Your initial consultation with Balance Osteopathy, we will ask about the history of the problem you have been experiencing and your more general health history. This is to give us an overall picture of what the issue is in the context of your individual health and function. We want to know about your current daily activities, and what you would like to get back to as we help alleviate this issue. We will take you through a general movement screen and focus on functional tasks, activities or sports you engage in, followed by specific table based hands-on assessment, motion testing and palpation. Our services are designed to help you get back to your old self as quickly as possible.

Mobility and flexibility are often confused, but they play very different roles in how your body moves.

Flexibility refers to the ability of muscles to stretch, while mobility is about controlled movement through a joint’s full range. It’s possible to be flexible yet still lack mobility, meaning a joint may stretch but not move efficiently or safely. At Balance Osteopathy, osteopathy aims to improve both. We assess joint motion, soft tissue function and overall movement coordination to support better control and stability. Improved mobility leads to greater comfort, reduced strain and safer, more efficient movement in daily activities, exercise and sport.

Back pain is one of the most common concerns we see, and unfortunately, it’s often surrounded by misinformation.

One common myth is that rest is always best. While short-term rest can help in the early stages of injury, prolonged inactivity may actually weaken muscles, reduce mobility and delay recovery. Another misconception is that pain always equals damage. In many cases, back pain is linked to muscle tension, joint restriction or inefficient movement patterns rather than serious tissue injury.

At Balance Osteopathy, osteopathy focuses on safe, guided movement, hands-on treatment and personalised exercise programs to restore strength and function. Education and movement correction are key to achieving lasting relief and confidence in your body.

Biomechanics is the study of how your bones, muscles and joints work together to create movement. When one area isn’t functioning optimally, it can place extra strain on other parts of the body; for example, restricted hips may contribute to ongoing lower back pain. At Balance Osteopathy, we don’t simply focus on where symptoms appear.

At Balance Osteopathy, we assess movement patterns across the entire body to understand how everything functions as an interconnected system. This whole-body approach allows us to identify inefficiencies, improve movement quality and reduce the risk of recurring pain or injury. By understanding biomechanics, you can move more efficiently, recover better and make informed choices about your health.

Knee discomfort or stiffness can make everyday activities such as walking, squatting or climbing stairs far more challenging than they should be.

At Balance Osteopathy, our osteopathic assessments go beyond the knee itself to understand how your body moves as a whole. We carefully assess contributing movement patterns in surrounding areas such as the hips, ankles and pelvis, which often play a key role in ongoing knee issues.

By identifying and addressing these underlying factors, we can create a more targeted and effective treatment plan designed to support long-term improvement, not just short-term relief. The goal is better movement, improved function and greater confidence in staying active.

At Balance Osteopathy, we go beyond simply treating symptoms. Our functional movement assessments focus on how your body moves during everyday activities, such as bending, walking, lifting and reaching, to gain a deeper understanding of what’s really going on.

By observing movement patterns, we can identify restrictions, imbalances and inefficiencies that may be contributing to pain or discomfort. This movement-led approach allows us to address the root cause, not just the sore spot, and develop a targeted treatment and rehabilitation plan tailored to you. The goal isn’t short-term relief; it’s restoring optimal movement, improving overall function and supporting long-term wellbeing.
