Back & neck trouble
Most back and neck pain results from mechanical disturbances of the spine, e.g. from postural strains, joint dysfunction and disc injury.Problems related to work
Poor working posture can contribute to, and exacerbate, daily aches and pains, whether you lift heavy loads, carry school bags, sit at a computer all day or drive for long periods. Treatment and advice on posture, movement and back care can help prevent on-going problems. Preventative and rehabilitation exercises can also be given.Sports related complaints
Osteopathy is, in many respects, the ideal treatment for sports injuries, as it not only addresses the current injury but also treats the way in which the whole body functions and so prevents the same injury becoming recurrent.Pregnancy

Osteopathy can help ease the side-effects of pregnancy, such as digestive problems and pain in the buttock, groin or leg ('sciatica'). After delivery it is advised that the mother return for structural examination, advice and, if necessary, treatment.We treat all ages
