Osteopathic

Osteopathy is an established recognised system of diagnosis and treatment, emphasising the structural and functional integrity of the body.

It recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions.

Osteopathy works on the basis that many of the causes of pain and disability stem from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease. Addressing these underlying imbalances allows the body to improve its normal functional capacity.

How does it work?

Osteopaths focus on the body's skeleton and joint function along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs.

Using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an osteopath works with the body to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.

Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques, and some specific adjustments affecting joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments).
