Services
Lower Back Pain
Our osteopathic approach to lower back pain combines spinal manipulation with soft tissue techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. We address underlying causes through postural assessment and tailored exercise programmes. Treatment focuses on restoring natural movement patterns while providing immediate pain relief through gentle manual therapy.
Knee Pain
Specialised knee pain treatment involves biomechanical assessment and targeted joint mobilisation techniques. We address muscle imbalances and gait abnormalities contributing to knee discomfort. Treatment plans include rehabilitation exercises to strengthen supporting structures and prevent recurrence of symptoms.
Sports Injuries
Our sports injury management combines acute injury care with long-term rehabilitation strategies. We use soft tissue techniques and joint mobilisation to accelerate healing while developing personalised recovery programmes. Treatment focuses on restoring full function through progressive strengthening and movement re-education.
Neck Pain
Neck pain treatment employs gentle mobilisation techniques and cranial approaches to relieve tension headaches and cervical stiffness. We address postural imbalances through ergonomic advice and prescribe specific exercises to improve neck mobility and reduce discomfort.
Fibromyalgia
Our approach to fibromyalgia management combines gentle osteopathic techniques with lifestyle modification strategies. We focus on improving sleep quality, reducing tender point sensitivity, and enhancing overall mobility through carefully graded treatment plans tailored to individual symptom patterns.
