Osteopathy and cranial osteopathy

Osteopathy is a manual approach to medicine, re-aligning your body's structure and assisting with the natural self-healing process. Our osteopaths understand that a balanced physical structure, or ‘framework’, is fundamental to the health of both mind and body. Their main objective is to release the underlying cause of tension – perhaps stemming back to an early life incident (such as birth or childhood accidents), or resulting from a more recent injury or a current medical or emotional problem.

Some techniques are very gentle and use extremely light pressure (cranial osteopathy) while others involve directed manipulation and thrusts (structural osteopathy). Cranial osteopathy is the chosen approach for babies and children and in pregnancy.

We use osteopathy to treat a wide range of issues, from back and neck pain to digestive problems and asthma; from menstrual disorders to depression, stress and anxiety.
