Ms Philippa Wells-Lock

Philippa Wells-Lock is a fully qualified osteopath. They use a holistic, patient-centred approach to treatment, taking the time to understand each individual's unique needs and health goals. Osteopathy is a safe and effective form of healthcare for people of all ages and can help with a wide range of conditions.

An initial consultation with an osteopath involves a thorough case history and physical examination. This allows the osteopath to gain a comprehensive understanding of the patient's current complaint, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to their condition. Based on this assessment, the osteopath will then develop a tailored treatment plan.

Treatment may involve a variety of gentle, hands-on techniques, such as massage, stretching, articulation, and mobilisation, to help relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and restore the body's natural healing capacity. The aim of osteopathic treatment is to address the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms, to provide long-term relief and improve overall well-being.
