We’re the closest osteopathy clinic to many Ashburton homes: a 8 minute walk from the shops on High Street, or a couple of minutes in the car.
So if your neck is stiff from working at the kitchen table, a headache has hung around all week, or your back has flared up, you don’t need to plan a trip across town to get it looked at.
Our osteopaths, with over 20 years clinical experience between them, have been treating Ashburton locals for 15 years. From school kids with sports niggles, to active parents with headaches and grandparents keeping active.
Whether it’s a new injury or something chronic, we’d love to support you and your family on the road to recovery
Neck pain and headaches are among the most common things we see from Ashburton, and they often turn up together. Long hours at a laptop, a daily commute, stress and poor sleep can all leave the muscles and joints of the neck and upper back tight and sore, and that tension can bring on headaches.
We commonly treat:
At your appointment we’ll check how your neck, upper back and shoulders are moving and look at what might be keeping the pain going, such as your work set-up. Treatment may include hands-on techniques, dry needling where it suits you, and simple exercises and set-up changes to help stop it coming back.
