• Work-related and repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
• Postural and mobility problems

Osteopathy is also a suitable therapy for children and the elderly.

We use a broad range of treatment techniques

Your osteopath will analyse your condition then select appropriate treatment from a range of options such as:

Soft tissue manipulation (massage)
Involves gentle, sometimes firm, hands-on massage techniques aimed at releasing tension and adhesions in tense or shortened muscles. Your Bodyunity practitioner specialises in soft tissue techniques and will often use these along with others to treat your condition.

Joint manipulation
Involves a very small movement applied to a joint with minimum force and maximum accuracy. This often produces a ‘click’. This technique aims to decrease pain and improve the quality of movement of stiff and painful joints.

Muscle contraction and stretching
Involves gentle muscle contractions and practitioner applied stretches to help improve mobility and muscle control, induce muscle relaxation and decrease pain.

Joint mobilisation and articulation
Involves rhythmically moving a body region to improve blood flow, nerve supply and movement, and decrease pain.

Cranial osteopathy
Is a gentle therapy which corrects imbalances in the body centered around the skull, vertebral column and sacrum. CranioSacral therapy generally uses light touch to evaluate the ease and motion of the fluid waves in the cerebral spinal fluid, releasing the restrictions that are found.
