Treatments
Osteopathy combines joint mobilisation and articulation, soft tissue and massage treatment with rehabilitation, so you’ll be supported through your recovery both inside and outside the treatment room. At your appointment, we’ll take a case history and ask you questions about your symptoms, your health and lifestyle. We offer neurological and orthopaedic assessment, provide diagnosis and evidence-based treatment for a broad range of chronic and acute musculoskeletal and neurological conditions including sports injuries, joint pain including osteoarthritis, tension headaches, disc injuries, sciatica and pre/postnatal care.
Tailored treatment will address your symptoms as well as considering your general health, your body’s patterns of movement and the activities you do, to help you get back to feeling to your best.
Rehabilitation is at the core of effective osteopathic treatment - whether you need help with a specific injury, or want to manage a recurring pattern of pain or postural discomfort - everything we work on together in the treatment room will support what you do between appointments.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy for babies and children
As with all osteopathic treatment, paediatric appointments include a comprehensive case history, examination and neurological and orthopaedic screening when appropriate, and support with specialist referral when necessary.
Paediatric Osteopathy is suitable for a broad range of musculoskeletal presentations, including children’s and teenagers’ sports injuries, treatment for symptoms associated with hypermobility, neurodivergence and low muscle tone.
From birth, we provide assessment, advice and treatment for postural asymmetries, symptoms associated with birth recovery, and for some respiratory and digestive symptoms in newborns and infants, as well as advice and appropriate treatment for feeding difficulties in newborns and infants.
Please note Paediatric appointments for babies and children aged 0-15 are only available with Emilie.
Massage targets areas of tension and fatigue that may have built up through physical activity or the strains of daily life.
This is a targeted, remedial treatment which will address specific areas of tension and discomfort, improving blood flow and aiding recovery. It’s particularly useful if you are training regularly, increasing your usual training or have an event coming up. . It’s best to allow at least five days between a sports massage and your marathon or other big event.
Please do not book this appointment if you have an injury, if your movements are restricted or painful, or you have any neurological symptoms. Please book an Osteopathy appointment where we will be able to carry out an assessment, make a diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Sports / Deep Tissue Massage
This technique involves inserting very fine needles into the body to stimulate sensory nerves in the skin and muscle. This can effect endorphins and serotonin levels, relieving pain in areas of muscular discomfort.
We include medical acupuncture as part of any Osteopathy appointment when appropriate, so there is no need to book a separate appointment for this treatment. Please note acupunture is only available with Emilie.
Medical/Western Acupuncture
