Osteopaths treat a variety of common conditions including low back pain, neck pain, limb injuries, changes to posture in pregnancy; babies with colic or sleeplessness, repetitive strain injury, postural problems caused by driving or work strain, the pain of arthritis and sports injuries.

Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. On your first visit, the osteopath will spend time taking a detailed medical history including important information about your lifestyle and diet. You will normally be asked to perform a series of simple movements. This will allow a full diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your needs.

With their hands osteopaths identify abnormalities within the human structure and function. They then facilitate the body's ability to heal itself through a variety of gentle stretching, mobilising and manipulative techniques. With added exercises and health advice, osteopaths help to reduce the symptoms and improve your health and quality of life.

At this clinic we are particularly interested in the care and treatment of expectant mothers and babies/children. Osteopathic treatment using the cranial approach is very gentle, safe and effective in the treatment of babies, children and adults. Some babies cope very well with even quite stressful births.

For others it may be a different story, and they can display a variety of problems. e.g. crying, irritable babies, feeding difficulties, sickness, colic and wind, sleep difficulties, ear infections and hearing difficulties, asthma and many other common problems.

We live in Wrington and, with both having nearly 20 years experience working in busy Bristol clinics, we pride ourselves in gentle, effective treatment. Feel free to call us for further information. We are registered with most insurance companies including BUPA and PPP.
