Osteopathy
Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. Our practitioners address back pain, joint issues, and posture problems through spinal manipulation and soft tissue work. Treatment plans consider whole-body health, incorporating exercise advice and lifestyle recommendations for long-term wellness.
Podiatry
Our podiatry service addresses foot and lower limb conditions including corns, calluses, and sports injuries. We provide biomechanical assessments, orthotic prescriptions, and specialist care for diabetic foot health. Treatments include nail care, skin treatments, and gait analysis to improve mobility and comfort.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy employs subtle techniques to treat headaches, migraines, and postural strain. This approach works with the body's natural rhythms to relieve tension and improve fluid circulation. Particularly beneficial for stress-related conditions and recovery from head injuries.
Visceral Osteopathy
Visceral osteopathy addresses restrictions in organ mobility that may cause discomfort. Using gentle manual techniques, we treat digestive issues and post-surgical adhesions. This approach improves organ function and reduces pain from structural imbalances affecting internal systems.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy combines joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques for musculoskeletal pain relief. Effective for acute injuries and chronic conditions, this approach improves range of motion and reduces inflammation. Sessions include postural advice to prevent recurrence of symptoms.
