Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues, focusing on pain relief and improved mobility. Our tailored treatments address back pain, sports injuries, and postural problems through joint manipulation, soft tissue massage, and exercise advice. With a holistic approach, we aim to resolve root causes and support long-term wellbeing for adults, children, and infants.
Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture targets muscle tension and pain using ultra-fine needles to stimulate healing. This evidence-based therapy reduces inflammation, enhances circulation, and alleviates conditions like sciatica and headaches. Combined with cupping therapy, it offers effective, drug-free pain management for chronic or acute injuries, improving mobility and recovery.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy employs suction to relieve muscle stiffness, boost circulation, and promote relaxation. By targeting myofascial trigger points, it aids recovery from sports injuries and chronic pain. Our clinic uses modern plastic cups for safe, controlled treatments, often combined with acupuncture for enhanced results in managing arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle tension.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic energy to treat tendon pain and accelerate healing. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendinopathy, it reduces pain and restores function without surgery. This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow and tissue repair, offering rapid relief for chronic or acute musculoskeletal conditions.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy uses subtle techniques to address issues in infants and children, such as colic, feeding difficulties, and sleep disturbances. By gently manipulating cranial bones, we alleviate tension and support neurological development. Parents report improved calmness and concentration in children, with advice on home exercises to complement treatment.
