Osteopathy is recognised as an effective and reliable hands-on form of treatment for a wide variety of conditions from back pain, joint and muscle pain to headaches and digestive problems. These highly skilled manual therapists assess the individual’s biomechanics, function and posture, as well as taking into consideration the individual’s unique set of symptoms, lifestyle and general health to form an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions, and recognises each person as an individual. Osteopaths use gentle stretching and mobilising techniques to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the bodies healing process. Focusing on the body's bony structure, and on the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs.
