Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at Crista Galli focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders through hands-on techniques. Our practitioners address back pain, joint issues, and postural imbalances by restoring structural integrity. Patients benefit from improved mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced bodily function through tailored treatment plans that consider individual medical histories and lifestyle factors.
Cranial Osteopathy
Specialised cranial osteopathy involves gentle manipulation of skull bones and sacral regions to relieve tension and improve fluid circulation. This technique particularly benefits infants with birth trauma, adults with migraines, and patients recovering from head injuries. Our practitioners use subtle palpation to detect restrictions, promoting natural healing processes and nervous system regulation through precise, low-force interventions.
Maternity Care
Our maternity services address postural changes and physical stresses during pregnancy through adapted osteopathic techniques. Treatment alleviates back pain, sciatica, and circulatory issues while preparing the body for childbirth. Postnatal care supports recovery from birth strains, helping mothers regain core strength and pelvic stability while addressing common postpartum discomforts through gentle, safe interventions.
Paediatric Treatment
Paediatric osteopathy treats infants and children for birth trauma, developmental delays, and musculoskeletal conditions. Gentle techniques address plagiocephaly, feeding difficulties, and growth-related pains while supporting nervous system maturation. Our approach considers childhood injuries and their potential long-term impacts, promoting optimal physical development and functional improvement through non-invasive manual therapy.
Postural Rehabilitation
Postural rehabilitation addresses chronic pain from poor workplace ergonomics and lifestyle habits through structural assessment and corrective techniques. Practitioners identify compensatory patterns causing joint strain, providing personalised advice on workspace setup and movement patterns. Treatment combines manual therapy with targeted exercises to restore balanced biomechanics and prevent recurring musculoskeletal issues.
