Osteopathy: Services

What is osteopathy ?

Osteopathy is a form of hands on therapy that is used to diagnose, treat and prevent problems with an individual's musculoskeletal system. If joints, ligaments or muscles are not functioning correctly, pain can be the result.

Osteopaths use a range of techniques that are tailored to you as an individual depending on your age and level of fitness. These include joint manipulations (the "pops & clicks"), soft tissue massage, stretching and cranial techniques (also known as cranial osteopathy). Osteopaths also give advice on exercise and lifestyle issues as part of your treatment management plan.
