Osteopathy focusses on the musculoskeletal system with the aim to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate structural imbalances in the body without using medication.

Osteopathy can be used to treat a broad range of people from office workers, horse riders and runners to pregnant women and the elderly. We use a range of techniques including physical manipulation, stretching and massage to rebalance the body’s structure and improve day-to-day functioning. This may help to relieve pain in the back, neck, shoulders, knees and some arthritic pain.

Our work is based on the principal that symptoms may be caused by several contributing factors. Using this idea, we evaluate areas of the body, your medical history and environmental factors in order to produce a personal treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms.

Desk Ergonomics

The way your desk is set up impacts your posture. Factors such as monitor height, the position of your keyboard and mouse, how your chair is set up and whether you have wrist supports can all contribute to physical issues related to your desk work.

Common symptoms can include pain, tingling or stiffness in the shoulder, elbow or hand, neck tension and headaches. Osteopathic treatment may provide relief for these symptoms and help you manage them, but without addressing the cause it is difficult to maintain improvements
