Our THERAPIES

Osteopathy

Three experienced osteopaths from the UK and Italy, including one with over 30 years of clinical experience.

Osteopaths treat pain arising from the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. They also work with conditions such as migraines, arthritis, frozen shoulder, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), sciatica, and more.

Diagnosis is based on the principles of equilibrium and homeostasis. The body was once an energy efficient system, but through overuse, repetitive strain, or trauma it can become misaligned and less efficient. This loss of efficiency can lead to pain, restricted movement, and dysfunction.

The role of the osteopath is to identify where stress and strain exist within the system and to adjust the body so it can return to being efficient, balanced, and free moving.

Osteopaths are, in many ways, mechanics. Our tools are our hands.

MANUAL THERAPY

Our manual therapist goes beyond traditional physiotherapy, bringing a broader, hands on approach to treatment. With extensive NHS experience, they have a strong clinical background in assessing and managing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Treatment focuses on targeted deep tissue massage and effective stretching techniques to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve overall function. By addressing restrictions within muscles and soft tissues, the aim is to help the body move more efficiently and recover more effectively.

The role of the manual therapist is to relieve tension, improve mobility, and support your return to everyday life at full capacity, whether that means work, sport, or daily activity.

MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE

This technique works to release muscle tension quickly and effectively. In some patients, the soft tissue is too inflamed to touch without causing significant pain, so we use needles to achieve the same therapeutic effect. In other cases, the tissues are so chronically tight that manual release would take too long, making needling a faster and more efficient solution.

All of our osteopaths are highly experienced in needling, ensuring safe and precise treatment tailored to each patient’s needs.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

For health and wellness, we can stimulate your body’s natural drainage processes to reduce swelling and inflammation, supporting a more organic and effective recovery.

This treatment can also be combined with ‘Modellage,’ a technique designed to contour the body and visibly reduce pounds and inches, particularly around the thighs and stomach.

In addition, the process can help improve blood circulation, which can aid in reducing fatigue, speeding up muscle recovery, and alleviating stress, promoting overall wellbeing.

MATERNITY SERVICES

Expecting a baby? Come and see us. We can support your changing body to help make your second and third trimesters as comfortable as possible.
Pregnancy places extra stress on your entire body, and this is a time when you don’t need additional discomfort—you need to be able to sleep well and carry out your daily activities with ease before the big day.

After your baby arrives, all of our osteopaths are trained in paediatric care. One of our team members has even established a charity in France providing free osteopathic services to infants from low-income families, giving her extensive experience with very young babies. We are here to support both you and your little one.

SOFT TISSUE AND SPORTS MASSAGE 

Two members of our team are trained masseurs. Combined with their osteopathy and manual therapy skills, this makes our team among the most qualified massage specialists on the French Riviera.

While our approach is hands-on, we constantly gather feedback from your tissues during treatment. This allows us to tailor the massage to release tension, ease stress, and address related areas, leaving you not only relaxed and refreshed but also helping your body restore a balanced state of muscular equilibrium.

For more chronic issues, we can also combine massage with medical acupuncture to enhance recovery and long-term relief.
