Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that uses gentle, hands-on treatment to restore movement and balance in the body's structure.
Osteopathy employs a holistic (whole body) approach to treatment. It is non-invasive, drug-free alternative to help patients restore the circulatory, nervous and lymphatic system function, find relief from pain, achieve balance in the body, and improve the overall health
Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages and activity levels. Specific conditions that Osteopathy has bee shown to be of benefit include chronic pain, muscle spasms, sports-related injuries, migraines, circulatory problems, indigestion, prenatal and postnatal conditions, hypertension, respiratory issues, fibromyalgia, colic in newborns, and many more.
At your first consultation, a complete health history will be taken and the reason for your visit discussed. An assessment and observation of posture and movement will be done to assess the balance, structure and stability of the body. Orthopedic tests may also be done to identify joint restrictions as well as soft tissue palpation to assess fascial and organ mobility. A short assessment occurs at the beginning of subsequent treatments to identify areas which still need to be addressed.
