Welcome to Elvina's Osteopathic Clinic
Is Osteopathy For You?
Yes!! It can help relieve that minor niggle or the chronic pain that you think is normal. Do you get up in the morning with a minor niggle and think, this is old age, it is something I have to live with? Well, the truth is that it is unlikely to be something you have to live with but something that can be treated using Osteopathy or CranioSacral Therapy.
I can help to improve your performance in the gym. If you feel like there are points where you cannot push yourself further because you are worried about injury, then why not try osteopathy? If you think it is not for you, either because of what you have heard or prior treatments, then why not try CranioSacral Therapy?
Osteopathy has been in use since 1892. In 1993, it became fully regulated by the General Osteopathic Council of which I am a fully registered member and I adhere to their practice guidelines. Almost any pain relating to the joints, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues that join them can benefit from osteopathy. It is particularly effective in providing short-term improvement in pain and mobility following an acute episode of lower back pain. Osteopathy can relieve tension headaches where the underlying cause is stiffness and tension in the neck. Osteopaths also treat a number of conditions related to the workplace and can provide preventive advice.
You don't need to wait to be in pain to enjoy the benefits of osteopathy - it can also help enhance your performance in sport by improving your posture and enabling the body to work to its maximum. I am dedicated to optimising your health and preventing recurring conditions as I am aware of how frustrating and debilitating pain can be. I use a "whole person" approach to treatment and see not just a neck pain or back pain but an individual. The osteopathic treatment you receive will address the musculoskeletal or structural integrity of your body. Treatment is tailored to you and your needs and this is what makes osteopathy stand apart from some other forms of treatment.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a treatment that uses a light touch approach to release tensions held deep in the body tissues, and in doing so relieves pain and improves function on all levels in the body.
CranioSacral Therapy centres on the association between the cranium and the sacrum, which have been technically established to work together to pump cerebrospinal fluid throughout the body. Any unknown interruption of this mechanism can result in many health problems.
Osteopathy & Pregnancy
Did You Know Osteopathy Can Help During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy related back pain and sciatica can be treated safely by Osteopathy. I have had the pleasure of treating women through their pregnancies.
Osteopathy & Old Age
Did You Know That 80 Is The New 70 & That 70 Is The New 60?
So, those of you saying at 60+ you are old and your aches and pains are from old age, why not come and see if Osteopathy can help?
As you get older, some joints will have worn out and there is the chance that you have some level of osteoarthritis, but this does not have to stop you doing things and it does not necessarily require you to take tablets all the time. Osteopathy can help because it gets joints moving and helps rebalance muscle tensions.
As an Osteopath, I will also look at other things in your day-to-day life that you may take for granted which can be contributing to problems you have - ranging from how you walk or sit, to your exercise routine.
