Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment that emphasises the role of the mechanical integrity of the body in the maintenance of health. Osteopaths utilise hands on techniques to optimise the function of the body and allow it to express it's innate health. Bowen Therapy utilises a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue technique that has been used successfully to treat people suffering from a variety of illnesses. Developed by the late Tom Bowen in Australia, this light touch, holistic therapy consists of a series of gentle moves with pauses in between of approximately two minutes to allow the body to respond. The moves are light but precise and can be done through light clothing. Through the gentle rolling of muscles, the fascia - thin, tough translucent sheets of fibrous material that envelop almost all structures in the body – is activated, sending signals to the brain, which stimulates the body’s resources to heal itself. Bowen therapy is safe to use on anyone from babies to the elderly and can produce lasting relief from pain and discomfort. Three sessions may be all that is required for most conditions. A session normally lasts about 40 minutes and frequently results in a deep sense of overall relaxation.

Consequently, simple home-based postural exercises, and advice regarding work position and sports or leisure activities may be given during treatment. Where appropriate, x-rays, scans and diagnostic tests can be arranged for you during a course of treatment. Using Osteopathic techniques, we have developed our own unique snoring treatment that was covered in both the local and national press. The first treatment is free so if you've got snoring problems then why not give it a try. If you are unsure as to whether Osteopathy may help you we will be happy to discuss your case in person or over the telephone.
