What is Osteopathy?

Osteopaths treat pain in the body. We utilise a combination of hands on techniques, exercise rehabilitation and patient education to help resolve your problem.

Osteopaths recognise the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions, aiming to treat the root cause of a problem. With a vast knowledge of how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function together as a holistic unit we aim to restore reduce pain and improve movement using a variety of hands on techniques. 

Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and manage musculoskeletal problems and provide exercise and rehabilitation plans. This means as part of treatment you may receive exercise and stretch prescription, postural advice, lifestyle modifications and any further referrals/investigations required as part of your treatment plan.
