John Vesey
I have been an Osteopath for over 37years and have a wealth of experience in treating people with a wide range of health issues. I have a passion for helping people rediscover their health and reach their full potential. I treat Adults, Babies, and Children.
My therapies include Cranial Osteopathy, Osteopathy, and Counselling. Often talking through life experiences, stresses and shocks during an Osteopathic treatment can help release body and mind patterns Old emotional stresses are held in the body and mind, so a Body to Mind and a Mind to Body approach often works well.

Osteopathy
with John
Counselling
and
Counselling Psychology
This form of manual medicine has been developing over more than 100 years.
It is a holistic approach, working with the structure and functions of the whole body
and is applicable to adults of all ages, pregnant women, children and babies .
What to expect?
On your first visit (usually 1hour) a full case history and examination takes place and a diagnosis and treatment plan is made, usually followed by treatment.
Cranial Osteopathy (not just the head) is a key part of treatment, which has profound balancing effects on the mechanical structures of the body, including the fasciae, the central and autonomic nervous systems, viscera, circulatory, and lymphatic systems and this is often deeply restorative and relaxing. People of all ages from birth onwards can benefit.
Visceral Osteopathy, a gentle rebalancing of position and movement of organs of the body such as stomach, lungs or bowel helping them work more efficiently.
Our therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each person according to their needs.
