Treatments

I treat clients of all ages and stages in life, using cranial or skeletal osteopathy, and providing advice on posture and exercises. Where appropriate I can liaise with your medical practitioner, personal trainer and yoga therapist, and help you to work towards a total health plan. If required I can also provide a referral for a radiological assessment .

Osteopathic Techiques

I use a range of hands on techniques to treat patients. Working with body structures could involve manipulating moving parts of the body, stretching muscles and joint areas, massaging muscles, gentle rhythmic joint movement, muscles resistance work, or pressure/trigger point release joints .  Spinal manipulation, soft tissue massage techniques.

I also offer cranial manipulation which works with the skull bones.  The brain exists in liquid and the skull is made up of many bones, with oxygen supplying the brain moving around constantly.  This form of osteopathy is particularly effective on infants, who have softer skulls
