Osteopathy

Our practice provides a friendly & professional osteopathic healthcare service, giving relief from pain & debilitation. We provide tailor-made treatment programmes for a broad range of individuals - from office workers to professional sportsmen, from children to the elderly, in order to get you back to being fully functional & pain-free as quickly as possible.

Our Osteopaths work with their hands to improve the health & function of the body's musculo-skeletal system- the joints, muscles & ligaments. Rather than just treating the area that is symptomatic, we search for the underlying cause of the problem. This may be well away from the area giving pain, & once addressed will reduce the chance of the condition recurring.

We use specific joint manipulations, gentle articulation & soft- tissue massage to improve mobility & relieve pain. Conditions which can be treated by an Osteopath are:

• Low back pain
• Sciatica
• Neck pain / tension
• Sports injuries
• Joint pain / stiffness
• Repetitive strain injury
• Frozen shoulder
• Tennis / golfer's elbow
• Foot & ankle conditions
• Symptoms of arthritis
• ..and much more

In addition, osteopathy is a successful form of treatment for some more constitutional problems such as headaches, asthma and digestive complaints, the underlying cause of which often lies in the posture and mechanics of the body's framework.
