OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathy is now considered a mainstream approach to rehabilitative care. As the first Complimentary medicine to obtain government recognition, osteopaths are governed and regulated by the General Osteopathic Council.

Osteopathy is the diagnosis and treatment of the body which encompasses all muscles, ligaments and joints. Patients are looked upon as individuals with their own unique requirements. Osteopaths do not simply treat pain but rather they address the cause of the disturbed state of natural health thereby allowing the whole body to be addressed thus promoting better function throughout.

What conditions can Osteopathy treat?

Osteopaths treat the whole person, not just the condition. A wide range of conditions can be treated. For more information please contact Natasha on 07530 914471.

What will happen when I go to visit an osteopath?

The first consultation can last up to 60 minutes. The osteopath will primarily take a detailed case history, including past history as well as what brought you to that point. By taking into account individual factors, this allows for a holistic and comprehensive view of your health.

The osteopath will then carry out an examination of the body and carry on with treatment if appropriate.

Treatment is designed to correct each individual's strain patterns and mechanical problems in order to stimulate their own natural healing processes. Treatment may involve gentle articulation movements, soft tissue manipulation and/or gentle cranial osteopathic techniques. All techniques are chosen for each patients individual needs, allowing for the most effective treatment for that individual.
