Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
It is a very subtle approach which uses gentle manipulation and is suitable for adults as well as babies and children. All the cranial osteopaths at froc are fully qualified in structural osteopathy and have extensive undergraduate and postgraduate training in this specialist field. If you would like to discuss in more detail whether cranial osteopathy would be appropriate for you please call us on 01342 823722 or email us at admin@79.170.44.81.
At froc we are asked frequently to assess children by their parents who are often patients themselves. This is sometimes relevant particularly when there is a family history of musculoskeletal problems. In the modern world children are undoubtably spending a lot more time sitting than even a generation ago.
Sports injuries are diverse in terms of mechanism of injury, how they present in individuals and how the injury should be managed. Overuse injury which develop over time as a result of overusing certain parts of the body or poor technique or inadequate equipment. This is the very ethos of osteopathy.
Ergonomics is "the study of people's efficiency in their working environment" (Oxford English Dictionary). Although the country's workforce has largely swapped heavy manual labour for sitting in offices, musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions have been the primary cause of absenteeism for the past 5 years, with the UK having the highest rates in Europe.

I was treated by Graham for long term hip and knee pain related to, but only partially caused by, arthritis. I cannot commend his treatment highly enough. In my experience, his thorough, careful, informed and analytical approach to treatment options combine with immense skill and experience to deliver outstanding results. I found him personable, indeed good company, without ever being intrusive; a total professional.

As a regular visitor to an Osteopath with a long term back problem, I would highly recommend Graham Ganson at FROC. Through regular treatments and his great tips on self care and maintenance, I have been able to alleviate the problems. Graham, Sasha and the team are friendly and very accomodating to fit in any emergency minute appointments. Thoroughly recommend.
