Yoga
There are many benefits to yoga including building strength, flexibility and endurance. Moving the body in a natural way, with minimal props, encourages strengthen and flexibility that is directly applied to all aspects of life.
Classes are tailored to all levels; combining flowing and static postures, breath, acroyoga and deep relaxation with expert anatomical knowledge. Every class is different and designed to suite your specific needs at the time, whether you are feeling energetic, stressed or somewhere in between.
Often the private classes finish with massage, acupuncture or active relaxing to address any deep tension patterns you may hold, leaving you feeling relaxed, calm and focused.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a primary health care system, complementary to other medical practices. It is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to the treatment and management of a wide range of conditions. Osteopaths primarily work through the neuro-musculo-skeletal system, mostly treating muscles and joints, using holistic and patient-centred approaches. Osteopaths treat a wide range of conditions, from postural tensions and sports injuries to pregnancy related pain and headaches. To find out more about conditions treated please visit our 'areas we treat' page.
A core principle behind Osteopathy is the idea that the body is an integrated and indivisible whole, and contains self-healing mechanisms that can be utilised as part of the treatment. No part of the body works, or can be considered, in isolation.
The key tools for osteopathic diagnosis include listening to the patient's history, examining muscles and joints and observing movements. X -rays, scans and other clinical investigations are also used if required. A wide range of gentle, non-invasive manual techniques such as deep tissue massage, joint articulation and manipulation are applied therapeutically. Vibrant Health practitioners also place a strong emphasis on rehabilitation on musculo-skeletal injuries.
Osteopaths must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council in order to practice. Patients may be referred by their doctor, or may opt to see an Osteopath independently.
Many major private medical insurance offer cover for osteopathic treatment. Vibrant Health is registered with AXA/PPP, Bupa International, Aviva, Simply Health, PRU Health and many more, please contact us for more details.
Sports Massage
The main purpose of sports massage is to help alleviate stress and tension which builds up in the body's soft tissues, this can be sports related or from simple day to day activities. When an injury occurs the body often reacts by tensing the soft tissues surrounding the area, massage can work quickly and effectively to reduce this. It can also be helpful in preventing 'niggling' injuries which can hamper performance.
Sports massage tends to be a deeper more intense massage, combining a variety of techniques including stretching, frictionand trigger point release. With sports massage it's especially important to have a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. By understanding these systems and the effects of exercise, we are able to develop a clearer picture of why the individual may be suffering in particular areas, which allows us to tailor our massage treatment.
Sports massage can be beneficial in a variety of areas, from athletes to fun runners pre-event and post-event massage can be helpful. Pre-event massage is directed to enhance circulation and reduce muscle tension. Post-Event massage is used to reduce any muscle spasms and metabolic build up which occurs with rigorous exercise. Following an injury, whether acute or chronic, sports massage techniques can be used to reduce pain and muscle spasm in injured and 'compensating' areas. Friction techniques can be effective in helping produce strong and flexible repair tissues, aiding recovery time and helping to maintain flexibility. Maintenance massage is aimed at maintaining flexibility and focusing on weaknesses or vulnerable areas to reduce the risk of injury.
All massage techniques if necessary will be employed in collaboration with other appropriate medical care.

Medical Acupuncture
Non-traditional acupuncture or medical dry needling reinterprets the traditional apparatus of "meridians" and "points" and is based on the modern understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. In many cases dry needling is used on "trigger points" in muscles, these are tender points within muscles which cause pain when pressed and radiate pain to other areas. Needling the trigger points can relieve pain in these distant areas.
Acupuncture can still work even when there are no trigger points. In such cases it is thought it acts by changing the ways in which the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) is transmitting information about pain.
If considered suitable by your practitioner, medical dry needling can be used to treat different forms of pain, particularly pain in the muscles and joints. It has also been found to help in a range of other disorders, including headaches and migraines, painful periods and ulcerative colitis.
At Vibrant Health medical dry needling is only carried out by practitioners with a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology. If you have any questions or concerns regards this approach to treatment please consult your practitioner.

Paediatric Osteopathy
Similar to adults, children of all ages can greatly benefit from osteopathic treatment. Paediatric osteopathy often uses gentle techniques, such as cranial osteopathy, to treat newborns, infants, children, and teenagers.
Our Paediatric Osteopath has undergone specialised training after completing her Master’s degrees, enabling her to safely and effectively examine, diagnose, and treat children. Parents are welcome to contact us directly with any concerns, and we also accept referrals from other healthcare professionals involved in children's care, such as GPs, midwives, health visitors, and speech and language therapists.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss your child’s specific situation before booking an appointment, please call or email our practice. Jeanne Capdeville, our Paediatric Osteopathy specialist, will then get back in touch with you.
FAQs
Will my child receive any treatment in the first appointment?
We would usually expect to be able to offer treatment in the first appointment, but if it isn’t appropriate we will advise you on the best course of action.
Is there anywhere to leave a pram?
You can leave the pram in the communal hallway at the bottom of the stairs. We are up a flight of stairs so prams cannot be brought into the treatment room. There is unfortunately no lift access.
