Services
Osteopathy for Adults
Our adult osteopathy service addresses musculoskeletal issues through tailored treatments combining manual techniques, exercise advice, and ergonomic guidance. We specialise in managing back pain, sports injuries, and workplace-related strains while accommodating individual fitness levels and diagnoses. Patients receive comprehensive care focusing on pain relief, mobility improvement, and long-term wellness strategies.
Paediatric Osteopathy
Specialised osteopathic care for children delivered by practitioners with specific paediatric training. We address developmental issues, postural concerns, and injuries through gentle techniques adapted to each child's age and condition. Our approach prioritises safety while supporting musculoskeletal health and functional development in young patients.
Cranial Osteopathy
Gentle cranial osteopathy focuses on subtle manipulations of the skull and sacrum to address tension patterns and improve bodily function. This technique benefits patients with headaches, digestive issues, and stress-related conditions through non-invasive, rhythmic adjustments performed by qualified practitioners.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Specialised MLD therapy enhances lymphatic circulation to reduce swelling and promote healing. Our therapists use light-pressure techniques to address post-surgical swelling, chronic oedema, and immune system support while following precise drainage pathways for optimal effectiveness.
Perinatal Care
Comprehensive osteopathic support throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Our practitioners address musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy, provide preconception preparation, and facilitate postnatal rehabilitation using gentle techniques adapted to each stage of maternal health.

Report
Always find the staff friendly, professional, knowledgeable and happy to effectively treat my back issues, as well as provide guidance on how to minimise issues. Have been looked after them for many years and know I can rely on them to help whenever needed (whether for a major problem with my back, or just to carry out an 'MOT'). I saw Tina at the start of October 2021 to try to help me with pain in my forearms, hands and wrists. She was fantastic and has fingers made from reinforced concrete! I'm delighted to say I'm pain free for the first time in a couple of months : thanks Tina

I had lower back pain and was booked in within 2 days. I saw Alex who was excellent at explaining the problem and gave me exercises and helped me to ease the pain. I was also told I could ring and speak to Alex if I had any worries. An excellent service as well as reception staff who were very helpful and friendly. Excellent Covid regs in place with antibacterial readily
available. I would highly recommend this practice and Alex.

I have been very well looked after by Graeme and his team now for many years. They go above and beyond for their clients - phoning them in their own free time to check on their progress - help ensuring things like your car seat and work station are set up in the optimal position for you to recover and deal with long term issues. I cannot say enough good things about the professionalism and level of care given at this practice. As I am writing this during Covid I would like to also add they have very stringent covid protocols in place that make you feel very secure in receiving treatment at this
