Treatments for Adults

  • Your first appointment will last approximately one hour and is designed to give you time to feel heard, understood, and at ease. During this session, we will take a thorough case history, discussing your current symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, work, stress levels, and any past injuries or events that may be relevant. This holistic assessment helps build a clear picture of what may be contributing to your discomfort.

    A physical examination will then be carried out, looking at how your body moves and identifying any areas of restriction, tension, or imbalance. All examinations and assessments will be explained clearly, and your consent will always be sought. If appropriate, we will confirm that your condition is musculoskeletal in nature and suitable for osteopathic treatment.

    We will then discuss our findings together and agree on a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs, goals, and comfort. Your first treatment will take place during this appointment, using gentle and effective techniques appropriate for you. Throughout the session, you are encouraged to ask questions and share any concerns, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and involved in your care.

  • Follow-up appointments are designed to continue your care and support your recovery. Each session focuses on treating your current concerns while reassessing your progress and adapting treatment as needed. Hands-on osteopathic treatment is combined with personalised advice on exercises, posture, movement, and lifestyle factors to help support your recovery between appointments.

    The aim of follow-up treatments is not only to relieve symptoms but to address the underlying causes of your condition, helping to restore balance, improve function, and support long-term wellbeing.

  • For your appointment, please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move easily. You may be asked to perform simple movements during the assessment. In some cases, treatment may be carried out directly on the skin; however, your comfort and dignity are always respected, and this will be discussed with you beforehand.

    If you have any relevant medical reports, scan results, referral letters, or a list of current medications, please bring these with you, as they can be helpful during your assessment. You may also wish to bring any questions or concerns you would like to discuss during your appointment.

Treatments for Babies and Children

  • Caring for little ones is a privilege, and we understand how important it is for parents to feel informed, comfortable, and supported. Our paediatric osteopathic sessions are gentle, calm and always adapted to your child’s age and needs.

    Below is a simple guide to what you can expect when you visit us.

  • Your first visit gives us plenty of time to get to know you and your child. We begin with a warm welcome and an open conversation, so you can share anything you feel is important — from pregnancy and birth history to how your baby or child has been developing, feeding, playing, moving or settling in general life

  • A gentle, child-led assessment
    Your osteopath will observe your child’s general movement, comfort and posture in a relaxed, friendly way. Babies may be assessed while being held by you, lying on the couch, or even while feeding — whatever helps them feel at ease.

    Soft, hands-on techniques
    If appropriate, we may begin using gentle osteopathic techniques to ease areas of tension and support comfortable movement. Everything is done slowly and sensitively, always guided by how your child responds.

    Time for your questions
    You are encouraged to ask anything — no question is too small. We’ll explain what we’re noticing, how osteopathy may help support your child’s comfort, and what you can expect going forward.

    The initial consultation typically lasts a little longer so that no one feels rushed and your child can settle naturally.

  • Follow-up sessions build on the foundation we created during your first visit. These appointments are usually shorter and focus on your child’s ongoing comfort, gentle treatment, and any changes you’ve noticed since your last session.

  • Review and Check in

    We strat by catching up with you about how your baby or child has been, any chages in comfort, movement or daily routines.

    Gentle Treatment tailored to their needs

    We continue with calm, hands -on techniques, always mindful of how your child is feeling on the day. Sessions may involve soft tissue work, gentle rhythmic movements, or subtle balancing techniques to help ease tension and support healthy function.

    Supporting you, too

    We may offer simple advice on things like positioning, comforting,m or ways to support your child’s general musculoskeletal wellbeing at home, always practical and easy to implement.

    Follow-up sessions are relaxed, responsive and designed to be a positive experience for both you and your child.

  • Every child is unique, and we take great care to honour that individuality. Our approach is always gentle, respectful and led by your child’s comfort. Whether they need to feed, cuddle, nap or explore during the session — that’s absolutely fine.
