Welcome to Croxley Osteopathic Clinic »
Osteopaths are best known for back treatment, but we are qualified to treat other joints and muscles of the body. Most aches and pains self heal naturally, but symptoms can be painful, persistent and worrying. They can affect your sleep and ability to do the things you want and need to do every day.
The aim of Osteopathic treatment is to help you recover from your symptoms more quickly and reduce, where possible, the likelihood of a recurrence.
At your first appointment I will take your full case history and examine you. I will discuss what I think is causing your symptoms and describe the treatment techniques and treatment plan that I feel, will most effectively ease your symptoms. Osteopathy is a manual therapy. I use gentle, effective techniques to ease muscle tension and optimise joint function, as appropriate for each individual patient's needs. In most cases, symptoms are the result of musculo skeletal dysfunction and will usually respond well to osteopathic treatment. Sometimes there is a more serious underlying problem, which also needs to be addressed, by appropriate referral.
Advice may be given to aid recovery and where possible, to avoid future episodes, including advice with regard to posture, activity levels and optimising the benefit of any appropriate equipment used. Exercises may also be prescribed to aid and maintain recovery. Rate of recovery varies from patient to patient, it depends on many factors, including what has caused you to consult me, general health, stress levels, age, lifestyle, mishaps amongst others.
Croxley Osteopathic Clinic provides a friendly and professional service ensuring continuity of treatment with one osteopath as well as flexible appointment times, free parking and home visits as necessary to ensure that patients receive effective treatment.
I graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 2001 and I have been working as an Osteopath in Croxley Green since 2002, providing osteopathic health care to many patients who live or work in Croxley Green, Rickmansworth, Watford and the surrounding areas.
