Why choose Medway Osteopathic Clinic for professional osteopathic treatment?

Choosing your Osteopath

Founded by Gary Lutz in 1988, this City Way clinic has been treating people in the Medway towns, Kent, London and South East of England for over 2 decades

Located in City Way in Rochester Kent, the A229 Medway Osteopathic Clinic offers specialist treatment for back pain, low back pain, neck pain, whip lash, sprained ankles, knee problems, sports injuries and much more.

Osteopathy is a primary care therapy i.e. a patient need not see a medical practitioner before seeking the help of an osteopath. The original attempt to establish a National register accepted the need to protect patients but also to protect the development of osteopathy, the limits of which have not yet been discovered.


People go to osteopaths for a variety of reasons. Often it's because they can be seen quickly rather than waiting to see a physiotherapist in the NHS.

Osteopathy is not physiotherapy. An osteopath may adjust your foot but osteopaths are not chiropodists. We are constrained by the requirements of the advertising standards authority (ASA) in that we may not claim to cure anything where adequate research has failed to show cure. 

To be honest a remarkable amount of what passes as therapy of all sorts lacks adequately researched proof of cure. Unregulated practitioners of all persuasions may claim anything for their work but any healthcare professional may not. 
Treatment is not cure. The body heals itself. All effective treatment allows the body's natural mechanisms to return to health by removing those blocks to health and the known promoters of ill health.

The A229 Medway Osteopathic Clinic, based on City Way, Rochester in Kent has been helping people get out of pain for over 24 years.

Within the osteopathic community reputation is everything, and a lot of patients visiting Gary Lutz at his medway clinic are referred by a freind, family member or work colleague.

Back problems are the biggest reason customers state for visiting this Rochester osteopath. Back problems can vary from problems with the lower back, back aches and pains to bad posture causing back problems.

There are many treatments available in Rochester for back problems the most well known are chiropractic and osteopathy. The most important part of any osteopathic treatment is to make the patient feel comfortable, relaxed and able to open up about all the symptoms they are suffering.

Gary Lutz is not the only osteopath in Kent or even the only osteopath in Medway, however his Medway clinic is consistently busy. This could be the fact Gary will work on a Sunday to fit patients in, it could be the relaxing surroundings within the practise or it could just be the standard of treatment and after care delivered by this Medway clinic.

Why the A229 Medway Osteopathic Clinic, because we offer on going treatment to not only fix back problems but to help patients not have the same problems re-occur in the future.
