Modern life can take its toll on the body. Osteopathy can help encourage a healthier, more adaptable body, so you're better equipped to manage the challenges that it brings. Treating each person as a unique individual, encompassing physical, mental and social factors, osteopathy helps to balance the systems of the body to help encourage and nurture our natural drive for health.
The body can be likened to a machine in which each mechanical part must be able to move freely in relation to one another for overall efficient functioning. Like any machine the body will occasionally need fine-tuning.

Using hands-on manipulation of tissues to restore health and function, osteopathy can help alleviate pain and discomfort from a wide range of problems. Gentle, non-invasive manual techniques are used to increase the mobility of joints, relieve muscle tensions and enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, encouraging the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Your first visit will take up to an hour where a detailed case history will be taken followed by an examination. Questions will be asked about your symptoms and medical history to create a picture of your overall health. A working diagnosis and treatment plan will be discussed, leaving plenty of time for your first treatment.

Pregnancy produces the largest postural change that a woman's body will ever undergo. As the baby grows in the womb and extra weight is gained, the centre of gravity alters resulting in postural changes from week to week. This may lead to a variety of aches and pains. Osteopathic treatment will maximise your body's ability to change and support you and your baby.
Many people believe that babies and children are too young and pliable to suffer from and structural stresses and strains, but in reality they do. When a baby is born it is subjected to enormous forces and strains as the uterus contracts against the resistance of the birth canal to push the baby out.

I have a complicated lower back situation and initially saw Colette about 9 months ago after having upset it yet again. After the first session it was immediately much improved and weekly sessions for a month really made a big difference. I see Colette once a month now for maintenance (!), to help loosen up back, shoulders and anything else that needs it. My body is most grateful. She is professional, helpful and experienced - go and make an appointment!

I had seen a few different osteopaths in efforts to improve severe tendonitis in my wrist and ongoing back/neck pain, and Colette has been the first to treat me holistically and really effectively. For me, this is because she listened carefully and asked the right questions to help her understand the source of the pain, as well as her deep knowledge and experience working both in skeletal and cranial osteopathy.
Colette's treatment has helped both with the physical problems I came to her with, as well as giving me a really grounded and much calmer base to handle the day to day stresses of life

Ive been diagnosed with chronic migraine which have been severe for the past 2 years. I first saw Colette when I was a low point with pain. Colette has helped me to feel in control and helped me to understand and listen to my body; Physically as well as mentally. I have generally a much more positive outlook emotionally and have seen huge reduction with the migraines thanks to Colette’s expertise, knowledge and endless positivity. Thankyou so much 😊

Colette has treated me a number of times for severe headaches and neck tension and every time it has been a fantastic experience. She takes a really holistic approach to your health and goes above and beyond to understand all of factors that may be contributing to your physical issues. She is attentive and makes you feel really comfortable and reassured, and takes the time to listen and address your health concerns in a clear and comprehensive way. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I suffer from Ankylosing Spondylitis and have seen Colette regularly over the years including during and post-pregnancy for a range of muscular-skeleto issues. She has helped improve my mobility and reduce pain significantly and is a calm, personable and consummate professional. She has also treated my infant son to help with severe teething and sleep issues. She’s just fantastic and would highly recommend. An easy five stars!

She's super nice. I can't recommend her enough and thank her for her help.
My upper back, shoulders and jaw were absolutely stiff and I was suffering so much pain. I've visited Colette and after 3 visits I am feeling thousand times better. She is very professional, helpful and kind. She not just treats you but helps you with advice and recommends exercises and shows you how to do them.
