Business Details
Cranial Osteopathy in High Wycombe
At the Candlewell Clinic, we have dedicated over three decades to providing specialised cranial osteopathy treatments for individuals of all ages, from infants to the elderly, as well as animals. Founded by Susan Clark, a highly qualified osteopath with an MSc in Osteopathy and extensive postgraduate training, our practice combines traditional techniques with advanced methodologies such as Biodynamic Osteopathy and the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM). Our approach focuses on addressing the root causes of discomfort rather than merely treating symptoms, ensuring a holistic and patient-centred experience. With a career spanning nearly 30 years, Susan has taught at prestigious institutions like the British School of Osteopathy and worked at the Osteopathic Centre for Children, establishing herself as a trusted expert in her field. We prioritise creating a relaxed, safe environment where patients feel comfortable throughout their treatment journey.Our services extend to somatic experiencing, a body-based therapy for resolving trauma, and we collaborate with organisations like the RSPCA to support animal health. Every treatment is tailored to the individual, incorporating insights from detailed case histories and hands-on assessments. We encourage open communication, offering free initial consultations to discuss concerns and determine the most effective care plan. Our commitment to continuous professional development ensures that we remain at the forefront of osteopathic practice, integrating the latest research and techniques. Patients consistently report improved well-being and relief from chronic conditions, as evidenced by testimonials highlighting the transformative impact of our treatments.

Services
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy addresses musculoskeletal and neurological issues through gentle manipulation of the skull's subtle movements. This technique benefits patients with headaches, migraines, and chronic pain by restoring balance to the body's systems. Ideal for all ages, it promotes natural healing and improved well-being.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic experiencing resolves psychological shock and stress by guiding the body's self-regulating mechanisms. This non-invasive therapy helps patients manage anxiety, panic attacks, and trauma-related symptoms through mindful awareness of physical sensations, fostering emotional resilience and nervous system stability.
Animal Osteopathy
Animal osteopathy provides gentle treatments for pets and farm animals, addressing joint pain, mobility issues, and recovery from injuries. Tailored to each animal's needs, this therapy enhances comfort and quality of life, often complementing veterinary care for chronic or post-surgical conditions.
Paediatric Treatments
Paediatric osteopathy supports children's development by addressing birth trauma, coordination issues, and growth-related discomfort. Using delicate techniques, we help young patients improve mobility, sleep patterns, and overall vitality, ensuring a foundation for healthy physical and emotional growth.
NARM Techniques
NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model) techniques address developmental trauma by integrating body awareness and emotional regulation. This approach helps patients overcome chronic stress, low self-worth, and relationship challenges, fostering lasting psychological and physiological healing through compassionate, embodied practices.
