A wide variety of people, with a wide variety of ailments that include:- Low back pain, with or without sciatica Neck pain Tension headaches Upper limb disorders, such as shoulder pain Lower limb problems including hip, knee and foot pain Sports injuries ADDITIONALLY, Since Osteopathy is essentially a gentle therapy, it is ideally suited for treating women during and after pregnancy. Babies and toddlers can be treated with Cranial Osteopathy (call in or tel: 01208 812048 for further information). Because a child’s posture is important, school-age children may benefit from a check-up. Osteopaths can treat some of the changes associated with osteoarthritis, to improve joint mobility and increase tissue circulation. Osteopaths can therefore help in the management of many degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis in the hips or knees, particularly in the earlier stages.	Who are Wadebridge Osteopaths? *Kate Hands* has made a post-graduate study of Cranial Osteopathy, working particularly with babies and children.
