Osteopathy
Osteopathy in later life
Dignity, balance and keeping the village walk — how Steve Hall treats older adults at Health at Hart.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Stiffness that has arrived by inches, a fear of kerbs, a shoulder that no longer reaches the cupboard. Age is context. Pain is still worth examining.
What we can do in clinic
Gentler techniques, more time, and respect. I work with Deborah on balance when falls are in the story. I will not shout or rush you.
Red flags and when to see your GP
A fall with a hit to the head on blood thinners, or a sudden change in walking, is medical first.
