As an English-speaking osteopath in Gdańsk, I offer a range of complementary therapies designed to support your health, ease pain, and improve your overall movement and wellbeing. All services are delivered entirely in English, making them accessible to international residents, and the English-speaking community across the Trójmiasto region, including Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia.
In-person appointments are available every Thursday at FizjoTeam Fizjoterapia in Gdańsk. Online sessions for osteopathy, Pilates and somatic movement therapy are available throughout the week and can be booked online.
Osteopathy for Whole-Body Ease
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on form of healthcare that looks at how your whole body works together. Rather than focusing only on the site of pain, I consider your muscles, joints, posture, and lifestyle to understand the deeper causes of your discomfort. As a result, treatment is always personalised and tailored specifically to you. Osteopathy in Gdańsk with Edward Bateman may help with back and neck pain, joint problems, headaches, sports injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort, and age-related stiffness.
Pilates for Holistic Health & Movement
What is Pilates?
Therapeutic Pilates builds strength from the inside out through controlled, mindful movement. Unlike general fitness Pilates, sessions are guided by a clinically trained osteopath. As a result, every session is carefully adapted to your individual needs and medical history. Pilates in Gdańsk with Edward Bateman is well suited to those recovering from injury, managing back pain, or looking for a low-impact way to build strength and improve posture.
What is medical acupuncture?
Medical acupuncture is grounded in modern anatomy and physiology rather than traditional Chinese medicine. It is distinct from traditional acupuncture and is used as part of an integrated osteopathic treatment plan. Through the use of fine, sterile needles, I stimulate specific points in the muscles and nervous system to trigger the body’s natural healing responses. In turn, this can help reduce pain, ease muscle tension, and support recovery from injury.
What is Somatic Movement Therapy?
Somatic movement therapy is a gentle, body-centred approach that uses slow, mindful movements to release chronic tension and restore ease in the body. In contrast to more active forms of exercise, somatic movement focuses on the internal experience of movement rather than performance or appearance. It works directly with the nervous system to reset habitual patterns of tension and stress. Over time, this can reduce pain, improve mobility, and create a deeper sense of ease and embodiment.
What is kinesiology taping?
Kinesiology tape, known in Poland as kinesiotaping, is a stretchy elastic tape applied directly to the skin. Unlike rigid sports tape, it moves with you, so you can train, work and go about your day while wearing it. It is widely used in sport and rehabilitation alongside hands-on treatment and exercise.
