Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, and enhance circulation. This treatment addresses structural imbalances causing back pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Patients receive tailored exercises and lifestyle advice to sustain improvements and prevent recurrence.
Cranial Osteopathy
Specialised cranial osteopathy employs subtle techniques to release tensions in the skull and body. Particularly effective for infants with colic, adults with migraines, and post-natal recovery. The treatment promotes nervous system regulation and fluid dynamics to support self-healing mechanisms.
Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy-specific osteopathy addresses postural strain and pelvic imbalances during pregnancy. Gentle techniques alleviate back pain, sciatica, and joint discomfort while preparing the body for labour. Post-natal sessions restore core strength and address birth-related physical stresses.
Paediatric Treatments
Paediatric osteopathy addresses birth trauma, colic, and developmental strains in infants. Using delicate cranial techniques, treatment improves feeding difficulties, sleep patterns, and musculoskeletal alignment. Sessions support neurological development and comfort for growing children.
Dry Needling
Dry needling integrates Western medical acupuncture with osteopathic principles. Thin needles target muscle trigger points to relieve chronic pain and inflammation. This evidence-based technique complements manual therapy for conditions like tennis elbow and joint arthritis.
