Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine that recognizes the importance between function and structure of the body. Osteopaths aim to assist the healing of the body by focusing on how the muscles, joints, nerves, circulation, and connective tissue function together as a unit.

We know from experience that a lot of problems can be resolved well within 3-4 treatments. Sometimes 1-2 visits are all that is needed, alternatively, with older or more complex conditions this can take longer to resolve dependent on the case.

As Osteopathy is a manual medicine, a large part of treatment is hands-on, and usually involves moving various parts of your body. Make sure you wear loose and comfortable clothing. Depending on the area being looked at, it may be necessary to undress down to your underwear. Please make sure you speak to us if you feel uncomfortable in any way.

Most Osteopathic treatment is gentle and should not cause high levels of discomfort. At times, hands-on treatment of painful or tender areas will be necessary, and in these cases, we will take care to make you as comfortable as possible. Some people experience some soreness for a day or two after treatment as their body reacts and adjusts. If this persists or increases, contact your osteopath.

Cranial Osteopathy focuses on feeling subtle body rhythms known as the involuntary motion (IVM). While IVM can be felt through the whole body, cranial treatment will typically focus on the head, as the position and movement of the bones of the skull influence the IVM. The way it works is complex and essentially involves very subtle movements to improve movement and fluid flow. The gentle nature of this style of treatment allows practitioners to use it with patients who are very sensitive, as it works with the body by encouraging it to change rather than forcing it. This works particularly well for newborns that have had a traumatic birth, are unsettled, or have trouble sleeping.
