How We Help
What is Osteopathy
At Peninsula Osteopaths, we strive to bring you back to optimal health and mobility. Each individual has unique needs, which means you will receive a specific combination of activities or treatments to help you find wellness.
Joint Manipulation
Reduced range of motion in the joints of your spine and limbs may give rise to asymmetry and abnormal loading. This malalignment may be associated with poor functioning of your body. You may experience sciatica, back pain and headaches. Osteopathic manipulations are performed using minimum force to maximise patient comfort.
Soft Tissue
Tense muscles and related connective tissues may be associated with ill health. You may experience limb, back, chest and neck pain. There are a wide range of approaches to effect a relaxation of the soft tissues. Our approach will often include techniques such as stretching, inhibition, functional and muscle energy. All of these are hands on and are carefully focused to the appropriate areas.
Cranial
Cranial osteopathy is a subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle manipulative pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout your body. Although it is commonly recognised as a treatment for new-borns and infants our osteopaths will implement their treatments with the use of cranial techniques for all ages where appropriate.
Visceral
The internal organs facilitate key body functions, like the absorption of essential nutrients or disposal of waste products. Dysfunction can arise for a number of reasons, such as scarring due to trauma, infection, operative procedures, or diseases. You may be experiencing a stomach-ache, constipation, diarrhoea, back pain and posture problems. Techniques employed to treat your internal organs are gentle and work with your body.
