Osteopathy is suitable for children at all stages of development, treatments are suitable for all ages. At Charles Street Clinic we aim is to enhance the body's own healing capacity by applying the restorative powers of osteopathy to keep you pain free - and not just from back problems, but also from conditions ranging from headaches to dizziness and digestive problems.
And our treatments are suitable for everyone - from babies and senior citizens to office workers and sports players. We use your first appointment to record a full case history so we can understand the nature of your condition and its history. Then we conduct both an active standing examination and a passive examination lying down to obtain a working diagnosis of your problem as the basis of a personalised treatment plan.

Osteopathy for new mums, babies and children
Report
A woman's body is subject to changes during pregnancy. These changes include the softening of ligaments, increase in weight and changes to posture. This can lead to additional pressure on joints in various parts of the body, including the spine and pelvis.
Our treatments will help your body recover from these additional stresses and strains placed upon it during pregnancy, as well as additional mechanical stresses placed upon it caring for a baby; extra bending and carrying, or by adopting unsuitable nursing positions.Babies skeletons are softer than an adult's, we therefore use gentler techniques such as cranial Osteopathy when treating babies.

Sports massage therapy treats a wide range of musculo-skeletal problems - from tendonitis and frozen shoulder to sciatica and groin strain - as well as preventing the onset of injury. It is by no means restricted to sports players and may be effectively applied to domestic and industrial injuries as well.

The initial consultation will involve a detailed case history and examination. You will normally be asked to undress to your underwear, and to perform a series of movements to assess your posture and identify points of excessive strain or weakness. A diagnosis will then be made and a treatment plan recommended.
