A trusted and reputable Central London Osteopath
To treat your back pain or to cure, that is the question that can be easily answered. Everyone has experienced back pain at some time in their life and gone to the doctors for advice. Most often you are given a prescription for paracetamol or other such pain killers and guidance on physical activities to avoid. The pain can go away and you carry out your duties only for it to return again three months later. It can be very frustrating when you do not know the root cause of it and the experts can not advise either.
Unless you find a way to eradicate the problem, dealing with a physical problem such as back pain, trapped nerves (ouch), frozen shoulder and other aches and pains can become an incurable issue. It can be very easy to treat the problem with ointments and tablets but the cause will still remain a problem.
This is where Hoods Health come to the rescue and can relieve this uphill struggle you face. Fundamentally different from your local GP,
Hoods Health offer osteopathy focused to look at your ‘whole body’ to relieve the root cause.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a safe, natural form of manual therapy. It is a recognised system of diagnosis and treatment. Osteopaths use the underlying philosophy that the body has a natural tendency to heal itself, but this can be disrupted by abnormalities or imbalances of the body structure. Osteopaths assess the condition of this muskuloskletal structure, looking for areas of weakness, imbalance and excessive strain.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system has a vital role in the body as part of the immune system.
Lymph is a clear to yellowish watery fluid which is found throughout the body. It circulates through body tissues picking up fats, bacteria, and other unwanted materials, filtering these substances out through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system has a vital role in the body as part of the immune system, which protects the body against infection. It transports nutrients to cells and eliminates metabolic wastes, toxins and excess fluid from the body.
Intolerance Testing
Intolerances can lead to a wide range of health problems.
'Intolerance' is a term used to describe a reaction in the body as a result of eating or coming into contact with a particular food or substance. Intolerances can lead to a wide range of symptoms causing IBS, eczema, asthma, bloating, fatigue and many other health problems.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is used alongside osteopathy to gain maximum benefits.
Dry needling is a similar technique to acupuncture. It is a method of pain relief, which works by stimulating nerve fibres and causing “micro-trauma” to the tissue aiding the healing system of the body. It is particularly helpful in severely cramped muscle fibres and chronic conditions.
Reiki
An holistic system which balances and harmonises all aspects of the person.
Reiki is a natural hands-on therapy using “universal life energy”. The first symbol “Rei” means wisdom, knowledge, spirit or aura. The second symbol “ki” is the vital life force energy within and around all living things. Ki is transferred from the practitioner’s hands into the client. It is more than a physical therapy; it is a holistic system of balancing and harmonising all aspects of the person – mind, body, emotion and well-being.

We are dedicated to giving each and every patient individual attention, and provide the best possible care that is delivered specifically to combat the problem areas.
Treatments are carried out by Harpreet Seehra, who is a qualified osteopath proudly registered with the General osteopathic council. She is also a member of the British osteopathic association.
Harpreet graduated from the British school of osteopathy in 2006 following 5 years intensive training. Since graduating with an honours degree she has further trained to incorporate modern acupuncture/dry needling as part of treatment, where required. She has also received intensive training in neuromuscular rehabilitation. In most cases this treatment is offered as part of general osteopathic treatment, if deemed beneficial. In some cases, however, extra sessions may be needed depending on the level of rehabilitation required.
As osteopathy is a holistic therapy we also emphasise the role of diet, lifestyle and exercise for patients. It is our aim to eliminate discomfort and help prevent reoccurrence of the problem.
