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.
From newborns to adults, our skilled Osteopaths will make sure that each treatment is tailored to suit your individual circumstances. Our Osteopaths are experienced in treating all ages and conditions including babies and infants, children, pregnant women and older people.

Treatment can also assist with sleep cycles and the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic symptoms.
Treatment is individually-tailored, and may include soft tissue techniques to stretch, strengthen and relax. We also practice joint articulation mobilisation and manipulation techniques to encourage joint mobility, fluid flow and tissue repair. Each appointment includes a personalised exercise plan, with advice on posture, ergonomics and lifestyle changes available, should you wish to accept them. Osteopaths are trained to recognise ‘red flags’ and are able to refer for imaging and further investigation where necessary.
