Anxiety & Mental Health
Anxiety disorders are common mental health problems that affect many people.
Approximately 25% of the population will have an anxiety disorder that warrants treatment at some time in their life.
Depression can be a result of life circumstances, reaction to a specific incident or related to other chronic health conditions.
As well as feelings of sadness, poor concentration, indecision, social phobias or panic attacks, people often have other symptoms with anxiety or depression such as stomach or muscle pains, loss or change in appetite, sleep disturbances and fatigue.
Massage
The greatest benefit of massage for people with anxiety or depression is in relieving muscular tension, while helping to relax your whole body and mind.
While not a permanent solution, many people report feeling more relaxed after a massage treatment and have a better night's sleep.
Osteopathy
By relieving spinal tension and unblocking neural pathways, Osteopathy can be useful for treating the symptoms of anxiety that occur in the digestive tract or bowel such as nausea and stomach pains as well as improving blood flow to the brain and other parts of the body.
Osteopathic treatment may include:
soft tissue massage to relieve muscle tension
gentle osteopathic joint mobilisation
crainial-sacral therapy
Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
