About Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of health care that works with the structure and function of the body.
Osteopaths focus on improving posture, biomechanics and mobility by working on the muscles, joints and nervous system to reduce tension in the body caused by stress and injury.
• Relieve pain, aches and tension
• Restore mobility & flexibility
• Improve general wellbeing
Shivaun tailors each treatment specifically to the individual. She may consider aspects of her patient’s lives such as lifestyle, exercise and nutrition, as well as physical symptoms. She aims to treat the underlying cause of a problem, prevent its return and provide longer lasting relief.
