We also offer:
- Pre-habilitation – because prevention is better than cure, we can help you to decrease your risk of injury whether than be due to the demands of sport, work or life in general.
- Rehabilitation – rehabilitation post-injury or post-surgery won’t just stop when your osteopathic treatment sessions finish. We will be able to provide you with tools and advice to continue gaining strength and confidence in your body again.

Mindset Coaching/NLP
Utilising the technique and strategies of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy® and Hypnotherapy you will be guided through the identification areas of yourself and life you’d like to improve and how you can reach those goals. This is a great way to help leave the past in the past so you can experience true personal growth and transformation. Having a mindset coach is a valuable asset in creating a future you love.
Some of the benefits include:
- Allow you to move on from the past
- Overcoming limiting beliefs, including beliefs about yourself & your opportunities
- Improve communication and leadership skills
- Improve productivity and time management
- Enabling successful goal setting with clear plans to reach those goals
- Improving stress management
- Creating long lasting positive habits
Sports Massage
“Sports massage” is a misleading name because it’s not just for the people doing major physical activity. Everyone can benefit from sports massage no matter their level of daily exercise.
Some of these benefits include:
- Enhancing circulation
- Increasing tissue elasticity and therefore flexibility
- Reducing muscle tension
- Relieving painful muscles as a result of tension or posture-related pain
- Reducing risk of injuries in the future
- Recovering from intensive physical activity
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) also known as shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that uses a machine to deliver focused sound waves (not an electric shock!) to stimulate the healing process.
Some of the benefits include:
- Pain relief
- Inflammation reduction
- Promotion of tissue regeneration
- Function restoration
- Fast recovery
- Fewer potential complications
- No anesthesia
- Non-invasive
- No medication
- Fast treatment: 20 minutes per session
- Significant clinical improvement: often seen 6 to 8 weeks after treatment
Conditions we can use shockwave to treat:
- Plantar fasciitis (pain on the sole of the foot)
- Achilles tendinopathy (pain in the back of the ankle and calf)
- Tennis/golfers elbow
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy (often responsible for shoulder pain)
- Trochanteric bursitis (hip pain)
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Patella tendinopathy (pain below the kneecap)
- Bone injuires – such as shin plints, non-union fractures and stress fractures
Deep Tissue & Relaxation Massage
Rather than being driven by injury or pain, relaxation massage is for exactly what it says on the tin: relaxation. It’s great for unwinding and treating yourself to some important ‘me-time’. You shouldn’t have to wait until you’re in pain before you have a massage.
Deep tissue massage is a stronger version of relaxation massage for people who prefer more pressure. It is designed to help relieve tension, improve sleep, decrease stress and aid recovery from sports or injury.
