Safe hands at Rosedale Road Osteopaths
Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints.
When the body is balanced and efficient, like a well tuned engine, it functions with minimum wear and tear, leaving more energy for living.
Osteopathy can help conditions such as back pain; general joint pain, stiffness or injury; muscle aches and pains; sporting injuries; headaches and migraines; disc injury and sciatica; pins and needles and numbness from trapped nerves; golfer’s/tennis elbow; RSI and work-related stresses and strains; asthma and chest complaints; discomforts during and after pregnancy.
Babies and children benefit from osteopath.
