Osteopathy

Osteopathy provides effective pain relief for backs, muscles and joints. Osteopaths work to restore the correct function to the structures of the body.

Deep tissue sports massage

Sports or deep tissue massage is a deep treatment that loosens up tight muscles, breaks up muscular knots, and generally focuses on restoring and/or maintaining the full functionality of your muscles.

Sports injury treatment and rehabilitation

An osteopath can help improve performance as well as treat the injuries being suffered. By using their knowledge of diagnosis and highly developed palpatory skills they can help to restore structural balance, improve joint mobility and reduce adhesions and soft tissue restrictions so that ease of movement is restored and performance enhanced.

Stress busting massage

The everyday strains of life, work stress, poor posture and emotional drama can all contribute to muscular tension developing, particularly in the back, neck and shoulders, leaving you with achy, tired muscles.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment that involves pricking the patient with a special needle. It developed in China about 2,000 years ago. Traditional Chinese acupuncture uses a complicated system of ancient ideas that are not easy for most of us to understand or accept today. However, many modern Western practitioners find that acupuncture can be understood in scientific terms. This makes it easier to use in a Western setting and it is becoming increasingly acceptable here, helping a wide array of people and conditions.
