John Stewart Osteopaths
John Stewart (BSc Hons Ost.) had a practice known as ‘John Stewart Osteopaths’ for 12 years in Kings Hill prior to merging to Future Proof Care in 2019. He is the Senior Practitioner within the Practice.
Education and Training
John graduated with an honours degree in Osteopathy from the European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Kent in 1999. He has accumulated over 20 years experience in multiple practices, helping people recover from injuries and stresses.
John was inspired to become an Osteopath following a 60MPH motorbike accident, causing him to slide 100 yards from his bike on impact. Following months of neck and back pain, he fully regained function with the help of an Osteopath. John knows what it is like to have suffered and is therefore able to transfer this understanding to those who present with injuries.
John’s days are spent helping, educating and adjusting those within our community, so they can live a happier and healthier life. He uses Osteopath techniques such as Balanced Ligamentous Tension techniques, Manipulative Therapy and Dry Needling allowing him to adapt his skills to patient’s presentation.
John is registered with all major insurance companies except Bupa.
- jacky nott09/06/2024John at Future Proof Care came highly recommended and I can see why. I was a bit nervous but made to feel very comfortable. After that first session the constant headaches I was getting had disappeared and after a couple more, my shoulder had full movement. There is no pressure to book sessions. The whole experience was 5 star. Thank you John.read moreread lessCharlotte Wellbs21/09/2023I’ve been going to Future Proof Care for over 10 years because the treatment from John is so fantastic I’ve never found the need to go anywhere else! You can always expect excellent treatment and service everytime. Really grateful for all the hard work John has done over the years to keep me healthy and active in my sports and everyday life.read moreread lessLynellen21/09/2023A big shout-out to John Stewart – After suffering 20+ years of neck/back/hip/knee pain/stiffness sustained from old sporting injuries/operation and now old age 57, ok not that old, I’ve finally surrendered to my stubborn “I’m ok, just keep going” attitude, upon experiencing, out of the blue, agonising shoulder/arm pain, my initial thoughts being an “Heart Attack”!! I jumped on-line for yet another self-diagnosis, and a few days later I was still alive, hahaha, but still hurting so guessed this to be yet another pain to add to my already long list. My pain threshold is very high and so for me to think about seeking help, I knew it was too much to ignore this time! So, on my neighbour’s recommendation I went to the Future Proof Care website and made an appointment with John. On arrival I filled out the forms but didn’t put all my injuries as far too many to remember but John patiently asked questions and we managed to build up a picture for him to start the examination and treatment. It was quite clear that there was much work for him to do, but I’m prepared to invest in his professional expertise/advice and my health. After the first visit my overall body felt loose and I could move freely, it felt wonderful, it gave me back my smile and a skip in my step, just amazing! The shoulder is work in progress and after the second treatment it feels so much better, I’m getting much more sleep; I know everything is going to be ok!! I highly recommend John; he made me feel at ease, relaxed with good chats and laughs. The care and support received is excellent and importantly I’m optimistic for the future and will be sending people his way – Thank you so much John - Lynne 🙂read moreread less
- Amanda Horn13/12/2022After years of being pain free I recently experienced severe back pain. Apprehensive about treatment I reluctantly paid John a visit. He talked me through the whole treatment, put my mind at rest and I left my first visit pain free. I would have no reservation in recommending John Stewart and Future Proof Care. They have been absolutely first class.read moreread less

