"Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating
damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments,
nerves and joints. When the body is balanced and
efficient, just like a well tuned engine, it will
function with the minimum of wear and tear, leaving
more energy for living." General Osteopathic
Council
What is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial Osteopathy is a type of treatment that
uses very gentle pressure to encourage the release
of stresses throughout the body, especially the
head and sacrum. It is extremely effective in
treating people of all ages, from birth to old
age.
What can be treated?
Typical problems that can be helped by being
treated by an osteopath:
Back pain and
joint problems, including sciatica
Headaches and migraines
Neck and shoulder pain
Arthritic conditions including
rheumatism
Breathing problems including
asthma and hyperventilation
Sports injuries
Repetitive strain injuries
and carpal tunnel syndrome
Postural problems (including
during pregnancy)
Tennis and golfers elbow
Muscle and joint pain as
a result of another condition or side effect
of drug therapy
Who can be treated?
We can treat all ages including children and
the elderly.
Do I need a GP referral?
No, however, if you wish to know more or are
unsure if your complaint is suitable for osteopathic
treatment please call and we can advise you on
the appropriate treatment, whether that might
be osteopathic or otherwise.
I have suffered from a severe stress injury to
both lower legs which was stopping me from training
and affected my racing. Physiotherapy helped in
the short term to alleviate some of the pain but
I was referred to an Orthopaedic consultant who
diagnosed an 'oedema of the right fibula associated
with sub periosteal fluid, suggesting a significant
stress injury'. Other than rest and pain killers,
no immediate solution was provided.
It was suggested
that I see Paul Lewis, although I did not understand
what he could do to help, I went along. I was
very impressed with the treatment I received,
especially the cranial therapy and I can now train
and race without any pain in my legs.
