Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy restores musculoskeletal function through gentle manipulation techniques. We treat back pain, joint issues, and postural problems by addressing structural imbalances. Our approach combines soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, and patient education for lasting results.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain relief and healing. This traditional technique complements osteopathic treatment for chronic pain and inflammation. Patients report significant improvements in conditions like migraines and joint discomfort.
Posture Assessment
Posture assessments identify movement restrictions caused by modern lifestyles. We analyse biomechanics to create corrective exercise programmes. This service helps prevent repetitive strain injuries and improves overall musculoskeletal health.
Sports Injury
Sports injury treatment focuses on rapid recovery from athletic strains and sprains. Our rehabilitation combines manual therapy with tailored exercise plans. We help patients return to peak performance while preventing future injuries.
Visceral Osteopathy
Visceral osteopathy addresses internal organ mobility and its connection to musculoskeletal health. This specialised technique improves digestive function and relieves referred pain. Treatment requires advanced training in abdominal anatomy and gentle manipulation.

Report
Ann has magic hands and has always found a way to treat a painful muscle problem - neck, back, hand, leg, etc. I've been going to Ann every 3-4 weeks for many years. She's very nice and understanding. During Covid she's done a fantastic job of keeping everything clean and following the rules. I recommend giving her a try if you have any regular pains and mobility issues.