- Anna Williamson30/12/2020I can’t thank John at Future Proof care enough for his help in sorting out many issues I have had with back pain, leg and foot pain and tennis elbow over the years. At Future Proof Care you are not just another patient in a long list of others but instead the time and care is taken to understand you as an individual and your needs to ensure they find the best approach to dealing with your medical issue. I can’t recommend them highly enough! A first class service from a professional and knowledgeable team.read moreread lessANNE BROOKER30/11/2020There is no question - it has to be five stars for FPC!This practice has a great ethos and cares for the well being of every client. All the staff are professional, considerate, friendly and make you feel welcome and relaxed.I see John Stewart who is an amazing practitioner and his knowledge knows no bounds. I was referred on a dental issue (my jaw kept locking - I was under particular stress at this time) and after my first appointment with John I noticed an immediate improvement - I have been pain-free for in excess of 2 years now. It came to light that my body was suffering other stress related problems and these have been treated successfully and I value the importance of regular maintenance appointments. I am very grateful that I was recommended to this practice and would highly recommend FPC. Thank you, Anneread moreread less
- Helen Nix30/11/2020I would personally like to sincerely thank John for getting me back active in a very short period of time. John is my go to whenever I return to the UK to visit family, from the Middle East to Canada. I unfortunately give him limited time to assist me and every time he somehow manages to get me back active and mobile. This time he not only relieved my debilitating acute lumbar back pain but an ankle pain/discomfort that had been bothering me for months that I hadn't reported during my clinical assessment is alleviated. A very grateful intermittent client who highly recommends this clinic and its staff.read moreread lessRWS30/11/2020I joined this practice on the recommendation of a family member currently receiving treatment there. From the outset, the welcome at reception served as benchmark for the treatment that followed. Kind, courteous, sincere and welcoming. John was quick to pinpoint the areas giving me trouble, which correlated to the areas I felt were giving me pain. The treatment was very well given, at no point did I feel any trepidation or apprehension. There was no awkwardness when being treated despite being folded, twisted and pulled in all directions. I can honestly say that the treatment was worth it. I feel much stronger in my stance, my spine feels strengthened and I’m standing straighter. Overall, my body feels much looser and no so tight and I feel more informed about what causes the problems we so often neglect. If you’re having any issues and think you need to someone, I couldn’t recommend John and Future Proof Care any higher.read moreread lessAnthony P30/11/2020Accident related injury's and after many failed attempts of physiotherapy (Many), FPC was mentioned by a colleague and I can honestly say it was the best decision I made! I made more progress with John Stewart within two sessions than the 10+ sessions in Physio and with the amazing support from John and Chidi brought me back into a positive mindset in achieving normality again. There is always an amazing positive energy in FPC and the staff there are very welcoming/ friendly and the environment is bright, warming and extremely clean. If you feel you are in need of a little help, I highly recommend. Not only are they helping people, they are genuinely changing lives!!! I want to say a huge thank you for all your help and support. 🙂read moreread less
- Stuart Sinclair30/11/2020After experiencing a year of bad back pain that went through my wholeUpper body and into my legs and taking pain meds just to get though the day a colleague suggested getting chiropractic work done and suggested John at future proof care and 6 months down the line I’ve got full mobility back and haven’t been dependant on pain killers to help me. I would seriously recommend anyone with back pain or any pain to come see John and the team. With their help I'm now able to do things that just wouldn’t have been possibly a year ago.J Ryan.read moreread lessRichard O'Kane30/11/2020I have been a patient of John Stewart's for 15 years now and in that time have gone through both complex injury/recovery treatment and routine care for a form of arthritis, with superb results. John's knowledge, experience, and innovation coupled with his lovely nature allows him to provide a first class service with a smile. Trust is of utmost importance when engaging in specialist care such as osteopathy, and I trust John and Future Proof Care implicitly.read moreread lessPamela Prior30/11/2020Future Proof Care has been amazing for me. I can finally walk with ease again 😊. I have to say it is the most professional practice and so friendly. They really make you feel at ease and explain everything you want to know. And all this at a very acceptable fee.read moreread less
- andrew goodwin30/10/2020After struggling with back issues for a number of years i asked a friend to recommend a chiropractor as he’d recently come back from an injury to continue playing racket ball.I was due to go skiing in 3 weeks and was never going to be able with the pain i was in.John squeezed me in the next day and after discussing the problem and way forward he treated me 4 times over the next 3 weeks.The improvement was amazing, i was given minor stretches to do between sessions and while away skiing.Ironically the ski season was cut short and i only got 1 day due to COVID.I have continued to be treated, once reopen and the sessions are getting further apart (now every 10 weeks).I’m able to play sport, run ( needed to lose a few according to john) and cycle.With any luck the ski season will be on and ill be fit and ready.Well worth the investment, I’m a convert and will carry on going regularly to keep age at bay.Thanks for your help and all the best for the futureproof.Goodersread moreread lessRichard Scott30/07/2020I have been seeing John on a regular basis for a number of years, but about 5 months ago in particular I had a terrible back problem to the point it was extremely painful to do anything but with John's help and care I'm back to 100%, can't recommend him enough!!!read moreread less
- Libbi Ramsden30/07/2020Upon recommendation I have been a client of John Stewart's for several years. I hold him in utmost esteem as there have been occasions when I have been barely able to walk or sit, yet he has always provided prompt appointments, listened, identified the issue and then set about correcting it. In my opinion John is able to create a great client / professional relationship whereby he can glean information that assists him in being able to maintain my healthy back. This review is much deserved and is a true reflection of John. Sean Ramsdenread moreread lessMark Phillips30/07/2020I've had excellent service and treatment from Future Proof Care.

- Tony Shaw30/07/2020Have been seeing John the osteopath at FPC for about 6 months following a ruptured disc. The whole team is fantastic warm, welcoming and flexible when you need to reschedule. John has been fantastic at getting the alignment back, helping me manage pain and generally making me more flexible (especially my dodgy knees). He has loads of techniques at his disposal, including acupuncture, recommend highly to anyone in pain.read moreread lessElizabeth Marsden30/07/2020I have been having treatment from John Stewart on and off for a few years following two slipped disc operations and each time he has given treatment that relieves the pain in my lower back and numbness in my left foot.Then 3 years ago I had a bad fall and displaced my pelvis, the pain was excruciating and my left foot was completely numb. I had difficulty walking or standing for any length of time, but John at Future Proof Care fixed it.I am now trouble free thanks to John’s expertise and a program of maintenance appointments.The clinic is so welcoming and treat you as an individual, making an appointment is easy and in an emergency they can fit you in.I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful treatment I have received to date and will continue to do so.In the distant past, I have had occasion to use oesteopaths but have never received the success rate that Future Proof Care delivers.read moreread less

- Jenny Young30/07/2019John Stewart is an excellent osteopath. He has looked after me for some years now; seeing me through some tricky times, both physically and mentally. His calm, thorough approach always puts me at ease. As well as osteopathy, I have also had acupuncture on several occasions, resulting in both procedures working well. John is very patient and understanding; particularly as after he has fixed my brokenness, he knows I will go off to my beloved Crossfit and probably damage something else!!I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Future Proof Care to anyone needing osteopathic or chiropractic treatment.read moreread lessKen Horn30/07/2019As an avid mountain biker, flexibility is necessary. John has done wonders to keep me mobile. For someone who shouldn’t be walking, I cannot recommend Future Proof Care highly enough. An honest opinion with first class treatment and they won’t rip you off. John is extremely knowledgable regarding spinal problems, he has allowed me to continue to enjoy life and I’m still on the mountain bikeread moreread lessJeff Harland30/07/2019I have been a patient of John Stewart for many years and have stayed loyal to his treatment style because of his empathetic treatments to my squash playing injuries and post op convalescences.
