# Myofascial Osteopathy – Mike O'Connor
Mike O'Connor is a UK registered Osteopath (registration number 9954) offering specialised myofascial release and neuro-functional treatment across four London locations: Belgravia, Marylebone, Richmond, and Crystal Palace.
Mike combines advanced Myofascial Release techniques with Neuro-Functional and Visceral Osteopathic approaches to address chronic pain, musculoskeletal dysfunction, and post-partum recovery. His evidence-informed, patient-centred practice goes beyond traditional osteopathy by treating fascial restrictions—the connective tissue systems throughout the body that often hold years of physical and emotional tension. By working through different tissue layers, he helps release restrictions that conventional manual therapy frequently misses.
What sets Mike apart is his integrated, multi-layered approach. He assesses muscle imbalances and firing pattern disorders using NeuroKinetic Therapy and Douglas Heel's BeActivated methods, recognising that faulty movement patterns often underlie persistent pain. He's also trained in Visceral Manipulation via the Barral Institute, working directly with organ motility and mobility to address both internal dysfunction and referred musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, his Functional Medicine training allows him to consider systemic factors—diet, lifestyle, and underlying health triggers—rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
This combination creates a neuroplastic, sensory-feedback-based approach where treatment helps your brain relearn optimal movement patterns and function. Mike's methodology represents osteopathy reimagined for complex, treatment-resistant cases.
