Osteopathy
Because adjustments are a part of life

Osteo involves the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation and massage of the skeleton and musculature. So if you're suffering from back or neck pain, headaches, arthritis, repetitive strain injuries, vertigo, sciatica, sports injuries or tendonitis, you should consider consulting an Osteopath. And when you do, we've got your back (no matter how sore it is).

What does osteo treatment involve?

Osteopathy involves soft tissue work such as stretching, and manipulation of bones and muscles to promote mobility and restore your body's balance.
