Health is different for everyone, and osteopathy is an amazing framework or philosophy that can be tailored to each individual. Osteopaths use their hands to diagnoses and treat. They spend years training and learning how to palpate (feel) what different tissues feel like, whether they are in good balance and health or struggling. All of us have an amazing capacity to heal ourselves, which gives us great resilience, but when our capacity to heal is reduced for some reason, osteopathy is the tool that can support you so regain that resilience.
Health is not just about our physical wellbeing, it is also how we balance our mental and spiritual wellbeing. Overwhelm, stress, grief, shock and all types of trauma have a physical manifestation in our bodies. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is allow yourself to feel all your emotions, however difficult, because the only ‘bad’ emotion’, is an unexpressed emotion.
To be able to feel and access your own potential for health, is not just about being pain free. It’s about knowing how to maintain your health, and having the knowing and the tools, so you can feel what your body needs for health. This is unique for everyone, and we pride ourselves on helping you find the right tools for you.
Pain
Pain is different for everyone, sometimes the character of pain can be helpful in diagnosis, but with chronic pain for example in inflammatory arthurites or fibromyalgia, the pain pathways become extra efficient and transmitting those signals, meaning pain can be more readily felt.
Osteopathy looks at not only the causes of acute pain but how to manage more chronic long term pain.

Felicity is simply fabulous. I hadn’t been to an osteopath before so wasn’t sure what to expect but her calm, confident nature quickly put me at ease and her treatments have helped me overcome a variety of health issues and leave me with a lovely sense of wellbeing. She also has an amazing ability to ask just the right question! I would thoroughly recommend her.
