Helping people overcome pain, restore movement and return confidently to the activities they enjoy through evidence-based osteopathy, rehabilitation and collaborative healthcare.
Adrian believes effective healthcare begins with listening. Every patient has a different story, lifestyle and reason for seeking treatment, which is why care should never follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rather than focusing solely on where pain is felt, Adrian takes time to understand the wider picture, how symptoms developed, how the body is moving, what may be contributing to the problem and, importantly, what the patient wants to get back to doing.
His approach combines osteopathic assessment and hands-on treatment with rehabilitation, movement education and personalised advice, helping patients understand their condition and take an active role in their recovery.
Treatment may involve a combination of manual therapy, joint mobilisation or manipulation, soft tissue techniques, medical acupuncture or dry needling, cupping and exercise rehabilitation. The techniques used are always selected according to the individual, their clinical findings, preferences and goals.
Where further investigation or another healthcare professional may be better placed to help, Adrian also works alongside a trusted network of healthcare providers across Manchester to help patients access appropriate additional care.
Ultimately, the aim extends beyond simply reducing pain. To help people understand their bodies, restore confidence in movement and return to the activities that matter to them.
Discover how our approach combines personalised osteopathic treatment, rehabilitation and patient education to help people overcome pain, restore movement and recover with confidence.
Adrian’s career in health and movement began before qualifying as an osteopath. Starting as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, he developed an early understanding of exercise, movement and physical performance while working with people of different ages, abilities and fitness levels.
His growing interest in helping people experiencing pain and injury led him to undertake four years of professional training at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in London, completing a Master’s Degree in Osteopathic Medicine (M.Ost) alongside a Diploma in Naturopathy (ND) in 2016.
Since qualifying, Adrian has built extensive clinical experience assessing and treating a diverse range of musculoskeletal conditions, from everyday neck and back pain to sports injuries, persistent pain and more complex presentations.
His background in both osteopathy and physical rehabilitation has shaped an approach that combines hands-on treatment with movement, exercise and patient education, helping people not only manage their symptoms but understand how to support their recovery beyond the treatment room.

Adrian’s clinical work focuses primarily on musculoskeletal pain, injury rehabilitation and movement-related problems, combining osteopathic assessment and hands-on treatment with rehabilitation and patient education.
His experience spans both acute and persistent presentations, from everyday neck and back pain to sports injuries and conditions affecting a person’s ability to work, exercise or move comfortably.
Areas of particular clinical interest include:
Professional and recreational athletes including footballers, UFC fighters, tennis players, golfers, runners, gym-goers and fitness competitors, with treatment focused on injury recovery, movement and return to activity.
Office-based professionals experiencing neck and back pain, postural discomfort, headaches and work-related musculoskeletal problems, particularly those spending prolonged periods sitting or working at a desk.

From returning after injury to preparing for the demands of sport and exercise, discover how personalised rehabilitation can support recovery, movement and long-term performance.
Adrian’s clinical experience has extended into professional sporting environments, working with athletes whose bodies are exposed to the demands of training, competition, recovery and performance.
ðū International Tennis
Adrian worked as a team therapist with the Canadian Tennis Team during the Davis Cup in Manchester, supporting professional athletes within an international competition environment.
ðĨ Professional Combat Sports
Adrian has also worked with professional UFC athletes, providing hands-on treatment and musculoskeletal care to support recovery, movement and the physical demands of elite combat sport.
These experiences complement Adrian’s work with recreational athletes and active individuals, where the same principles of careful assessment, individualised treatment and progressive rehabilitation remain central to care.
Throughout his career, Adrian has had the opportunity to work with an exceptionally diverse range of patients, from people experiencing everyday aches, workplace-related problems and persistent pain to professional athletes competing at the highest levels of their sport.
This breadth of experience has reinforced an important principle within his approach: every patient is an individual. Whether helping someone return comfortably to work, supporting a new parent, treating an older adult or working with an elite athlete, assessment and treatment should reflect the demands of that person’s life.
Adrian’s clinical experience has included working with:
Adrian’s approach extends beyond hands-on treatment. Depending on the individual, care may incorporate exercise rehabilitation, mobility work, strengthening, movement education and lifestyle advice to help patients become more confident managing their health and returning to the activities that matter to them.

Working with hip, knee, ankle, foot and tendon-related problems, including injuries associated with running, gym training and other forms of physical activity.
After years of working with patients across different clinical and rehabilitation settings, Adrian wanted to create an environment where care extended beyond simply treating symptoms.
Corrective Pain Relief was founded around a simple principle: take the time to understand the individual, identify the factors contributing to their problem and provide the right combination of treatment, rehabilitation and guidance to help them move forward.
Adrian’s background in osteopathy, personal training and physical rehabilitation shaped this approach. He had seen first-hand that hands-on treatment could be extremely valuable, but also recognised that long-term recovery often requires more, understanding movement, developing strength and mobility, building confidence and giving patients the knowledge to take an active role in their own health.
This became the foundation of Corrective Pain Relief.
Adrian’s background in personal training also influences his approach to rehabilitation and his relationships with personal trainers and fitness professionals across Manchester.
The aim of the clinic is not to create dependency on treatment.
Instead, Adrian wants patients to understand:
What may be contributing to their symptoms.
What they can do to support their recovery.
How they can gradually return to the activities they enjoy.
For some people, that might mean returning to work without persistent discomfort. For others, it could mean running again, getting back into the gym, preparing for a sporting event or simply being able to move through everyday life with greater confidence.
Whatever the goal, care is built around the individual rather than a predetermined treatment formula.
Understand the problem, reduce symptoms and create the foundations for recovery.
Restore mobility, strength and confidence through treatment and progressive rehabilitation.
Move beyond recovery towards long-term health, resilience and the activities that make life enjoyable.
These principles continue to shape how Corrective Pain Relief approaches patient care today.

