Osteopathy
Osteopathy uses hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues. Our practitioners address back pain, joint problems, and postural imbalances through soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and spinal manipulation. This holistic approach improves mobility and stimulates the body's natural healing processes while considering each patient's medical history and lifestyle factors.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy applies subtle manipulations to relieve tension throughout the body. Particularly effective for infants and adults, this technique addresses birth trauma, headaches, and stress-related conditions by working with the body's rhythmic movements. Our practitioners use this gentle approach to treat misshapen heads in babies and chronic pain in adults.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and improve mobility. By inserting fine needles into specific areas, we release tightness and promote blood flow. This evidence-based technique effectively treats sports injuries, chronic pain, and postural strain while complementing other osteopathic treatments for enhanced recovery.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping applies elastic therapeutic tape to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. This latex-free solution reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and enhances proprioception. We use it to treat sports injuries, postural imbalances, and lymphatic issues while allowing patients to maintain activity levels during recovery.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs combine manual techniques with exercise prescription to restore mobility and function. Tailored rehabilitation plans address work-related injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions. We focus on improving strength, flexibility, and movement patterns to help patients return to optimal physical performance safely and efficiently.

Report
I went to see Cemi to receive treatment for exercise-induced lower back pain. After an extremely professional and revealing initial consultation, Cemi diagnosed the root cause of the majority of the pain I was experiencing. She continued with a session of treatment that left me feeling in considerably less pain and feeling more mobile than I had for several weeks. She gave me advice on how to get back to exercising and I was able to do so almost straight away following her treatment and her advice. I couldn't recommend her more.

Definitely the best Osteopath ever!! Cemi is amazing, she managed to offer emergency appointments to us, myself and my wife in times of emergencies and short notice. She has also treated our 7 years son with his posture. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help!! Truly amazing!

Cimi is absolutely fantastic. After having a bad back fir some time, Cimi managed to find the root of the problem almost immediately. After my first session, I already feel so much better. She is extremely kind and considerate. I felt at ease the whole way through the session. My back needs a lot of work but my god does it feel so much better already! A 5 star service from start to finish

Cemi helped my wife regain mobility after her back was seized up for a year. Since going to see her, she's been able to exercise again. Which has helped her loose weight, and have a better outlook on life too. Life changing!
