Overview
Osteopathy recognizes the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body’s skeleton and joint function, along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs. Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. Utilizing a highly developed sense of touch they identify problem areas of the body.
Osteopathic treatment varies depending on the person and the diagnosis. It works by the use of stretching, mobilizing techniques as well as manipulating joints to create optimal condition within the body to facilitate the self healing process.
Normally between 2 and 6 treatments are required. Many patients decide they would like to have periodic preventative treatments to avoid recurring problems.
The treatment
When you visit us for the first time a full case history, including a medical history will be taken. You will then be asked to remove some of your outer clothing (down to your underwear) if necessary and to perform a simple series of movements. This enables us to make an assessment of the problem and begin to understand any possible causes. You will then receive a treatment consisting of soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization and if necessary manipulation. We will explain exactly what we are doing and why. You will be actively encouraged to ask as many questions as you want.
