Osteopathy
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a gentle and effective hands-on approach to healthcare, based on the principle that the way your body moves influences how it functions. Osteopathy takes a holistic approach to health and wellbeing looking at the whole person including their mind, body, spirit and environment. Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals that are fully qualified to diagnose and treat independently. Osteopathy is authorized by all major health insurance providers as well as recommended in the NICE guidelines for the treatment of low back pain. Osteopathy can be used to treat all ages from babies to the elderly. The kind of conditions osteopathy has been proven to help include back pain, headaches, dizziness and neck pain, shoulder pain and frozen shoulder arm, elbow pain, abdominal pain and digestive issues, sport injuries, pregnancy, fracture rehabilitation, pre and post operative hip pain, as well as mild and serious long term chronic conditions. Where possible osteopaths seek to resolve the underlying cause of the problem, and therefore prevent it from reoccurring.

Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
A therapeutic, remedial massage, which can be given as a general treatment, or to help with specific muscular problems.
The intention is to stretch out tensed, contracted muscle fibres, to help them to return to their relaxed length and to assist in the breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions, which may be the result of poor posture, overuse, or an old injury. Various active and passive exercises, or other techniques, may also be used to assess the client and to help strengthen the muscle groups. This will definitely help if you suffer from general muscular aches and pains.
Treatments last 1 hour.
- Relieves muscle aches and pains
- Helps to tone muscles
- Increases blood circulation
- Helps to detoxify by increasing lymphatic drainage, thus improving cellulite
- Boosts the immune system which helps speed recovery from illness
- Helps enhance mood and lift depression
- Relieves stress and aids restful sleep
- Nourishes and moisturises the skin
Holistic Massage with Reiki
Holistic massage aims to restore balance within the body, taking into account the person's whole being not just their physical symptoms or ailments. This nurturing treatment combines an hour of flowing massage techniques using essential oils followed by 20 minutes of Chakra balancing and Reiki.
Reiki is a channelling of healing energy that taps into your body's own intelligence and immune system to enable it to heal itself. It also works on an emotional level to melt away your stress, relax you, and probably help you sleep better and wake up with enhanced energy.
Holistic Massage with Reiki £80 (1 hour 20 minutes)
Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage
Concentrating on stress and tension areas, we use aromatherapy-blended oil to restore a sense of well-being.
Pregnancy Massage
This supportive massage uses specific techniques to alleviate back pain and muscular tension caused by changes in posture and body shape, as well as helping other discomforts that can occur during pregnancy. It is also beneficial to have post-partum massage to improve muscle tone and rejuvenate the body after birth.
See our pre and post natal section for more information.
Hot Stone Massage
A wonderfully restorative, deeply therapeutic treatment that combines the relaxing warmth of hot stones and massage. The heat from the stones penetrates the muscles and joints helping to relieve tension and any associated pain, thus allowing a deeper, more comfortable treatment than is possible with regular massage. Not recommended during pregnancy.

Testimonials
I would highly recommend Liz's massage therapy. She is a highly professional and sensitive therapist who takes a real interest in the people she treats in order to provide them with the most appropriate treatment. As someone looking to relieve stress and muscle tension, sessions with Liz have also left me feeling relaxed and soothed. Above all she has a lovely way; someone who is easy to chat to with a calming aura
Suffering with severe pain in my neck, and down my right arm (so bad I couldn't sleep), I went to see Sybil a couple of weeks ago. I found her to be professional, very personable and a great communicator willing/able to clearly explain what she thought the 'problem' was and the treatment she planned to carry out. As well as the treatment, she gave me advice on some exercises I should do and identified a couple things I should stop doing. I'm delighted to say, I am now back to what is for me, full fitness, back to cycling and on the way to agreeing my new fitness programme.
I have been seeing massage therapist Elizabeth Gilhooly a number of years. Liz is a unique therapist who is not only sensitive to each client and their needs, but she also has the best touch and technique I have ever experienced, and I have had massages in many different countries. She naturally finds the problem areas of the body and heals them with massage and her energy. I love it!
As a busy consultant working in the NHS I have found having regular massage over several years with Helen Whiting a vital ingredient of my health and wellbeing. She's very professional and calm and as comfortable with chatting as she is working silently. Her hands are very strong and she really does deliver a deep-tissue massage. She is so skilled at finding those tightened-up muscles that are a result of days at the computer and work stress. I feel very safe in her hands and am so lucky to have found such an excellent massage therapist!
Regular massage is an integral part of looking after myself - both physically and mentally - and I can highly recommend Elizabeth Gilhooly. I've been seeing her for more years than I care to remember, and she is an extremely skilled therapist. Each massage is geared to what I need, whether it's deep tissue on a particular area, a soothing and relaxing get-away-from-it-all, hot stone, Hawaiian rhythmic massage, a healing treatment... or a combination of any of the above. I couldn't do without my Thursday massage.
If you get anxious about having your bikini area done, Clare and her attention to detail will assure you are in safe hands. Clare is a credited woman dedicated to beauty care for many years. She knows how to make you feel comfortable and her job is faultless. She is a rare gem in the heart of London, her great experience and distinctive politeness make her professionally and humanly the best beautician ever Silva
Sybil has an incredible ability to quickly diagnose the issues with my back and gently give me treatment which has helped tremendously. I experienced benefit immediately in the first session. I know I am in good hands and I would highly recommend her Alana Poto
I highly recommend Sybil - a skilled, intuitive, caring and highly effective osteopath Kay Stuart
Massage really is money and time well spent. And it achieves a deep relaxation that I rarely access. Thank you Liz & @7Therapies #selfcare manywaysofbeing @manywaysofbeing
Helen is an extremely gifted masseuse with both strength and sensitivity, the best I have found over many years of massage. She has an intuitive knack for finding the precise source of tension and working it however deeply or gently you wish. She has a wonderfully calm and relaxed manner and it is always a pleasure to spend an hour in her company. Matthew, Head of Marketing
Helen's wonderful massage started my journey back to Indiana with a very relaxed and unstressed set of muscles. However, I could have used another once back home after travelling via train, plane and car for twelve hours. She's an excellent massage therapist and I'm so grateful she was able to accommodate my short notice request. Becky Hunsinger

