Osteopathy is a gentle and effective hands-on approach to healthcare, based on the principle that the way your body moves influences how it functions.  Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals.

In an Acupuncture treatment, fine needles are gently inserted, improving blood circulation by dilating the blood vessels and therefore, circulating oxygen more efficiently around the body. This results in decreasing inflammation, stimulating the release of pain-relieving beta-endorphins and generally relaxing the body, bringing back balance and relieving pain. 

Many patients will leave their first treatment relaxed. Others feel a difference by the next day.  A course of 4-6 weekly, accumulated treatments is best to experience positive changes.

Patients with chronic conditions find a maintenance treatment every 4 or 6 weeks, keeps their issues manageable or at bay.
