General Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy which uses a holistic approach to health and focuses on the neuromusculoskeletal system. Osteopathic philosophy states that a whole person approach is key in optimal health and well-being & aims support the body's own self healing ability. 


The aim is to find the cause of the issue and is targeted for musculoskeletal pain, dysfunction, injury & rehabilitation, whilst calming the body systems. 


Treatment is tailored to the individual and uses a combination of techniques including High velocity low amplitude (HVLA),  postural/ergonomic assessment, massage, dry needing, myofascial cupping , Muscle energy techniques (MET) Trigger Point Therapy, articulation, active release techniques, rehabilitation programs/exercises, diet and lifestyle advice. 

I can also work with your GP or other allied health professionals as part of your health management team. 



Paediatric Osteopathy

Paediatric Osteopathy  

Children’s osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on supporting the healthy growth and development of infants, children, and adolescents. Using light touch techniques to assess and improve the function of the body’s muscles, joints, and connective tissues, helping to relieve discomfort, improve movement, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Paediatric osteopathy can help with head favouring, plagiocephaly, feeding/latch issues and common childhood pain such as growing pains and sports injuries. 




Pregnancy & Postpartum Osteopathy

  

Pregnancy & Postpartum

 

Pregnancy & Postpartum Care

Gentle, considered osteopathic care throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period, supporting your body as it adapts to the physical demands of pregnancy, birth and recovery.

Pregnancy brings significant changes to posture, movement, muscle load and the way the pelvis and spine move. Osteopathic treatment can help support comfort, mobility and ease as your body changes, with care tailored to your stage of pregnancy, individual needs and birth journey.

Treatment may be helpful for common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal concerns including pelvic girdle pain, pubic symphysis discomfort, lower back and hip pain, upper back and rib tension, and general muscular and joint discomfort. Gentle hands-on techniques may also be used to support mobility and help you feel more comfortable moving through pregnancy.

As you approach birth, osteopathic care can focus on maintaining comfortable movement through the pelvis, hips and spine and supporting your body as it prepares for the physical demands of labour. This is not about positioning the baby or inducing labour, but about helping you feel physically supported and comfortable in the weeks leading up to birth.

After birth, your body continues to undergo significant physical changes as tissues recover and you gradually return to everyday movement and activity. Postpartum osteopathic care can support recovery following both vaginal and caesarean birth, including pelvic and lower back discomfort, muscular tension, abdominal wall changes such as diastasis recti, and recovery following birth-related physical strain or trauma.

Where appropriate, treatment may also include gentle work around caesarean section scars and surrounding tissues once the incision has adequately healed, with the aim of supporting comfortable movement and tissue mobility.

Every pregnancy and birth is different. Your treatment is individualised to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery, your symptoms, your birth experience and your goals — providing a calm, nurturing space to reconnect with your body and move through this transformative period with greater comfort and confidence.
