Understanding Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common issue that can develop suddenly or gradually due to posture, stress, or everyday strain.

In our latest blog, we explore common causes, symptoms, and how osteopathy can relieve discomfort, restore mobility, and support long-term neck health.
Understanding Low Back Pain
Low back pain is extremely common, but the lower back is a strong, resilient structure designed to support and move us through life. Most episodes are caused by temporary strain rather than serious injury and respond well to gentle movement, lifestyle changes, and targeted osteopathic care.
At Release Osteopathy, we take a whole-body approach assessing posture, movement, and general health to relieve discomfort, strengthen your back, and prevent recurrence. In some cases, pain may originate outside the spine, so a thorough assessment helps screen for underlying causes, ensuring safe and effective treatment.
