Services
Back Pain Treatment
Specialised osteopathic treatment for acute and chronic back pain, addressing facet joint issues, disc injuries, and muscular strain. We employ gentle spinal movements, massage, and stretching to restore mobility and reduce inflammation. Patients receive ergonomic advice and targeted exercises to prevent recurrence and support long-term spinal health.
Sciatica Management
Targeted therapy for sciatic nerve irritation, combining hip muscle release techniques with lumbar spine mobilisation. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve compression through soft tissue work and postural adjustments. Patients learn stretches to alleviate symptoms and improve lower limb function while minimising future injury risks.
Shoulder Injury Therapy
Comprehensive care for shoulder conditions including rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder. Treatment involves joint articulation, muscle relaxation techniques, and progressive mobility exercises. We address compensatory patterns affecting neck and spine alignment to restore full shoulder function and prevent chronic stiffness.

Treatment includes gentle articulation, circulation improvement techniques, and post-treatment exercise guidance to preserve joint function and enhance quality of life for arthritis sufferers.
