Foetal positioning can have a significant impact on labour and birth. Spinning Babies® is a physiological approach that focuses on balance, gravity and movement to help babies find an optimal position for birth. Learn how osteopathic treatment during pregnancy can support pelvic balance, improve comfort, and complement the Spinning Babies® framework in preparation for labour.
Dysmenorrhea (Period pain) is often viewed as purely hormonal, but structural tension within the pelvis may play a significant role in menstrual pain. Learn how acupuncture can help relieve cramping by reducing myofascial restriction, improving circulation, and restoring balance within the pelvic and nervous systems for longer-term menstrual health.
As we age, it’s normal to notice changes in strength, posture and balance, but conditions like sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and osteoporosis (weakened bones) can make those changes more pronounced. At our clinic, both osteopaths and physiotherapists work with patients to manage these conditions through a combination of targeted movement therapy and personalised care.
Allostatic load is the physical toll your body pays when stress doesn’t let up. Instead of recovering after a challenge, your system stays stuck in overdrive, affecting your hormones, heart, immune function, and even your brain. Research links high allostatic load to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, and depression. Osteopathic treatment offers a hands‑on way to calm the nervous system, ease inflammation, and release the tension your body holds onto—helping you recover from the long-term effects of stress.
