Headaches

Many headaches stem from problems in the neck, either from Trauma (e.g car accidents) or from ‘wear and tear’. Mobilising small joints in the neck is often successful in abolishing such headaches.

Jaw Problems

After accidents, or an extended visit to the dentist, TMJ or Temporomandibular jaw problems can arise. By using specific osteopathic techniques on and around the maxillae and mandible (the jaw), these problems can be alleviated.

Sinusitis

Sinuses may become chronically obstructed, and before surgery is necessary, Cranial Osteopathy may offer welcome relief. Treatments on the head and face, directly on the maxillae and on the mandible (jaw), will follow the drainage lines to release obstructions, and improve the flow of fluids to the sinuses.

Neck/Shoulder pain

You can wake up with this one morning or it can slowly creep on over time. Often associated with loss of movement to one side and quite scary pain. The sooner we can see you the sooner you will recover.

Whiplash

Can accidents are often associated with neck pain radiating out to the shoulders, causing headaches and even lower back pain. Appropriate treatment can help you recover from this injury.

Catching pain

The shoulder has a little joint at the top called the Acromioclavicular joint. This can ‘catch’ with movement giving a sharp pain on the top of the shoulder.

“Frozen”/Stiff shoulder

A painful shoulder with loss of movement followed by a very stiff shoulder can be traumatic or can happen for no apparent reason. Some cases respond very quickly – others need ongoing management.

Thoracic Pain

Can be a sharp, catching pain. Sometimes associated with deep breaths and related to ribs.

Disc problems

A common cause of lower back pain. Posture Dynamics can help with the combination of Osteopathy and Pilates to help settle and stabilise the problem.

Lumbago

A vague term meaning lower back pain. Depending on the diagnosis many different treatments can help with relieving and stabilising the problem.

Sciatic Pain

Neuralgia (nerve pain) along the course of the sciatic nerve, most often pain radiating down the leg from the buttocks to the toes. Most commonly due to a disc problem.

Golfers’ Elbow

You don’t have to be a golfer! This pain is centred on the inside of the elbow, especially associated with gripping a whole range of treatments are effective.

Tennis Elbow

You don’t have to play tennis to get this pain on the outside of the elbow. Can be associated with neck problems on the same side or can come from overloads with DIY, racquet sports or carrying heavy loads.

Carpal Tunnel pain

Pain and pins & needles in the wrist and into the hands/fingers can be really distressing but often responds to osteopathy, especially if caught early.

Digestive Disorders

There are many digestive complaints and one of the most common is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This condition may be treated with medication. However, osteopathy can certainly bring relief through treatment both locally to the stomach wall, and by accessing the spinal nerves at the appropriate position on the spinal column.

Groin Strain

A common football injury, though we have seen it in dancers and even water-skiers! Can be a true muscle tear or related to instability in the pelvis. With a competent assessment and treatment, we can help.

Hamstring Tears/Pain

Can be a real muscle tear anywhere from the ‘sitting bones’ of the pelvis to the back of the knee, or it can be related to the sciatic nerve from the lower back. Other strains from the lower back can also cause pain and aches in the leg.

Aching Knees

So often people put up with aching knees thinking there is nothing that can be done. If it is osteoarthritis, we can help. Often, it is a pain from behind the kneecap where the cartilage has become irritated and inflamed.

Locking Knee

Knee clunks or clicks tend to ‘lock’ in position so you can’t straighten it. Usually caused by a cartilage or ‘meniscus’ in the knee that gets trapped.

Shin Splints

Actually just means pain at the front of the leg between the knee and the ankle. Can be due to a variety of causes. We often find the feet need looking at as they are the real cause of the pain, especially in runners.

Calf Tears

Usually traumatic with pain going on to tip toes or even just walking. Muscle tears like this often respond well to treatment.

Sprained Ankle

A ligament injury (see ligament pain). they say ‘a sprain is worse than a break’ because pain and stiffness can be so persistent. We can help get you back to normal and show you how to reduce the chances of it happening again.

Achilles Tendonitis

Soreness just above the back of the heel. The strongest tendon in the body attaches here and can become irritated and inflamed.

Arch Collapse

Also called ‘Flat foot’ or ‘over-pronation’. Associated with running and weight bearing activities. Can be the cause of many postural problems giving pain elsewhere. Prescription Orthotics can help to stabilise this problem.

Bunion Pain

Does your big toe bend out? Do you have pain when you put weight through it? Don’t despair – sometimes this is associated with arch collapse. We can help!

I saw Camilla for an ongoing pulsatile tinnitus issue. I was not familiar with cranial osteopathy and as soon as I got to the appointment, I was warmly greeted and a thorough assesment was taken along with my medical history. I was instantly put at ease. I can honestly say that less than ten minutes after Camilla assessed my jaw and started gently releasing tension, the annoying noise in my ear just stopped. This is a remarkable result and I have rebooked to see Camilla. I am so impressed with not only the high level of evidence based practice but the bedside manner, professionalism, follow up care and cleanliness of the treatment room. I would highly recommend Posture Dynamics for any health concerns.

I went for the first time for a session last week with Camilla because I recently started to suffer from tinnitus, and I must say she is amazing, not to say talented! After the first session I felt like all the big city life stress had left my body, my jaw felt more relaxed, and after a few days I started to get used to the ringing in my right ear. She took time and dedication to help me relieve constant pain (due to posture and stress) in my upper back and joints. At the end I felt soooo relaxed, happier, smiling, almost like walking on clouds! The tinnitus also has become more bearable, as my muscles feel less tense than before. This week I went to a follow up consultation and as a result of the first one, I felt already more relaxed and the pain in my shoulder and neck has started to decrease. Cranial ostheopathy is a first for me but Camilla’s knowledge, empath and kindness are truly helping.

Would highly recommendation Posture Dynamics / Daren if you have any issues. He listened to my on going long term back, muscular issue - and sat down and discussed a plan of action / timeline to fix/improve my daily quality of life I’ve seen multiple professionals prior to Daren, and he’s the only one that’s been able to fix things.

I fully recommend seeing Daren. He's calm, knowledgeable and works with you to work though your issues. This was exactly what I needed when I came to him with my back problems. I didn't know where to turn to after receiving very little help from the NHS. Give him a call. I've learned loads about my issues and loads about how to look after it.

Daren is a true professional. His knowledge of the musculoskeletal system is extensive and he understands the ramifications of injuries because he’s from a sports background. I have gone from full body muscle tightness and soreness to feeling empowered and much more flexible. Thank you
