We often take a gentle approach to treatment and use one or a combination of the following treatments:

  • Osteopathy looks at how the joints of the body function and aims to restore good movement by combining joint mobilisations to improve stiffness, manipulations (‘clicking’) and soft tissue therapies such as massage, stretching and myofascial release. Treatments always discuss rehabilitation and often we give appropriate strengthening exercises and dietary advice to help prevent further injury.
  • Soft Tissue Techniques (massage, IASTM, stretching, myofascial release) provides a deep tissue massage to the body tissues that can focus on muscles relevant to the affected area. Along with osteopathy, massage can help restore efficient lymphatic flow.
  • Acupuncture can often help relieve pain from injuries and conditions effecting the back and is great for areas that are too tender to treat with hands on treatments.
  • Kinesiotaping can help with a multitude of things including reducing swelling and bruising along with offering gentle, non-restrictive support to the area.
  • Shockwave Therapy is excellent for injuries that are slow to heal and are an ongoing problem. Using radial pressure waves, the treatment helps to stimulate a healing response and accelerate your recovery.

Each treatment is tailored to your unique needs and can be very different from the next person we treat. We focus on helping you to take charge of your own health again and banish back pain.
