What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. It recognises that much of the pain/disability we suffer stems from changes to the way our body functions, through incidents in daily living, e.g. sprains, whiplash, poor posture. Osteopathy uses many diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical diagnosis. Its main strength, however, lies in the unique way the patient is assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint, and the treatment techniques applied to suit the needs of each patient.

Lynne grew up in Stowmarket and loves East Anglia, but dreaming of living by the sea she chose to settle in Felixstowe. Lynne qualified as a Sports Massage Therapist before becoming an Osteopath. She likes to use a variety of techniques, depending on the patient, including cranial osteopathy. She loves treating babies and says It's so satisfying to help a baby, they change so fast with treatment. For example, colic is often caused by compressions from the birth process - in most cases 3 or 4 treatments can make a huge difference, so why suffer months of sleepless nights?
