About Osteopathy:

Osteopathy is a therapeutic treatment which works with the body’s structure and how it performs its function. It aims to restore balance within our structure such that our function is optimized, enabling us to reach our full potential. Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, and is based on our musculo-skeletal system, which includes bones, ligaments, muscles and connective tissues, functioning smoothly. A body, whether it be human or animal, is better able to cope with the challenges of daily life if it is working to its full potential.

Many musculo-skeletal issues are often the result of long term imbalance and therefore may not be resolved quickly and they may well involve a change in how a person uses their body. Patience is the key and with osteopathic treatment combined with lifestyle/postural changes alongside targeted exercises there should be a marked improvement in symptoms within 3-4 sessions. Treatment will help to alleviate the pain associated with the issue fairly quickly and then by identifying the underlying factors contributing to the problem we aim to minimize the chances of a recurrence.
