Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy service provides hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. Using joint manipulation, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation exercises, we address both symptoms and underlying causes. Tailored treatment plans ensure effective pain management and long-term prevention, with referrals for MRI scans when necessary.
Back Massage
Back massage treatments focus on relieving muscle tension and improving mobility through targeted soft tissue techniques. This service addresses postural issues and chronic pain while promoting relaxation. Combined with postural advice, it forms part of comprehensive care for musculoskeletal health.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries includes joint mobilisation, taping, and tailored exercise programmes. We focus on accelerating recovery while preventing future injuries through biomechanical assessment. This service caters to both amateur and professional athletes with acute or chronic conditions.
Pain Management
Our pain management approach combines osteopathic techniques with lifestyle advice to address chronic conditions like arthritis. We offer maintenance treatments and self-help strategies to control symptoms effectively. This service prioritises long-term relief over temporary solutions through personalised care plans.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage promotes relaxation and improves circulation through rhythmic stroking and kneading techniques. This service complements osteopathic treatment by reducing muscle tension and stress. Regular sessions help maintain musculoskeletal health between primary treatments.

Questions
Why should I see an osteopath?
Osteopaths provide expert diagnosis and hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, with ongoing training and legal registration ensuring professional standards. Our approach often helps where other therapies have failed.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No referral is required, though some insurers may need one for coverage. We can liaise with your GP if necessary to ensure coordinated care.
Can I claim through private health insurance?
We work with major insurers like Aviva and Prudential, but check your policy details before booking. We are not registered with BUPA or AXA PPP.
What happens during the first appointment?
Your initial consultation includes a detailed case history, physical examination, diagnosis, and tailored treatment plan. Expect to discuss medical history and receive self-care advice alongside hands-on treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Acute conditions typically require 1-4 sessions, while chronic issues may need longer-term care. Maintenance treatments are available for ongoing musculoskeletal health, with no obligation to commit.
Are treatments safe?
Osteopathy is generally safe, with thorough screening to identify any contraindications. Some patients experience temporary soreness, but techniques are adapted to individual needs to ensure comfort and safety.
