Highly recommend David as an osteopath! After trying physios, chiropractors, medication, and everything in between I have managed to gain relief from postural occupational and cranial pains. David is knowledgable, professional and most importantly provides treatment that improves symptoms. The K laser deals with tendonitis when it flares up which has allowed me to continue working. David uses a multitude of techniques in a holistic manner.

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Osteopathy can help with Shoulder Impingement, but if the condition is chronic, an operation may be required.
