Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy programme combines traditional hands-on techniques with modern rehabilitation methods to treat musculoskeletal conditions. We address back pain, neck pain, joint issues and sports injuries through personalised treatment plans. Our practitioners use spinal manipulation, soft tissue work and exercise prescription to improve mobility and reduce pain.
IDD Therapy
This non-surgical treatment targets disc-related conditions using computer-controlled traction to relieve pressure on spinal discs. Effective for herniated discs, sciatica and spinal stenosis, the therapy promotes natural healing through targeted decompression. Each session lasts approximately 25-30 minutes with treatment courses typically spanning 4-6 weeks.
Shockwave Therapy
A non-invasive treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing. Particularly effective for tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and sports injuries, it accelerates tissue repair and reduces inflammation. Most patients experience improvement after 3-5 sessions spaced weekly.
Sports Massage
Deep tissue massage techniques tailored for sports-related injuries and muscle tension. This treatment improves circulation, reduces recovery time and prevents future injuries through targeted soft tissue manipulation. Sessions include postural analysis and stretching advice for optimal performance.
Chronic Pain Management
Comprehensive approach to managing persistent musculoskeletal conditions combining osteopathic treatment, rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle advice. We specialise in helping patients with long-standing back pain, nerve-related issues and degenerative conditions through structured treatment programmes and self-management strategies.
