Osteopathy for Adults and Children
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing a range of musculoskeletal issues. By using gentle manual techniques, osteopaths aim to improve movement, alleviate pain and support the body’s natural healing processes. Treatment focuses on the whole body, considering how muscles, joints, and connective tissues work together.
Lucia treats a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, joint issues, headaches, postural problems, sports injuries and muscle tension. It is also beneficial for chronic conditions and pregnancy related issues, providing relief and improving mobility.
Osteopathy for babies and infants
Osteopathy offers gentle, specialised care for babies, infants and teenagers, addressing their unique developmental needs. For babies and infants, osteopathic treatment can help with common issues such as reflux, colic and feeding difficulties by easing tension and improving mobility. Treatments are gentle and tailored to support their delicate bodies.
Osteopathy for Children and Teenagers
The teenage years bring significant physical, mental and hormonal changes. Lucia’s provides osteopathic care to support teenagers through this crucial stage, addressing the challenges of rapid growth and lifestyle demands.
During adolescence, the spine grows rapidly, while muscles, ligaments, and fascia take time to adapt. External pressures, such as carrying heavy school bags, exam stress and prolonged sitting, often worsen these challenges. Additionally, frequent use of smartphones and other technology contributes to poor posture.
Lucia assesses teenagers holistically, focusing on posture, alignment and overall well-being. Treatments include gentle techniques such as soft tissue and joint articulation, often leaving teenagers feeling relaxed and reporting better sleep.
By addressing these changes, Lucia helps teenagers build a strong foundation for healthy growth and development.
