Osteopathy
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a system of healthcare with a strong emphasis on the interrelationship of the body’s muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and nerves. Through gentle yet effective manipulation, osteopaths are able to relieve many of life’s aches and pains quickly and completely.
NICE guidelines recommend physical therapy, such as Osteopathy, for the early management of non-specific low back pain.

- back pain and stiffness
- sciatica
- neck and shoulder pain and stiffness
