Services
Osteopathic treatment
Our osteopathic treatments use hands-on techniques like massage, joint articulation, and soft tissue manipulation to address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. We focus on improving mobility and reducing discomfort caused by injuries, postural strain, or chronic conditions. Patients receive personalised care plans incorporating exercise advice and lifestyle modifications to support long-term recovery and prevention.
Initial consultation
The initial consultation involves a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, symptoms, and physical condition. Sian conducts detailed evaluations to identify the root causes of pain, which may involve examining areas beyond the immediate site of discomfort. The session includes treatment where appropriate and concludes with clear explanations of findings and next steps.
Follow-up sessions
Follow-up sessions focus on continuing treatment plans, monitoring progress, and adjusting techniques as needed. These appointments address ongoing issues, reinforce therapeutic exercises, and ensure patients maintain improvements between visits. Sessions typically last 25-35 minutes, with emphasis on targeted interventions and patient self-management strategies.
Workplace workshops
We offer workplace workshops addressing posture, ergonomics, and injury prevention in professional settings. These sessions provide practical advice on equipment use, desk setup, and discreet exercises to alleviate work-related aches and fatigue. The interactive format encourages staff participation and knowledge sharing to create healthier work environments.
Exercise advice
Personalised exercise programmes are provided to complement treatments and promote self-management. Advice includes stretches, strengthening exercises, and movement patterns tailored to individual conditions and lifestyles. Patients receive clear instructions on proper technique and integration into daily routines to enhance recovery and prevent recurrence of musculoskeletal issues.
