You don't have to be old to need an osteopath!

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a distinct clinical discipline recognised by the British Medical Association. Osteopathy is based on the principle that all ailments - whether minor or serious - are as a result of an imbalance somewhere in the network of the body's systems.

What conditions can it treat?

Particularly proficient at diagnosing and dealing with back ache, osteopaths also attend to conditions ranging from carpal tunnel and frozen shoulder, to Irritable Bowel Syndrome and sinusitis.

Who can benefit from treatment?

A variety of techniques are used to improve mobility, reduce swelling and restore function to all parts of the body.

Minor sports injuries can be treated to speed recovery and advice given to avoid further injury.

Cranial technique, an extremely gentle approach, can benefit all ages, from the most precious new born babies through all stages of live.

Isn't it just for the elderly?

All ages can benefit from osteopathy, and you don't need to wait to be in pain to make an appointment. Osteopaths help millions of people every year and just as we service our cars a regular check up with the osteopath could help maintain a healthy body. And of course, ailments of aging can be significantly improved by the therapeutic approach of osteopathy.

Who are Osteopaths?

In order to use the term 'Osteopath', which is protected by law an individual has to be registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).  To become registered all osteopaths have to complete and pass a course that is a Recognised Qualification, as well as having a Criminal Records check and medical reference.
