Manual therapy based on a holistic, patient-centred approach.

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions, working with the structure and function of the body. It's based on the principle that wellbeing depends on the body's internal organs, circulation, digestion and lymphatic systems all functioning efficiently together.

Our osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, support blood and nerve supply to tissues, and help the body's own healing mechanisms do their work.

We also provide advice on posture, exercise and nutrition to support recovery and help prevent symptoms recurring.

A gentle form of treatment, osteopathy can help with most types of aches, pains and strains, in people of every age, from babies to older adults.

Osteopathy and babies

We have experience treating babies and children at all stages of development. An osteopathic assessment after birth can help identify potential effects of a difficult delivery.

A long labour, a caesarean, or the use of forceps or ventouse can create tension within a baby's body which, if left unaddressed, may contribute to difficulty feeding, colic, reflux, disturbed sleep, or difficulty passing wind.

Osteopathy uses gentle techniques, including cranial osteopathy, to help ease these tensions and support the baby's natural development.

Osteopathy and women’s health

We have experience supporting women's health, pregnancy, and pre and postnatal recovery.

The hormonal and physical changes women go through can be significant, and many experience disruption to their natural rhythms at some point in their lives. Osteopathy may be a helpful part of supporting hormonal balance alongside other care.

Patients come to us with a range of concerns including PMS, irregular or heavy bleeding, menstrual cramping, and general support during and after pregnancy. For anything more complex, such as endometriosis, fibroids or fertility concerns, we work alongside — not instead of — your medical care.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy is a subtle approach that uses gentle, almost imperceptible manipulation of the head and body to support the nervous system and help patients reconnect with themselves.

Through careful, attentive touch, osteopaths direct treatment in response to what the tissues themselves indicate. During a session, you remain clothed and are simply asked to rest as the osteopath's hands move lightly across areas of relevance.

Many patients describe a deep sense of relaxation during cranial treatment, along with the release of physical tension.

Osteopathy can also help with:

•  Sports and soft tissue injuries

•  Pregnancy and post natal aches and pains

•  Women’s health issues

•  Tension headaches and migraines

•  Stress, anxiety and sleep issues

•  Back, neck and shoulder pain

•  Nerve irritation or "trapped nerves"

•  Digestive problems
