Osteopathy:

Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy. By treating your joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves we enable your body to function effectively and without pain.
Your treatment could involve hands-on manipulation of joints, bones, ligaments, connective tissue, muscle and tendons, cranial osteopathy and acupuncture. It may also include nutritional advice, remedial exercises and relaxation techniques.
Osteopathy can help with the following conditions:

• Back and neck: Sciatica, ‘slipped’ discs, whiplash injury, muscle and ligament strains, stiffness
• Joints: Arthritis, joint hyper-mobility, joint sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder
• Sports injuries: Muscle strains/tears, tendinitis, ‘golfers/tennis’ elbow
• Infant and children’s health: Colic, reflux, feeding problems, crying, sleeping disorders
• Headaches and migraine
• Postural problems
• Respiratory problems: Sinusitis, asthma
• Work-related injuries: Repetitive strain injuries, ergonomic problems
• Digestive problems

Cranial Osteopathy:

Cranial Osteopaths are trained to feel your cranial rhythm - a very subtle change in shape of your body tissues. Using very gentle manipulative pressure, your Cranial Osteopath will encourage the release of physical and emotional stress throughout your body.

Cranial Osteopathy is extremely effective in treating a wide range of conditions whatever your age:

Expectant mothers experiencing low back and leg pain, tension in the neck and shoulders, headaches, Pubis Symphysis Disorder, nausea, indigestion, heartburn, varicose veins and swollen legs.

Babies who cry excessively, are very fractious, have feeding difficulties, sickness, colic, wind, sleep disturbances, constipation, infections and are teething.

Children and teenagers who have chest infections, glue ear, sinus or breathing problems, behavioural problems, hyperactivity, headaches, aches and pains, asthma and eczema.

Older people who may be suffering from osteoporosis, arthritic conditions, muscle strains and sprains.

Myofascial/Western Acupuncture:

Acupuncture originated in China, where it is used to relieve pain and treat diseases. Western acupuncture is an extremely useful addition to osteopathy in treating problems with muscles, bones, joints and connective tissue. It is very effective in treating acute injuries and chronic degenerative conditions.

How Does It Work?

By inserting fine needles into specific areas, we can stimulate the release of your body’s own natural painkillers. This helps to provide the best environment for your body’s own healing response, helping to restore its natural balance.

Monthly Maintenance Sessions

Monthly maintenance sessions will help to maintain increased mobility and lessen the recurrence of symptoms. They can also be helpful for pain relief in chronic conditions, and to halt the progression of arthritis.
