ABOUT US
Natalie Gladstone
BSc(hons) OST, MSCCO
Natalie has been running her own Osteopathic clinic since 2007, which she set up when moving back to Bristol after working in London and abroad.
The practice was initially set up in Westbury Park, Bristol and now runs in the village of Tockington, North Bristol, hence the name ‘Tockington Osteopathy’.
Natalie prides herself on not only her Osteopathic experience and training, but with the relationship she builds with her patients, listening and truly understanding what it is that they want to gain from their treatment, be that getting out of pain, improving their mobility, being referred for further assessments, enhancing their quality of life, or succeeding in their performance in living and sporting activities (this can simply be walking down the road to running the marathon).
Her experience ranges from working in the NHS on complex and chronic patients, to working for the BBC in their (then) London based studios, treating staff, performers and actors whilst filming, musicians and news reporters. This experience was invaluable in her gaining experience of patients needing quick yet sustainable results from their treatments.
A placement in New Zealand alongside the countries rugby teams, she quickly learnt to find strength in her treatments and a deep understanding of treatment within the sporting world. And finally working within a ‘family based’ practice, treating newborns to the elderly.
Having qualified from the prestigious University College of Osteopathy (formally known as The British School of Osteopathy) in 2002, she has continued her postgraduate training to enhance and compliment her Osteopathic training. These are listed below and are recommended in her treatment sessions when they are deemed necessary.
Natalie regularly attends talks and meetings with local surgeons and GP’s and continues to keep up to date with new techniques and will refer patients when it is necessary.
She is part of the award winning Bristol Osteopathic society, an Osteopathic group which meets regularly to undertake continued professional development courses, share ideas and discuss new data and passionately believes ‘that you can never stop learning’.

Cranial and Paediatric Osteopathy
Natalie undertook this in depth training of cranial osteopathy, participating in many courses from the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy, gaining SCCO certification allowing her to offer this ‘gentle’ form of treatment to patients that need it- particularly those unsettled babies!

Rehabilitative and Clinical Pilates
Natalie has trained with and gained certification from the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute. A clinical Pilates training programme, only offered to those that have previous training such as Osteopaths and Physiotherapists.
She undertook this training after seeing patients return after treatment having re- injured themselves and wanted to help prevent this. She saw that patient’s needed a detailed ‘aftercare programme’ following treatment and simply sending them off to do a ‘Pilates class’ wasn’t sufficient in some cases.
Natalie will often write her ‘own rehabilitation programme’ during her Osteopathic sessions, something that has greatly reassured and given confidence to many of her patients.
Western Acupuncture
Natalie undertook this course from her original college, studying dry needling (western acupuncture). This is different to traditional Chinese acupuncture and uses acupuncture needles to relieve muscular pain.
Natalie offers this in her treatment sessions for those that would like it, this is discussed in detail beforehand, when it is deemed that it would benefit patients and is particularly useful in ‘tendon based injuries’.
Sports and Kinesio Strapping
Natalie can offer this to support and stabilize joints after treatment. It aids rehabilitation and improves posture and is particularly helpful when patients are ‘acute’ and in immediate pain.
She can also show you how to do this at home after treatment sessions, should you find it helpful.
