What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a very effective form of manual therapy, and treatment aims to relieve your pain and improve your body's function.

Osteopathic treatment helps a wide range of patients of all ages by treating joints, muscles and ligaments, using a variety of techniques to suit each individual. Some of the conditions that can be helped include:

Back pain
Sciatica
Frozen shoulder
Neck pain

Shoulder pain
Foot pain

Why Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is very effective because not only is your immediate local problem diagnosed and treated, but also any predisposing factors are identified and treated i.e. the body is examined as a whole.

This is important because if one part of the body is restricted, then the rest of the body compensates, which can cause pain elsewhere. For example restriction in the upper back may predispose to shoulder and neck pain. Because such wider factors are addressed, this means a better outcome.

As well as hands on treatment, advice is given on how to prevent your problem recurring.

An osteopath must complete a full time, four-year degree course, which gives them a detailed knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology. This allows diagnosis of your musculoskeletal problem, and screening for potential medical issues. They must then register with the General Osteopathic Council, a regulated body that maintains high standards and continual training across the profession.

Testimonials

"Thank you for your assistance with our daughter Lauren. It has made a huge difference to her and us as a family, we can finally enjoy her!!"

Sarah and Jon

"Thank you so much for treating me. My mummy and Daddy are really pleased and I think you are very kind. I think your toys and room are great and I just thought I was having a nice time rather than being treated". " Lots of Love

Anthony

"You have been god sent for us. My son now sleeps through the night in his own room and so my sanity and marriage both have been saved. I only wish we had sought you out sooner. Your impeccable communication skills put me at ease straight away"

The Sanderson family

"For the first two months I was a very grumpy baby, crying all the time and not sleeping well. At their wits end, Mummy and Daddy brought me to see you. In three weeks I was a new baby. Happy very smiley and sleeping well - no rocking required. You predicted that I would be a very chilled out, relaxed chap and I certainly am. Thank you for making a huge difference to all our lives."

The Mitchelmore family

"Andrew listens to what you have to say about your child to help him achieve the great results he gets. I refused to listen to the countless people who told me that 'babies cry, that's just what they do'. They are trying to tell you something. As a mother I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't figure what it was, I literally coundn't believe the change in our son after his treatment and I then realised how much pain he must have been in to be so unconsolably upset for so long. Now he is the happiest, most smiley child and our whole family are overjoyed."
