Norman Cram The Beginning 1946

Cram Osteopaths was founded in 1946 by Norman Cram, at a time when osteopathy was still relatively unknown in Scotland.

Norman established the practice with a clear philosophy:
to treat patients thoroughly, honestly, and with respect for how the whole body functions as a unit.

Working in post war Britain, he treated many people whose livelihoods depended on physical work and who required practical, hands on care to restore movement and function.

From its earliest days, the practice built a strong reputation through results and word of mouth. Norman’s approach was calm, methodical and patient focused, values that became embedded in the clinic and continue to influence how care is delivered today.

What he created was not simply a clinic, but a standard:
careful assessment, thoughtful treatment, and long term responsibility to patients and community.

When our patient first came to see Alex at Cram Osteopaths they were struggling with lower back pain and pins and needles in their feet – enough to keep them off the tennis court and out of the gym.

Fast forward through a carefully planned course of treatment, and you’ll see the transformation in this video:
✅ Thorough diagnosis and assessment
✅ Step-by-step treatment tailored to their needs
✅ Return to pain-free movement

Today, they’re back to feeling normal, back on court, and back in the gym.

When John first came to Cram Osteopaths, he was experiencing persistent shoulder pain that was limiting his day-to-day activities. Following a detailed assessment, our team recommended a tailored plan combining osteopathy and shockwave therapy to relieve discomfort, improve mobility and support recovery.

The results spoke for themselves. As his shoulder improved, John felt confident enough to address a separate issue with knee pain. Using the same patient-centred approach, we developed a treatment plan to help restore strength and movement in his knee as well.

Stories like John’s are why we do what we do. Seeing patients leave with less pain, greater freedom of movement and renewed confidence is at the heart of our practice.

If you’re living with pain or stiffness, our experienced team is here to help you move better and feel stronger.
