Osteopathy is a treatment which works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being of the individual depends on the skeleton, muscles and connective tissues functioning smoothly together. If you have suffered an injury, such as a fall, a strain or whiplash, osteopathy can help improve the mobility of your joints through gentle touch, massage and manipulation to help your body’s natural healing instincts.
Osteopathy has been proven to be effective in treating the following conditions:
In the first consultation, a full medical history will be taken where you will have the chance to talk about your current condition. There will then be a physical examination.
The osteopath will then be able to inform you of what the problem is and how long it might take to correct it. The treatment will involve a combination of techniques to ease muscle tension. Some are similar to massage; others are so subtle you may not even feel them initially. The effects will be felt soon after treatment.
