Osteopathy
Osteopathy utilises hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. Our practitioners employ manual adjustments to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, and enhance blood circulation. This holistic approach addresses mechanical imbalances that contribute to pain and dysfunction across all age groups.
Sports Injuries
Specialised treatment for sports-related injuries focuses on restoring joint mobility and reducing muscle strain. We address common issues like tennis elbow, hamstring strains, and shoulder impingements through targeted manual therapy combined with postural analysis to prevent recurrence and improve athletic performance.
Back Pain Treatment
Our spinal care program addresses mechanical back pain through gentle manipulation techniques. We treat conditions ranging from acute lumbago to chronic disc-related issues, focusing on restoring natural spinal alignment while providing tailored exercise plans to strengthen supporting musculature and prevent future episodes.
Arthritis Care
Osteopathic arthritis management concentrates on maintaining joint mobility and reducing inflammation. Through careful manipulation of affected areas, we help alleviate stiffness in hips, knees, and other joints while implementing supportive strategies to manage degenerative changes associated with osteoarthritis.
Pregnancy Support
Specialised prenatal osteopathy addresses postural changes and musculoskeletal discomfort during pregnancy. Our gentle techniques relieve back pain, pubic discomfort, and ribcage restrictions while preparing the pelvis for optimal birthing mechanics through careful structural balancing.

Can you visit me at home?

I foolishly slipped a disc. I was in agony all down my left side from my back to my foot. My son who is a 6ft 4inch Basketball and football player who has had injuries advised me to seek help and said this could take 6 weeks to totally clear (love him). From reviews I rang Philip Stockley who booked me in very quickly he carried out a diagnosis and rectified the problem. I returned today a week later not perfect but at least able to walk, stand and sit without pain only dull aches. I'm 66 years old and in my opinion Philip Shockley has a brilliant manner, extremely knowledgeable. The consulting

I had serious backache for almost 3 years. I could not stand straight and sometimes could not even get off the bed for several days due to severe pain. All specialist diagnosed it as disk problem and they were all wrong. Until I met Philip. No doubt that he is expert at his job and knows exactly what he is doing. After just a session miracle happened and my back pain gone. I highly recommend him as a reliable and extremely knowledgeable Osteopath.
