Osteopathy

Osteopaths are manual practitioners working to asses and identify the regions of the body which are causing biomechanical restrictions or blockages. Often the range of motion of joints can become limited through injury, poor posture, sedentary lifestyle and/or repetitive strain. Using a variety of osteopathic techniques such as Muscle Energy techniques, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Joint Mobilization, Myofascial mobilization and Visceral manipulation is a quick, easy and harmless way to correct the imbalance, allowing the body to function at an optimal level.

Osteopathic philosophy embraces the concept that the human body has the natural ability to heal itself.

Osteopath sessions vary in length (60 minute, 45 minute or 30 minute) for your first visit we would suggested a longer treatment to cover your health history. Children and babies can also benefit from osteopath treatments.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-invasive health care modality derived from the study that there are reflexes in the body which connect to the glands and organs of the body-the body has the ability to heal itself. When the human body is under a state of “imbalance” brought on by stress, illness, injury or disease, vital system in the body can be blocked and will prevent optimal functionality in the human body.

A reflexologist applies pressure to reflex areas where nerve endings and blood capillaries exist in each foot/hand therefore kickstarting the body’s inborn healing mechanisms.

“The cliche saying “less is more” yup, that’s right, if you try to carry ALL the mulch in one load, you are risking lower back discomfort.
