Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy addresses musculoskeletal issues through manual techniques like soft-tissue massage and joint manipulation. It focuses on anatomical balance and physiological function, treating conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries. Patients benefit from improved mobility and pain relief without surgical intervention.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy uses subtle techniques to detect and release bodily tensions. Ideal for sensitive patients, it treats migraines, stress-related disorders, and postural imbalances. This approach promotes deep relaxation and is safe for newborns to elderly individuals, enhancing overall well-being.
Biodynamic Osteopathy
Biodynamic Osteopathy focuses on the body's intrinsic 'breath of life' to restore harmony. It addresses emotional and physical trauma, aiding anxiety relief and chronic pain management. Patients experience profound relaxation and emotional balance through this meditative, patient-led treatment approach.
Paediatric Care
Specialised care for infants and children, using gentle techniques to address birth trauma, colic, and developmental issues. Treatments support neurological development and physical comfort, offering parents reassurance through non-invasive, evidence-based interventions tailored to young patients.
Postural Assessment
Postural assessment identifies musculoskeletal imbalances contributing to pain or dysfunction. Through targeted adjustments and exercise guidance, patients achieve improved posture, reduced strain, and enhanced physical performance, preventing long-term complications from poor alignment.

Anne was a big help to me a few years ago when she was at North Shields . I'm having problems with my back again & I'm thinking of making a appointment with her.

Excellent caring treatment. Ann has helped me no end with my whiplash. I will hopefully continue to see her for ongoing back/neck care.
