Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by focusing on your bodies structure and how your body is functioning. As part of this service, we would understand your case history, assess, and treat accordingly for a long term resolution. Treatment includes muscle and soft tissue work (massage) joint mobilisations, joint manipulations (cracking & clicking), stretching techniques and also exercise & lifestyle advice.
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. It helps increase blood flow, reduce pain, and promote tissue repair.
It is commonly used to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendon injuries (e.g. Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow), shoulder pain, hip pain, and muscle tightness.
Shockwave therapy is quick, requires no downtime, and is often used alongside osteopathic treatment to support recovery and improve movement.
Acupuncture is a way of 'tricking' the body's nervous system into creating its own pain relief. It also increases blood flow to the area. As part of this service, very fine needles are strategically placed in the body. In some instances, the needles may be inserted further away from the source of pain, as this unlocks a pain response pathway. You may feel very slight discomfort from the initial insertion of the needles, but this is perfectly normal and actually a good thing!
Sports taping is used to stabilise an injured area (or an area prone to injury during a sporting event).It also increases blood flow to that injured area which can decrease any swelling. We will assess your needs and strategically apply the tape to give the maximum support possible. If you are going to undertake a sporting event, we would help get you to peak performance by using all services described
