Osteopathy

Osteopathy uses manual therapy as a system of diagnosis and treatment that aims to restore the balance of muscles, ligaments and joints in order to reduce or alleviate pain. Structural osteopathy uses hands on techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching, mobilisation of joints, muscle energy techniques and manipulation to treat a wide range of conditions. Osteopaths can also give advice on posture and home exercises to aid recovery and prevent re-occurring injuries or symptoms. Osteopathy can help people of all ages; the treatment is always tailored to the individual and their presenting symptoms.

Osteopathy can help treat the symptoms of various conditions such as:

-Arthritic Pain

-Generalised aches and pains

-Frozen Shoulder

-Headaches arising from the neck (cervicogenic)

-Minor Sports Injuries

-Muscle Spasms

-Neuralgia

-Sciatica

All osteopaths must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council in order to work in the UK and hold up to date professional indemnity insurance.
