Osteopathy
Our aim: Naturally relieve pain
Osteopathy is now recognised as an effective treatment for a wide range of painful disorders. It is a system of diagnosis and treatment which examines and corrects structural changes within the body which affect daily function.
Gentle manipulation will help ease restrictions allowing the body to perform at its optimum level. This helps to naturally relieve pain and restore function.
Advice on rehabilitation, posture, ergonomics and exercise will help to speed recovery and prevent reoccurrence of injury.
It is available to patients of all ages and each treatment is tailor made to the individual.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to consult my GP before visiting an osteopath?
Generally not. Most patients self refer without first consulting their GP.
Some private medical insurers require that you be refered for osteopathic treatment by your GP. If you are in any doubt then first check with your insurance provider.
What is osteopathy for?
Sciatica, low back, neck & shoulder pain, cervicogenic headaches, frozen or stiff shoulders, sports injuries, tennis or golfers elbow and arm pain, back pain in pregnancy, joint aches and pains, arthritic pain and stiffness.
What are our treatments?
Osteopathic treatment consists of gentle manipulation, massage or ‘soft tissue techniques’ and stretching of the muscles, ligaments and joints. Treatment is aimed at restoring function as much as possible. We also use ultrasound therapy and medical acupuncture to aid treatment outcomes.
What techniques do we use?
Osteopaths treat the whole person and take other areas of the body into consideration rather than just the area in pain. We diagnose with our case history notes, clinical examination and palpation. We treat with ‘hands on’ techniques, exercise prescription and postural rehabilitation.
What conditions do we treat?
Osteopathic treatment can help most musculoskeletal conditions. These include the common aches and pains due to strains, falls and overuse, as well as the more long-term back and neck problems.
Treatment can often alleviate the problems associated with stress and tension including cervicogenic headaches.
In essence, if there is a muscle or a joint involved it may well be amenable to osteopathic treatment.
