# St. David's Osteopathic Clinic
St. David's Osteopathic Clinic is a long-established practice in Exeter offering osteopathic treatment for pain and discomfort across all age groups. Founded in 1985 by Colin Crewdson, the clinic operates from Queen Street in the city centre with three qualified osteopaths: Paul Thompson, David Stainer-Smith, and Laura Turner.
The practice treats a diverse range of patients and conditions. They work with sports injuries, workplace and home accidents, pregnant women, and newborns recovering from birth trauma using cranial osteopathy. They also manage chronic conditions including arthritis, postural imbalances, and age-related discomfort. Their holistic approach combines immediate symptomatic relief with investigation into underlying causes, empowering patients to prevent future episodes through lifestyle advice and exercise guidance.
What distinguishes St. David's is their integrated team model—the osteopaths cross-refer cases when clinically beneficial, ensuring patients receive the most appropriate care. Their experience treating babies and children using gentle cranial techniques reflects a specialised approach rarely offered by single practitioners. The clinic maintains an exceptional 5.0-star rating across 38 reviews, reflecting consistent patient satisfaction.
Beyond clinical treatment, they actively support patients through their dedicated patient zone, offering exercise advice, stretching guidance, and educational resources. This commitment to patient education and preventative care, combined with their established reputation and multi-disciplinary team approach, makes them a comprehensive wellness destination rather than simply a pain-relief service.
