When your spine is straight and the rest of your body in balance, asthma, digestive disorders, poor digestion and irritable bowel syndrome problems simply disappear. Osteopathy is a manual therapy which uses manipulation, stretching and pressure, to correct any imbalance in the body’s musculo-skeletal structure. By restoring the body to balance, osteopaths provide long-term relief from conditions such as headaches, lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder stiffness, back pain during pregnancy, hip, thigh, and knee problems, calf, shin, ankle, foot pain, Sciatica and Scoliosis.

Newborn care
If your baby’s birth required the assistance of forceps or ventouse, or was particularly prolonged or complicated, then getting your baby assessed and treated by an osteopath could help relieve any stress or strains that may be presenting as sleeping problems or infantile colic.

Osteopathy for children
It’s quite common for newborns to develop musculoskeletal strains as a result of a natural or caesarean birth. As the child grows, these strains can lead to recurrent ear/sinus infections, persistent coughs, behavioural problems or even postural problems such as scoliosis. But an osteopath can diagnose these musculoskeletal strains early. And by seeking osteopathic treatment for your newborn, you can ensure your child will be able to function to the best of his or her abilities. No age is too young – or old – to be in the best of health with osteopathy!
Perfect your posture
Ignore the old adage “stomach in, chest out and shoulders back”. Forcing your body into this unnatural position creates muscular strain, fatigue and discomfort. But proper alignment of your body encourages correct posture, relieves muscular tension, maximises energy and allows you to move freely and efficiently. Structural Integration – also commonly known as “rolfing” – assists the human body in moving to a place of better balance, organisation and overall freedom and wholeness. Structural Integration
