Discover the Power of Relaxation Therapies at Kennington Osteopathic Practice, Oxford.

Hey there! I'm Sophie, Osteopath at the Kennington Osteopathic Practice, Oxford, ideally located for Oxford and Abingdon patients. Today, I'm thrilled to dive into the transformative world of my popular treatments and relaxation therapies, including Relaxation Massage, Gua Sha Facial Massage and Pregnancy Massage.

Picture this: a serene space, gentle hands guiding you towards relief, and a personalised approach to wellness that focuses on relaxation as the core element. That's what we're all about here.

At my practice, I'm passionate about blending the science of osteopathy with the art of relaxing massage. It's not just about addressing the physical symptoms; it's about understanding the mind-body connection and how it influences your overall well-being.

During lockdown, I found a considerable increase in stress-related issues presenting in the clinic. I wanted to be able to treat patients' mental and physical health; thus, Relaxation therapies were born.

Why relaxation therapies with an Osteopath, you might wonder?

Let me break it down for you. Osteopathy is all about enhancing your body's natural ability to heal itself. Combining osteopathy's expertise, skills, and anatomical knowledge with relaxation therapies can create a harmonious environment where your body can unwind, reset, and recover. Over 70% of patients are asleep within the first 20 minutes.

Gua Sha Facial Massages

Experience the rejuvenating blend of traditional osteopathic wisdom and modern relaxation with our Gua Sha Facial Massage at Kennington Osteopathic Practice. Rooted in osteopathic principles, this specialised facial massage targets facial muscles, releasing tension and enhancing circulation. Ideal for those grappling with headaches, jaw pain, or neck tension, the Gua Sha technique promotes holistic well-being. 

As an osteopath, I integrate my understanding of facial anatomy to provide a therapeutic touch, relieving stress points and promoting relaxation. It's not just a facial; it's a revitalising journey towards headache relief and facial wellness, ensuring you leave with a radiant complexion and a sense of inner calm.
