Our Women Health specialists support you, making everyday activities become easier with PGP.
We know that PGP can make everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs, or lifting your baby uncomfortable and frustrating. We provide gentle, safe, treatment to help you move more freely, reduce discomfort, and feel confident in your body again.
We work directly with your muscles, joints, and posture to ease tension, improve pelvic stability, and restore balance. This includes gentle joint and soft tissue mobilisation, cranial osteopathy to release tension, personalized guidance on posture, movement, and lifting, and tailored exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor and the core.
With this support, everyday activities become easier, helping you feel more comfortable, capable, and cared for.
How osteopathy can help:
We’re proud to share that Meadowside Osteopathy’s Clinical Director, Orit Huntley, Women’s health osteopath Emily Green and Shania Thompson are officially Recognised Practitioners with the Pelvic Partnership charity — a UK-wide organisation dedicated to helping women with pregnancy-related pelvic pain.
The Pelvic Partnership provides education and guidance to both women and healthcare professionals about best practice in treating and managing pelvic girdle pain (PGP). The charity’s core message is that PGP is treatable — women should never feel they simply have to “put up with it.”
As part of this network, Meadowside Osteopathy helps women access the right treatment sooner — improving comfort, confidence, and mobility throughout pregnancy and beyond. We are honoured to be associated with this trusted organisation and proud to offer specialist osteopathic care for pelvic girdle pain in Farnham and the wider Surrey area.

Helpful and accessible, got me back on my feet after a short course of therapyPosted on Lara MorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first experience with an osteopath, and I was so impressed by Shania’s approach and level of care. I came in for wrist pain that had been getting progressively worse over a few weeks, to the point where I was almost in tears. She was able to get to the source of the pain, and after just one session, the pain had completely cleared within a few days. Couldn’t recommend her more!Posted on Hannah DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t recommend Meadowside and its team enough. I have visited them for a number of reasons over the last 4 years (headaches during pregnancy, treatment for my 3 month old baby and back issues) and each time they have delivered an excellent service.Posted on Francesca NichollsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily has been fantastic in making me as comfortable as possible in the latter stages of a twin pregnancy. Would recommend to anyone as an essential treatment!Posted on Patrick WellsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Meadowside has been great! Shania has been helping me as I have had prolonged issues with my sinus. She has really helped with this and also located problems with my neck. Altea has also been really welcoming. I would definitely recommend :)Posted on Hetty CannonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just took my 14 year old son, who is struggling with a rugby injury, to see Ashley. We were both SO impressed. Hugely knowledgable, so easy to talk to and clear in his thoughts and explanations and most of all gave my son an incredible treatment. He is already feeling so much better. Honestly I’ve seen many professionals for various injuries for myself and my family over the years and he was one of the best. I highly recommend him.
