Types of Osteopathy Services
We offer specialized osteopathy services for pain relief, improved mobility, injury recovery, and physical function.
Cranial Osteopathy for Headaches, Tension, and Stress Relief
Cranial osteopathy uses gentle, light-touch techniques on the head, neck, and spine to relieve tension and reduce pain. This approach addresses the cranial rhythm—small movements in the skull and spine that affect the nervous system. Treatment is commonly used for tension headaches, migraines, TMJ pain, stress, and sleep issues.
Cranial osteopathy techniques may help reduce headache frequency, ease jaw tension, improve sleep quality, and decrease stress-related symptoms. Sessions use gentle pressure and are suitable for adults and children.
Visceral Osteopathy for Digestive Issues and Abdominal Pain
Visceral osteopathy uses gentle manual techniques on internal organs including the stomach, liver, intestines, and surrounding tissues. Treatment focuses on improving organ mobility, reducing tension, and supporting circulation. This approach is used for digestive issues, bloating, constipation, abdominal discomfort, and adhesions after surgery.
Visceral techniques apply gentle pressure to assess and treat restrictions in organ movement. Sessions may help reduce bloating, ease digestive discomfort, improve bowel function, and decrease abdominal tension. Treatment does not replace medical care for digestive conditions.
Structural Osteopathy for Posture, Back Pain, and Joint Function
Structural osteopathy focuses on the musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissue. Treatment addresses posture imbalances, joint restrictions, and muscle tension using manual adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and joint mobilization. This approach is commonly used for back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip issues, and postural strain.
Treatment may help improve joint mobility, reduce muscle stiffness, correct postural imbalances, and decrease pain from repetitive strain or injury. Your osteopath may recommend exercises and movement modifications to support long-term improvements.
Pediatric Osteopathy for Infants and Children
Pediatric osteopathy uses very gentle techniques for infants and children. Treatment addresses colic, feeding difficulties, sleep issues, ear infections, developmental delays, and musculoskeletal concerns. Techniques are adapted to a child's age, size, and specific needs using light touch and gentle movement.
Pediatric sessions typically last 30-45 minutes. Parents remain present during treatment and receive guidance on positioning, handling, and exercises to support their child between visits. Treatment may help reduce crying from colic, improve feeding comfort, ease reflux symptoms, and support motor development.
Sports Osteopathy for Athletic Performance and Injury Recovery
Sports osteopathy addresses sports injuries and movement restrictions that affect athletic performance. Treatment includes soft tissue release, joint mobilization, functional movement assessment, and biomechanical analysis. This approach is used for muscle strains, ligament sprains, overuse injuries, running-related pain, and mobility limitations.
Sports osteopathy focuses on improving movement quality, reducing injury risk, and supporting faster recovery. Treatment may help restore range of motion, reduce muscle tension, correct movement imbalances, and improve performance mechanics. Sessions work for athletes at all levels—from weekend runners to competitive players.

Osteopathy for Chronic Pain Management
Osteopathy for chronic pain addresses long-term pain conditions using gentle manual techniques. Treatment focuses on reducing muscle tension, improving joint mobility, supporting circulation, and decreasing nervous system sensitivity. This approach is used for fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, arthritis, persistent neck pain, and long-term injury effects.
Chronic pain treatment typically requires multiple sessions over weeks or months. Your osteopath may combine manual therapy with exercise guidance, movement education, and self-care strategies. Treatment aims to reduce pain levels, improve daily function, and support better pain management over time.

Geriatric Osteopathy for Senior Mobility and Balance
Geriatric osteopathy uses gentle techniques adapted for older adults. Treatment addresses age-related stiffness, reduced mobility, balance issues, arthritis pain, and fall risk. Techniques focus on improving joint function, reducing muscle tension, maintaining flexibility, and supporting safe movement in daily activities.
Treatment for seniors uses very gentle pressure and is adapted to individual tolerance and health conditions. Sessions may help reduce joint stiffness, improve walking comfort, support balance, and maintain independence. Your osteopath may recommend simple exercises and movement modifications to practice at home.
