The clinic works with headaches, migraines, neck pain and related conditions; shoulder pain, upper back tension and arm discomfort; back pain, sciatica and hip issues; knee injuries, ankle sprains and foot problems. Osteopathic care for the upper back, shoulders and arms may use hands-on techniques including soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation and gentle manipulation.

An initial consultation includes a medical history, discussion of current symptoms and health goals, and questions about past injuries, surgery, chronic conditions and current medication. Lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress levels and sleep patterns may also be discussed.

The physical examination can assess posture, mobility and areas of pain or discomfort. It may include tests of joint range of motion, muscle strength and flexibility, before a personalised treatment plan is set out.
