Osteopathy is a complementary healthcare therapy, which can access without a referral. As osteopaths we are trained to diagnoses and identify appropriate treatment. This approach is suitable for the majority of people from birth and throughout every stage of life.
Osteopathy is primarily a manual therapy, using hands on techniques, to restore your body to a state of health. The aim is to reinstate soft tissue balance, increase blood supply to the tissues and ultimately aid in your body’s own recovery.
The purpose of treatment is to regain function, alleviate pain and enable you to return to whatever activities are important to you. When treating a patient, we consider the person as a whole to deliver an appropriate, bespoke therapy. Osteopaths treat people rather than specific conditions, not only treating the symptoms but also the overall cause of the dysfunction.
