Philip incorporates traditional osteopathy and cranial osteopathy in his treatments, using each approach individually or in combination depending on the treatment needs of each patient.
Osteopathy involves the treatment of structural and mechanical problems where ever they occur in the body - from head to toe. Osteopathy focuses on treating the causes of musculo- skeletal problems rather than just the symptoms and stimulates the body’s own self-healing ability, thereby aiding recovery.
Before any treatment begins a detailed history is taken and an analysis of the condition is carried out. Analysis takes into account structural, nutritional, hereditary, environmental and mental/emotional factors as appropriate. Osteopathic treatment offers a hands-on approach via manipulation, soft-tissue techniques, articulation and cranial techniques. Exceedingly gentle and non-invasive treatment techniques can be used, making them suitable for all ages from babies through to the elderly.
Philip has a particular interest in how poor posture, coupled with the stresses and strains of daily living, can have a long term effect on the muscles and structure of the body.
