What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to relieve pain and improve health by manipulating and strengthening the body’s systems.
Osteopathy Treatment for Neck Pain
The aim of Osteopathy treatment is to improve blood flow around the body by using a combination of massage and stretching techniques to improve mobility in the muscles and tissues around the neck and shoulders.
Spinal manipulation is a technique used to effectively improve joint function in the neck and back. The improved movement in the neck following this technique, will relieve muscle tension and essentially, relieve pain.

Osteopathy Treatment for Low Back Pain
Osteopaths treat all types of back pain. The most common causes of low back pain involve sudden or sustained lifting and bending movements. In young adults, this can be due to disc problems, which can result in sciatica, a symptom of shooting pain down the back and side of the leg. In others, low back pain can accumulate following repeated stresses on the lower back.
Osteopathy treatment for low back pain involves a variety of techniques to alleviate muscle tension in the lower back that initially forms to protect the back.
Spinal manipulation is a specialised technique where our Osteopaths use their hands to apply a controlled thrust to a restricted joint in the upper and lower spine. once carried out, the surrounding muscle tension will ease and allow the back to heal.

Testimonials
“Excellent service! I’ve needed to see osteopaths for years now and this is one of the best – they actually fixed the source of my spinal issue and got everything back into shape rather than just a quick fix like I’ve experienced at other places. They are so friendly and funny as well – quite enjoy seeing these guys regularly!”
