Osteopathy
Our osteopathic treatment addresses musculoskeletal conditions through hands-on techniques, posture correction, and rehabilitation exercises. We specialise in treating back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries using evidence-based methods. Each session includes comprehensive assessment, tailored treatment plans, and preventative advice to promote long-term wellness.
Back Massage
Targeted back massage therapy focuses on relieving muscle tension, improving mobility, and reducing chronic pain. We employ deep tissue techniques combined with osteopathic principles to address postural imbalances and sports-related injuries. Treatment includes postural analysis and corrective exercise recommendations for sustained improvement.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage sessions promote relaxation and circulation through rhythmic stroking techniques. This complementary therapy supports recovery from musculoskeletal conditions while reducing stress levels. Practitioners adapt pressure intensity to individual needs within our holistic treatment approach.
Pain Management
Our pain management approach combines osteopathic manipulation with rehabilitative strategies for chronic conditions. We address both immediate symptoms and underlying causes through tailored treatment plans, including exercise programmes and lifestyle modifications. This comprehensive method helps patients achieve long-term pain relief and improved functionality.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy services integrate with osteopathic treatment to enhance recovery from injuries and surgeries. We focus on restoring mobility through targeted exercises, electrotherapy, and manual techniques. Treatment plans are individually tailored to address specific conditions while promoting overall musculoskeletal health.

Questions
Why choose an osteopath for pain management?
Osteopaths provide hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, combining diagnosis with tailored therapy. Our practice maintains strict professional standards through regulatory registration and continuous training.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No referral required. However, health insurance claims may need GP confirmation. We can liaise with your doctor if required for comprehensive care coordination.
Are x-rays required before treatment?
Not routinely. If needed, we can arrange private MRI scans within a week or refer through NHS pathways with your GP's agreement.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute cases typically require 1-4 sessions. Chronic conditions may need longer treatment. Maintenance sessions are available for ongoing management of degenerative conditions or recurring pain.
Is osteopathy safe?
Yes, with proper screening. We modify techniques for individual needs. Post-treatment soreness occurs in 50% of patients but typically resolves within 48 hours with simple self-care measures.
Can I return to work after treatment?
Yes, though we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 1-2 days. We can provide supportive taping or braces if needed to facilitate continued work participation.

Report
I'm so glad I decided to see Geoff Hale about my back problems. I saw dramatic improvement after my first session which has continued to improve after each visit. Geoff is very professional and explains everything in detail. After just 3 sessions I feel like a new woman. I highly recommend.
