When working with our Osteopaths we listen to what you and your body is telling us. Creating awareness of the mind-body connection in patients is pivotal to our approach. We help you acknowledge why your body is in its current physical state and to release these issues that may be inhibiting the healing process.
Our Osteopaths use an intuitive approach to treat the body, using mainly structural and direct techniques to treat the musculoskeletal system such as: soft tissue massage, manipulation, cupping as well as exercise prescription. With a focus on education and preventative health, when we work together you will learn how to take responsibility and action in your recovery and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Osteopaths use a wide range of techniques that are safe and effective. These range from soft tissue massage, joint manipulation (articulation, mobilisation, high-velocity low amplitude cavitation ‘cracking'), muscle energy technique, stretching, cupping and prescriptive exercises. Some of our Osteopaths have extended scopes of training including acupuncture (click here for the difference between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western Medical Acupuncture<\/a> (WMA) which includes), cranial osteopathy, herbal medicine, psychosomatic therapy and functional movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
