Osteopathy
A method of diagnosing, correcting and treating health problems by mobilising and stretching one’s muscles and joints.
Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging the muscles and joints.
Osteopathy is based on the whole body functioning smoothly and all the bones, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue working together to maximise the well-being of the individual.
Our osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and massage to :
Increase joint mobility
Reduce pain
Help the body to heal
Relieve muscle tension
Improve the blood supply to tissues
There are a range of techniques that they use to achieve this, buy they do not use medicine and they do not use surgery.
All of our Osteopaths are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council.

"Xcel Health is amazing! My son (age 8) first had treatment there and amazing and big improvements. So helpful. I am having treatment for my ankle and walking issues with Xavier. The pain has gone from 10(being the worst) to 4 and that’s in four appointments. I can now walk without pain, put shoes without pain and now go back too exercise!! I can even go running without pain. Xavier is great and makes me feel comfortable and explains everything in detail."

"I have just had my third session with Xavier and am beyond delighted with my experience of Xcel Health. Xavier is a tremendous physio but what has struck me most about the whole process is the welcoming nature of the entire team.The guys clearly care about the mental health side as much as the physical and are easy to talk to and extremely empathetic.I would recommend Xcel to anybody, outstanding service!"

"I was pretty confident I knew what the problem was when I arrived for my first appointment. It turned out to be something completely different.Xavier explained everything really well without going too technical. I like to understand what’s going on and how to fix it so it was really refreshing that Xavier did that without needing to ask him. I have exercises to help support my recovery but not just a bit of paper or a video to watch, Xavier asked me to do each exercise before I left so that I could feel what muscles I’m trying to engage and He could make adjustments to my positioning so that I get the most out of my effort."
