Osteopathy is a safe, hands-on, non-invasive medical treatment approach to physical health and wellbeing. A registered osteopath has refined and continues to refine their hands’ palpatory skills through thousands of hours of dedicated practice. This makes us rare experts in finding and treating dysfunctions with our hands. Cranial osteopathy in particular is very unique in its gentleness, subtle yet powerful effects.

Appointments last 30–45 minutes, allowing time for a thorough assessment and an un-rushed treatment. Many patients’ symptoms are often relieved after just 1-3 weekly treatments, and in many non-chronic cases fully resolve after just 4-6 treatments.

Questions are welcome before, during or after treatment. Your comfort and understanding matter.

Initial Consultation & Examination

Your first appointment helps me understand your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. This confidential information forms your medical record, supports diagnosis, identifies any wider health concerns and guides treatment. Your records are stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

I will assess your posture, movement, spine, relevant joints and other musculoskeletal or visceral structures to identify possible causes of your symptoms. Please wear clothing that allows the area of concern to be examined. Where appropriate, I may also check your cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive or nervous system.

You are welcome to bring a chaperone. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian with parental consent.

First appointments usually allow time for treatment to commence, unless your case is very complex.

Treatment

Treatment aims to ease pain and restriction, improve function and integration, calm the nervous system and restore balance to the whole. I will explain each technique and adapt treatment to the body’s response.

Advice & Home Support

You’ll receive practical advice and manageable exercises to support recovery, including posture or movement guidance for daily life.

Review & Progress

I will review your progress and adapt treatment as you improve. Some people respond quickly; others benefit from longer-term care. Babies, children and teenagers should be assessed periodically to avoid chronic conditions manifesting in response to growth, habits, stress or injuries.
