Osteopathy Cheltenham
Osteopathy is a gentle, safe and effective form of hands-on therapy which primarily focuses on the treatment of your musculoskeletal (muscles, joints, fascia, ligaments) system, organs and central nervous system.
Osteopathy is unique from other forms of manual medicine such as physiotherapy and chiropractic in its approach to treatment. We evaluate the structure of the body in relation to its functionality. As a result, it is quickly becoming one of Cheltenham’s most popular treatment options for pain relief and management.
Osteopathic treatment is gentle, safe and effective. There are two main categories of techniques utilised by Osteopaths; direct and indirect – both of which are practised at our Osteopathic Clinic near Cheltenham. Direct techniques utilise a level of force in the application. Examples of such techniques are massage, joint articulation, muscle activation, joint manipulation and stretching. Indirect techniques are when the Osteopath works with the body to guide it to freedom of restriction. As a result, this mode of treatment is excellent for children, the elderly and chronic pain.
Cheltenham Osteopaths
They aim to reach the highest standards of treatment by incorporating proficient skills and expertise, together with knowledge, compassion and strong communication skills.

We combine our expertise to address your issues and get you moving again. We truly value you and your health, and we are committed to finding solutions that work and are sustainable.
Osteopathy can be used to successfully treat a wide range of injuries.
Headache & MigraIne
Muscle tension and joint restriction in the neck and shoulders are a major cause of headaches and migraines. With these restrictions and tightness in the head and scalp area, blood supply is reduced which can then cause pain.
SPORTS INJURY
Whether your interest in sport is professional or purely for pleasure, it can be incredibly frustrating if an injury stops you participating or impairs your performance.Osteopathic treatment not only accelerates the healing process and relieves the pain, it also identifies and resolves any problems in other parts of your body that have contributed to the original injury.
Back & NECK Pain
Back pain is one of the most common medical problems. Understanding the cause of your back pain is the key to proper treatment. This is where your local Osteopath can help. Patients are assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint.
SHOULDER AND ELBOW
Shoulder and Elbow pain is a common condition we see at SHG. It can be due to poor posture and ergonomics, muscular and ligament strains, and overuse or repetitive activities such as gripping a tennis racquet, golf club or screwdriver.
Osteo treatment for frozen shoulder is a condition that results in pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. The condition is caused by the inflammation of the tissues around the shoulder joint, which can be due to injury or overuse. Treatment for frozen shoulders usually involves physical therapy, medication, and sometimes surgery.
If you are experiencing pain and stiffness in your shoulder or elbow book a treatment with one of our highly trained osteopaths.
HIP AND KNEE
Knee and Hip pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. There are numerous conditions that can cause hip or groin pain. The most common ones that patients present with are: bursitis, osteoarthritis, muscle or ligament injury, referred pain from the lower back or ankle.
NERVE PAIN AND SCIATICA
At SHG we often see patients presenting with what they describe as ‘Sciatica’. Usually the patient has pain in the buttock or back of the leg. Although ‘True Sciatica’ is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by bulging discs or arthritic changes in the lower back. This may cause pins and needles, burning, numbness or weakness.
TENDONITIS AND PLANTAR FASCIA
Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis are common causes of foot pain that occurs more in women than men. Mechanical dysfunction in the foot can often be the cause. It is common in runners, people who are overweight, during pregnancy or in people that wear poor footwear.
Pregnancy
Over the course of a pregnancy, a woman’s body must be able to adapt to both the structural & hormonal changes that occur to accommodate a growing baby.
BABIES & CHILDREN
Paediatric Osteopathy is based on the principle that many common ailments - whether minor or serious - result from an imbalance somewhere in the body caused by stress during pregnancy and the birthing process.
WORKPLACE Ergonomics & WHIPLASH
With most of us restricted to working from home, we have seen an increase incidence of chronic postural strain which often arises from repeated and prolonged activities that are usually associated with sitting at a computer all day or sedentary work.
When we sit for a prolonged period we get tired and we slump, causing us to curve our middle back and roll our shoulders forward. In order to look ahead or at our computer screen, our head and neck shifts forward. This is typically results in headaches and pain across the neck and shoulders.
arthritis
The musculoskeletal system is greatly affected by the ageing process. Gradually over the years our muscles lose their tone & our bones lose their strength. The elasticity within the body deteriorates thereby increasing our risk of injury. Many people with wear and tear (or arthritis) in their joints, even those waiting for hip or knee replacements, are not aware of the relief osteopathic treatment can provide.

What to Expect at Our Osteopathy Consultations near Cheltenham
We understand that the initial step to making an osteopathy consultation can be daunting. So, we’ve created some steps outlining our processes and what you can expect from our consults:
Initially, we’ll screen you so that you are placed in the care of the best practitioner and service possible.
Then, we’ll notify you, outlining what you can expect from your first consultation with us.
The first consult will be a long session and will proceed something like this:
A thorough medical history will be noted by our staff and doctors
An assessment of mobility and flexibility will be undertaken to determine if it’s related to the injury
A diagnosis as well as any exercise advice and prescriptions needed will be presented to you by the practitioner
You will be presented with a clear prognosis leading to goals that can be achieved to help you return to your daily life as normal (e.g. work, sport or extra-curricular activities, etc).
A management plan will be presented to you highlighting any future consultations that are required for treatment.
Notes and instructions will be provided for you to access our online exercise prescription platform.
A follow up from your practitioner will be provided to ensure your health condition is improving based on the management plan and to check if you have any further questions.
Osteopath vs Physiotherapist vs Chiropractor
Most people think a Physiotherapist prescribes exercises, a Chiropractor cracks spines and joints, and an Osteopath sort of does both. It’s important to note that ‘Osteo’, ‘Physio’ & ‘Chiro’ are professions – They’re not treatments or treatment styles. Each profession is qualified to diagnose, manage and prevent musculoskeletal conditions.
If you are trying to decide between an Osteopath, Physiotherapist or Chiropractor the real difference is a great practitioner, not their profession. The best practitioners get you moving and feeling better so you can get back to enjoying the things you love. That is exactly what our osteopaths aim to do with each treatment. Help you move better and feel good so you can enjoy life.
