What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a natural manual therapy that emphasises the role of the musculoskeletal system in health. It focuses on the importance of body mechanics and uses manipulative techniques to detect and correct faulty structure and function. When the body is balanced and efficient, just like a well-tuned engine, it will function with the minimum of wear and tear. To find out more, please visit the General Osteopathic Council website.

What Do We Treat?

We treat a wide variety of complaints, including sciatica, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, postural issues, frozen shoulders, hip & knee pain, foot pain, tennis/golfers elbow, muscle & ligament strains, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, poor biomechanics, headaches, tendonitis, and many more. We specialise in Frozen Shoulders under the Niel-Asher Technique.

Your Initial Consultation

The key to successful treatment lies in careful and accurate diagnosis along with the skillful application of Osteopathic technique to treat the underlying cause of a condition. When you visit the Osteopath for the first time, a full medical history to enable a full diagnosis will be taken, an examination performed and treatment given. The musculoskeletal assessment will be considered alongside lifestyle factors, and a suitable treatment plan will be determined. A complete explanation will be given, along with advice, including exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes to avoid the condition recurring. If other treatment is indicated, referral to an appropriate specialist will be discussed.
