After much deliberation, discussion with colleagues and medical professionals as well as taking into account guidance from the government, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily cancel clinic. 

We know this is the right thing to do to protect our wonderful patients. This is a totally surreal situation we find ourselves in. We ask for your understanding at this time and plan to open again as soon as it is possible to do so.

We will still be manning the phones to assist you with any enquiries.

Osteopathy

Osteopaths are trained for four to five years for an undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree with more emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal conditions. Osteopaths are qualified professionals registered with the General Osteopathic Council, who are skilled in diagnosis and treatment. Osteopathy is complementary to and supportive of Medicine, It is primarily a ‘hands on’ manual therapy using a wide variety of treatment modalities, including:

• Massage techniques
• Joint manipulation
• Joint mobilisation
• Stretches
• Exercise

Adjuncts to osteopathic treatment may also be used such as:

• Electrotherapy
• Ultrasound
• Dry needling (acupuncture)
• Vibration
• Taping
• Dietary advice

Your first visit will take approximately one hour and will include:
