What is Osteopathy

An osteopath aims to restore the normal function and stability of the joints, muscles and/or bones in your body to help heal itself

​

Osteopathy is an allied health profession that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and their effects on the overall health of the body. Osteopathic treatment takes a holistic approach, considering the body as a whole and the interrelationship between the body's structure and function.

​

Osteopaths understand that the body has the ability to heal itself and that the structure and function of the body are closely interconnected. They use a variety of manual techniques, such as manipulation, stretching, and massage, to address imbalances or dysfunctions in the musculoskeletal system. Osteopaths aim to promote healing, relieve pain, and improve overall health and the ability to do the activities important to you.

​

In addition to manual techniques, osteopaths may also provide lifestyle advice, exercise recommendations, and suggestions for improving posture and ergonomics. 

​

It's important to note that the practice of osteopathy may vary between different Osteopaths.
