Our Osteopathic Philosophy
Our Osteopaths do not believe in getting patients back week after week, our goal is to diagnose your condition, provide treatment, make sure it is working for you, then provide you with tools to manage your condition moving forward to ensure your pain and discomfort does not re-occur.
If needed, your Osteopath might refer you to a GP, an exercise professional, podiatrist, or other practitioners within the practice such as Remedial massage or Pilates if you will receive significant benefit from these treatments.
