Osteopathy
Hands on assessment and treatment, tailored to the individual rather than simply the symptoms.
Worthing, West Sussex
Two generations. Three osteopaths. One shared approach.
Osteopathy in Worthing from a family practice with nearly three decades of experience, combining hands on treatment with a broader approach to health, movement and wellbeing.
A family practice
Matthew, Julie, Josh and Betts.
The practice
A different approach to healthcare
Assessment and treatment are built around the individual rather than the diagnosis, with the wider picture taken into account where it is relevant.
Natural Health
Nutrition, lifestyle and complementary approaches considered alongside osteopathic care where appropriate.
Experience
Matthew has been practising since graduating from the European School of Osteopathy in 1998, supported by extensive postgraduate study.
Looking at the whole person
The Triad of Health
Health rarely exists in isolation. The practice considers the relationship between structure, chemistry and emotional wellbeing as part of the wider clinical picture.
