Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment, which is a safe and natural approach to healthcare. It focuses on the musculoskeletal system, the bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues and how this inter-relates to the body as a whole. Our treatments are, individually tailored towards each patient and diagnosis is carried out through discussion, observation and touch. Gentle stretching and mobilising techniques, as well as joint manipulation, are used to help facilitate healing. It is a requirement for osteopaths to register with the General Osteopathic Council.
Who do you treat?
Our patients range from children (10+) to older adults, athletes to weekend warriors. Conditions treated may include joint pain, back problems, neck pain, frozen shoulders, sports injuries, arthritic pains, osteoarthritis and much more. We treat using traditional structural and sports massage.
How can osteopathy help you?
Many conditions may benefit from osteopathic treatment. However, you do not need to be in pain to visit an osteopath. You may require postural alignment due to imbalances caused by either recreational or occupational activities, or even to release tension that has built up in your body as a consequence of stress. If symptoms persist, we can refer you to your GP or for a private x-ray or scan.
