Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment which works with the structural systems of the body; the bones, muscles, joints, soft tissues and the nervous system. It is a gentle, natural and holistic therapy which can be beneficial in managing musculoskeletal problems such as back pain, sciatica, neck pain, arthritis, headache, repetitive strain injuries and muscular strains.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy works with the rhythmic impulse present in the fluid systems of the body. This wave-like movement is very small and is therefore palpated with light touch, usually through the head and the sacrum.

Commonly treated conditions are:

• Back pain and neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Headaches
• Sport and work-related injuries
• Pregnancy care
• Arthritis

Commonly treated conditions are:

• Migraine
• Whiplash injury
• Digestive disorders
• Infantile colic

Patients are assessed individually and treatments are tailored to suit each persons needs. Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to improve areas of the body that are restricted and can recommend exercises and give advice to reduce recurrences of the presenting problem.
