Osteopathy at Bedale Osteopaths involves hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, using techniques like joint mobilisation and soft tissue manipulation. Our practitioners address back pain, sports injuries, and postural issues through individualised care plans. With postgraduate training in cranial and paediatric osteopathy, our team provides safe treatment for all ages, combining traditional methods with modern pain science education.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture service uses Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to treat pain conditions, stress, and digestive issues through strategic needle placement. With 20 years' NHS experience, Nicola Rawstron provides tailored sessions incorporating acupressure alternatives for needle-phobic patients. Treatments may include moxibustion and cupping, with follow-up plans addressing diet and lifestyle factors for sustained benefits.
Massage Therapy
Helen Storey's massage therapy combines remedial techniques with Indian head massage to relieve muscle tension and stress-related conditions. Treatments address sports recovery, pregnancy-related discomfort, and chronic pain through tailored approaches. The service includes lymphatic drainage for immune support and reflexology for holistic wellbeing, with adaptations for individual patient needs and accessibility requirements.
Nutritional Therapy
Nicola Rawstron's nutritional therapy offers practical guidance on optimising diet for general health, exercise performance, and medical conditions. The service includes food diary analysis and personalised meal planning, integrating with acupuncture treatments for comprehensive care. With formal qualifications in pathology and haematology, Nicola provides evidence-based advice on macronutrient balance and supplement use.
Chronic Pain Management
Specialist chronic pain programmes combine osteopathic treatment with graded motor imagery techniques to address long-term conditions.
