For many people, aches and pains seem to be a common part of growing older - but it doesn’t have to be. 4 out of 5 people in the UK experience back pain within their lifetime, and we can help you get back to health, faster. Over 50% of Osteopathic patients reported improvements in their symptoms after a week! We can treat any age group - that includes infants and children, all the way through to mature adults. Even if you are unsure on what is wrong, we can diagnose, explain, treat (using a range of evidence based treatments) and advise patients all on the first visit.
What happens in a treatment?
You do not need to consult your GP before making/attending your appointment.
Your Osteopath will discuss your treatment with you beforehand. Your appointment may involve a series of techniques, including physical manipulation, stretching and massage with the aim of: increasing the mobility of joints, relieving muscle tension, enhancing the blood supply to tissue and helping the body to heal.
All patients can benefit from the tailored and personalised approach that Osteopaths offer, taking the time to understand individual history and circumstances, and applying the correct treatment to help resolve the issue.
