Osteopathy

Osteopathic Treatment

Osteopathy is a primary care profession. It is a method of diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation.

The Osteopath’s aim is to find the cause of the patient’s presentation rather than just treating the symptoms. By treating the structure, the osteopath restores the body’s function and therefore allows it to heal itself. The body should be in a state of balance.

We treat people of all ages, including pregnant and post partum women, babies, children, teenagers, adults and seniors. We consider each person as an individual therefore treatment is different for every patient.

Treatment includes techniques such as soft tissue and myofascial techniques to release muscular tension, joint articulation and manipulation to improve mobility, cranial therapy to rebalance the body and visceral and fascial technique to release deeper restrictions.

Various conditions presented in practice include:

  • Back pain
  • Headache/ migraines
  • Poor posture
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Sciatica or other nerve pinches
  • Pre- and post-natal pelvic and back pain
  • Arthritis and Rheumatic pain
  • tendinopathies
  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow
  • Foot/knee complaints
  • Digestive problems or irritable bowels
  • Menstrual pain
  • Jaw tension and pain

What is Visceral technique?

Viscera is the collective name for the organs present in the chest, abdomen and pelvis. Visceral osteopathy therefore seeks to release tensions from the tissues of these organs to allow them to function freely. Often when there is a build up of tension in these organs they exert a pull on the spine through their ligamentous attachments. Visceral osteopathy may also aid functional problems of poor digestion or restricted breathing by directly addressing poor mobility of the organs in question.

"Had an amazing experience with Iona. She helped me with knee pain and rehabilitation after surgery. Very skilled and trustworthy osteopath with great anatomy knowledge. Highly recommended!"

Diana Cipriano

"Iona really helped me to return to working out post partum. She did a thorough check with the Mommy MOT and then recommended a customised plan for me. Her work on my back also provided immediate relief. Highly recommend her for all post partum moms who want to return to activity and feeling better faster!"

Brenna Hanley

"I can highly recommend this practice for pediatric and postpartum osteopathic treatments. Iona is very professional and friendly, she always explains what she is doing and why. She also gave me massage techniques and exercises to do at home. I have been attending sessions myself to help with postpartum pains and have been bringing my newborn regularly (issues with breastfeeding, neck mobility restriction that resulted in a flat head). I could see improvements with my health and with my daughter’s movements after each session. Highly recommend Iona."

Yulia Vylegzhanina

"Amazing service and experience for my newborn baby. Eglantine is extremely knowledgeable, health conscious and gentle, and I feel my little girl really benefited from her sessions. Will definitely be back!"

Oliver Nice

"I have been going to Eglantine for a couple of years and she always fixes any issues with my body. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Eglantine."

Corey Cummins

"I went to see Eglantine after falling down some steps and badly injuring my back a few months before. I was not healing as I had hoped and couldn’t get back to exercise, and after multiple unhelpful trips to the doctor, I was in desperate need of a treatment. Eglantine was fantastic! She was very thorough, and took the time to find out exactly what was going on with the muscles in my back…"
