What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual therapy based on the anatomy and physiology of how the body should function. If the structures of the body are not functioning properly this can lead to pain, stiffness and even illness. We aim to restore maximum whole body health by treating those underlying structures causing your complaint. By getting to the root of the problem we aim to give lasting effects.

Cranial Osteopathy is a very gentle, yet powerful, system of osteopathic medicine working on the "involuntary motion" in the body. Involuntary motion is the normal motion of all body tissues to allow healthy function and allow the body to accommodate external stresses. Osteopaths assess this motion and treat any perceived blocks, for example those caused by trauma and illness. In babies, the birth process, growth spurts, and fevers can also cause problems. Osteopaths may focus on the head and low back, but can assess and treat from any part of the body.
