Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of assessing, diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of health problems.
An osteopath will use hands-on, manual techniques to diagnose and treat all aches and pains pertaining to muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves in the human body.
This type of therapy is complimentary to that of a chiropractor and a physiotherapy.
Dry Needling
This western form of acupuncture is used to treat trigger points and tense muscles.
These tight and painful muscles can cause nerve pain, muscle pain, tension headaches and sciatica.
This type of therapy is complimentary to that of a chiropractor and physio. It also works very well in conjunction with osteopathy and deep tissue massage.
Posture Analysis
Are you worried about your posture? Confused as to what " good posture " actually means?
DW Osteopath Cardiff & Chepstow offer the unique opportunity of having a Posture Analysis. Beneficial for sports enthusiasts and office workers.
The aim of this assessment is to prevent pain and injury from incorrect postures or poor movement patterns.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses firm, penetrating pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue.
The aim is to break down stiff and tense muscles in the attempt to alleviate pain, increase blood flow and improve mobility.
Deep tissue massage can be used all over the body; neck, upper back, lower back, shoulders, pelvis and legs. This type of therapy compliments both osteopathy and dry needling.
