Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that treats the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. We work with your muscles, joints and nerves to restore movement and help you feel yourself again.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a well-established, drug-free system of diagnosis and treatment. It is a professional, hands-on approach that focuses on how your skeleton, muscles, and joints work together.
Rather than just treating the area of pain, our osteopaths look at the body as a whole to find the root cause. By using precise manual techniques to improve joint mobility and release muscle tension, we correct underlying biomechanics to restore your natural function.
Ultimately, we treat people, not just symptoms. We take your lifestyle and overall well-being into account to provide safe, effective pain relief that lasts in the long term.
What Conditions Do We Treat?
People often visit us for everyday aches and pains, but many also come for help managing long-term conditions or sports injuries. Because we treat the person as a whole, we can help with a wide variety of issues. Our most common treatments include:
Back and Neck Pain
From acute lower back pain (lumbago) and sciatica to chronic stiffness, mechanical neck pain, and poor posture.
Joint and Muscle Issues
Relief for arthritis, hip and knee pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, and general muscle spasms or cramps.
Headaches and Nerve Pain
Effective management for migraines, tension headaches, and nerve-related discomfort.
Sports Injuries
Helping you recover faster, improve performance, and prevent future injuries.
Pregnancy and Postnatal Care
Relieving back, pelvic, and hip pain during pregnancy, and supporting recovery after birth.
Infants and Children
Gentle techniques to help with feeding difficulties, colic, and postural asymmetries.
Everyday Strains
Tension caused by work, stress, or everyday activities.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
Your initial consultation is designed to fully understand your situation and create a personalised treatment plan. During your initial consultation, we will:
Discuss your problem
We’ll talk in detail about your current pain and try to identify exactly what has happened.
Review your medical history
We’ll check your past health to see if any previous injuries or conditions might be influencing your current problem.
Look at the bigger picture
We’ll explore other factors, such as your work environment, lifestyle, hobbies, and daily routines, as these can often contribute to pain.
Explain our findings
We will clearly summarise what we’ve found and discuss the possible causes of your pain.
Perform a physical examination
We will ask you to do a few simple movements to assess your mobility and help us pinpoint the issue. We may also check nearby areas to see if they are contributing to the problem.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
Your osteopath will clearly explain what they found and propose a treatment plan, including the benefits and potential risks. If we feel another specialist is better suited to help you, we will refer you to them.
Hands-On Treatment
If appropriate, we will begin treatment during this visit. Therapy is always tailored to you and may include soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, gentle manipulation, and lifestyle advice or specific exercises to do at home.
