Osteopathy is a safe and natural therapy that focuses on the framework of the body consisting of the bones, ligaments, muscles and connective tissues or fascia. Osteopaths assess the condition of this musculo-skeletal system looking for areas of weakness, imbalance and excessive strain. Any potential 'weak points' will determine how well the body functions and they will have an influence on the general health of the whole body.
Since then many thousands of people have been successfully treated by our Registered Osteopaths. The busy practice enjoys frequent referrals from doctors and other healthcare professionals, as well as from sports and leisure clubs. Patients at the practice have included Royalty and many personalities from the sports and entertainment world. Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment designed to provide pain relief for the body's structural and mechanical problems.
