Choosing the Right Therapy for You
Deciding on the right therapy can be challenging. Here’s a brief overview of each type of therapy we offer to help you make an informed choice:
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system. It involves gentle manipulation of muscles and joints to improve movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Osteopathy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including back pain, headaches, and repetitive strain injuries.
Best for:
- General aches and pains
- Chronic pain conditions
- Mobility issues
- Trapped nerves
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy is a gentle form of osteopathy that focuses on the subtle movements of the cranial bones and the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid. This therapy can help with conditions such as migraines, stress, and sleep disturbances. It is also commonly used for babies and children to address issues like colic and birth trauma.
Best for:
- Headaches and migraines
- Stress
- Tension
- Babies and children with colic or sleep issues
Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. It involves deep tissue techniques to release muscle tension and improve circulation. This therapy is not only for athletes but also for anyone experiencing muscle tightness or soreness from physical activities.
Best for:
- Athletes and active individuals
- Muscle tightness and soreness
- Injury prevention and recovery
Dry Needling
Dry needling / medical acupuncture is a technique that uses thin needles to target trigger points in muscles, promoting pain relief and improving movement. It’s particularly effective for chronic pain and muscular injuries. While similar to acupuncture, dry needling focuses more on muscle tissue and trigger points.
Best for:
- Chronic muscle pain
- Trigger point therapy
- Muscular injuries
The Mummy MOT
The Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal assessment designed to check the strength and function of the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. It is tailored for new mothers to help them recover from pregnancy and childbirth. The assessment includes a thorough examination and personalized exercise plan.
Best for:
- New mothers
- Postnatal recovery
- Abdominal and pelvic floor health
