Welcome

Range of Motion is an osteopathic and sports injury treatment service. There are clinics in Weybridge, Surrey and Verwood on the Dorset/Hampshire border close to Ringwood run by Tony Hewitt. You can read more about me here.

An osteopath will treat many conditions, not just back pain.

Services include osteopathic treatment for the whole family including cranial osteopathy, specific sports massage and treatment packages, small business packages, sports injury advice and an orthotics fitting service.

Think of your body as a working machine each part interrelated to other parts of your body. Like any machine it benefits from regular maintenance to make sure that all those pathways which your body uses to allow the movement of nerve impulses, blood supply, lymphatic drainage are free from restrictions. With a program of regular maintenance areas of restriction can be identified and the muscles or joints released allowing you to perform to your maximum whether in sporting activities or just managing the daily tasks.

The treatment relationship we have is a partnership aimed at your return to health, effectively an agreement and in addition to the direct work you do with me it is essential that you take measures to build on that between treatments and long term to stay pain free. We will discuss practical ways that you can build on the treatment and I will advise on how you can exercise and improve your range of motion. If you have questions about your treatment or unexpected niggles between treatments please call me and if appropriate I will provide further advice.

Managing body fat is often a feature of the conversations I have with patients and massage clients when discussing their general health and the causes for  some of the problems they present to me with. With this in mind, the following research caught my eye in an e mail from LWW journals. They had highlighted an article published in the official journal of the American College of Sports medicine titled ‘A 45-Minute Vigorous Exercise Bout Increases Metabolic Rate for 14 hours‘ Read More

Just a personal post to congratulate my wife Paula who has just completed the Votwo Jurassic Coast Challenge along the Dorset coast. It involves running 3 marathons in 3 days from Studland to Charmouth.
