About
My name is Shuhan Bayzeeid
I am the principal Osteopath here at Langstone Osteopathy. I studied at Swansea university and I'm registered with the general osteopathic council.
Over the years I have treated conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, scoliosis, chonic lower back pain, cerebral palsy, headaches, fibromyalgia and much more. I have worked with athletes, children, manual workers, and desk based workers.
I provide treatment techniques such as mobilisation, manipulation, MET and NMT (soft tissue and stretching techniques), kinesiology taping, and Balanced ligamentous tension (BLT). I provide all my patients with the knowledge to manage existing chronic conditions, and how to adapt work or hobby activities to prevent pain.
Outside of the clinic I enjoy playing vollyball, basketball and tennis. Occasionally, I’ll go hiking and partake in landscape photography.
Treatment Techniques
1
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, which includes the muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissues. The main principle of osteopathy is that the well-being of an individual depends on these parts working smoothly together. Osteopaths use hands-on techniques such as massage, stretching, and manipulation to improve the mobility and function of these tissues.

Dry Needling
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points in the body, typically targeting trigger points or areas of muscle tension. Purpose: Dry needling aims to reduce muscle pain, improve range of motion, and address musculoskeletal issues. It is commonly used to target knots or trigger points in muscles. Procedure: During a dry needling session, a trained practitioner inserts thin, solid needles directly into the tight or knotted muscles. The term "dry" is used because there is no injection of any substance (such as medication) through the needles. Mechanism: The insertion of needles is believed to stimulate the release of tension in muscles and promote healing. It may also trigger a local twitch response, which is thought to help reset muscle fibres and improve function.

Sports Tape
Sports taping is a technique commonly used in physical therapy and sports medicine, involving the application of a specific type of tape onto the skin to provide support, stability, and aid in the rehabilitation of muscles and joints. Sports taping serves various purposes, including providing support to injured or vulnerable muscles and joints, reducing pain and inflammation, improving proprioception (awareness of body position), and preventing or managing injuries during physical activity.
4
Cranial Osteopathy
Osteopaths use methods such as gentle palpation and manipulation of the skull, facial bones, and the membranes within the cranial cavity. These techniques are intended to alleviate physical or functional problems by reducing tension and promoting optimal function in the cranium. Cranial osteopathy can be used to address a range of conditions. In infants and children, it may help with issues like colic, sleep disturbances, and developmental delays. In adults, it is often applied to alleviate chronic headaches, sinus problems, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. It can also support recovery from trauma, surgery, or stress-related conditions.
5
Rehab
Physical rehabilitation for injuries focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving overall mobility after an injury. We set goals as a partnership between the ostopath and the patient. What activity are you trying to get back to your that your condition is reventing. How can we achieve this with your lifestyle. Which exercies are best suited for you?
6
Patient Education
Education and prevention focusea on providing patients with essential strategies to avoid re-injury and support long-term health. Key aspects include guidance on proper body mechanics and ergonomics, which help patients learn correct lifting techniques and effective ways to handle daily activities without placing undue stress on the healing injury. Patients also receive tailored advice on modifying their daily routines to reduce strain on injured areas. Additionally, they are taught self-care strategies, such as self-massage, to manage minor issues. This comprehensive approach ensures patients are equipped to manage their condition effectively, reduce the risk of future injuries, and maintain overall well-being.
