Treatment
We offer the following treatments
Ostepathy & Cranial Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment which lays its’ main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. Although best know as a treatment for bad backs and painful muscles and joints, it can in fact be used to treat a wide variety of illness. An osteopath assesses a patient from a mechanical, functional and structural standpoint and then uses a variety of manipulative techniques to return the functions to normal
Cranial Osteopathy (or Craniosacral Therapy) is a specialized area of osteopathy which uses the rhythmic pulse of the cerebrospinal fluid for diagnosis and treatments. It is a particularly gentle technique and therefore most suitable for babies, pregnant woman and others of similarly sensitive disposition
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing system which is used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. In addition to treating specific symptoms connected to the various physical and psychological conditions it can also be used to improve the overall well being of a patient and thus act as a preventative measure against further illnesses.
Very fine (and painless) needles are inserted into various acupuncture points which can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help to restore its natural balance. This has also been shown to cause the release of our own natural pain killers, endorphin and serotonin
