Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment designed to produce pain relief for the body's structural and mechanical problems. A gentle form of treatment, osteopathy can benefit most types of aches, pains and strains in people of every age.
Osteopathy lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. It recognises that most pain and disability stem from abnormalities in the functions of the body structure. Osteopathy assesses the mechanical, functional and postural state of the body.
Osteopathy is a safe and natural approach to health care. The osteopath focuses musculo-skeletal system; the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and soft connecting tissues and the way in which their condition affects your body as a whole. It identifies and treats faults, which occur because of injury, stress or perhaps disease. This helps enable the musculo-skeletal system to restore itself to normal functions, relieve pain and to continue to work as efficiently as possible.
Osteopathy helps alleviate symptoms connected with the following conditions:
· Backache
· Neck problems
· Headaches
· Joint and muscle strain
· Pregnancy
· Sports injuries
· Sciatica
· Poor posture and alignment
· Chronic pain
· Work related injuries
· Arthritis
On your first visit you will be given the opportunity to describe your problem in full. You will be examined so that the mobility of your body can be evaluated.
Osteopaths use their hands to investigate and carry out treatment using a variety of techniques to aid improvement and alleviate pain.
Each treatment lasts about 30 minutes.
