Osteopathy

Osteopathy offers an integrated approach to healthcare with a treatment process tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Incorporating techniques such as physical manipulation, stretching and massage, health information, self-management advice and exercise therapy, osteopathy bases a lot of its focus on the realignment of the body to optimise its functions.

Although osteopathy is often used to treat back pain, it can help relieve the symptoms of a wide range of conditions, such as joint pain, neuromuscular conditions, digestive issues, circulatory problems, headaches, sleep problems and more. Patients could be sports people, pregnant women, manual workers, office workers, children or anyone suffering from pain or stiffness.

Osteopathy is all about treating the Whole. Linking body, mind, spirit and soul to offer holistic solutions. Rather than isolating a specific symptom, an osteopath will see it in its full context – the canvas on which it is taking place. On this canvas are all manner of marks, or influences, entirely unique to the individual and their lives.

Through this emphasis on the whole, and on causes rather than symptoms, an osteopath seeks to trigger the body’s innate intelligence so that it can heal itself.
