Testimonials

I went to see Taras for my ankle. Taras is very professional and knows exactly what he is doing. Even after one session plus some exercices to follow, my ankle is getting better and better. Great personality as well. If you are looking for an osteopath, that’s the choice
Benjamin G
I had several days of debilitating lower back pain, which made bending and walking extremely painful. I visited Taras and he diagnosed probable sciatica, After an hour of his skillful, careful massage, manipulations, and simple guided exercises, I was amazed to walk out of the clinic almost entirely pain free. After one follow-up visit and continuing the exercises, I am entirely pain-free more than a month later. I would definitely recommend Taras for his careful and gentle work and no-fuss, friendly approach. Thank you very much, Taras
Liana C
Amazing! I went to see Taras because of back pain. After two sessions, I felt no more pain. Taras is professional and takes time to listen to his patients. I recommend him without hesitation. Thank you!
Claire T
Taras treated my knee injury, it was very professional and with effective results
Marta D
I had to see Taras many times for different pains in different areas (lower back, knees, ankles). I was always very satisfied with his work. He is very friendly and communicates very well about the cause of the pain and the different interactions of the body parts. I'll definitely go to see him again (unless I have no other pain ever ! which is very unlikely...)
Thomas N
Osteopathic sessions were effective and the problem was solved earlier than anticipated
Caryn C
Taras is fantastic. He has treated me for chronic back pain for a few months and has made a huge difference. Highly recommend him
Rowena L
I strongly recommend Taras: honest about what he thinks and understands, and really willing to find a long-term solution (and also a short-term relief if necessary...). I have thus decided to see him regularly to help me prevent or limitate the injuries and pains I can get when running, trekking…
Mathieu M
Strongly recommend this osteopath! I have seen Taras twice for neck and back pain after pregnancy. He is very good for diagnosis, does very soft manipulations, and gave me exercises to do at home to reeducate in the long term. I think he also helps me to be aware of having a good posture in everyday life, which is not always automatic with two kids in HK! In addition to his professionalism, Taras is also very nice and makes people comfortable. I was with my baby and he has also very good contact with them. Don't hesitate to see him!
Aude F
My savior! I woke up with extremely violent muscle spasms in my lower back, (after a long flight the day before) Taras agreed to take me after hours and worked very thoroughly, slowly, explaining what was happening at each step. He predicted a recovery 24 hours after the treatment, and sure enough, he was right!

FAQ’s

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. By using techniques like stretching, massaging, and mobilizing muscles and joints, osteopaths aim to improve overall health and well-being. This practice emphasizes the body’s ability to heal itself and seeks to address the root causes of pain and discomfort

During your first osteopathy session, your osteopath will take a detailed medical history and discuss your symptoms. This is followed by a physical examination to assess your posture, mobility, and any areas of discomfort. Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan will be created, which may include hands-on techniques like stretching, massage, and joint manipulation. The goal is to understand the root cause of your issues and start you on the path to recovery

Yes, osteopathy is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and registered osteopath. It is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that focuses on improving the body’s natural healing processes. Osteopaths are trained to recognize conditions that may require medical referral, ensuring that you receive the appropriate care. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns before starting treatment

Osteopathic treatment is generally safe, but some patients may experience mild side effects. These can include slight soreness in the treated area, mild headaches, or tiredness, which usually resolve within a couple of days. Always discuss any concerns with your osteopath before starting treatment

The number of osteopathic sessions you’ll need depends on your specific condition and individual response to treatment. Some patients experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment for chronic issues. Your osteopath will discuss a tailored treatment plan with you during your initial consultation, including the expected number of sessions and frequency of visits

Many insurance plans in Hong Kong cover osteopathy, but you may need a referral from your general practitioner. It’s important to check with your specific insurance provider to understand the details of your coverage, including any necessary documentation or pre-approvals

In Hong Kong, a referral from a doctor is not always required to see an osteopath. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage purposes. It’s best to check with your insurance provider and consult with your healthcare professional to ensure you meet any requirements

For your appointment, wear loose, comfortable clothing. Sports clothes are usually a nice fit
