Who are we?
Carla started Bright Osteopathy in 2012 after moving to Brighton & Hove when she graduated from University College of Osteopaths. Shani also graduated from the UCO and joined the clinic in 2020 in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic. We are enthusiastic to help you with your pain and get you feeling better & more comfortable as quickly as possible.
After your initial appointment, our aim is that you leave with a thorough understanding of whats causing your symptoms and what the most effective treatment and management plan is. Osteopaths usually use a combination of techniques to help treat your symptoms, including stretching and massage of the muscles & articulation and manipulation of the joints. These techniques aim to improve function, mobility and circulation, allowing the body to start to recover.
