Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that focuses on the structural integrity and function of the body. It is recognised by the British Medical Association as a discrete clinical discipline. It is distinctive in the fact it is holistic and recognises that a lot of the pain and discomfort we feel is derived from changes in the function of the body’s structure as well as damage caused by disease.
Osteopathy uses many of the same diagnostic and examination procedures used in conventional medicine. Its core strength however lies in the unique way the patient is assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint. This is complemented by the distinctive manual methods of treatment applied to suit the needs of each individual patient.
Osteopaths use their hands both to investigate the underlying causes of pain and to carry out treatment. Treatment focuses on the musculo-skeletal systems of the body (the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints etc) and uses a variety of techniques. These may vary from muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmical joint movements (articulation) to high velocity thrust techniques. More gentle techniques are often also used, especially in the very young and more elderly.
Osteopathy is a safe, natural and non-invasive treatment tailored to the individual patient. Osteopaths assess and treat people of any age from the elderly to the newborn and from pregnant women to sports people. Osteopathy is mostly associated with the treatment of low back and neck pain. However, it is not confined to the study of backs, which is a common misconception. Many other conditions can be successfully alleviated with osteopathic treatment.
All osteopaths in the UK are regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
Sports Massage Therapy
Would Sports Massage benefit me? Anyone can benefit from Sports Massage. The prime purpose of Sports Massage Therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. This physical activity does not only include playing sports. Many activities we do in our everyday life will cause problems including manual working, gardening and computer usage, to name a few. People in physically demanding jobs may develop many similar characteristics to sports injuries. Those in not so physical jobs may also benefit as they can have stress which is occupational, emotional or postural related. Where minor injuries and strains occur, due to overexertion or overuse, sports 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.
Rehabilitation
Sports massage can speed healing and reduce discomfort during the rehabilitation process of muscles which have cramped, torn, bruised or ache.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.
They maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease. The profession helps to encourage development and facilitate recovery, enabling people to stay in work while helping them remain independent for as long as possible. Physiotherapy is a science-based profession and takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes the patient’s general lifestyle.
At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.. You can benefit from physiotherapy at any time in your life. Physiotherapy helps with back pain or sudden injury, managing long-term medical condition such as asthma, and in preparing for childbirth or a sporting event.
Shockwave
Shockwave therapy is a treatment method that uses a specialised machine to help heal injuries by sending pulses of energy into the affected area. This helps to kickstart the body’s natural healing processes, and is a popular treatment for stubborn or long-term injuries which have not responded to more traditional treatment methods.
Shockwave therapy is carried out by a trained practitioner and used alongside other therapies such as osteopathy or physiotherapy. Rather than being a standalone service, shockwave therapy is incorporated into standard physical therapy treatment sessions along with other treatment modalities, according to what is most appropriate for any individual patient.
