At the Leigham Practice we have an excellent osteopath who treats a wide variety of common problems that may be related to posture, mobility, injury, occupation sport or lifestyle.

Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures involved in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Its main strength lies in the unique way the patient is assessed holistically from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint. Treatment is aimed at improving mobility and/or reducing inflammation by using gentle manual osteopathic techniques on joints, muscles and ligaments.

Our osteopathic consultant works as a specialist within a team of talented physiotherapists and podiatrists, who work with an appreciation of each others skills to maximise benefit and provide an effective service to our patients.
