Services
Craniosacral Therapy
This gentle manual therapy focuses on the craniosacral system to alleviate tension patterns affecting the head, spine and nervous system. Our practitioners use subtle palpation techniques to enhance fluid movement and release restrictions, particularly effective for headaches, TMJ disorders and stress-related conditions. Treatment sessions incorporate postural education to maintain therapeutic benefits between appointments.
Mastitis Treatment
Specialised care for breastfeeding-related breast inflammation using evidence-based manual lymphatic drainage and therapeutic ultrasound. Our clinicians address blocked ducts and engorgement through targeted techniques that restore milk flow while minimising discomfort. Treatment includes home management education covering positioning, massage protocols and preventive self-care strategies for ongoing breast health.
Anatomy in Motion
AiM therapy analyses gait and posture patterns to identify compensatory movement habits causing chronic pain. Through structured movement assessments, we develop personalised exercise programs that restore optimal biomechanics. This approach particularly benefits patients with recurring back, neck and joint issues that haven't responded to conventional treatments.
Pregnancy Care
Tailored treatment addresses musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy using gentle mobilisation and postural realignment. We specialise in managing symphysis pubis dysfunction, lower back pain and sciatica through pregnancy-safe techniques that improve pelvic alignment. Sessions include ergonomic advice and movement modifications for daily activities.
Tongue-Tie Therapy
Specialised assessment and treatment for infants with restricted tongue mobility affecting feeding. Our practitioners combine cranial osteopathy with myofascial release to improve oral function while providing parental guidance on positioning and latch techniques. Follow-up care ensures optimal developmental outcomes for affected infants.
