Osteopathy is a natural form of manual medicine. It recognises that the structure of your body effects how you can function and adapt to life’s challenges. So, by helping to restore movement, we allow better functioning and this promotes good health and well-being.
Osteopathy can also be used to help with the aches and pains of an established disease, or injury.

By using skills in observation and palpation, osteopaths are trained to assess the tissues and biomechanics of you body to find areas of congestion and restriction. We use a variety of techniques in treatment to make sure the most appropriate techniques are chosen for each individual. These include joint manipulation, soft tissue massage, and visceral, ligament and tendon release techniques.

Cranial osteopathy uses these same principles but works on the more subtle restrictions, making it ideal to use with babies and children as well as adults.

Peak Physio is able to offer a range of massage techniques from a deep tissue massage to assist with releasing muscle tension to a more soothing massage to help with restoring body balance, stress relief and relaxation.

Claire Harding, our Massage Therapist, is a massage specialist but is also highly experienced in a number of other treatment areas including Indian Face Massage, Manicure and Pedicure treatments.

Reflexology is based on the historic understanding that all the organs of the body have corresponding reflex points in the feet and hands. By working each point, using specific thumb and finger pressure techniques, it is believed to release tension/congestion and strengthen your natural healing process.

Reflexology is used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally bringing the whole person back into a contented balance.

Each session of reflexology works on an individual basis.

Hypnosis  works  by  guiding  you  into  a very  deep  state  of  relaxation,  which  some hypnotherapists  prefer  to  call  a  “trance”.  This is  not  to  be  confused  with  sleep.  You  are actually consciousness.  This  state  has  been  referred   to  as  “double  consciousness.”   During  this  stage, the hypnotherapist begins providing the unconscious  mind  with  positive  suggestions and  metaphors  (stories)  to  help  achieve  the goals  of  the  individual.  In  this  state  it  is  also possible to recall any event from the past that may have been repressed.

Hypnosis is one of the quickest and most exciting ways to make positive, lasting change to your health and life. And contrary to  popular  myth,  hypnosis  is  completely safe…  and  you  can  experience  huge  leaps forward

Hypnosis  works  by  guiding  the  mind  into a  state  of  deep  relaxation.  In  this  “trance” state,  the  critical  filtering  capabilities  of  the conscious  mind  are  bypassed,  allowing the hypnotherapist the unconscious mind… the “control panel” of the  brain.  The  terms  sub-conscious  mind  and unconscious mind are identical.

Hypnosis  also  works  by  the  hypnotherapist talking  in  the  “language”  of  the  unconscious mind,  ensuring  the  conscious  mind  doesn’t interfere  at  all.  This  is  achieved  through  a combination  of  guided  visualization  exercises and  through  the  use  of  Neuro  Linguistic Programming (NLP).

Acupuncture stimulates the nerves in skin, muscle and other tissues, and can produce a variety of effect. We know that it increases the release of the body’s natural painkillers, including endorphin and serotonin, in the pathways of both the spinal cord and the brain. This modifies the way pain signals are received by the brain.

Acupuncture can do more than simply reduce pain however: it seems to have a beneficial effect on the health of some individuals. Patients often notice an improved sense of wellbeing after treatment.
Current research shows that acupuncture can affect most of the body’s systems – the nervous system, muscle tone, hormone production, circulation, and allergic responses, as well as respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.

Each patient’s case is assessed by the practitioner and treatment tailored to the individual, but a typical treatment involves fine needles being inserted through the skin and left in position briefly, sometimes with manual stimulation. The number of needles varies but may be only two or three. Treatment might be once a week to begin with, then at longer intervals as the condition responds. A typical course of treatment lasts five to eight sessions

The British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS) is a nationwide group of healthcare professionals who practice acupuncture alongside more conventional techniques. The Society believes that acupuncture has an important role to play in healthcare today, and that it is vital to present a balanced view in order that practitioners and patients may make about its use.
