Directions to Emma Ross
Osteopaths at Emma Ross are happy to treat patients with any condition listed above.
Digestive Upset
Patients with chronic digestive discomfort frequently resort to Gaviscon or other over-the-counter drug remedies to ameliorate their conditions as they arise. But the root cause can be effectively addressed by osteopathy. There are many nerves at the base of the spine connected to the rib cage and the diaprhagm. If the diaphram is excessively tense these nerves are unable to function properly which is a common cause of chronic digestive issues. By releasing this tension, cranial osteopaths are often able to dramatically reduce the pain and discomfort. The muscular tension may be the result of stress or other emotional blockages. As a result the treatment needs to be very gentle to help remove the stress and free-up the body's own healing capablilites. Exercises to help reduce stress in the first-place and manage it down may also be recommended.
Cerebral Palsy
Science has not yet unlocked the mystery of cerebral palsy and there is no cure. Nevertheless a number of treatments have been recognised as helpful to patients. The Henry Spink Foundation which is one of the leading research charities for cerebral palsy recognises the benefits of a number of techniques, some of which are physical treatments. These treatments include Feldenkrais, Acupuncture, Acupressure and the mainstream physical treatments - osteopathy, chiropractic and physiotherapy. The way in which cranial osteopaths treat cerebral palsy patients is by seeking to drain the lymphatic system with gentle massage, increasing blood flow and draining sinus fluids.
