Osteopaths are healthcare professionals who are experts in the musculoskeletal system (joints, muscles and associated tissues) and its relationship to other systems of the body.
Osteopathic practice is a safe and effective form of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of health issues. We see people of all ages, from babies to the elderly and everyone in between, including pregnant women and elite athletes.
Cranial Osteopathy is a subtle form of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body. It is called ‘cranial’ because treatment often involves the head, although other parts of the body such as the spine and tailbone can also be involved.
Sports massage therapy helps alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur due to over-exertion or overuse, massage can be part of the process that aids recovery and enables a return to activity.
Zero Balancing (ZB) is a gentle yet powerful hands-on technique that balances body energy and physical structure. Using finger pressure and held stretches, it invites the release of tension accumulated in the deep structures of the body. The quality of touch provides a point of stillness around which the body can relax, offering the opportunity to let go of unease and pain, both physically and emotionally, bringing about a sense of well-being and body-felt unity.
Shiatsu is a form of treatment based on the same principles as acupuncture, where pressure is applied to specific points on the body using the hands. Shiatsu can help in a wide range of conditions from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. A shiatsu treatment can be a deeply relaxing experience.
