Osteopathy

Osteopathy can treat a variety of ailments which affect the joints and muscles of the entire body. Osteopaths are frequently consulted about disorders such as sciatica, spondylosis, neck pain, arthritis and rheumatism, as well as ‘frozen shoulder’, tennis elbow, foot pain, migraine, knee injuries, R.S.I., sports and disc injuries. Statistics claim that four out of five Britons will be crippled by backache at some point in their lives, so it is no surprise that more and more people are choosing to consult an Osteopath for their back pain instead of just ‘putting up with it’ and hoping it will go away. Consequently Britain’s Osteopaths treat over 7 Million patients a year. The majority of back pain often results from mechanical disturbances of the spine such as postural strain, joint derangements and spinal disc injuries.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage focuses on restoring balance and proper function to the musculoskeletal system (bones and muscles). It is often used to relieve chronic muscle tension throughout the body, and can also break down scar tissue and "knots" deep in the muscles. Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic approach in which a practitioner uses different manual techniques and tools (such as forearm, elbow or fist) to release restrictions deep within the muscles. The massage approach is typically very slow, and the pressure adjusted according to the patient’s condition.

Kinesiology Taping

This method is a rehabilitative technique that supports the body’s natural healing process whilst supporting the muscles and joints. It is used to treat various muscular, joint and neurological conditions. It involves a specially designed form of tape being applied to a specific area. This provides tissue support, increased mobility, and reduction of inflammation, thus aiding the body’s healing process whilst reducing pain and aiding daily movement. It is often used in conjunction with other therapies, particularly sports massage.



With therapists working across a wide range of techniques, we are ideally placed to offer a fully holistic approach.

With therapies that target not only the physical side of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, but also the psychological aspects that are being increasingly noted as crucial in aiding swift recovery, mental focus and promoting a general sense of complete well-being.

Swedish Massage

The most widely practised form of massage, Swedish massage provides relief for muscle pain, stiffness in the joints due to general lifestyle factors or clinical conditions such as Osteoarthritis, and it can aid recovery from injury. Swedish massage may incorporate up to five styles of stroke; sliding/gliding, kneading, rhythmic tapping, friction and vibration/shaking. Studies suggest that Swedish massage may also help us manage and even reduce stress.





Acupuncture

A therapy derived from ancient Chinese medicine it is used to relieve pain such as headache, migraine and discomfort within the musculoskeletal system (bones and muscles). It involves fine needles being inserted into the skin at specific sites, stimulating the sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles of the body. This prompts the body to release pain-relieving endorphins providing a form of natural pain relief.





Cupping

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine used to reduce tension in the muscles and improve blood flow to the tissue, thereby easing pain and stiffness and helping the body recover after injury. For this reason it is a technique often incorporated during deep tissue massage if requested. it may also reduce inflammation and promote a feeling of relaxation and general well being. During the therapy silicone cups are placed on the skin and a vacuum is created inside the cup. The cups may be left in place for a short period of time, or the therapist may move the cups across the skin for a massage-like effect. This therapy may leave red marks on the skin where the cups have been in place, however this is normal and only temporary.
