Did you know⁉️

Osteopathy can reduce inflammation and stress in the body.

Chronic back pain doesn’t just affect your muscles — it puts your nervous system into overdrive, increasing tension, fatigue, and even anxiety.

Through gentle manipulation, soft tissue release, and realignment, osteopathy can calm your body’s stress response, helping you feel lighter, looser, and more energised.

✨ It’s not just about the spine — it’s about your whole system.

Osteopathy at The Westoe Practice
Move better. Feel better. Live with less pain.

Our experienced osteopaths use a hands-on, whole-body approach to treat:

✔️ Back & neck pain
✔️ Joint or muscle tension
✔️ Headaches, sciatica & postural imbalances
✔️ Pregnancy-related discomfort
✔️ Sports injuries & more

By gently restoring alignment, improving mobility, and supporting your body’s natural healing processes, osteopathy helps you get to the root of the problem — not just manage the symptoms.

🍂 As the trees release their leaves, nature whispers a powerful truth

Letting go is part of healing.🍁

Autumn invites us to slow down, reflect, and shed the things we’ve outgrown — whether that’s stress, emotional baggage, physical tension, or outdated habits.

But sometimes, letting go is harder than it sounds. That’s where we come in.

At The Westoe Practice, we offer therapies to support you in this sacred transition:

💬 Counselling – for processing grief, change, or emotional overwhelm

🦋 Emotional Transformation Coaching – to shift stuck patterns and create space for new growth

✨ Reiki Energy Healing – to clear what your body and energy field may still be holding

🍂 Let go gently. Let go supported.
