Osteopathy is suitable for children at all stages of development, treatments are suitable for all ages. At Charles Street Clinic we aim is to enhance the body's own healing capacity by applying the restorative powers of osteopathy to keep you pain free - and not just from back problems, but also from conditions ranging from headaches to dizziness and digestive problems.
And our treatments are suitable for everyone - from babies and senior citizens to office workers and sports players. We use your first appointment to record a full case history so we can understand the nature of your condition and its history. Then we conduct both an active standing examination and a passive examination lying down to obtain a working diagnosis of your problem as the basis of a personalised treatment plan.

Services
At Dorchester Osteopaths you're assured of professional treatment from fully qualified practitioners. All our practitioners are registered with the General Osteopathic Council, the UK regulatory body for osteopathy, and undertake at least 30 hours' continual professional development per year as part of their statutory professional obligation.
Call the practice on 01305 265333 to arrange an appointment or to talk through your problem with one of our osteopaths. Osteopathy can relieve many of the common and distracting conditions associated with pregnancy, and the corresponding changes in your body, to give you better quality time during this special period.
A woman's body is subject to changes during pregnancy. These changes include the softening of ligaments, increase in weight and changes to posture. This can lead to additional pressure on joints in various parts of the body, including the spine and pelvis.
Our treatments will help your body recover from these additional stresses and strains placed upon it during pregnancy, as well as additional mechanical stresses placed upon it caring for a baby; extra bending and carrying, or by adopting unsuitable nursing positions.Babies skeletons are softer than an adult's, we therefore use gentler techniques such as cranial Osteopathy when treating babies.

To find out more about the benefits of sports massage therapy or to book an appointment please call 01305 265333. Sports massage therapy treats a wide range of musculo-skeletal problems - from tendonitis and frozen shoulder to sciatica and groin strain - as well as preventing the onset of injury. It is by no means restricted to sports players and may be effectively applied to domestic and industrial injuries as well.
The initial consultation will involve a detailed case history and examination. You will normally be asked to undress to your underwear, and to perform a series of movements to assess your posture and identify points of excessive strain or weakness. A diagnosis will then be made and a treatment plan recommended.

Amazing, professional service. Sam was supportive and not only listened but really heard what I was saying. She quickly identified the problem and has supported my recovery more than I could have hoped for. I cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend Dorchester Osteopaths. You will not be disappointed!!

I have used Charles Street Clinic for several years for osteopathy. They always provide thorough, professional and effective treatments, and are always available to schedule appointments. I have been treated by Paul in the past and most recently, Vitor. He is very knowledgeable and was able to resolve my issue in two visits. I would highly recommend them.

Always a professional and courteous service. My husband and I are always very satisfied with the result. I would highly recommend Dorchester Osteopaths to anyone with any neck/back/shoulder related problems. They take a very holistic and individual approach to achieve the right outcome for their clients.

I was in considerable pain with sciatica when I contacted Sam at Dorchester Osteopaths between Christmas and New Year. She was able to give me an appointment the same day and started treatment. I saw her weekly for a couple of weeks and then after a fortnight. She has sent me links to exercise videos which are really helpful. My next appointment is in a month and the pain from the sciatica has dramatically improved. I'm very grateful for the help from Sam and would highly recommend her.
