely recommend francis to anyone who has any type of sports injury.

Hi. i never really believed in Osteopathy or similar kind of treatment. But i had problems for over 3 years with my leg and nothing to loose. After 3 treatments and some exercise for me to do at home i am PAINFREE. All i got from the GP is some painkillers which helps but it is not a solution. But here they work at the source of problems not the effect they have.I had the sessions with Rose and she explained everything to me, what she is doing, why i have to do the exercise and why it will help. I had a small accident some weeks ago and when i called i got an appointment for the next day when i explained what happened. Frances was great. The stuff is super nice and the money well worth it. All I can do is recommend it ad advice to give it a try.

I have just had my second session with Francis at Manchester Osteopaths and already I am beginning to feel a difference. He is friendly and I feel relaxed throughout the session having a good chat about everything! He is always willing to answer any questions that might come up and takes an interest in what I have been doing. He has experience in many areas and is able to give trustworthy advice surrounding nutrition and exercises that would help. The clinic staff are welcoming and very efficient.
I wasn’t sure what was going on with my body and why there was pain in certain areas before I went to Manchester Osteopaths but I Francis was immediately able to recognise the problem and explain the situation to me. I now know what I should be doing to improve things and look forward to going back for another session in a few weeks to see how much progress has been made.
Overall a fantastic place which I would highly recommend to anyone! Also, being a student I am very pleased that they offer a student discount.
