Welcome to Knights Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine which uses hands-on techniques to help reduce and alleviate a variety of symptoms. Techniques used range from soft tissue/massage, articulation, mobilisation ("clicking joints") through to very subtle "Cranial" techniques. One of Osteopathy’s great attributes is helping break bad postural habits which often remain after initial injuries have healed. Pain or discomfort which has never settled can often be helped with an osteopathic approach.
What do Osteopaths treat?
Many types of musculo-skeletal pain are alleviated by osteopathic treatment, from sprains and strains encountered on or off the sports field, through to longer-term pain issues.
With the continual postural changes of pregnancy, osteopathy can be very useful. It can help the body accommodate these changes and aid in reducing the discomfort often experienced at different stages before the day of delivery, and is great at aiding recovery after the big event. David has treated expectant mums for the last 12 years, as well as his wife during her pregnancy.
David has extensive experience in dealing with singers after looking after the performers at the Royal Opera House In London for 8 years prior to his move to NZ! He also has a lot of experience in treating long-distance runners and performing musculo-skeletal assessments.
