Osteopathy is hands on treatment
Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners; they are trained to reach their own diagnoses and decide the best course of treatment for your problem with your consent. A treatment session will include a bespoke treatment to meet your needs. This can range from very gentle release (like cranial osteopathy) through massage, stretching and articulation, to exercise prescription and HVLT (joint mobilisation).
Osteopaths can also be trained in other therapies which they may incorporate where needed, like dry needling acupuncture, visceral manipulation or exercise rehabilitation.
Structural osteopathy looks at the impact of musculoskeletal problems like injuries or tension in the muscles, joints, nerves and tendons, and evaluates how they might be affecting wellbeing as a whole. Through analysis and manipulation, your osteopath will seek to treat the root cause of the problem, as well as ease the presenting symptoms, with the aim of reducing the likelihood of recurrence.
What is Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an established and recognised system of diagnosis and treatment for musculoskeletal problems. It involves the examination of the structure and function of the body and how its various parts, such as the bones, joints, ligaments, discs, muscles, tendons and nerves, work together in unity. It addresses the pain, aches and strains caused by a breakdown of the body’s usual working patterns to help alleviate the symptoms. Osteopathic treatment consists of techniques such as mobilisation and manipulation of the bones, joints and soft-tissues to remove restrictions which may be preventing normal mobility, blood flow, nerve supply and muscle activity.
