Osteopathy is not just about bones and backs, it treats the muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints of the musculoskeletal system from top to toe to help the body maintain and restore health.
Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. It is a hands-on, drug-free, non-surgical approach to healthcare.
Osteopathy is distinctive in that it recognises much of the pain and disability we suffer may stem from abnormalities in the structure and function of the body as well as damage caused to it by disease.
Osteopathy not only treats the painful area, but always addresses the parts of the body that may have caused the symptoms.
Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis. Its main strength, however, lies in the unique way that you as a patient are assessed from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint and in the manual methods of our treatment are applied to suit you as an individual.
