What we do
Osteopathic Treatment
Osteopathy aims to treat the underlying cause of symptoms, rather than just the symptoms themselves, to restore balance and harmony to the body. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions, from musculoskeletal issues to digestive problems, and is suitable for people of all ages.
Orofacial Myology
Orofacial myology is often used to help individuals with issues such as speech disorders, improper swallowing patterns, and facial muscle imbalances. It can also be beneficial for those with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, dental malocclusions, snoring, and breathing issues related to the muscles of the mouth and throat.
Orofacial myology therapy is suitable for people of all ages, from children to adults. It can be particularly beneficial for children with speech issues, open-mouth breathing, thumb-sucking habits, as well as for adults with TMJ disorders, snoring, or other issues related to muscle function in the face and mouth. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals such as Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Speech Pathologists, Dentists, ENTs, and Orthodontists is key. This approach ensures that all contributing factors are addressed comprehensively, leading to the best possible outcomes for patients.
