Osteopathy approaches your body from a holistic viewpoint, supporting healing by focusing on how your body systems are communicating. Using a hands-on approach, osteopaths ensure your skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue are able to work harmoniously together.
Osteopaths will use a wide variety of gentle hands-on techniques that focus on releasing tension, improving mobility and optimising function, together with providing useful health advice and exercise if required.
Osteopaths try to understand the cause of your pain instead of just treating the site of the pain itself by using a highly developed sense of touch to identify areas of tissue dysfunction and imbalance.
They also recognise that the body is a complex structure influenced by a wide range of environmental factors which can directly/indirectly place a huge stress on our human framework.
To regain optimal function, Osteopaths utilise a variety of techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint articulation and manipulation and stretching. They will also address any contributing factors that will stimulate the healing process. Treatment will always encourage the bodies inherent ability to self heal and find balances, helping your symptoms to reduce so you can remain in good health.
