• Osteopathy 

Sophie-Lee uses a wide variety of techniques, including 

1. Soft Tissue Manipulation: Gentle manipulation of muscles and connective tissues to reduce tension, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation.

2. Joint Mobilization: Applying gentle movements to joints to improve range of motion and alleviate stiffness.

3. Muscle Energy Techniques (METs): Engaging the patient's muscles in specific directions against resistance to improve muscle function and joint mobility.

4. Spinal Manipulation: Also known as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), this involves applying controlled force to the spine to realign vertebrae and relieve pain or discomfort.

5. Stretching Exercises: Prescribing specific stretches to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and prevent injury.

6. Cranial Osteopathy: A gentle technique that focuses on the skull and its subtle movements to promote relaxation, relieve headaches, and enhance overall well-being.

7. Visceral Manipulation: Gentle manipulation of internal organs to improve their mobility and function, which may help alleviate digestive issues and other visceral complaints.

8. Lymphatic Pump Techniques: Gentle rhythmic movements applied to the lymphatic system to promote drainage and improve immune function.

9. Myofascial Release: Applying sustained pressure to release tension in the fascia (connective tissue) surrounding muscles and organs.

10. Postural Assessment and Correction: Evaluating posture and providing guidance on ergonomic adjustments or exercises to improve posture and prevent musculoskeletal problems.

11. Dry Needling: therapeutic technique used by healthcare professionals to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin needles into specific points of the body, to stimulate the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues.
