Soft Tissue Massage

Soft tissue massage is employed to alleviate muscle tension and improve circulation. By applying pressure and various strokes, this technique aims to enhance flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and promote overall relaxation.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. It aims to release tension, improve flexibility, and enhance overall tissue mobility.

Harmonics

Harmonics, an indirect technique, uses rhythmic, gentle movements to encourage the body's natural healing processes. It promotes relaxation and improves overall well-being.

Lymphatic Treatment

Lymphatic treatment focuses on promoting lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and improve immune function. Techniques include gentle manual lymphatic drainage to encourage fluid movement.

Articulation

Articulation involves gently moving joints through their natural range, enhancing mobility and reducing stiffness. This technique is beneficial for improving joint function without high-velocity thrusts.

Muscle Energy Technique

Muscle energy technique involves the patient's active participation in contractions against resistance to restore balance and improve joint function. It is effective for addressing muscle imbalances and joint restrictions.

Balanced Ligamentous Tension

Balanced ligamentous tension involves gentle, indirect techniques to restore balance in ligaments, promoting joint stability and reducing strain.

Visceral Manipulation Techniques

Visceral manipulation involves gentle, hands-on techniques to improve the mobility and function of internal organs. It aims to address restrictions and enhance overall organ health.

Joint Manipulation

Joint manipulation involves quick, controlled thrusts to joints, restoring normal range of motion. This technique is valuable for addressing joint dysfunction, reducing pain, and improving joint function.

Stretching

Stretching is crucial for enhancing flexibility, range of motion, and preventing injuries. This technique is customised to target specific muscle groups, promoting optimal muscle length and joint mobility.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy, with or without electrical dry needle stimulation, is used to manage pain and enhance tissue healing. By applying electrical currents, this technique can modulate nerve signals, reduce inflammation, and stimulate muscle contractions for improved function.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

Emitting gentle electrical pulses through skin pads, this non-invasive approach alleviates pain, reduces muscle tension, and stimulates natural healing. The TENS machine enhances blood circulation, promotes relaxation, and contributes to the overall effectiveness of your osteopathic treatment for optimal outcomes.

Beyond Treatment

At Nexus, we go beyond traditional osteopathic techniques by creating personalised rehabilitation plans with active patient involvement.

We prioritise patients' preferences, ensuring exercises align with their enjoyment, such as incorporating activities like walking with kids.

This collaborative approach fosters a positive and sustainable health journey, empowering patients to take an active role in their well-being.

All osteopaths treat slightly differently, if you have been to another practitioner in the past, know that we will all achieve results in a slightly different way.

Trust the process.
