Osteopaths are highly trained and regulated musculoskeletal specialists that take a hands on approach to a patient’s recovery and rehabilitation. Osteopathy doesn’t just treat the musculoskeletal system, but it also works within the neurological, vascular, and lymphatic system, as well as addressing lifestyle factors; aiming to remove barriers to healing and allowing the body to use its own natural healing mechanisms.

In a typical osteopathic appointment, you will have a thorough case history taken. This is to get a good picture of your health and screen for any conditions that may masquerade as a musculoskeletal condition.

You will have an assessment which will include having your blood pressure taken, palpating on and around the area of complaint, performing active and passive movements, as well as other tests and examinations that may be necessary to gain a working diagnosis.

You will have your working diagnosis explained to you before receiving your treatment. The treatment may include a mixture of massage, mobilisations, stretching, manipulations (clicking), cupping, and taping, among others. You are welcome to decline any treatment modality, but be assured that the treatment provided is tailored to your specific needs and condition, and your safety and comfort are always our top priority.
Osteopaths work with local GPs and services and are able to refer you to your for further testing or support if necessary.

89.5% of osteopathic patients had symptom improvement after one week, and at 6 weeks, 96.2% of osteopathic patients reported significant improvement or complete recovery.

A passion for your health

Here is what some of our patients had to say…

  • Gary Hopkins

    Rebecca came highly recommended and I’ve been for several treatments. She is very knowledgeable and will get to the root cause of problem. I’ve been to many chiropractor’s and physio therapists who just treat the issue without getting to the cause.

    Can’t thank her enough for helping.

    Rebecca was amazing with my scars. After just one session the restriction I felt with my scar over my knee is now gone. I also have a scar on my forehead which I am normally very conscious of, however with the scar treatment it is much softer, less raised and my forehead feels so much better. Couldn’t recommend enough.

    I had an amazing session with Rebecca! I felt like I really needed to relax and she provided just the perfect environment. She has a gentle but firm touch that targeted my area of complaint very efficiently. I would definitely recommend her, she is the loveliest.

    Rebecca is a lovely person, she made me feel happy and at ease. I was easily able to discuss my problems with her and everything felt very professional. Would highly recommend.

  • Jimmy Jordan

    I suffer from Dupuytren’s contracture and my GP appeared uninterested in any early treatment. Rebecca explained what the condition was and provided treatment. She gave me stretches and hand massages to do at home also. She advised that although it wouldn’t cure the condition, it can help slow down the development of the contractures. I’ve been self-applying this technique daily for three months and the condition has certainly not got any worse. In fact, I would say that the contractures are softer and more pliable. Rebecca’s advice and her knowledge of the condition was first class. She is friendly, approachable, explains things very well and is very good at what she does.

  • Louise freeman

    I would have no issue recommending Rebecca to anyone! She’s an incredible osteopath who really listened to me. She communicates very well and I feel very secure throughout. Her treatments are always very effective and I always feel like she’s targeting the area of complaint. Will happily continue seeing her.
