Abby Waldman - Osteopath

 

Abby Waldman is a graduate of the British School of Osteopathy. She is registered with the General Osteopathic Council and a member of the British Osteopathic Association.

Osteopathy can provide effective treatment for:

 

• back and neck pain

• sciatica and trapped nerves

• joint and muscle pain

• arthritic pain and stiffness

• repetitive strain injuries

• sports injuries

• headaches

• frozen shoulder

• pregnancy-related pain

• ...and more

Osteopaths look at the relationship between the structure of your body and how well it functions. Your health and well-being depend on your body's joints, with their associated tissues (muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels) working smoothly together and supporting each other in good health. 

Osteopathy is also a philosophy of health. A key principle in osteopathy is that our bodies have the in-built potential to heal. We work with our patients as individuals to remove blocks to healing and restore the body's ability to heal itself. 

Abby uses manual therapy - touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage - to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, reduce pain levels and to improve the blood and nerve supply to tissues. Your treatment plan may include self-help strategies for pain relief, advice on posture and exercise and stretching and strengthening exercises if appropriate.

Osteopathy can help with:

 

• reduced pain levels

• better mobility

• a faster return to your everyday life and activities

• a personal toolkit to help you manage your symptoms while you recover

• greater body awareness for the future

• peace of mind and confidence from understanding what is wrong, how to help yourself now, and how to stay healthy in the future
