Osteopathy is a complete medical system which puts primary emphasis on efficient and elegant movement. This may be used purely to treat bodily pain but has far-reaching implications for health and general well being.
Osteopathy can consist of gentle soft tissue stretching, rhythmic movement, and easing of passive joints, as well as traditional high velocity thrust techniques. Accurate diagnosis is the prerequisite of successful treatment and you will spend up to one hour on your initial visit. You may be surprised how this treatment can increase the realignment of structural abnormalities and deviations.
Charlie also uses Acupuncture as appropriate in his treatments. This uses fine disposable needles, to stimulate the body’s own natural healing mechanism.