Alongside his clinical career, Adrian has extensive experience in education, mentoring and professional development within the health and fitness industry.
As a mentor and assessor for personal training qualifications, he has supported hundreds of aspiring fitness professionals through classroom teaching, practical assessment and one-to-one coaching.
This experience required more than demonstrating exercises. It involved helping students develop an understanding of movement, exercise prescription, communication, professional standards and how to adapt their approach to the individual in front of them.
Adrian’s experience as an educator continues to influence the way he works as an osteopath today.
Rather than simply providing treatment, he believes patients should understand their condition, the reasoning behind their treatment plan and the steps they can take to support their own recovery.
Good healthcare shouldn’t just provide treatment. It should give people the knowledge and confidence to take an active role in their own health.
Healthcare is personal, and Adrian believes the relationship between practitioner and patient matters. Away from the treatment room, many of the interests that shape his approach to healthcare are also part of his own everyday life.
Movement, family, community and maintaining a balanced lifestyle remain important to him both personally and professionally.
Sport and physical activity have been part of Adrian’s life from an early age, beginning with swimming, cricket and rugby before developing into a broader interest in health, fitness and human movement.
Over the years, his own training has included strength training, running, padel, swimming, yoga, calisthenics, bouldering and functional fitness. This experience continues to influence his understanding of movement, rehabilitation and the physical demands involved in returning to training following injury.
Following his Master’s degree, Adrian competed in fitness modelling and bodybuilding, earning professional cards with Miami Pro and Pure Elite. More recently, his competitive interests have included HYROX, combining strength, endurance and functional fitness.
Experiencing training, competition, injury and recovery personally has helped give Adrian an appreciation for something many patients understand well: being able to return to the activities you enjoy can be just as important as simply becoming pain-free.
Being able to move confidently isn’t just about physical health, it allows us to continue doing the things that make life enjoyable.
Whether you’re returning from injury, getting back into training or working towards your next performance goal, discover how personalised rehabilitation can support movement, recovery and long-term resilience.
Born in Australia and raised in West London, Adrian has family connections across both the UK and Australia.
Family remains an important part of his life, and travelling and spending time with the people closest to him provides a valuable balance to the demands of clinical practice.
His background and experiences across different places and communities have also contributed to the open, approachable style he brings to patient care.
Adrian is a proud dog-uncle to Ebony, an energetic Yorkipoo, and has always been an animal lover. Four-legged visitors to the clinic may even discover that there are occasionally dog treats waiting for them too.
Since making Manchester home, Adrian has become increasingly involved in the city’s active and professional communities.
From healthcare and fitness to sport, local businesses and community connections, he values building genuine relationships with the people and organisations around him, something that has also influenced the collaborative approach behind Corrective Pain Relief.
Adrian believes good healthcare also means recognising when a patient may benefit from another professional’s expertise.
While many musculoskeletal problems can be assessed and managed through osteopathic treatment and rehabilitation, there are occasions where diagnostic imaging, medical assessment, physiotherapy or specialist intervention may provide valuable additional information or support.
Rather than viewing different healthcare professions in isolation, Adrian believes the best outcomes can often come from professionals working collaboratively, with the patient’s needs remaining at the centre of every decision.
Through Corrective Pain Relief, Adrian has developed relationships with healthcare professionals and providers across Manchester, creating trusted pathways for patients who may require additional investigation, treatment or specialist input.

Yes. Adrian Michael Lee is a registered osteopath with a Master’s Degree in Osteopathic Medicine from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his four-year osteopathic training in 2016 and is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) to practise osteopathy in the UK.
Adrian has worked within health, fitness and rehabilitation for more than a decade, beginning his career in personal training and fitness before qualifying as an osteopath in 2016.
His experience spans everyday musculoskeletal problems, sports injuries, rehabilitation and professional sporting environments, alongside working with patients across a wide range of ages and activity levels.
Adrian commonly assesses and treats musculoskeletal problems including lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, TMJ and jaw pain, shoulder problems, joint and muscle pain, sports injuries and movement-related complaints.
Treatment always begins with an individual assessment to determine what may be contributing to the symptoms and whether osteopathic care is appropriate.
No. While Adrian has considerable experience working with athletes and active individuals, the majority of osteopathic care is relevant to people from many different backgrounds.
Patients may seek help with work-related pain, persistent stiffness, everyday injuries, mobility problems or simply returning comfortably to the activities they enjoy.
Yes. You do not normally need a GP referral to arrange a private osteopathy appointment. You can book directly with Adrian at Corrective Pain Relief in Manchester City Centre.
If you’re using private medical insurance, it’s worth checking the requirements of your individual policy before booking, as authorisation and appointment requirements can vary between insurers.
Treatment is tailored to the individual rather than based around one particular technique.
Depending on the assessment findings, preferences and goals, Adrian may use osteopathic manual therapy, joint mobilisation or manipulation, soft tissue techniques, medical acupuncture or dry needling, cupping, exercise rehabilitation and movement advice.
Not every technique is appropriate or necessary for every patient.
No. Joint manipulation is only one of several techniques that may be used during osteopathic treatment.
Treatment decisions are based on your assessment, clinical presentation, preferences and goals. If a particular technique isn’t appropriate or you would prefer not to receive it, alternative approaches can be considered.
Yes. Where clinically appropriate, Corrective Pain Relief has referral pathways for MRI, ultrasound and X-ray imaging, alongside relationships with other healthcare professionals and musculoskeletal specialists across Manchester.
