Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and manual treatment which is recognised by the British Medical Association. In 1993 it became the first complementary health care profession to be given statutory recognition, so giving patients the same safeguards they have when they consult a doctor or dentist.
Treatment
The osteopath focuses on the way the body inter-relates with its parts: bones, muscles, nerves and organs. They diagnose and treat faults, enabling the body to restore to normal function. Treatment may include manipulation, soft tissue work, massage or gentle cranial sacral techniques.
Cranial Osteopathy
The cranial approach is increasingly being considered as a treatment of choice for people of all ages. Babies and young children can suffer from complaints attributed to mechanical strains acquired before or during birth. These include feeding difficulties, disturbed sleep, and irritability. These earlier strains may manifest themselves in later life. This is a gentle and suitable method of treatment that can also be used with the frail and elderly.
Symptoms that can be treated:
- Arthritic Pain with Joint Stiffness and Swelling
- Constipation and IBS
- Headaches and Migraines
- Muscle Tension and Spasms
- Neck and Back Pain
- Neuralgia
- Pain in any Joint

- Pregnancy Related Pain, including SPD

- Shoulder Pain including Frozen Shoulder

“At the end of my pregnancy I was in so much pain and could hardly walk. The doctors told me it was just because I was pregnant and said all I could do was take painkillers and put up with it. After three sessions with Lucy not only had the pain gone but I could walk freely and I actually enjoyed the end of my pregnancy – bliss! Lucy certainly has magic hands.” Emma – 30
“When my son was born I struggled to feed him due to the colic, every feed time was a challenge. He was very unhappy and I thought he would never smile! After a few sessions with Lucy I noticed a huge difference and at the end I had a happy, very smiley baby who was easy to feed. It was like I had a brand new baby. Lucy helped me enjoy the early baby days again, which was priceless! I can’t thank Lucy enough for all she did with Max.” Max – 6 weeks
