WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathy is a manual therapy which provides a distinct approach to healthcare.
Osteopaths are trained to recognize and treat many causes of pain:
we use our hands to discover the underlying causes of pain
and carry out treatment using a variety of techniques.
 

The aim of osteopathy is to correct problems in the body frame,
making it easier for the body to function normally and reduce
the chance of problems recurring in the future.
In seeking to maintain good health prevent future problems;
the osteopath’s plan may include advice on posture, exercises, diet and lifestyle.


Although osteopathy is perhaps best known for treatment of low back pain,
in actual fact it is effective in very wide range of conditions.
The emphasis is however, less on the symptoms than on the patient as an individual.
Problems as diverse as irritable bowel, to headaches and migraines,
to asthma and glue ear all respond well to osteopathy.
