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.
