Osteopathy for Adults
Holistic Osteopathic Care for Pain Relief, Mobility, and Overall Wellbeing
Osteopathy is effective in treating a wide range of conditions that impact your everyday life. Our experienced osteopaths use gentle, non-invasive techniques to support recovery and reduce discomfort. Some of the most common issues we treat include:
Back and neck pain: From poor posture to disc issues, we work to alleviate pain and improve spinal health.
Joint and muscle pain: We address problems in areas like the shoulders, hips, knees, and hands, easing stiffness and enhancing mobility.
Sports injuries: Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or more complex injury, osteopathy can aid recovery and prevent future issues.
Headaches and migraines: If your headaches stem from muscle tension or joint problems, osteopathy can offer lasting relief.
Work-related strains: For those who sit or stand for long periods, we help alleviate repetitive strain injuries and posture-related issues.
We take a personalised approach to your care. After an initial consultation and detailed assessment, we create a tailored treatment plan focused on your specific needs. Our osteopathic techniques are designed to:
Reduce pain and discomfort: By addressing the root cause of your condition, osteopathy offers lasting relief.
Improve flexibility and movement: Our treatments help to release tension, restore joint function, and improve overall mobility.
Prevent future problems: We work with you to identify potential risk factors and help you adopt healthier habits to reduce the likelihood of re-injury or chronic pain.
With our hands-on approach, you’ll receive a combination of soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization, and, where appropriate, advice on exercises to enhance your recovery and maintain long-term health.

What do we treat?
WHAT TO EXPECT?
What to Expect at an Appointment
Your first osteopathy appointment is a chance for us to get to know you and understand your needs. Whether you're new to osteopathy or a returning patient, we aim to make you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
Your journey with us starts with a detailed consultation. We’ll take the time to discuss:
Your health history: We’ll ask about any medical conditions, past injuries, and your current symptoms to get a clear picture of your overall health.
Lifestyle factors: We’ll consider how your daily activities—such as work, exercise, and stress—might be affecting your body.
Goals for treatment: Whether you're seeking pain relief, improved mobility, or long-term health benefits, we’ll tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.
Tailored Treatment Plan
Based on our findings, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that’s designed to address the cause of your symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. Your treatment may include:
Soft tissue massage: To release muscle tension and improve circulation.
Joint mobilisation: Gentle movements to improve the range of motion in your joints.
Stretching techniques: To enhance flexibility and support your recovery.
Advice and exercises: You’ll receive recommendations on stretches, exercises, or posture changes that can support your long-term health between appointments.
Physical Examination
Next, we’ll carry out a physical assessment to understand the root cause of your issue. This might include:
Postural assessment: We’ll observe how you stand and move to identify any imbalances or misalignments.
Mobility tests: We may ask you to perform simple movements to assess joint function and flexibility.
Hands-on examination: Using gentle touch, our osteopath will check areas of tension, muscle stiffness, and joint restriction.
You may be asked to dress comfortably or in a way that allows easy access to the area being treated. This helps us conduct a thorough examination and apply appropriate techniques.
Follow-Up Appointments
Depending on your condition, you may need several follow-up appointments to achieve the best results. We’ll monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure ongoing improvement. Some patients find relief after just one session, while others benefit from regular treatments over a longer period.
