Osteopathy for All
" To find Health should be the object of the physician. Anyone can find disease."
A.T.STILL
Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages—from newborns and children to adults and seniors—and is supportive during pregnancy and the postnatal period. Each treatment is carefully tailored to the individual, considering their unique needs, lifestyle, and overall health. Whether addressing structural, visceral, cranial, or general concerns, the osteopath's goal is to support your body’s natural self-healing abilities and help restore and strengthen its normal physiological function.
OSTEOPATHS FOR ADULTS
Osteopathy can help relieve a wide range of conditions by addressing their root causes and supporting the body’s natural healing process. It is effective for general, acute, and chronic back pain, sciatica, neck pain, lumbago, and headaches or migraines. Osteopaths also treat joint disorders in the shoulders, hips, knees, and other peripheral joints, as well as jaw tension and arthritic pain, Cervicogenic headache, dizziness, vertigo, stress-related pain (fibromyalgia), Chronic fatigue, Functional scoliosis, Post post-surgery rehabilitation.

OSTEOPATHY FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN
Osteopathy offers gentle and effective support for babies and children by relieving tension and promoting natural development. During birth—especially in cases of prolonged labour, C-sections, or assisted deliveries (forceps or vacuum)—a baby’s head and body can experience significant strain. If unresolved, this may lead to issues such as irritability, feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, or digestive discomfort.
Osteopaths trained in paediatrics use gentle techniques such as cranial osteopathy and myofascial release to help relieve these tensions. Conditions commonly supported include colic, reflux, muscle spasms, torticollis, flat head (plagiocephaly), blocked tear ducts, earaches, and recurrent infections.
As children grow, osteopathy can also help with postural imbalances, aches and pains from poor posture, or strains from physical activity and growth. Treatment is always adapted to the child’s stage of development and may include advice for parents on exercises or positions to support progress at home.
Each consultation includes a thorough case history (pregnancy, birth, and current symptoms), a clinical examination, and a gentle, age-appropriate treatment. Osteopathy supports your child through each developmental milestone, promoting comfort, balance, and overall well-being.

OSTEOPATHY DURING PREGNANCY
Pregnancy is a time when women are more aware of the workings of their bodies.
Osteopathy offers a safe, supportive approach to help women feel more comfortable and balanced throughout pregnancy.
Osteopathy can be highly beneficial during pregnancy, helping to manage musculoskeletal pain and other symptoms related to the body’s natural physical changes. As pregnancy progresses, hormonal changes cause ligaments to soften, organs to change sizes and positions, and posture adjusts to support the growing baby. These changes can create new tensions or reactivate previous issues. Gentle, tailored osteopathic treatment can provide relief from common concerns such as lower back pain, sciatic discomfort, nerve compression (including carpal tunnel syndrome), Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP), rib and upper back pain, as well as digestive issues like reflux, nausea, and constipation.
After delivery, it is advised that mother and baby return for structural examination, advice and check-ups and if necessary, for treatment.

What to expect
During your first visit to an osteopath, a detailed case history will be taken to understand both your current symptoms and overall health. Osteopaths are trained to identify not only the cause of your presenting complaint but also any underlying issues that may be contributing to it. A physical examination will follow, which includes assessing your posture and the affected areas — you may be asked to remove some outer layers of clothing to allow for an accurate assessment. In some cases, further investigations such as X-rays or MRI scans may be recommended to support diagnosis and guide your treatment plan. Treatment itself involves a range of non-invasive techniques tailored to your individual needs. These may include cranial techniques, mobilisation, manipulation, fascia release, muscle energy techniques, stretching, gentle functional techniques, dry needling, as well as posture exercises and ergonomic advice.
