Osteopathic Treatment
Traditional osteopathic treatment combines soft tissue techniques and joint mobilisation to restore musculoskeletal function. Our approach addresses structural imbalances through rhythmic movements and targeted interventions. Practitioners assess posture and mobility to create individualised treatment plans that promote natural healing processes.
Cranial Osteopathy
This gentle technique focuses on subtle bodily rhythms through contact points at the head and pelvis. Particularly effective for infants and stress-related conditions, it releases deep tissue tensions without forceful manipulation. Patients often experience profound relaxation alongside structural realignment during these sessions.
Visceral Osteopathy
Specialised visceral techniques address connective tissue restrictions around internal organs. This complements spinal adjustments by restoring whole-body mobility. Practitioners use gentle manual contact to improve organ function and alleviate referred pain patterns through targeted tissue release.
Postural Assessment
Comprehensive postural evaluations identify biomechanical imbalances affecting musculoskeletal health. Practitioners analyse alignment patterns to determine treatment priorities and monitor progress. This assessment forms the foundation for all therapeutic interventions, guiding personalised care strategies.
Home Visits
Flexible home visit options accommodate patients with mobility challenges or specific needs. Treatment duration and techniques adapt to home environments while maintaining clinical standards. Pricing varies based on location and appointment length to ensure accessible care.

Report
We as a family had been visiting a chiropractor for thirty years plus, however with a persistent shoulder issue I decided to pursue other avenues of treatment and I contacted Chris. Chris went above and beyond what I had expected and Chris has in depth knowledge second to none. Needless to say my shoulder issue made a full recovery, the fact that I chose/choose to see Chris three to four times annually now instead of someone we had been visiting for more than three decades says it all.

Report
I came to Chris after years of really bad back problems. I had been to a few different osteopaths and chiropractors. Most of which helped but the problem persisted, and was gradually getting worse. When I had my first appointment with Chris, he found a problem that everyone else had missed. He gave me the treatment I needed and the knowledge to keep improving. Chris is very friendly, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. His service is second to none, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. Nick
