Daily Headaches Gone:
Belinda's Osteopathic & Physiotherapy Story
Belinda, a client who relocated to London from Australia, resolved daily headaches that had disrupted her social life through integrated osteopathic treatment, massage, and guided exercise at One Body LDN — moving from relying on daily painkillers to being headache-free and fully social again.
The Problem
Belinda was experiencing headaches every single day, reaching a point where she knew something was seriously wrong, yet felt she had to hide the constant pain and act as though everything was normal. Regular use of Panadol and paracetamol was not providing any relief. Having moved from Australia, where she had experience with chiropractors, osteopaths, and physiotherapists, she needed to find a new provider whose approach genuinely fitted her lifestyle.
Why She Chose One Body LDN
Belinda had tried other chiropractors after moving to London, but found that One Body LDN's approach suited her particularly well. She specifically valued that massage was integrated with chiropractic treatment, and described the experience as personal rather than clinical: "When I come to see Kurt, it feels like I am seeing a friend. He is professional, but he also listens to what I have to say."
The Assessment & Diagnosis
Our specialist practitioner Kurt Johnson assessed Belinda's chronic headaches in the context of her broader physical and emotional stress, identifying an approach that combined chiropractic treatment with massage and guided exercise rather than relying on pain medication alone.
The Treatment Plan
- Osteopathic treatment integrated with massage therapy
- A personal, consistent therapeutic relationship allowing open discussion of physical and emotional stress
- Targeted exercises demonstrated and practised in the on-site gym, ensuring correct technique
- A take-home exercise plan Belinda could continue confidently and correctly outside of sessions
The Result
"My life has changed. I feel much more like myself again, and I am back to being social... I feel like a normal person again and can take part in life rather than withdrawing because of migraines or headaches."

I think the most frustrating thing for me was being in constant pain while pretending that everything was normal. It reached the point where I was having headaches every day, and I knew something was wrong. Taking Panadol or paracetamol regularly was not helping at all.
I moved from Australia, where I had seen chiropractors, osteopaths and
physiotherapists. When I came here, I needed to find someone who fitted well with my lifestyle. I had seen other chiropractors, but I found that this approach suited me particularly well.
I like the fact that massage is integrated with the chiropractic treatment, and I also like how personal the service feels. When I come to see Kurt, it feels like I am seeing a friend. He is professional, but he also listens to what I have to say and helps me feel better when I am going through emotional stress.
It feels professional, but also comfortable and friendly, so I never feel awkward discussing things when I come in.
I also like the fact that the clinic is connected to a gym. During treatment, Kurt gives me exercises and takes me into the gym to demonstrate them. This means I know I am performing them correctly and can continue doing them properly at home.
My life has changed. I feel much more like myself again, and I am back to being social. My headaches have significantly reduced and have now gone, which has had a major positive effect on my social life.
I feel like a normal person again and can take part in life rather than withdrawing because of migraines or headaches. Previously, stress and physical pain prevented me from socialising and seeing friends.
I have recommended Kurt to friends before, and I would recommend him to
anyone who is making an enquiry or needs some help with their body.
