Services
Osteopathy
Our osteopathic treatments address musculoskeletal conditions through hands-on techniques including soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and cranial therapy. We treat acute injuries, chronic pain, and postural issues while focusing on improving mobility and reducing inflammation. Patients receive tailored exercise programs to support long-term recovery and prevent recurrence of symptoms.
Remedial Massage
Customised remedial massage sessions target muscle tension and soft tissue restrictions using deep tissue work and myofascial release. Treatments address sports injuries, repetitive strain, and stress-related muscular issues while promoting circulation and accelerating the body's natural healing processes through targeted manual therapy techniques.
Pregnancy Massage
Specially adapted massage therapy for expectant mothers addresses common pregnancy discomforts including pelvic girdle instability, back pain, and oedema. Our certified practitioners use safe positioning techniques and tailored approaches to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prepare the body for labour while ensuring comfort throughout all trimesters.
Functional Osteopathic Exercise
Individualised exercise programs focus on postural correction, core stability, and movement re-education through one-on-one sessions. These tailored workouts improve strength, flexibility, and body awareness while complementing manual treatments to address underlying biomechanical issues causing chronic pain and restricted mobility.
Hip Pain Treatment
Specialised hip pain management combines manual therapy with targeted exercise to address conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, and postural imbalances. Our practitioners identify mechanical causes of discomfort through comprehensive assessment then implement treatment plans focused on restoring joint function and preventing long-term mobility issues.

Samantha has always followed up with calls to see how I have pulled up after treatments when I've had significant flare ups of pain and has an amazing holistic approach to my physical health. I would highly recommend Samantha for your osteo treatment.

Kerrie was an absolute delight! Super personable, professional and down to earth. I have never had a remedial massage before, well overdue. Cracker job, when I walked out I instantly felt the work she did made a difference!

What a relief to get an appointment with Emily! She worked her magic with my poor, aching body and today I feel like a new woman. Emily is a warm, friendly and very skilled osteopath.

Liam did a great job he was very thorough with my medical history and the questions he asked, then his treatment was very efficient and pain free. I felt very much better after one session . Happily recommend Healing Hands for back problems.
