Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy addresses musculoskeletal issues through hands-on techniques including joint manipulation and soft tissue work. Our practitioners treat back pain, neck pain, and joint conditions while promoting overall wellness. This regulated healthcare profession combines diagnostic skills with therapeutic interventions to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Sports Therapy
Specialist sports therapy prevents and treats musculoskeletal injuries using techniques like dry needling and rehabilitation exercises. We help athletes and active individuals recover from strains, sprains, and sports-related trauma while implementing preventative strategies for long-term performance optimisation.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy uses light energy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively manages chronic pain conditions like arthritis and acute injuries including sprains. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme.
Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on muscle rehabilitation through deep tissue manipulation. Our therapists use techniques like myofascial release and trigger point therapy to treat overuse injuries, improve flexibility, and enhance recovery for both athletes and office workers with postural strain.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy applies subtle techniques to release tension in the skull and spine. Particularly effective for headaches and stress-related conditions, this gentle approach benefits patients of all ages including infants with birth trauma and adults seeking improved sleep quality.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck pain, joint issues, sports injuries, headaches, and posture-related problems using osteopathy, sports therapy, and MLS laser therapy.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. Our osteopaths and therapists can assess and treat you directly, though we maintain professional links with GPs and specialists for complex cases.
What's the difference between osteopathy and sports therapy?
Osteopathy focuses on whole-body musculoskeletal health through manual techniques, while sports therapy specialises in injury prevention and rehabilitation using sports-specific treatment modalities.
Are treatments covered by insurance?
Most private medical insurance policies cover osteopathy and sports therapy. We recommend checking with your provider about specific treatment coverage and claim procedures.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Acute injuries may require 3-6 sessions, while chronic issues need longer-term management. Your therapist will discuss expected duration during initial assessment.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement. For sports therapy or lower back treatment, bring shorts; for cranial osteopathy, regular clothing is suitable.
