Osteopathy is a gentle and effective hands-on approach to healthcare which places emphasis on the musculoskeletal system. It is based on the principle that the way your body moves influences how it functions. Osteopaths are highly competent healthcare professionals, recognised by the NHS as fully qualified to diagnose and treat independently. They are skilled in assessing the mechanics of the whole body, in particular the spine.
By using a combination of hands-on techniques such as joint manipulation, stretching, and soft tissue massage, osteopathy helps to improve mobility, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being. Rather than just addressing symptoms, osteopaths aim to identify and treat the root causes of discomfort, promoting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages and can help with a wide range of issues, including back pain, sports injuries, postural imbalances, and stress-related tension. It also plays a preventative role, helping you maintain long-term health and vitality.
