Herefordshire Osteopath

Herefordshire Osteopath provides osteopathy and soft tissue massage in Hereford. Care is for musculoskeletal concerns, with first appointments and follow-up appointments focused on assessment, hands-on treatment and movement advice.

Osteopathy appointments involve taking a history, looking at the cause of the issue and using manual techniques where appropriate. Care may include manipulation or mobilisation of muscles and joints, soft tissue massage, stretching, education, lifestyle advice and exercises. A personalised movement programme may be used to support day-to-day movement.

Soft tissue massage is available for achy muscles, tension and stress. The practice also refers to home based movement programmes for people who want to move more at home, and Pilates for which further information is offered by the practice.

Initial osteopathy consultations are available online or in person. Soft tissue massage is in person only. During an osteopathy appointment, assessment may include questions about medical history, current symptoms and lifestyle, plus a physical examination of posture, flexibility and range of motion.

The clinician has a master's degree in osteopathy and a background in health and wellbeing of over 13 years. The approach described by the practice combines hands-on treatment, education, advice and coaching, with treatment choices based on the person being seen.
