Osteopathy relieves many causes of pain and imbalance, from a sudden acute muscle spasm or “locked” low backs and necks, to the slow burn of tendonitis or chronic headaches.    However, as well as treating the symptomatic area, Moira finds and treats the underlying cause of pain to help prevent symptoms reoccurring and return you to normal activity as soon as possible.  Moira creates a tailor-made package of treatment according to your needs and expectations.   Treatment can include any combination of deep tissue massage, stretching, joint manipulation, cranial osteopathy, trigger point acupuncture, Kinesio Taping as well as advice on exercise, posture and nutritional influences.

When you visit Balanced Body Clinic for the first time a full case history will be taken, including current symptoms as well as past and present medical history.  The examination involves using hands to examine the muscles, ligament, tendons and mobility of joints, as well as watching you move. As it is essential to observe how the spine, muscles and joints work together during movement, therefore patients will need to remove some items of clothing during the examination.

Osteopathy is a safe and natural health care system, which focuses on the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons of the body . It combines scientific knowledge of anatomy, physiology and clinical methods of investigation with detailed examination using the hands. Regulated by the General Osteopathic Council, all Osteopaths must undergo intensive training and adhere to strict legal guidelines.
