Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy treatments address back pain, neck pain, and joint issues through manual techniques that improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Practitioners use whole-body assessment to identify root causes of pain, employing soft tissue manipulation, joint articulation, and postural advice. Patients receive tailored exercise programs to enhance treatment outcomes and prevent recurrence.
Sports Massage
Clinical sports massage targets sports-related injuries and muscular imbalances through deep tissue techniques. Our therapists specialise in treating amateur and professional athletes, addressing soft tissue injuries, muscle strains, and post-exercise recovery. Sessions include movement analysis and corrective exercise prescriptions to improve performance and prevent future injuries.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy employs subtle pressure techniques to release tension in the head and nervous system. This gentle approach treats headaches, migraines, and stress-related conditions, suitable for patients of all ages including infants. Practitioners focus on cranial rhythm and fluid dynamics to promote natural healing processes.
Osteopathy for Babies
Specialised osteopathic treatment for infants addresses birth-related strains and developmental issues. Gentle techniques relieve colic, feeding difficulties, and sleep disturbances while supporting healthy growth patterns. Practitioners work closely with parents to monitor progress and provide home care advice for optimal infant development.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture and dry needling target muscular trigger points to alleviate chronic pain and improve circulation. Fine needles stimulate natural healing responses, effectively treating sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and chronic pain conditions. Sessions integrate with manual therapy for comprehensive musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
