Osteopathy


​Osteopathy is a primary health care system, complementary to other medical practices. It is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to the treatment and management of a wide range of conditions such as 
  • Low Back pain
  • Neck / Shoulder pain
  • Arthritis
  • Pelvic / hips / legs dysfunctions 
  • Sports Injuries
  • Postural issues due to driving / work or pregnancy

​Sports Massage Therapy


​The prime purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension building up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.

Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively.

It can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether one is an athlete, ardent keep-fitter or a once a week jogger.
