Chiropractors treat a wide variety of conditions, including back, neck or joint pain and conditions arising from a sports injury.
They also treat headaches caused by neck problems, as well as helping patients with migraine prevention.
There is no typical chiropractic patient.
Those seeking help and advice include both young and older people, manual workers, office professionals, pregnant women, children and people who do sport.
Treatment by a chiropractor involves manipulation - very precise handling or movement - of the spine or joints to remedy the problem. A chiropractor may also give you advice on exercise, self-help, diet and lifestyle. Some may also offer rehabilitation programmes.

Paediatric Chiropractic (6-16)

Chiropractic and Osteopathy may assist your child as they grow into teenagers and adults.
We take pride in making sure that they develop in a functional stable way by offering assessments of their posture and movement.
We are of course happy to help with any injuries they may have through growing up and suggest that children have regular check ups too.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a therapeutic modality in itself but also supports the work done by chiropractors and osteopaths as well as assisting in keeping you well exercising at Energise
It is a specialised and focused treatment of the soft tissue aspects of any condition.

Reflexology

Facial or Foot Reflexology Treatment may complement the treatment and advice given in Southcote Proactive Healthcare and Energise but also stands on its own as a non-invasive, calming, balancing therapy that may bring relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. As such it is suitable for all ages.

Rebecca Stokes
(She/Her/Hers)

After a career as a professional dancer and dance teacher, Rebecca earned a Master’s Degree in Osteopathy from the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, Kent. In addition, she is a qualified sports massage therapist and is currently training to become a certified Infant Feeding Coach. She is passionate about empowering her clients through individualised care, compassion, and evidence-informed education. She is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment; working with people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds to ensure everyone feels respected and valued. Rebecca enjoys continually expanding her knowledge and addressing various conditions using the full spectrum of osteopathic approaches. This includes structural techniques such as soft tissue work, joint articulation, and manipulation, as well as functional approaches, including but not limited to cranial osteopathy and visceral techniques. Her education at the European School of Osteopathy encompassed working with children, infants, and pregnant and postpartum clients. Additionally, she gained experience in the university’s specialised clinic for headaches under the guidance of Helena Bridge, who is part of the award-winning teaching team, OPHM (Osteopaths for Progress in Headaches & Migraines).

Osteopathy with Rebecca

“The role of the osteopath is to help the body help itself.” – A. T. Still

One of the important principles guiding osteopathic philosophy and treatment is the understanding that the body generally strives for healing and balance. However, at times we can become overwhelmed, and our resources depleted by stress, illness, or physical and emotional trauma—much like a cup that has reached its brim and begins to overflow. While some conditions are chronic or may complicate the healing process, osteopathic care works to support the body in its natural efforts to regulate and heal wherever possible.

Rather than ‘fixing’ you, my focus is on helping you remove the obstacles that prevent your body from supporting itself effectively. Through manual treatment and the introduction of tools for both mind and body, I aim to either assist in recovery or help manage chronic symptoms—allowing the cup to stop spilling over and restoring balance.

My approach is centred on collaboration, where we work together to make informed decisions about your care. I believe in empowering you to take an active role in your health journey, while I provide guidance and support along the way. Together, we can create a plan that reflects your needs, values, and goals, helping you take charge of your well-being with my assistance.

What can you expect from an initial osteopathic consultation with Rebecca?

First I will take a case history based on your presenting complaint followed by asking questions about your general health. After that I will examine your body based on what I think may be the cause of your discomfort. I will then formulate a working diagnosis according to the examination findings and treat and give advice correspondingly.

Depending on your complaint and medical background the case history and examination can take up the majority of an initial appointment. This is to discuss your management options and make sure you are safe to treat. The examination itself is supported by osteopathic as well as orthopaedic reasoning and assessment. In order to make examination and treatment as comfortable as possible for you it is best to wear relaxed clothing. Depending on your complaint I may ask you to remove your top or trousers if you are comfortable doing so. Wearing a sports bra or shorts can help maintain your modesty during the treatment.
