What is Osteopathy? 'Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. When the body is balanced and efficient, just like a well tuned engine, it will function with the minimum of wear and tear, leaving more energy for living.' General Osteopathic Council
My approach includes both traditional joint manipulation and articulation (moving), muscle energy techniques (using the muscles to relax themselves), together with more gentle Cranial Osteopathic techniques, soft tissue massage and rhythmical movement techniques. I combine both classical and modern osteopathic approaches to health, by treating patients as a whole and not just a collection of different body parts. Typical problems that can be helped by being treated by an osteopath include:
Back pain and joint problems, including sciatica
Headaches and migraines
Neck and shoulder pain
