Startline’s founder, Joss grew up in Reigate and began his career as an Osteopath out of a passion for sport and exercise. From hockey and surfing, to climbing and judo, movement has always been an integral part of his life. But it was working with people of all ages, from children to active professionals, that showed him how powerful recovery could be when it’s approached with the right support, structure and mindset. Everyone can benefit from this approach to health – parents, professionals and athletes alike.
That’s why he founded Startline in 2019. To deliver expert osteopathy and physiotherapy, tailored rehab delivered with clear and honest communication. He’s keen to give his patients the tools, knowledge and motivation to move better and feel stronger for the long run.
As well as clinically directing Startline, Joss has previously worked as a senior practitioner within the NHS, working alongside the physiotherapy team to offer specialist musculoskeletal care to patients at Horsham Hospital.

A passionate equestrian from a young age, Mia’s interest in chiropractic was sparked by her own experiences with treatment for riding-related injuries as early as age 10. This early appreciation for the discipline’s impact on performance and recovery, combined with her involvement in various sports, fueled her dedication to sports injury management and athlete care.
Mia specialises in the gentle, holistic McTimoney technique, which stimulates the nervous system to promote optimal alignment, mobility, and whole-body performance. She integrates soft tissue therapy into her sessions, recognising the interconnected role of the nervous system, muscular structure, and joints.
Her athlete-centered approach focuses on restoring movement, building strength, enhancing resilience, and supporting clients in achieving their personal goals. Rooted in performance optimisation and long-term well-being, Mia helps individuals not only recover from injury but also elevate their physical capabilities, enabling confident returns to training, competition, and daily life.

Joss Barratt is a magician with a magical touch! I was in a lot of discomfort, but after the session, I felt so much better—like the pain wasn’t even there anymore! Really grateful for the treatment. Fingers crossed it stays this way, but I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if needed. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Brilliant osteopath, I couldn’t recommend more. They took the time to explain everything in a simple way to make sure I understood what was wrong, what had happened and what I needed to do to get back on my feet. I would definitely recommend going here for treatment.Posted on Google![]()

I went to Joss with a really stiff, sore and extremely painful neck. He knew exactly what to do and was so kind and empathetic. I left his practice feeling so much better and was 100 % better 2 days later. It's been over a month now and the pain hasn't returned. He also gave me some stretched to do which really helped. I highly recommend himPosted on Google![]()

I’ve struggled with back pain for over a year now and after just two sessions with Elsa, I’ve seen a massive improvement. No longer struggle with back pain. I now just go for maintenance. Very friendly and professional. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.Posted on Google![]()

I would highly recommend Pura Vida. Out of nowhere I suddenly started suffering serve neck pain to the extent I wasn't able to sleep. Joss was able to alleviate the pain after one session and then sort the neck issue after a few more visits. Joss is very knowledgeable about his area and has a very nice manner.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
