Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of physical hands-on therapy. It loosens joint restrictions and muscle tightness to enable the body to move as it should, and prevent further injury. Our Osteopaths apply this using muscle soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, medical acupuncture and exercise prescription
Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a technique used by manual therapists. A small acupuncture needle is inserted into Myofascial trigger points. Myofascial trigger points are small taught hyperirritable points in muscles which cause pain and restrictions within a muscle, these can become chronic and lead to long term pain.
Clinical Pilates
Pilates was formed in the early 20th century by a man called Joseph Pilates who was a gymnast and bodybuilder, who had suffered frequent ill-health as a child. It was originally called "Contrology", using a series of carefully controlled precise movements to strengthen the core muscles, or as Joseph liked to call it the "Powerhouse". These muscles are so important as their role is to support the spine and pelvis and if these muscles are not functioning as they should the end result is often lower back pain or pain around the pelvis area.
