Services
Structural Osteopathy
Structural osteopathy addresses musculoskeletal issues through joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques. We employ deep tissue massage, joint articulation, and myofascial release to improve mobility and reduce pain. This approach effectively treats back pain, sports injuries, and postural problems while enhancing the body's natural healing processes.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy uses subtle manipulations to treat tension and mobility issues. Particularly suitable for babies, children, and sensitive patients, this technique addresses birth trauma, feeding difficulties, and developmental concerns. Our practitioners combine cranial work with postural advice to achieve lasting improvements in comfort and function.
Paediatric Care
Specialist paediatric osteopathy addresses birth-related strains and childhood musculoskeletal issues. We treat conditions like flat head syndrome, feeding difficulties, and colic through gentle, non-invasive techniques. Our approach supports healthy development while providing relief for common childhood discomforts and mobility restrictions.
Pregnancy Support
Pregnancy-specific osteopathy alleviates back pain and joint strain during pregnancy. Using safe, gentle techniques, we address postural changes and prepare the body for delivery. Postnatal treatments help restore pelvic alignment and resolve musculoskeletal issues from childbirth, supporting mothers' recovery and wellbeing.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture integrates with osteopathic treatment to manage chronic pain and inflammation. This evidence-based approach targets muscle tension and nerve-related discomfort through strategic needle placement. Combined with manual therapies, it enhances pain relief and accelerates recovery from musculoskeletal conditions.

Questions
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and pregnancy-related discomfort. Our services also address paediatric issues like feeding difficulties and developmental strains through gentle, non-invasive techniques.
Do you accept insurance patients?
Yes, we accept most major health insurance providers including BUPA, AXA PPP, and Cigna. Please obtain authorisation from your provider before booking and mention your insurance coverage at the time of appointment scheduling.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Initial consultations last 45-60 minutes, including medical history review, physical assessment, and treatment. We'll discuss your concerns, develop a personalised treatment plan, and begin appropriate osteopathic techniques while explaining each step of the process.
Are your treatments painful?
Our techniques prioritise patient comfort. While some deep tissue work may cause temporary discomfort, we adjust pressure according to your tolerance. Cranial osteopathy involves only gentle touch, particularly for babies and sensitive patients.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Acute issues may resolve in 2-3 sessions, while chronic conditions typically require 4-6 appointments. We'll discuss your expected treatment duration during the initial consultation and monitor progress regularly.
Do you offer home visits?
We primarily treat patients at our clinic but can discuss home visit options for those with severe mobility limitations. Please contact us directly to arrange home visits and discuss associated fees.
