What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment designed to provide pain relief for the body’s structural and mechanical problems. A gentle form of treatment, osteopathy can benefit most types of aches, pains and strains in people of every age.
Osteopaths spend most of their working lives dealing with chronic pain – from the legacy of the many untreated sports and work-related injuries to the arthritis of the elderly. The Osteopath’s role is to alleviate pain, to improve mobility and to make patients’ lives more comfortable. Osteopathy is a safe and natural approach to health care. The Osteopath focuses on the musculo-skeletal system; the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and soft connecting tissues, and the way in which their condition affects your body as a whole. Osteopathy identifies and treats faults, which occur because of injury, stress or perhaps disease. This helps enable the musculo-skeletal system to restore itself to normal function, relieve pain and to continue to work as efficiently as possible.A caring approach and attention to the individual is considered particularly important.
