Surgery and how we can help
Seriously, don't come to see us for care after surgery until 10 days have passed and your external wounds are pretty solidly healed. Of course we are not going to throw you about post surgery; we will be appropriately gentle and specific with our care. After surgery you need to eat well - a daily pho won't go astray - and rest. Really rest […]
Sport & Injuries
By its very nature, exercise and sport can cause injuries. Whatever those injuries are, many practitioners consider that the cause of the injury, and the result of the injury, is muscle weakness - and what is needed is strengthening exercises. So the recommendation is exercise, exercise and more exercise to somehow enable repair and rehabilitation. It rarely works, and because […]
Sleep. Why is it so important?
Sleep is one of the most important health measures we have. Recent American research shows that lack of sleep is epidemic and constitutes a public health crisis. Poor sleep quality has been proven to result in poor physical health, poor memory, and in fact nearly all people suffering mental health problems have a history of […]
What is Osteopathy and how can it help me?
Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine which aims to improve health, function and well-being by removal of the mechanical dysfunctions, fascial strain patterns and movement restrictions which are part of illness and poor function, and which can hinder a return to good health.

You’ve Got the Flu. Now what?
Firstly, you've had the vaccination that matches the circulating strain? Yes? No? In either case, stay home, as much as you can. The flu virus hangs around in the air for up to 2 hours, so don't go out to get it, and don't go out to spread it. Breathe only warm air, drink only warm fluids. […]
Fractures in Detail
When a bone is broken, it will initially need to be x-rayed or scanned and your medical doctor will decide on a course of action that may be splinting, an open surgical reduction or no action at all. But the trauma that caused the break is not confined to the broken bone - that just […]
How can acupuncture help?
The acupuncture clinic in Newtown offers individual, tailored treatments to reduce symptoms associated with many health disorders. According to Chinese medicine theory, the body’s Qi (or energy) flows through the body along specific pathways (meridians) and connects the body’s tissues with internal organs. Imbalances in this energy such as blockage or weakness can cause pain, […]
Diet & physical wellbeing
At CSO every day for 30 years, we have seen the saddening consequences of an inadequate diet. There's little that needs to be said about poor diet - we all know that crisps, coke and hamburgers and tv dinners are not a healthy choice. Most often, this diet lacks animal protein. The person who makes […]
