View Robins profile”When I founded Body Back-Up in 1988, I wanted to do more than treat the symptom in front of me. Lasting health comes from understanding the whole person. How you move, work and live and treating the cause, not just the pain. That's why our care is always a partnership, my job is to work alongside you and give you the tools to stay well long after you leave us. After thirty-five years, the goal is unchanged - getting people back to doing what they love.

After your osteopath has assessed you and designed your treatment plan, we use AI to turn it into something you can actually follow at home - a clear written action plan and demonstration videos of your exercises, so you're never left guessing.
Every plan is created and overseen by your osteopath. AI helps us present your exercises clearly – it never replaces professional clinical judgement.

The Institute of Health Promotion and Education (IHPE) marked its 60th anniversary at the House of Commons. As an IHPE Trustee, I was there - and one of the more memorable parts of the evening was a conversation with Dr Jeanelle De Gruchy, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England.

FAR stands for Functional Assessment and Remedial method. It is a structured framework where we dynamically assess how your muscle groups and joints work in harmony, followed by targeted remedial hands-on treatment and active, patient-led recovery strategies.
Chiropractors often focus primarily on high-velocity manipulation of the spine. Robin Lansman looks at the entire periphery (shoulders, hips, knees, ankles) and assesses how muscle groups function together in harmony, rather than just clicking joints.
Yes. While we cannot physically pop a disc back in, our treatments reduce the mechanical pressure on the compressed disc and nerve root by improving the mobility of the surrounding joints and relaxing tight muscle groups.
No. Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners. You can book directly with us at either our London or Maidenhead clinics without a GP referral.
