Understanding body pain
Most aches come from muscles, joints and the tissues around them. They can range from mild stiffness to pain that stops you sleeping or working. Often the sore spot is not the cause: a hip that moves poorly can show up as back pain, and a stiff upper back can show up in the neck.
If pain has lasted more than a few weeks, keeps coming back or is getting worse, it is worth having it checked rather than waiting for it to settle.
How osteopathy helps
Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment using gentle manipulation, stretching and massage to ease pain and improve how joints and muscles move. Osteopaths are regulated in the UK by the General Osteopathic Council.
We ask about your symptoms and history, then look at how you move to find where the problem is coming from.
Hands-on treatment matched to you, which may include soft tissue work, joint mobilisation and stretching.
Simple exercises and advice for home and work, so you keep improving between visits.
Book an initial consultation and we will assess the problem, explain what is going on and agree a plan with you.
FAQs
No. You can book directly with us. If you are claiming through health insurance, check with your insurer whether they need a referral first.
It depends on the problem and how long you have had it. We will give you an idea at your first appointment and review your progress at each visit.
Comfortable clothing you can move in. We may ask you to remove some outer layers so we can see and assess the area, and you can always ask for a towel or gown.
Yes. We assess the whole body, so pain in several areas can be looked at together in the same appointment.
Health Insurance Coverage
Most major health insurance providers cover our services. Payments are made at the time of treatment, and we provide invoices for reimbursement. Please check with your insurer for details.
