Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a primary health care system, complementary to other medical practices. It is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to the treatment and management of a wide range of conditions. Osteopaths primarily work through the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, mostly on muscles and joints, using holistic and patient-centred approaches.

A core principle behind osteopathy is the idea that the body is an integrated whole, and contains self-healing mechanisms that can be supported as part of the treatment. No part of the body works, or can be considered, in isolation. Relevant psychological and social factors also form part of the process of patient diagnosis.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy is a subtle form of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body. It is called 'cranial' because treatment often involves the head, although other parts of the body such as the spine and tailbone can also be involved.

Sports Osteopathy

Sports activities are a regular way of life for many of us now, and involve people from across all age groups, from those who have an avid interest to those who just wish to keep fit; from the elite professional to the casual participant. Many of the injuries are the result of overuse i.e. playing too hard and too often e.g. tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and biceps tendinitis, or from not warming up properly beforehand or from not warming down after exercise.

Five-Element Acupuncture

Stress and anxiety, Women’s health, Pain, and Sleep issues.

Lorna first experienced the powerful benefits of five-element acupuncture when she approached Master Practitioner Gerad Kite for fertility help 25 years ago. After the birth of her two children, she continued as his patient, recognising that the treatment supports body, mind and spirit, and provides a deep sense of vitality and calm.

Lorna brings exceptional experience and understanding of each person’s individual needs to her acupuncture practice, and is excited to be able to share this ancient system of medicine.
