Soft tissue massage

Joint mobilisation and manipulation

Stretching and movement therapies
We also incorporate advanced methods such as Radial & Focused Shockwave Therapy, IDD Therapy, K-Laser Therapy and Tecar Therapy when appropriate.

What happens at an osteopathy appointment?
Your osteopathy appointment starts with a discussion about your symptoms, medical history and what you would like to get back to doing. Your osteopath will then assess your movement, joints and muscles to help identify what may be contributing to your problem. They will explain their findings and discuss the most appropriate treatment options with you. Treatment may include hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft-tissue work and stretching, alongside advice on movement, exercise and rehabilitation. Where appropriate, your osteopath may also recommend other treatment options available within our multidisciplinary clinic.
