Back and neck problems
Acute or long-standing pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine — including pain that has resisted other treatment.
What we treat
Conditions treated
This clinic specialises in treating acute and chronic nerve, muscle and joint conditions. Vincent has developed a dedicated approach to treating these.
How treatment works
A clear, hands-on process
Every patient follows the same simple arc: careful assessment, focused manual treatment, and a plan you can take home.
-
I
Assessment
History-taking, movement testing and a working diagnosis. Vincent will tell you honestly whether osteopathy can help, or recommend who to see if it can't.
-
II
Hands-on treatment
Manual therapy: joint articulation, manipulation and soft-tissue mobilisation tailored to your assessment.
-
III
Aftercare & exercises
As part of the treatment plan, if appropriate, you will be offered an exercise plan, things to avoid, and what to expect over the next 48 hours.
