Professional osteopathic treatment in St Albans, Hertfordshire

Wear loose fitting clean clothing, for example T-shirt with track suit bottoms and adequate underwear (including bra and pants).

During the consultation at Charmouth Clinic, the patient will be asked what their problem is, where it hurts, and how it started. The patient must also inform the osteopath of any injury, illness, hospital admissions, and medical conditions they have, as this may affect the treatment. 

Treatment usually starts with some soft tissue massage to the affected area and stretching of the muscles. It is then possible to move to deeper structures including the joints, which can be encouraged to move gently. In this way it is possible to obtain some improvement in function and some reduction of pain in whichever part of the back, neck or limbs that is causing a problem.
