​
WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy is a gentle yet effective method of alternative healthcare, which is based on diagnosing and treating the musculoskeletal system.
​
Osteopaths not only treat pain but diagnose what caused the pain to help stop it from happening again.
​
Similar to Physiotherapists, Osteopaths treat the whole body. Mainly focussed on treating the soft tissue, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. ​

Osteopaths treat through manual (hands-on) therapy. Using techniques, such as;
-
soft tissue, similar to massage
-
articulation of joints
-
stretches and manipulation of joints (where a click may be heard)
