Visceral Osteopathy

What to expect.

Visceral osteopathy uses gentle, hands-on techniques to the abdominal and pelvic areas that are integrated within a wider osteopathic treatment plan. These techniques are thought to help release tension, improve the mobility of surrounding tissues, and support the body’s overall function. Rather than being used as a stand-alone therapy, visceral osteopathy is applied as part of a holistic approach to musculoskeletal care.

For some people, tension in the abdominal region may contribute to back pain, pelvic discomfort, or reduced mobility. By addressing these relationships, visceral techniques can complement standard osteopathic methods such as spinal and joint manipulation, soft tissue therapy, stretching, and tailored exercise programmes.

Most private and medical insurance schemes incl. AVIVA, CIGNA, SIMPLY HEALTH and VITALITY cover osteopathy but individual policies may vary. Some insurance companies require a referral from your doctor. Should you like to be treated under insurance cover, please contact your insurer to find out their requirements and notify reception when making your booking.

If you need to cancel your treatment, we ask that you give us 24 hours notice or the full cost of the treatment might be charged.

Please note, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your appointment may need to be shortened or rescheduled, and the full fee may still apply.
