Welcome to Carol Plumridge Osteopathy

Carol Plumridge

Osteopathy is the choice of therapy for clients who have neck or back pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain or stiffness, pain after injuries or muscular aches and pain associated with pregnancy.  Cranial Osteopathy is also a suitable treatment for babies and children.

Our lives can be challenging in many ways and not just physically.  Overwhelm,anxiety and stress are common and are often the cause of physical aches and dysfunction.

Our bodies are strong and resilient, it’s easy to lose sight of that in the hustle and bustle of busy lives.  Pain is rarely just physical.  It often has roots that go deeper into our mind, body and emotions that mean the most effective treatment goes deeper, to explore underlying stress, anxiety, emotions as well as lifestyle factors like your sitting position.

We work in partnership with our clients and find the perfect blend of hands on treatment, exercises and listening.

Osteopathy is the first complementary healthcare to be given statutory recognition by the UK government.

Osteopaths are recognised by the NHS, and, like doctors, we must maintain annual and career-long continuing professional development to retain our registration. No referral is needed before making an appointment.

Testimonials


  Treatment is always first class. It’s easy to book appointments and get seen to at short notice.  I still tend to go for a monthly MOT which I think is helpful.  JR
