Warrington Osteopaths is conveniently located in Warrington town centre.  Principle osteopath Sarah Dodenhoff graduated from the British School of Osteopathy, and then undertook further training in Cranial Osteopathy, before gaining a Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy.  Sarah has worked at the Osteopathic Centre for Children, a charity that treats children from newborns to teenagers for a wide variety of conditions, and also has experience of working in the childrens' ward, and with premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit and SCBU at Barnet Hospital, London as part of the 'flying osteopaths' team.  Sarah has other experienced GOsC Registered Osteopaths working alongside her at the clinic, as well as Vicky Taylor, a qualified Remedial Massage and Sports Therapist who is registered with The Society of Sports Therapists. 

Sarah also has a clinic in Moreton, on the Wirral, within Mark Brennan Chiropody and Health. 

Osteopathy is an established, safe and natural system of diagnosis and treatment focusing on the principle that the body will always try to maintain the balance which is essential to good health.  It recognises that much of the pain and disability we suffer is caused by abnormalities within the body's framework, as well as damage caused to it by disease.  This can disturb the circulatory system or nerves to any part of the body and affect any aspect of health.

Osteopaths work to rebalance the structure and function of the body, looking at all the factors contributing to the body's disturbed state of natural health rather than simply treating the apparent problem.

Conditions benefitting from treatment include:

·         Back and neck ache

·         Whiplash

·         Sciatica

·         Muscle spasms and cramp

·         Arthritic and rheumatic pain

·         Fibromyalgia

·         Circulatory problems

·         Digestion problems

·         Neuralgia

·         Minor sports injuries

·         Aches and pains

·         Inability to relax

On your first visit a full case history will be taken and you will be given an examination.  Using a highly developed sense of touch 'palpation', any points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body will be identified by the osteopath.  The osteopath uses her hands to investigate the underlying causes of pain and to carry out treatment using a variety of manipulative techniques.  These may include rhythmic joint movements, manipulation, soft tissue stretching and gentle releasing techniques.  This can help to reduce muscular spasm, improve circulation, reduce swelling and improve mobility, helping to create a healthier state in which damaged tissue can heal.
