As an Osteopath, the methods I use are mainly very gentle manual manipulation, usually painless, and my ethic is to resolve patients’ conditions as quickly as possible. If a situation arises where I do not feel that my approach is appropriate, I will immediately refer that patient to a fellow expert practitioner who may be better suited to work with that person’s particular condition. However, in the majority of cases I will be able to relieve pain from a variety of conditions quickly and effectively. Back pain, as anyone who has experienced it knows, is awful and impossible to ignore. It can also cause symptoms in other areas of the body, such as sciatic pain or headaches, clicking jaw, and dizziness. As an osteopath I can diagnose your specific issue and use a range of gentle manipulations to resolve the issue and relieve the pain. Incorrect equipment, playing too hard, not warming up or down, these can all cause sports injuries. Reduced joint flexibility flexibility or pain are the big indicators of a problem. An osteopath can improve overall sports performance and treat any injuries, by restoring structural balance, increasing joint mobility and reducing soft tissue restriction — keeping you supple and improving muscle tone will also reduce risk of injury in the future.
With over 30 years of experience in Osteopathy in Northern Ireland, I have helped many clients with a range of conditions this is where my strong reputation, recognition from leading private health insurance providers and an extensive list of clients and past clients comes from. I specialise in the treatment of back pain, Sciatica, neck pain and sports injuries but other conditions can be successfully treated.
