What we treat

Hips, knees, shoulders, ankles. Joint pain can significantly limit what you're able to do and how you feel day to day. It's also often very responsive to treatment, even in cases that have been going on for a long time.

We see patients with arthritic conditions, hypermobility, post-surgical rehabilitation, and general wear-and-tear. Whatever the diagnosis, the approach is the same: understand the whole picture, work with what you have, and find ways to keep you moving.

Headaches

Many headaches, particularly tension headaches and those that build at the base of the skull, are closely linked to the neck, jaw, and upper back. Posture, stress, and restricted movement in the cervical spine can all play a role.

If you're getting frequent headaches and haven't found a clear cause, it's worth exploring whether the musculoskeletal system is a contributing factor. We work with tension and cervicogenic headaches, and also see patients where jaw tension is part of the picture.

Hormonal changes, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and perimenopause can all affect the musculoskeletal system in ways that are often overlooked. Pelvic girdle pain, hip and lower back changes during and after pregnancy, and the general physical demands of different life stages are all areas we're interested in and experienced with.

If you're not sure whether what you're experiencing is something we can help with, just get in touch.

Whether you're a runner dealing with a recurring hamstring issue, a cyclist with knee pain, or a weekend footballer who's picked up a strain, getting back to what you love as safely and quickly as possible is the goal.

With a background in personal training and Pilates, treatment here goes beyond the injury itself. We look at movement mechanics, strength, and load management to help you return to sport well, reducing the chance of it happening again.

Back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic care, and one of the most treatable. Whether you've woken up with a stiff neck, developed chronic lower back pain from long hours at a desk, or are dealing with something more persistent, we'll take the time to understand exactly what's going on before we do anything else.

We look at posture, movement patterns, and the way different parts of your body are loading and compensating. Treatment usually combines hands-on work with practical guidance on movement, exercise, and day-to-day habits that can make a real difference long-term.

Nerve pain can be one of the most uncomfortable and unsettling things to experience. Whether it's a sharp, shooting pain down the leg, a burning or tingling sensation in the arm, or the kind of deep ache that's hard to locate, nerve-related symptoms can significantly affect your day-to-day life.

Sciatica is one of the most common presentations we see, usually caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back or buttock. But nerve pain can come from many sources, including disc problems, tight muscles, and restricted joints that place pressure on surrounding nerves.

Treatment focuses on reducing that irritation, restoring movement in the areas that are loading the nerve, and giving you the understanding and tools to manage it well going forward. Recovery from nerve pain can take time, and we'll always be honest with you about what to expect
