OSTEOPATHY
What is Osteopathy?
We provide a gentle and effective hands-on approach to your health and wellbeing, based on the principle that the way your body moves influences how it functions. Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals, recognised by the NHS as fully qualified to diagnose and treat independently.
We see people every day with a variety of conditions including neck or back pain, joint or muscular pain, sports injuries, recurring headaches and more. Many patients are pregnant mothers, unsettled children, or those with work strain, or pain and stiffness related to advancing years.
As you don't need a referral from your doctor you will be treated quickly without the long waiting times that often occur with other treatment options.
Osteopathy specialises in the diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal and other related disorders.
Your osteopath will give you a clear explanation of what they find following their diagnosis and discuss a treatment plan that is suitable for you. They will explain the benefits and any risks of the treatment they are recommending. It is important to understand and agree what the treatment can achieve and the likely number of sessions needed for a noticeable improvement in how you feel.
