OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating injured parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. It involves the gentle and specific application of highly developed touch to evaluate and treat injuries to the body. When the body is balanced and working efficiently, it will function with the minimum of wear and tear, leaving more energy for living and self-repair.
Cranial Osteopathy is the name of a technique within Osteopathic medicine, which is the use of very gentle pressure on areas of the body to release unresolved strain/tension in the musculo-skeletal system. Cranial Osteopathy can be particularly effective when treating babies and small children.
Osteopaths treat a variety of common conditions including back pain, sciatica , neck pain, headaches, arthritis, frozen shoulder, whiplash, anxiety, changes to posture in pregnancy, babies with colic or sleeplessness, repetitive strain injury, postural problems from work and all sports injuries. Please ask if you are unsure if you have a problem that can be helped by Osteopathy or Cranial Osteopathy.
