Osteopathy
What is Osteopathy?
Manual Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the interrelationship between the body's structure and function. Osteopathic practitioners focus on the body's ability to heal itself, using their hands to diagnose, treat and prevent conditions. By applying osteopathic principles osteopaths aim to improve the function of joints, muscles and tissues while supporting the overall balance and well-being of the body. Manual Osteopathy works to identify and address imbalances, not just treat the symptoms, but to improve the body's overall health and restore normal functions across its systems.

Common FAQ
Is osteopathy the same as chiropractic care or physiotherapy?
Osteopathy focuses on treating the entire body, emphasizing the interrelationship between the muscles, bones, and organs. Osteopaths use a variety of manual techniques, such as stretching, massage, and joint manipulation, to restore balance and function.
Does osteopathy hurt?
Osteopathy treatment is a non-invasive treatment. It should not be painful, but some people may experience mild discomfort or soreness during or after a treatment, especially if the muscles or joints being treated are tense, inflamed, or stiff. This discomfort is usually temporary and should subside within a day or two.
