SERVICES
Welcome to Align Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual therapy aimed to improve the function of the whole body. Osteopaths not only treat people suffering from acute and chronic pain, but also help them maintain a healthy approach to life.
Each person is assessed as an individual and once a diagnosis has been formed, a personal treatment plan is formulated including advice for future prevention of the problem.
About Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine which incorporates the relationship between structure and function during the treatment of a wide variety of complaints. Osteopathy utilises gentle hands on techniques such as massage, manipulation and stretch.
Osteopathic practitioners are specialized in manipulative medicine, and may use the knowledge gathered by Andrew Taylor Still, MD, to work in a more classical osteopathic style.
