Osteopathy
Osteopathy effectively treats musculoskeletal conditions such as:
- Generalised aches and pains
- General, acute and chronic back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches arising from tension in shoulders and neck, migraine prevention
- Joint problems with hips and knees
- Frozen shoulder, elbow pain
- Postural strain issues
- Sciatica
- Arthritic pain
- Minor sports injuries and muscular tension
Osteopathy is a manual therapy which treats painful conditions throughout the body resulting from structural dysfunction. As such, an osteopath examines the interplay between the muscles, joints, fascia and nervous system and adjusts tissue to ease tension, reduce restriction, and improve function. This means that your body will heal much more effectively and quickly. A variety of techniques are used to achieve positive results in osteopathy including a fully hands on approach to treatment utilising both soft tissue (muscles, tendons and fascia) work as well as joint manipulation (adjustments), which makes treatment gentle and effective. Stretches, exercises and advice may also be given to help you progress to wellness.
Osteopathy is a profession governed by statute and regulated by the General Osteopathic Council, ensuring that practitioners have achieved the high standards required in training and maintain their skills with regular continuing professional development.
Strong, scientific research supports treatment by osteopaths helping you to know that results are known to be effective.
As we offer both physiotherapy and osteopathy, we are able to offer bespoke treatment plans which may include being seen by another practitioner if that is what is needed to fast track your results.

Testimonials
The most important thing of course is how I feel? I can honestly say much better than when I first met with Claire. My balance and flexibility are improving. I suffer less pain, cramps and discomfort.
I still have a way to go and I expect treatment to be a lifelong process now. As maintaining this improving condition needs to be worked at. If you are nervous or sceptical about these treatments please be reassured you are in good safe hands with Claire. I wish I had found Claire sooner.
