Postural imbalances
Poor posture or muscle imbalances can place strain on joints, muscles and ligaments over time. Osteopathy will thoroughly evaluate your posture, help restore balance and movement to reduce discomfort and improve body mechanics.
Low back pain/stiffness
Whether from injury, poor posture, or daily strain, back pain is one of the most common issues we treat. Hands-on osteopathic treatment can help ease tension, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence.
Neck pain/stiffness/headaches
Neck tension can often contribute to headaches or restricted movement. Gentle techniques help release tight muscles, improve joint motion, and relieve associated headaches.
Joint pain/stiffness, e.g shoulder, hip, knee
Joint discomfort may arise from wear and tear, injury, or altered movement patterns. Osteopathic treatment aims to reduce pain, improve function, and support joint health.
Sports injuries e.g strains, sprains and tears
From acute injuries to long-term niggles, osteopathy can support recovery by promoting healing, restoring movement, and preventing re-injury through tailored rehab and advice.
Scoliosis
Curvature of the spine can cause tension, asymmetry, and discomfort. Osteopathic care can help improve mobility, ease muscle strain, and support posture and balance.
Arthritis related pain/mobility issues
While osteopathy cannot reverse arthritis, it can help manage stiffness, maintain joint movement, and improve comfort and overall quality of life.
Trapped nerves e.g sciatica
Symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness can stem from nerve irritation. Osteopathic treatment helps relieve pressure, improve spinal function, and support recovery.
Work related repetitive strain e.g Carpal Tunnel
Repetitive tasks and desk work can cause muscular fatigue, joint and nerve irritation. Treatment focuses on relieving tension, improving circulation, and supporting better ergonomic movement.
Chronic Pain e.g Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain can persist long after an injury or without a clear cause. Osteopathic treatment focuses on understanding the person as a whole to discover what may be contributing to the pain. Providing gentle movement, improving circulation, reducing tension, and helping the body find better balance and comfort over time.
Jaw pain/dysfunction (TMD)
Jaw or facial tension can arise from clenching, stress, or postural strain. Gentle techniques help release tension, improve jaw movement, and ease associated discomfort.
Pregnancy related pain/postural issues
Pregnancy naturally changes posture and places extra demand on the body. Osteopathy can safely support mobility, ease back and pelvic pain, and promote comfort throughout pregnancy.
