Visiting the Osteopath

Osteopathy is a practical "hands on" treatment that includes many different techniques, from very gentle soft tissue techniques, careful specific mobilisation techniques, exercises and postural advice, to specialist treatment
methods such as Cranial Osteopathy or Medical Acupuncture.

When you visit the Osteopath for the first time they will listen to you and take a full medical history, and this will then be followed by a thorough clinical examination.

Your Osteopath will diagnose the problem and will then develop a specific treatment plan for you that is designed to help relive the immediate problem in the shortest possible time.

Additionally they will look at prevention, and how best to try and avoid a recurrence of the problem and often advice is given on posture, work position, and suitable exercises.

Why choose an Osteopath

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy is a specialist and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very light touch to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body, including the head, returning a state of natural balance to the body.

It is extremely effective in treating a wide range of conditions in people of all ages, from birth to old age, where a more gentle approach may be more suitable.

It is particularly helpful in the treatment of young children and is the main form of treatment used in our Children's Clinic.
