Osteopath Treatments

Modern life, too much sitting or physically demanding work can place extreme stress on the body, often leading to pain, stiffness and reduction in flexibility. If left unchecked, a chronic problem can develop that affects every area of your life.  Osteopathy treats the body as a whole to address and relieve symptoms. Every treatment plan is different and uniquely tailored to you.

From new gym attendees to elite athletes, all sportsmen and women rely on optimal performance of the body. A well balanced body where your ligaments, muscles, tissues and fascia are working smoothly is crucial for optimal fitness and to minimise injury. Sport injuries such as tennis/golf elbow or running injuries respond extremely well to Osteopathy,

Osteopaths have various treatment techniques to use that are suitable for children at all stages of development. Contact Carolyn to discuss what might help your child.

Although often associated with ageing,  sore knees, painful hips and stiff fingers are all problems that can also be experienced in menopause. The hormone oestrogen protects joints – and when levels drop increases inflammation, it also raises the risk of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Being a menopausal woman is a major risk factor for joint pain. Your Osteopath can help talk to you about managing your hormone levels with diet, collagen supplementation, sleep, exercise and stress management techniques.

Osteopathy can help ease the pain and stiffness from arthritis and improve joint function and mobility. Using gentle techniques, Osteopathy can help the older patient keep mobile.

Osteopathy also helps restore the function of the body. By improving the mechanics of the body, the circulation, movement and well being is enhanced, reducing the risk of further injuries.

Osteopathy can help to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems one responsible for the 'fight or flight' response, and the other  restoring  a state of calm, so it's important to have a balance between the two.
