Most people can benefit from osteopathy. Babies and Children At this practice we are experienced and interested in the treatment of babies and young children. Gentle osteopathic treatment often proves effective in the release of unresolved mechanical strain experienced at birth. Children usually respond very quickly to treatment for anything from sleeplessness, colic and glue ear to muscular aches and pains from growth spurts. Children under 16 usually prefer to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Favourite toys, books and treats are useful in distracting or entertaining young children when treatment is being given! |
Pregnant Women We can treat women in various stages of pregnancy. Treatment is obviously gentle and safety is always our first concern. Periodic treatment during pregnancy can help the body adjust to the increasing weight and changing posture. A mobile back and pelvis can reduce the discomfort level of the later stages of pregnancy, and even labour! We can also assist with the recovery period following birth when the pelvis and lower back are readjusting to the altered stresses and strains |
Elderly Elderly patients are welcome. Advancing age usually makes one more susceptible to strains. Problems such as osteoporosis and spondylosis are obviously taken into consideration and great care is directed to applying gentle treatment to relieve symptoms. Sports Men and Women All our practitioners are experienced in dealing with sports injuries. We can give advice regarding training and rehabilitation. We also stock a range of supports and strapping. |
