Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at The Backbone combines traditional techniques with modern approaches to treat musculoskeletal conditions. Our practitioners address spinal issues, joint pain, and postural problems through hands-on manipulation and soft tissue work. Patients benefit from improved mobility, pain relief, and enhanced overall wellbeing through our holistic treatment approach.
Cranial Osteopathy
Specialised cranial osteopathy focuses on gentle manipulations of the skull and sacral bones to relieve tension and improve fluid circulation. This technique effectively treats headaches, migraines, and stress-related conditions while promoting nervous system regulation and overall relaxation through subtle, non-invasive adjustments.
Dry Needling
Dry needling therapy targets muscular trigger points to alleviate pain and improve mobility. This evidence-based technique effectively treats sports injuries, chronic pain conditions, and postural imbalances by stimulating the body's natural healing processes and releasing muscle tension through fine needle insertion.
Pregnancy Osteopathy
Specialised osteopathic care addresses pregnancy-related physical changes and discomforts. Our practitioners help manage pelvic girdle pain, postural strain, and circulatory issues through gentle techniques that support both maternal comfort and optimal foetal positioning throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Online Osteopathy
Remote osteopathy services provide expert guidance through virtual consultations for ongoing care. Patients receive personalised exercise programs, postural assessments, and rehabilitation advice from home while maintaining professional support for musculoskeletal health and recovery planning through secure online platforms.

Ayshe helped me enormously with a bad case of sciatica and bulging disc affecting my mobility. As a keen runner I was pleased to be back within four months and no problems since. Ive kept up with her suggested stretches and preventative measures.

I have been going to Asyshe for the past few years, she is excellentat at what she does. She has helped my back pain and general mobility tremendously. I have recommended Asyshe to family and friends, who she has also treated. Asyshe is very professional and provides great treatments and after care advice. My prior aches and pains have improved alot with Asyshe's help, I now only go for treatment as and when needed, I highly recommend her.

I can breathe deeper and always feel amazingly more relaxed, in less pain and straighter after a treatment. It is helpful to have such a friendly, professional, skilled and experienced osteopath who knows exactly what will help.
