Osteopathy
Gentle, whole-body care to support movement and wellbeing
Osteopathy is a form of hands-on healthcare that considers how the body’s muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues work together. Instead of focusing only on the area of discomfort, osteopathy takes a whole-person approach to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Osteopaths use manual therapy techniques to support movement, reduce muscle tension, and assist the body’s natural mobility. Treatment also includes education, lifestyle advice, and exercises to support recovery and help you move with more confidence.

Visceral Manipulation
Light, precise, and gentle manual pressure to relieve pain, ease restrictions, and restore balance from the inside out.
Our bodies are wonderfully interconnected — muscles, joints, organs, and connective tissues all work together to keep us moving and functioning well. Sometimes, restrictions or imbalances in the organs and their connective tissues can create tension and pain that affects the whole body. Visceral manipulation is a gentle, hands-on therapy that helps restore this natural harmony.At Alara Women’s Health, we offer this therapy as part of our holistic approach to women’s health, helping you feel freer, more balanced, and more comfortable in your body.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Specialised massage to support lymph flow, recovery and overall wellbeing.
Your lymphatic system plays an essential role in keeping your body healthy — helping to remove waste, reduce swelling, and support your immune system. When this system becomes sluggish or overloaded, it can lead to swelling, discomfort, or a feeling of heaviness in the body. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised massage technique designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid, supporting your body’s healing and overall wellbeing.
At Alara Women’s Health, our skilled massage therapists provide MLD as part of our holistic approach to women’s health. It’s a soothing, relaxing treatment that not only helps with swelling but also nurtures the body and mind.
Dry Needling
Target muscle pain and trigger points with dry needling for lasting relief and better movement.
Sometimes tight, painful muscles or trigger points can feel impossible to release through stretching or massage alone. Dry needling is a safe and effective therapy used by our physiotherapists and massage therapists to target these problem areas directly, reduce pain, and restore movement.
Myofascial Cupping
Gentle negative pressure cupping that lifts and separates deep connective tissue to release tension, ease pain, and restore natural mobility.
Sometimes, muscles and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding them) become tight, restricted, or stuck together, leading to pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. Myofascial cupping is a gentle, effective therapy that uses suction to lift and separate soft tissue, improving circulation and relieving restrictions. At Alara Women’s Health, our physiotherapists and massage therapists use myofascial cupping as part of a holistic approach to care, helping women move more freely, reduce pain, and feel more at ease in their bodies.
Pregnancy Massage
Safe, nurturing pregnancy massage to ease discomfort, reduce stress, and support your journey into motherhood.
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings big changes to your body that can sometimes feel uncomfortable or overwhelming. As your baby grows, you may experience aches, tension, or fatigue that affect how you move, sleep, and feel day to day. At Alara Women’s Health, we believe every woman deserves to feel cared for and supported during this special time. Pregnancy massage is a safe, nurturing way to ease discomfort, reduce stress, and help you reconnect with your body as it changes.
Scar Remediation
Expert, compassionate treatment to soften scars and restore freedom of movement.
Scars tell a story of healing, but they can also leave behind restrictions that affect how your body feels and functions. Whether from surgery, childbirth, injury, or illness, scar tissue may create tightness, pain, or reduced mobility long after the initial wound has healed. At Alara Women’s Health, we believe scars deserve specialised care. That’s why we offer scar remediation — a combination of gentle, evidence-based techniques designed to soften, release, and restore freedom of movement, helping women feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.
