About Us

Between the two clinics we currently treat approximately 120 osteopathic patients per week. These patients will range from young babies to those of a great age. Complaints will include back, knee, shoulder, neck & head pain, much as you would expect an osteopath to treat. We also treat babies who cannot suckle, do not sleep well, and suffer from colic or glue ear, as well as a range of problems in older children.
