Structural osteopathy is a hands-on, physical therapy that combines a variety of massage techniques with chiropractic-style manipulation. Cranial osteopathy is a gentle but extremely effective form of osteopathy that works with the Involuntary Motion or Cranial Rhythm. This is a subtle rhythmical shape-change that is thought to occur in all body tissues. This form of osteopathy is excellent for children and babies. By considering each person as a whole both types of osteopathy aim, rather than just treating the symptoms, to discover the underlying cause of any presenting complaint. As such osteopathy may help to alleviate: Muscular tension, aches or strains; Joint pain and stiffness; Rheumatic pain; Lower back and pelvic pain; Upper back and neck pain; Frozen shoulder; Tennis elbow; Tension headaches; Sciatica or other nerve pain; Sports or occupational injuries; The aches and pains associated with pregnancy; Colic and the sleeping difficulties sometimes suffered by babies and young infants. We look forward to treating you.
