Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy treatments address musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues through hands-on techniques. Practitioners use spinal manipulation, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation exercises to treat back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries. With postgraduate training in cranial and biodynamic approaches, our osteopaths create personalised treatment plans for adults and children.
Cranial Osteopathy
Specialised cranial osteopathy focuses on gentle head and spine adjustments to relieve tension patterns. This technique benefits infants with birth trauma, children with developmental issues, and adults with migraines or TMJ disorders. Practitioners trained through Sutherland Cranial College apply subtle manipulations to improve cerebrospinal fluid flow and nervous system function.
Orthotics
Custom Pegasus orthotics address biomechanical imbalances causing foot, knee, and back pain. Our practitioners conduct gait analysis to design arch supports that correct posture and redistribute pressure. This service combines structural assessment with 3D foot scanning technology to create prescription insoles that improve alignment and reduce musculoskeletal strain during daily activities.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic treatments use highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's healing response. Our practitioners address chronic conditions, women's health issues, and childhood ailments through individualised remedy selection. This approach considers physical symptoms alongside emotional and mental states, with treatment plans developed through detailed patient consultations.
Sports Massage
Sports and remedial massage targets soft tissue injuries and muscular imbalances. Therapists use deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, and stretching to treat sports injuries, postural strain, and repetitive movement disorders. This service includes injury prevention strategies and home exercise programs to enhance recovery and maintain musculoskeletal health.

I've visited numerous osteopaths and physiotherapists over the years and as I'm sure many people know, they can vary enormously. Some just want to hook you up to machines and barely do any hands on work. That couldn't be further from the experience I've had at Osteopathy Letchworth.
Cindy takes time to think about you as a whole person and tries different types of approaches and techniques to see how your body will respond. She's personable and friendly but also respectful of the times you would rather not make small talk. Her adherence to hygiene and santinising throughout covid has been exceptional

I thoroughly recommend this osteopath (or is it osteopathy?) practice. My family have all received the benefit of the their treatments. Not only are they excellent osteopaths but they are wonderful people who have always provided us with a warm welcome and shown immense patience when treating my young son.

I have just had the privilege of being the first patient of the practice’s new Sports Massage therapist, Lorna James. The best massage I have ever had. Thank you Lorna, much appreciated. Straight after the massage I had superb osteopathic treatment from Cindy, who balanced and tweaked the rest of my skeleton and now I feel renewed and ready for operating at peak performance!
