Visceral Osteopathy At Active Care Maidstone

At Active Care, we are delighted to offer Visceral Osteopathy as one of our core treatment styles. Visceral Osteopathy focuses on working the human body as a whole, treating the person not a specific diagnosis and therefore encouraging the body to heal itself.

What is Visceral Osteopathy?

Visceral Osteopathy is performed by applying manual therapy techniques to the body’s inner organs, to treat a much wider range of conditions than traditional osteopathy treatment can give.

Our experienced osteopaths use a combination of techniques to detect and address restrictions, tensions and imbalances in areas throughout the body.

Like other forms of osteopathy, visceral osteopathy is a gentle form of manual therapy and a combination of techniques will be used for best results.

Osteopathy is known for its gentle approach. While some patients may experience mild discomfort during treatment, the techniques used are designed to be comfortable and non-invasive.
At Active Care Maidstone, we ensure that each of our patients voice is heard before, during and after an appointment. There are many methods we can use to get the results you need, so we won’t use any click manipulations if you don’t wish us to.
You can check that each of our practitioners are qualified by visiting the General Osteopathic Register.

We accept payment in Cash, by Card or Bank Transfer.
A receipt or invoice will be provided to you on request.

In some cases, our patients can remain clothed for the duration of their treatment so we recommend patients wear comfortable, loose clothing.
It is sometimes necessary to remove clothing so we can observe certain patterns within the body and massage where necessary. You may also be asked to remove restrictive clothing like jeans, additional layers or jewellery so please discuss any preference with your practitioner. It is useful to bring a loose pair of shorts and/or sports bra if you are uncertain.

We appreciate that there are sometimes occasions where a client may be running late. We will always do our best to still accommodate your appointment but if it is going to impact the following client it is not always possible.
Please call or leave a message if you know that you are running late. Your practitioner will return your call at their earliest convenience.
Unattended appointments will be charged if they are not cancelled more than 24 Hours in advance.

Due to our Maidstone town centre location, we do not have specific parking available to our staff or patients.
Fremlin Walk Car Park is the closest (Approx 3 Minutes Walk) to our clinic however there are other car parks such as Medway Street (6 Minutes) or Maidstone Train Station (6 Minutes) which our clients frequent as they are also a short walk away.
Areas along Lower Bexley Road & Alexandra Street (8-10 Minutes) offer 2 Hour Free parking options but please check local signage.

As reputable health professionals, it is important we know some background about the history of our patients prior to treating them. This enables us to support and treat your body as a whole, ensuring we achieve the best results.
Often a patient will visit us with a specific symptom but after a short assessment it can found to be connected to an other area of the body, past injury or medical condition. We ask that new and returning patients are open and honest with us so we can meet their needs effectively. Our osteopaths are fully qualified and are registered with the General Osteopathy Council.

If you wish to receive an Osteopath treatment whilst pregnant, we ask that you inform us at the earliest opportunity as we may need to complete a short phone consultation prior to your visit.
As Women’s Health experts we regularly treat women across all trimesters of pregnancy and post-natally too. Active Care Maidstone know that Osteopathy in pregnancy can be beneficial to many women and are here to help meet your needs as an individual.
