Although Osteopaths are generally thought of as 'back specialists', we treat a wide range of conditions.  Osteopathic treatment does not target symptoms only but treats the parts of the body that have caused the symptoms. 

Osteopaths have a holistic approach and believe that your whole body will work well if your body is in good structural balance.  We use a wide range of techniques, including massage, cranial techniques (sometimes referred to as 'cranial osteopathy') and joint mobilization and this breadth of approach allows us to focus on every patient’s precise needs.

Osteopathy is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to the treatment and management of a wide range of conditions. Osteopaths primarily work through the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, mostly on muscles and joints, using holistic and patient centred approaches.

Osteopaths use a wide range of gentle manipulations, depending on your age, fitness and diagnosis. Treatment is different for every patient but may include techniques such as different types of soft tissue massage and joint articulation to release tension, stretch muscles, help relieve pain and mobilise your joints.
                 
We may discuss exercises that you can do to improve your posture and movement in your workplace and everyday life.

All osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).  It is against the law for anyone to call themselves an osteopath unless they are registered with the GOsC, which sets and promotes high standards of competency, conduct and safety
