Osteopathy is a method of diagnosis, rehabilitation and prevention, as such it is regarded as a primary care profession. Rather than simply treat the symptoms, the goal of osteopathy is to find and treat the underlying cause of pain or injury.
Osteopathy recognises that the body should be in a state of balance, therefore by treating the structure, osteopaths enable the body to heal itself by restoring the it’s natural function.
Osteopathy is beneficial for people of all ages, from babies and children, through teens, to adults and seniors. Osteopathy is also particularly effective for treating pregnant and post partum women. Treatment is specific to each individual and therefore differs according to the unique patient.
Osteopathic techniques include myofascial and soft tissue treatment to release muscular tension, manipulation and articulation of joints to aid mobility, cranial therapy to rebalance the body and fascial and visceral techniques to release deeper restrictions.
Various conditions presented in practice include:
The collective name for the organs of the chest, pelvis and abdomen is Viscera. As such Visceral osteopathy releases the tension of the attachments points of these organs to improve their function. Tension from these points can exert a pull on the spine through their ligament attachments. Visceral osteopathy can also treat functional problems of restricted breathing and poor digestion by addressing the motility of the visceral organs.

Went twice to see Sophia for back pain. Sophia has a nice touch and explains what she is doing. Wonderful results few days after with the exercises she sent me to practice at home. Highly recommended. Michael Cable
Amazing service and experience for my newborn baby. Eglantine is extremely knowledgeable, health conscious and gentle, and I feel my little girl really benefited from her sessions. Will definitely be back! Ashley Racine
Eglantine is a brilliant Oesto. She has sorted out my chronic shoulder and jaw problems, I now see her regularly to keep me in optimal health. Eglantine will forever be my “go to” person for mine and my families health needs. Paula Felgate
Hightly recommend. Had some treatment here with Sophia, she was fantastic. What I Initially thought was a big problem was easily fixed in two sessions and she gave great follow up exercises. Christopher Phillips
Eglantine is someone I trust with my eyes closed. She is knowledgable, gentle, thorough and loves what she does. I have seen her for treatment many times over the years and I always refer friends. She never disappoints! Highly recommend. Maude Huguet
