  • uncomplicated mechanical neck pain

  • headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic) / migraine prevention

  • frozen shoulder / shoulder and elbow pain

  • circulatory problems

  • cramp

  • digestion problems

  • joint pains

  • lumbago

  • sciatica

  • muscle spasms

  • neuralgia

  • fibromyalgia

  • rheumatic pain

  • minor sports injuries and tensions

When suffering occurs, osteopathy can help to promote, maintain and restore physical and psycho-social well-being. The osteopathic method uses a physical approach while considering a being’s overall health.

Osteopathy is an established, recognised physical medicine. In 1993 the term osteopath became legally protected, like doctor and dentist. This means that only practitioners who meet strict guidelines and standards, set by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), are allowed registration and can call themselves osteopaths.
