OSTEOPATHY
AT TARA NORTHEY OSTEOPATHY & PILATES
SOUTHFIELDS | WIMBLEDON PARK
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)
Your Osteopath will also provide information about your diagnosis and give advice about exercises to prevent the injury from occurring again. This advice can include postural guidance, strengthening exercises, and work-related tips.
