I first went to see Sam after doing damage to my neck restricting movement causing quite a bit of pain. After a warm welcome from Sam we had a discussion on my life, habits, work, prior injuries and what ever I wasn't happy about and the things not working at 100%. Over the following four months Sam has worked on my life more holistically then just spotting one area and working on that. From my daily postures, seating positions, sports warm up's and movements and daily exercises to releasing built up muscle tension that was causing discomfort. Sam has a great listening ability but what I found most helpful was how he taught me about my body. Sam explained what he was doing, areas he was working on and what he could see was happening. This helped me to build a better picture of myself and gave me more motivation to complete my daily exercises as I new what to do in detail and why I was doing them. Sam is genuine and a through Osteopath who I recommend consistently to anyone I can. You are in safe and reliable hands with Sam

“I was referred to Sam Mallinson at Grey Lynn Osteopathy due to a disc injury at the top of my spine/base of my neck, which was impacting joint mobility and causing muscle stiffness. His gentle hands-on techniques which work at a deep level, have reduced all the pain and stiffness and have restored full mobility to my shoulders and neck area and my whole body seems to be functioning much better.
Sam's caring approach is warm, understanding and extremely effective and I'm very grateful for his attention and expertise.”

“I started treatments with Sam at Grey Lynn Osteopathy after bone and ligament reconstruction surgery that was required due to multiple fractures in my arm and wrist. I had a great deal of pain, very limited movement and minimal strength. I was also very cautious to undo anything from the surgery or cause further trauma (especially on the ligament reconstruction).
Sam gained my trust with his thorough knowledge and his gentle manner. My arm and wrist have improved tremendously! He also looks at the body as a whole - which most practitioners don't do. He fixed the significant pain in my shoulder due to being in plaster twice.
I've recommended Sam to all my friends and family. Definitely super important to go if you've had any injuries (and he's ACC accredited). I'll keep going for general maintenance and alignment!”
