Cranial Osteopathy

We are able to offer the cranial approach, which uses very gentle techniques in which our Osteopath´s highly trained sense of touch is used to identify and correct mechanical disturbances and limitations, both in and around joints for the skull, and throughout the body.

Cranial Osteopathy can help a wide range of patients with conditions including migraines, sinusitis, digestive complaints and spinal conditions for which other osteopathic techniques would be inappropriate. It is also effective for the treatment of babies or children who have suffered effects of difficult or prolonged deliveries.

By gently releasing tension in the baby´s body we can often relieve discomfort, which might otherwise be attributed to colic or fretfulness.

Sports Massage

Sports massage:

• promotes faster recovery from hard training
• assists in removal of metabolic waste
• identifies areas of micro-scarring
• promotes recovery from injury
• decreases muscle tension and helps improve flexibility
• prevents delayed onset muscle soreness
• improves lymphatic drainage and lymphatic flow

Here at Posture Dynamics sports massage is often integrated with the treatments from our osteopaths. Sessions are available for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or for 1 hour.

Pilates

Pilates is a series of stretching and strengthening exercises designed to condition your body's core. The exercises are specifically aimed at preventing back pain and recovery from back pain.

At Posture Dynamics we specialise in teaching the STOTT PILATES method. This method of Pilates has exercises designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints.

Acupuncture

Dry needling Acupuncture is a modern Western medical treatment that is not related to Traditional Chinese acupuncture. Dry needling has its own theoretical concepts, terminology, needling technique and clinical application. Here at Posture Dynamics practitioners can use this treatment modality to help compliment the treatment with Osteopathy. Acupuncture needles are used and aimed directly at rebalancing disturbances in the body´s muscular-skeletal framework and at reducing pain.

Conditions that can be relieved using Dry Needling techniques include:

• Headaches
• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
• Tennis Elbow
• Muscle Spasms
and more.

Prescription Orthoses

Prescription Orthoses are custom made insoles to fit only you. They are precision devices tailored to meet your specific requirements. Consider them as you would a pair of prescription glasses or a dental brace.

They are prescribed here at Posture Dynamics to help:

• Correct misalignments in the foot
• Improve posture and balance
• Alleviate pain in the foot or leg


The Foundation of Improved Posture, Balance and Alignment

Rebalance Classes

Rebalance is a 30 minute group workout designed to rebalance, relax and re-energise the body for the afternoon ahead. A Rebalance class is time to focus on improving core strength and flexibility whilst learning techniques that provide awareness of good posture which can be used whilst going about day to day activities.

Whether you sit at a desk for most of the day, are a busy mum on the go or work manually - everybody can benefit from a short time out of the norm to focus on breathing, stretching and accessing the deep core stabilising muscles of the torso, which when engaged can help to prevent injury in the body.
