Therapies

I use a number of therapies in my Practice, as people visit an Osteopath with many types of complaint.

I use a variety of therapies to treat each person to the best of my ability.

Some people do not like Osteopathic Manipulation and like a much gentler approach, while other people find Manipulation very therapeutic and request it as part of the treatment.

Where a chronic, muscular condition needs treatment, Deep Massage or Acupuncture will often be a more appropriate approach to treatment.

When a person has suffered a trauma such as Whiplash, Cranio-Sacral Therapy is the most effective approach. A person in severe pain will usually respond well to gentle treatment and is less likely to find treatment an ordeal.

Elderly and convalescing people also benefit from gentle Osteopathic Treatment, as do children.

Treatments are tailored for the patient. I like to discuss the various approaches and likely outcomes of treatment with a new patient.
