At The Livewell Clinic, the safety and efficacy of all treatment plans are of upmost importance. The primary goal of our Osteopath Danny, is to get patients pain-free by identifying and addressing the root cause of their injuries to prevent any future resurgence. Below highlights several key treatments Danny provides.

• Hands-on Contact
• Joint manipulation
• Soft Tissue Therapy
• Myofascial Release
• Counterstrain
• Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
• Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
• Cranial Osteopathy techniques
• Therapeutic Joint Mobilization and Articulation
• Lymphatic Drainage Technique
• Acupuncture/dry needling

Osteopaths are taught to use minimal force and there are no associated harmful side-effects. Note that given the nature of Osteopathy, treatment is a partnership between the patient and the practitioner, therefore what the patient does with their body on a daily basis will either enable a faster or slower recovery and determine the frequency of treatments.

What to expect in your appointment

• In your first consultation, Danny will perform a thorough osteopathic and postural examination. He is also trained to identify whether a patient needs to be referred to a GP or requires further tests, such as blood tests or MRI scans to help diagnose the problem.
• Danny uses his hands to find areas of weakness, tenderness, restriction or strain within your body, particularly the spine therefore it is advised that you bring shorts or loose clothing to help the Osteopath.