Reflexology
The aim of Reflexology is to encourage the body to find its own natural balance and to promote healing. Reflexology is based on the principal that invisible energy pathways run throughout the body, like the meridians in acupuncture. These channels can become blocked due to stress or illness and this prevents the body from functioning efficiently. During a treatment, the therapist applies pressure with the thumbs or fingers to specific points, or reflexes, on the feet, which helps to unblock the energy flow - having a positive effect on the organs or glands which lie in the corresponding zone of the body.
The roots of Reflexology can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians. It is a truly holistic therapy, as it can affect the receiver on both a physical and emotional level.
Positive Effects of Reflexology
- Helps reduce stress, encourages relaxation and aids restful sleep
- Improves circulation and helps clear toxins from the body
- Improves peripheral nerve supply
- Can help to revitalise energy and improve mental clarity
- Boosts the immune system which assists recovery from illness or disease
- Induces a feeling of wellbeing
- Is an effective preventative healthcare treatment
Reflexology can help with a wide range of ailments and conditions including:
Migraine, insomnia, depression, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, back ache, high blood pressure, menstrual problems, hormone imbalances, infertility.
The first treatment includes a detailed consultation and lasts approximately an hour and ten minutes. Subsequent treatments last for an hour and they are always concluded with a relaxing foot massage. A course of 6 treatments is highly recommended to help with chronic disorders and restore the body's own natural balance.
Helen is particularly interested in the positive benefits that reflexology can bring in helping to alleviate female conditions such as difficulty in conceiving, menstrual problems, IBS and other stress-related symptoms.

At 7 Therapies, we give a wonderful pedicure with a relieving and moisturising foot massage, resulting in beautifully polished coloured nails, buffed to a high shine.
Pamper your hands. Due to the increase in vitamins and minerals, and the blood and hormonal changes during pregnancy, the fingernails and toenails will grow faster than ever before. Your hands are constantly on show, so if they look great they feel great.

Osteopathy
Osteopathy can help support a woman throughout her pregnancy and also after the birth of her baby.
During pregnancy the body undergoes substantial postural and physiological changes to accommodate the growing fetus. This may lead to stresses and strains along the spine, ribs and in particular, the pelvis. Dysfunctions such as SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction), sciatica and even heartburn can be addressed. The osteopath will also advise on lifestyle, at home exercises and positions to help alleviate pain and prepare for the birth. In osteopathy the aim is to maintain optimal movement and reduce discomfort and stress allowing the woman confidence in her body for the health and security of the pregnancy and the upcoming birth.
After the birth, it is highly recommended to have a check both for the new mum and the baby. For the mum, it is an important time to see an osteopath to ensure the body has readapted post delivery and aid recuperation. The practitioners can also address any new strains due to feeding for long periods, carrying and lifting and give advice and exercises to help further. A check for baby is important to address any issues from the extreme stresses of birth which may contribute to difficulties in the future. These may include feeding, sleeping and settling. It is recommended for any type of delivery.

Massage
Our prenatal massage is tailored specifically for your special needs of a mother-to-be as your body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. In a tranquil and comfortable set-up you can have some time for yourself to relax and enjoy the treatment which offers physiological, emotional and psychological benefits.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage
- Assists in remedying many of the discomforts during pregnancy: muscular discomforts, lower-back pain, headaches, leg cramps, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, heartburn and acid reflux, fatigue, varicose veins, constipation, nasal congestion, shortness of breath, oedema of the lower extremities, sacroiliac and hip joint pain
- Increases blood circulation, which provides more oxygen and nutrients to both mother and fetus and stimulates the lymph system, thereby increasing immunity and removal of toxins
- Stabilizes hormonal levels and helps relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes
- Soothes and relaxes the nervous system by releasing endorphins into the mother's body. As a result, the expectant mother feels more relaxed and at ease, and will also sleep more easily and more deeply
- Assists in maintaining good posture and adjusting to a changing alignment caused by the baby's increasing weight.
- Eases the load on the heart and helps keep blood pressure in check
- Enhances the pliability of skin and underlying tissues
- Supports the return of blood to the heart and increases blood flow to the uterus and placenta.
- Prepares the mother-to-be for an easier delivery with its sedating effect on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and stress relief.
Postpartum massage can help restore a mother's body to its pre-pregnancy condition. It helps to realign the body and tone the skin. It is also important to keep muscle tension to a minimum around shoulders and arms whilst adjusting to mothering duties. A calming nurturing touch promotes relaxation and provides emotional support during this transitional period.
No matter where you are in the childbearing year, massage may have many benefits for you and your baby.

Reflexology
As your bump develops, Reflexology helps to ease the aches and pains that can occur, but it can also provide relief from some of the many other symptoms you may experience such as morning sickness, heartburn, swelling in your legs constipation, sciatica, high blood pressure, insomnia, bladder problems, mild cramping, and even haemorrhoids In addition, reflexology seems to reduce emotional stresses, such as depression and anxiety.
Studies have shown that regular Reflexology though out pregnancy significantly reduced both the time in the first stage of labour and the pain experienced, thus reducing the need for pain relief. Towards the end of the pregnancy and after your due date, Reflexology can help bring on uterine contractions, which is a more holistic option than a hospital induction.
