Osteopathy

Osteopaths are experts at treating musculoskeletal complaints. This includes a variety of conditions, much more than just back pain. Osteopathy is a hands on approach, encouraging the body to return to health. Techniques are wide-ranging and beyond purely manipulation, enabling treatment of a great variety of conditions successfully. We believe in improving the body’s flow of blood, using massage & soft-tissue work we liberate tissue & speed up the bodys natural healing process.

​

Osteopathy is recommended by the NHS (NICE guidelines 2016). The growing of evidence based research means your GP can recommend a course of osteopathy for specific complaints.

​

Treatments are tailored to each patient and are suitable for babies through to the older person. If you have any queries, do call for a free telephone consultation. All the osteopaths working at the Tarka clinic are registered with the General Osteopathic Council.
