Classical Osteopathy

Specialist training in bringing together the science and art of osteopathy as it was originally developed by AT Still, using the key health and body’s principles in an integrative treatment known as the Body Adjustment to treat the person as a whole. 
Osteopathy is a whole body holistic integrative system of medical treatment which takes into account all influences on the body, including biopsychosocial, nutritional and environmental health. 

Cranial Osteopathy including Dental, Headache and Migraine

Specialist training in understanding the complex and subtle intrinsic movements of the bones of the skull in health, and the strain patterns that occur as a result of birth, dysfunctional breathing, injury/trauma to the head, neck or body, and tongue tie/dental/jaw issues which cause ongoing dysfunction and stress throughout the body and nervous system. Manual treatment is applied over the whole body (not just the head) to resolve these issues and integrate and improve the body’s expression of health. Referral to specialist Functional Orthodontist may be required.

  

At our London Osteopathy practices we can assist you to improve your health, well-being and lifestyle, as well as resolving acute and chronic physical and emotional issues. We are proud to have created a very personable and relaxed environment, high professional standards and luxury feel, with a very accessible and relaxed atmosphere. This is to ensure your exact needs are catered for and also to facilitate the change of long term habits and issues. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your visit whilst your issues and habits are being addressed and resolved effectively.

Osteopathy is a unique medical process restoring movement and symmetry to the entire body's structure, bringing back optimal integration of tissues and quality of function to muscles, joints and organs, encouraging freedom from pain and discomfort, enabling a feeling of being centred, grounded and relaxed within the body.

Widely used and recommended by The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to the NHS for successful treatment of low back pain, Osteopathy coordinates all systems of the body connected to and controlled by the structure of the spine. This has the effect of giving relief to all areas of the body including head, neck, shoulder, back, arm, leg and pelvis.

Lucy’s method combines a supportive coaching style with a unique fusion of Classical, Cranial, Functional and Visceral Osteopathy techniques, to create an individual treatment plan for you, based on your complete medical history and physical assessment of your body’s function and structure.

We can assist you in improving your health, well-being and lifestyle, as well as helping to address acute and chronic physical and emotional issues. Our mission is to develop a tailored treatment plan using Osteopathic principles to support and manage your healthcare naturally from short term rescue to recovery and towards long term improvement.
