Osteopaths
in Edenbridge

Cranial Osteopathy is a technique used by osteopaths. It is a very gentle and effective hands-on therapy which aims to restore health and balance in the body.

As of February 2019, I am teaming up with my colleague Clare, who some of you may already know from Botanica, and we are opening our own clinic down the road in Hildenborough. We will be called 'The Kent Running Coach' and will be based in The 1809 Hub, founded by Dame Kelly Holmes.

In keeping with the rise in the age of retirement and the expectations we all have to ‘keep going’ — be it at a favourite sport, hobby or physical work — we aim to help you to do just that … osteopaths utilise a range of techniques including physical manipulation, stretching and massage, and other gentle techniques such as cranial that are all taught at undergraduate level. We also provide a package of care that can include one or more of the following: manual therapy, health information, self-management advice and support and/or exercise therapy, as determined by the individual needs of the patient.

Most people seek the help of an Osteopath when they have pain, stiffness, weakness or all of the above in their spine, head or some other joint or area of the body. Our aim is to help you resolve your problem as quickly as possible through a careful process of examination, treatment and management. We will also educate you about what’s happening to your body, give you a clear idea of the likely outcome of treatment and provide advice to manage and reduce the likelihood of your condition returning.

It can be increasingly irritating to be suffering in pain especially when you’ve no idea the cause of it, or how to fix it. We understand this can be the root of much stress and discomfort, which is why we are here, to diagnose and get you out of pain and back to leading a normal lifestyle again and as quickly as possible.

Osteopathy uses postural adjustments and manual techniques to alleviate pain and aid recovery, which is integrated with exercise rehabilitation and advice on lifestyle & posture. We tailor our treatments to you offering a mix of osteopathy, acupuncture and sports massage - we don't have a one size fits all approach!

Prior to studying osteopathy Robert graduated from the University of Nottingham in 1991 with a joint honours degree in Psychology and Philosophy. His interest in Clinical Psychology and a desire to help people to improve their health and well-being lead him into the field of osteopathy.
