The presentations below are some of what people most often come in with. Osteopathy treats the person, not the diagnosis — so if something you're dealing with isn't named here, it's still worth a conversation.
Acute or chronic, postural or post-injury. The site of pain is rarely the site of cause — treatment begins with locating the pattern.
Cervicogenic, tension, jaw-related, post-concussion. Most recurring headaches trace upstream — to the neck, jaw, or cranial base.
Lingering fog, balance issues, light sensitivity, headaches that won't lift. Gentle cranial work for a nervous system that's still stuck.
Referred pain, numbness, tingling down a leg or arm. The nerve itself is usually fine — what's restricted is everything around it.
Stiffness, restricted range, joint pain, frozen shoulder. Joints that stop moving usually have a reason further up or down the chain.
Ski, climbing, cycling, trail. For the person who got hurt doing the thing they love — and wants to get back to it fully, not partially.
Organs have motion, and when that motion is restricted, the structure above and below compensates. Often the quiet driver of lasting tension.
Long-standing, multi-factor, often seen by many practitioners already. The work is patient, the progress is quiet, and resolution is possible.
Most people who come in have already tried a few things. A short conversation before booking is often the fastest way to know whether osteopathy is the right next step — or whether something else might be.
