Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics.
These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body and lead to more serious problems. Osteopaths are often very skilled at treating treat foot problems when they occur, but sometimes don't take an overview as to why these problems originally occurred, seeing that as the realm of the podiatrist.

Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and treatment that recognises the role of the musculoskeletal system in the healthy functioning of the body. The musculoskeletal system is a key element in maintaining health. This system makes up two-thirds of the body's mass. It impacts and reflects the condition of all other systems in the body.
A system of complementary medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles, used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is now widely practiced in the West.

If you are new to osteopathy, it is natural to have some questions about your treatment. Your osteopath will begin by gathering details about your symptoms, general health and medical history. They will then carry out physical examinations including any necessary medical tests, observe your posture and observe simple movements to help assess how your body is functioning.

I had sciatic type pain for over a year. I was ready to demand an MRI scan! I had 3 appointments with Gavin. That's all. After each appointment there was progress. For the first time in a year, I felt like i was standing on both feet, balanced, not dragging my right leg along with me. It is now almost a month later, and still no pain. I have even felt comfortable to start to do some running, something I have never done before. Wholly recommend.

I have been a patient of Gavin's for many years, starting when I was a regular hockey player and frequently experienced inflamed knee and elbow joints and pulled muscles.
Gavin always made a careful diagnosis of each problem and then explained his proposed strategy clearly to me. As long as I played my part and followed his suggested remedial exercise program, the injury was eventually cured.
Years later, various joint and muscle issues still occur just from my everyday living and I am pleased to say that Gavin's professional treatment is as effective as ever.

I have been going to see Gavin for a couple of years now. By choice! I have never met a practitioner before who treats you for your ailment without pushing you for a follow up. It truly does make you feel that your treatment is quality and he is confident in what he does.
Then the proof is in your body. I work hard and. train hard and I have mad levels of stress and anxiety, so I punish my body daily. Through various treatments Gavin is able to re-set me so I can go on with my life. I always feel better after for weeks/months on end.
He is also a bloody nice chap and always a good chat.

Gavin provided a really effective treatment in a reassuring manner which included describing why he was taking each action he took - which made it easier to happily agree to the various movements and manipulations. Also, the treatment was provided in a clean safe setting and was fairly priced. Thoroughly recommended.

I've been seeing Gavin for a couple of years with various aches and pains and he is always able to see what the root of the problem is and fix it. Recently he provided me with some treatment for pain I was experiencing through a hip joint problem and debilitating pain in my back. After some quick back massage, joint manipulation and some acupuncture my pain had gone! All sorted! I can thoroughly recommend him. Thanks Gavin!
