IDENTIFY YOUR PAIN
Here at Skeletos, we understand that pain can show up in many different ways—sometimes it's sharp and sudden, other times it's a dull ache that lingers. The key to long-term relief isn’t just treating the symptoms, but identifying the root cause and addressing it with a tailored approach.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent discomfort, mobility issues, or recurring pain, Nick can help you understand what’s happening and guide you toward lasting solutions.

WHY YOUR PAIN MATTERS
Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention. Ignoring it or masking symptoms with painkillers can lead to compensatory movement patterns, which may create further issues down the line.
Osteopathy doesn’t just treat the site of pain—we assess the entire body, identifying imbalances, movement restrictions, and underlying causes to create a treatment plan that works for you.
