"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

It is extremely effective in treating

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.
