Client Testimonials Speak Volumes
The treatment I have received under Holly's skilled hands has been amazing. I struggled for years with a series of seemingly unconnected aches, pains, and problems with my joints. But after taking the time to really find out plenty about the issues, Holly was not only able to find a solution that nobody else had worked out, but she also identified a single underlying cause to the separate problems. Her treatment also started to take effect immediately. The environment she creates around her is also great; it completely puts you at ease and is all part of the treatment. She's very easy to talk to and get along with too, which I found helpful. I don't think I've ever met a therapist who knows her stuff as well as Holly, or who had treated me as effectively. Very highly recommended.
I came to Holly about a year ago after I read a review on how amazing and different the experience was with her as an osteopath. By that time, I'd been searching for an Osteo for quite some time and tried different offers, but couldn't find the one I would stay with. From the first visit, I loved it. She helped me to recover from a very stressful period in my life, where my body was not in a good condition; helped to build my health plan and supported me on every step adjusting visits to suit me best. Now I feel so much better & have a routine to keep me up and come to Holly as needed. She is a very energetic and positive person, so every appointment is like a boost for the body & spark of joy. I would highly recommend Holly!
Holly is great, I always leave feeling better. Holly cares about more than just working on what "hurts" but considers other things that could be leading to the tension. It is a great way to get a deeper understanding of what is going on in your body. It's great going somewhere where their goal is to help you improve and manage rather than relying on them.

Chronic Pain
Living with chronic pain can be exhausting and frustrating. At Total You Osteopathy, we understand the complexities of chronic pain and provide tailored treatment plans, in and outside of the treatment room to address the root cause.
Headaches & Migraines
Frequent headaches can be debilitating, but osteopathy offers a natural solution. At Total You, we focus on identifying the underlying causes. Our treatments aim to provide relief, helping to reduce frequency and intensity.
What to Expect
Initial Appointment
Your very first appointment will be 1 hour, allowing us to take a thorough case history. This will include your current problem, past medical history and all your injuries. We want to understand where you and your body have been up until this point. We want to make sure we know everything that could be contributing to any issues you may have. The more we know the more effective treatment will be and the more likely we will achieve what it is you are seeking.
Physical Examination
A proper physical examination allows us to pinpoint exactly what structures and factors are causing your problems. This not only allows us to give you a clear diagnosis, prognosis and timeline of our expectations for you to get better, but also to help us treat more effectively, giving you a more focused comprehensive treatment.
Hands-on Treatment
Treatment will be dependent on the findings from the examination and case history. Treatment will be tailored to the patient’s wants, needs, and preferences and includes a variety of techniques including the use of soft tissue massage, articulation and gentle manipulative techniques. Throughout the hands-on treatment, you will be provided with some suggestions for lifestyle changes, nutritional plans, exercise plans, and dietary supplements.
Treatment Plans
No longer feel invisible when you leave a health appointment. We understand that what you do outside of the treatment room is just as, if not more important, than the treatment itself. You will leave your appointment knowing a diagnosis of your injury, explained clearly in a way you are able to explain it to someone else, what you need to be doing, what you need to stop doing between now and the next appointment. You will be making this plan together with your Osteopath, so it is achievable around your other life commitments and financial situation.
Ongoing Appointments
These will be 30 minutes, allowing for a brief understanding of the symptom picture since the last appointment, physical examination, and treatment. The number of appointments needed will depend on the severity of your issue and will be agreed upon by you with your practitioner’s advice. Total You Osteopathy is a true partnership.
Maintenance Care
Maintenance appointments are at your discretion. Most patients will be keen for maintenance appointments anywhere between 4 weeks to 12 weeks. We never remain in one place, once your pain is gone your goals are likely to change, along with your needs. Routine care helps to keep you on top of any issues and ensure they do not cause you problems in the future. We can help you be who you want to be.
