Osteopathy
Is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine. Its aim is to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

The key principles are based on all parts of the body functioning together in an integrated manner. If one part of the body is restricted, then the rest of the body must adapt and compensate for this, leading to inflammation, pain, stiffness and other health conditions. Once the body is free of restrictions in movement, the treatment assists the body with pain minimisation, reduced stress and greater mobility providing the body with the opportunity to heal itself.

Acupuncture
Originates from China and has been practiced there for thousands of years. Although there are records of acupuncture being used hundreds of years ago in Europe, it was during the second half of the twentieth century it began to spread rapidly. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient's skin at specific points on the body - the needles are inserted to various depths. We are not sure how acupuncture works scientifically. However, we do know that it does have some therapeutic benefits, including pain relief and alleviation from nausea caused by chemotherapy.

Chiropody
The practice of chiropody is the assessment of the foot, treatment and prevention of diseases or disorders of the foot by therapeutic, surgical and palliative means. The treatment includes cutting of the toenails, the removal of in-grown toenails, calluses and corns and treatment for foot ailments such as plantar warts (verrucae), athlete's foot, sweaty feet, foot odour and dry or cracked heels.
