Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a holistic healthcare approach that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a broad range of health conditions. It’s founded on the principle that the body’s well-being is dependent on the harmony of its muscles, joints, skeleton, and how well these systems work together.

Osteopaths undergo 5 years of university level training, making them highly skilled in assessing and treating not only the musculoskeletal system but also how it affects overall health. 

By using manual techniques, the main goal of osteopathy is to restore balance and function to the body.

Osteopathy is highly effective for managing musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, headaches, sports injuries, joint stiffness, and much more. Rather than simply treating symptoms, osteopathy addresses the root causes of discomfort, aiming for lasting relief and enhanced overall health.

 "Gemma is an extremely caring person, who goes above and beyond with her clients. She is the most hands on practitioner (Osteo) that I have seen before! I don't even have to tell her where I am sore, she just knows... nothing gets past her hands. I can't recommend her enough." - G.K, Rosebud
