Frequently asked questions
General
Osteopathy is a gentle, safe and effective hands-on therapy focused on assessing and treating the whole musculoskeletal system. The aim of osteopathic treatment is to restore function to the affected area to relieve pain, discomfort, and restricted movement. Osteopaths use a range of techniques including soft tissue therapy, stretching, joint and spinal mobilisation, and exercise advice. Importantly, osteopaths assess the body as a whole and aim to identify and address the underlying cause of your symptoms, not just the area of pain.
Myotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, particularly relating to muscles, joints and nerves. Myotherapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, dry needling, trigger point therapy, cupping, joint mobilisation and corrective exercises. Treatment is often targeted and tailored to specific injuries, chronic pain patterns, or movement dysfunction.
Remedial massage focuses on relieving muscle tension, reducing stiffness, and improving circulation through targeted soft tissue techniques. It can be especially beneficial for tight, overworked muscles, stress-related tension, and general muscular discomfort. Many people find it deeply relaxing while still being therapeutic and supportive for recovery.
All three therapies offer valuable benefits. The most suitable approach depends on your individual needs, presentation, goals, and personal preference. We take the time to discuss your concerns and work with you to choose a treatment style that feels right for your body and supports your long-term health.
