What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a form of non-invasive and drug-free manual therapy. It focuses on total body health by treating the musculoskeletal system. The aim is to bring about positive changes in the body’s nervous, lymphatic and circulatory systems.

What can Osteopathy help with?

We offer treatments for a range of conditions and injuries including back and joint pain, headaches, osteopathy for babies and children, antenatal and postnatal care. Most people at some time in their lives will experience musculoskeletal pain, with the spectrum for pain wide-ranging, with the majority of cases responding to conservative treatment. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort contact us to book a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your complaint and see if we think Osteopathy might help.

Practitioners - About Anthony Skinner

Anthony joined the practice in September 2019 after graduating in July the same year. He is available on Tuesday afternoon and evenings and Saturday morning and afternoons.

Anthony holds a Master’s Degree in Osteopathy from the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, where he has worked under Claire’s guidance and mentoring.

Since Anthony started working as an Osteopath, he has built up special interests in complex cases, pregnant/ postpartum women, sports injury rehabilitation and development, treating from babies to the elderly.

He uses a variety of different approaches to osteopathic treatment, including structural, cranial and visceral. He also believes that the prescription of stretches, exercises and bespoke occupational and social advice to aid in body posture and improved mental well-being is key in making a well-rounded treatment plan, to ensure your problems don’t relapse over time.

Anthony was introduced to Osteopathy for the first time as a young teenager, when he had severe low back pain and functional scoliosis. Ever since receiving osteopathic treatment, he has been fascinated by the human body, and how the power of a hands-on approach to health can make such a positive difference to someone’s life.

Outside of working in the practice, you can find Anthony cycling, swimming, climbing and busy in the kitchen cooking and baking.

Reviews

"I am new to the area and was apprehensive of an appointment with someone I had no recommendations of. Once I was in the treatment room my anxiety dissolved and after the treatment my pain dissolved. Really good." - By HeatherB-78

'89% of patients reported an improvement in their symptoms one week after osteopathic treatment, and 93% reported an improvement in symptoms at 6 weeks post-treatment.’
