Osteopathy Polegate

If you are suffering with muscle or joint pain, osteopathy is a natural form of relief. It aims to increase blood flow, improving elasticity and relieving tension.

Professional Osteopathy

Our Osteopath Mark Walsh has over 25 years within the osteopathy industry. He is accredited by the Institute of Osteopathy and The General Osteopathic Council (GosC). We always achieve effective pain relief by using manual techniques such as manipulation, soft tissue techniques and stretching. We aim to improve mobility, increase blood flow and relieve tension. This will reduce your body's inflammatory response and therefore reduce pain. Treatment should not be painful and should provide a lasting pain relief.

What does Osteopathy treatment involve?

Your initial consultation lasts around 30 minutes and includes treatment. We will discuss your symptoms and your health to determine if a GP referral is necessary. We will examine and then treat all relevant joints and muscles within the first appointment. The treatment will reduce muscle spasms and inflammation. We use the following osteopathy techniques to achieve significant pain relief:

• Soft tissue - Apply light to firm pressure to the affected muscle
• Articulation - We apply gentle joint movements which will improve flexibility
• Manipulation - Movement which is accompanied by a clicking sound. This technique will only be used if you are comfortable.
