OSTEOPATHY

​

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 also diagnose why the cause of the pain and helps to stop it 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 occurring again. This advice can include postural guidance, strengthening exercises and work-related tips.
