🦴 The History of Cram Osteopaths
Feb 10, 2026
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.

'Brilliant I absolutely love it! I feel so much better getting ready in the morning and I don't feel as tired or sore at the end of the day'

What does shockwave therapy treat?
Oct 18, 2023
Shockwave therapy is specifically designed to tackle those persistent, nagging tendon injuries that just don't seem to go away. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, jumper's knee, trochanteric fasciitis, shoulder tendonopathies, calcific tendonitis, Achilles tendonopathy, tennis elbow, and golfer's elbow fall into this category. They can be incredibly stubborn and resistant to conventional treatments as they progress into chronic phases.
If you've exhausted all your options, from exercises to hands-on treatments, steroid injections, or even tried things like GTM patches, and you're still grappling with discomfort and pain, then shockwave therapy might be the solution you've been searching for.
Here at Cram Osteopaths, we specialize in focused and radial shockwave therapy, and it's available at all our locations. If you're intrigued by this treatment and still battling pain and discomfort, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd be thrilled to assist you on your path to recov
...Do Osteopaths only treat backs?
Sep 20, 2023
Wondering if osteopaths only deal with back problems? Well, the answer is a resounding NO! We're here to help you with more than just your back pain.
Osteopaths look at all the joints in your body that might be causing you trouble, whether it's related to your back or not.
For instance, you might be experiencing those pesky pins and needles shooting down your arm – that could be linked to your neck! Or perhaps you're dealing with a nagging shoulder, tennis elbow, or carpal tunnel syndrome? No worries, our skilled osteopaths can definitely address those issues too! And don't forget about your lower limbs – all sorts of problems can arise that aren't directly connected to your back.
So, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Give us a call, and our fantastic team will have a friendly chat with you to see if a consultation is the right step for you. Let's get you feeling better, sooner rather than later!
