Osteopathy
Why See an Osteopath?
Osteopathy might be the right option to help you if pain is regularly disturbing your life. Osteopaths as primary health care practitioners know all about pain and we treat more than just backs and necks. From shoulders to knees and fingers to toes, we are trained to treat the whole body.
Osteopaths create treatment plans to fit your individual lifestyle. So, if you are fed up with not being able to lift your bags or even your children or you are feeling irritated because you’re in too much pain to walk the dog then it’s time for a visit!
Osteopathy is not just about clicking backs, in fact we work on muscles, ligaments, fascia and tendons too. We also don’t “put bones or discs back into place” but aim to remove any mechanical hindrance to your normal movement. Osteopath’s treat the body’s structure to help improve its movement and function. We know that pain can really get you down and we are here to support you.
What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a safe natural form of skilled manual therapy. It uses a system of examination, diagnosis and treatment of the body’s musculoskeletal system.
The body functions as a complete working system. Any problems that affect the body’s structure will upset the balance of our general health. Therefore treatment concentrates on the relationship between the structure of the body such as the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue and the way in which the body moves and functions. All systems of the body depend on movement for optimal health. Osteopathic care is based on the principle that while the body is a self-healing organism it occasionally requires a helping hand.
Osteopathy alleviates tightness and in doing so may free trapped nerves and muscular spasm, as well as improving blood and lymphatic flow. It helps to restore balance to the spine and nervous system, people often feel relaxed and an improved sense of well-being over the course of treatment. Osteopaths aim to provide both immediate and long term relief from pain.
Osteopaths use a range of hands on techniques such as pressure, massage, stretching and manipulation to correct imbalances in the body’s musculoskeletal structure to help the body to return to normal function.
Osteopathy is a statutory regulated primary health care profession. This means you have the same level of assurance as consulting a dentist or a doctor.
