Meet Jeremy Jones‑Bateman: A Holistic Approach to Osteopathy in Angel, London

When you think of osteopathy, you might picture a practitioner helping with back pain, sports injuries, or stiffness in the joints. While that’s all true, there’s something more at the heart of Jeremy Jones‑Bateman’s practice — a deep commitment to understanding the whole person, not just a set of symptoms. With years of clinical experience, a solid academic foundation, and a uniquely personal background, Jeremy offers a compassionate, person-centred approach that sets him apart in the world of osteopathic care.

From Flights to Function: A Journey to Osteopathy

Jeremy’s journey into osteopathy isn’t the typical path. His career began far from the treatment table — in the skies and on the seas, working as a flight attendant and holiday rep. At first glance, it might seem like a world away from manual therapy and musculoskeletal health, but those early roles were crucial in developing something essential: the ability to truly listen, connect, and empathise. These traits now form the cornerstone of his approach to healthcare.

“Working in tourism taught me how to communicate with people from all walks of life and to deeply understand what they need,” says Jeremy. “That still guides my clinical work today.”

This early passion for people’s wellbeing led him to retrain as a sports massage therapist. From there, his curiosity about the body and its capacity to heal naturally grew stronger, culminating in his decision to undertake a rigorous five-year course at the British School of Osteopathy (now known as the University College of Osteopathy). Upon completion, he was awarded a Bachelor of Osteopathy and now holds full registration with the General Osteopathic Council.

Clinical Expertise and Education Leadership

Jeremy blends education and clinical practice seamlessly in his dual roles. He is not only a practising osteopath but also a respected educator in the field. Currently, he is a clinic tutor and the MSc Osteopathy (pre-registration) course leader at the Health Sciences University in London. His academic work keeps him aligned with the latest research and best practices, and he regularly integrates new learnings into patient care.

“Teaching encourages me to look at osteopathy with fresh eyes,” Jeremy explains. “It ensures I’m always questioning, learning and growing in how I treat and support patients.”

Jeremy also maintains a private practice at two convenient locations in London: in Ealing at Osteopath West and in Angel at JJB Osteopath, based inside CuraRooms at 384 City Rd, London EC1V 2QA. He is available every Monday from 5pm–8pm at the Angel clinic, providing appointments that are flexible for people with busy weekday schedules.

Treatments Tailored to You

Jeremy treats a broad range of conditions and complaints with a focus on helping patients move better, feel stronger, and live without pain. His services include:

• Neck pain and back pain
• Joint pain – including hip, shoulder, and knee issues
• Postural problems – related to desk work, driving, or stress
• Arthritic and rheumatic pain
• Sports injuries and recovery support
• Muscle spasms and tension
• Headaches – including tension-type and migraines
• TMJ (jaw joint) discomfort and dysfunction
• Neurological symptoms – such as referred pain or nerve irritation

Each session with Jeremy begins with careful listening. He takes the time to understand not just where the pain is, but how it affects daily life, what might be contributing to it, and what the individual’s goals are. This thorough, person-focused consultation forms the basis of a tailored treatment plan that may include soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, stretching, lifestyle advice, and practical exercises that can be done at home.

What Makes Jeremy Different?

It’s Jeremy’s background, empathy, and continued passion for learning that make his approach stand out:

• He Listens First — With a background in tourism and healthcare, Jeremy has honed his ability to listen and build meaningful therapeutic relationships.
• Lifelong Learner — As a course leader and clinic tutor, Jeremy is always up to date with the most recent advances in osteopathic care and clinical reasoning.
• Flexible and Compassionate — Every person’s body, lifestyle, and condition is unique. Jeremy never applies a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach — instead, he treats each person as a complete individual.
• Holistic Focus — Rather than chasing single symptoms, Jeremy looks at the whole person: posture, emotional wellbeing, movement patterns, and the root causes of discomfort.

More Than Just Pain Relief

While osteopathy is often associated with relieving pain, Jeremy encourages people to think more broadly about what osteopathy can offer. Patients often report improvements in sleep, posture, energy, mobility and mental clarity after treatment. For many, sessions act as a reset — a moment to tune into their bodies and get the support they need to move forward.

Jeremy believes that good movement is foundational to good health. Whether you’re an athlete working toward peak performance or an office worker striving to sit without discomfort, the aim is always the same: to empower your body to function better and feel more at ease.

Who Is Osteopathy For?

Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages and walks of life — from those recovering from injury to those looking to prevent future problems. Jeremy regularly helps:

• Office workers suffering from tension and poor posture due to long hours at a desk
• Sports professionals and runners (Jeremy himself has completed the London Marathon twice!) looking to optimise performance and recovery
• Those living with chronic conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia
• Individuals with stress-related symptoms like headaches or jaw tension
• People fatigued by recurring musculoskeletal pain who want long-term solutions

Jeremy’s approach also includes lifestyle advice, and he works collaboratively with patients to help them find practical ways to manage or even eliminate recurrent problems. His patient-centered ethos means you feel supported and understood from the first appointment.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

The initial consultation lasts around 50 minutes and includes a detailed case history, physical assessment, and where appropriate, hands-on treatment during the same session. Jeremy explains what he’s doing every step of the way and welcomes questions. His calm, approachable manner puts even nervous patients at ease.

Follow-up appointments are 35 minutes long and are focused on continuing your treatment plan, reassessing progress, and making any necessary adjustments. Jeremy believes that active participation in your own healing journey is fundamental and will often give you advice or exercises to do between visits.

Complement Your Treatment with Sports Massage

In addition to osteopathy, Jeremy offers 60-minute sports massage sessions. These are particularly effective for relieving muscle tightness, promoting circulation, and speeding up recovery time for active individuals. Sports massage is suitable not only for athletes but for anyone looking to relieve general tension or improve mobility under Jeremy’s expert touch.
