Active Health Professionals - Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine that uses a variety of techniques to treat musculoskeletal problems and aid movement throughout the body.
Osteopathic medicine is regulated by the government.
Osteopaths recognise that the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a unit.
What conditions can Osteopaths treat?
- Back and neck pain
- Sciatica
- Headaches
- Pains in peripheral joints such as shoulders, knees, ankles
- Work related injuries
- Sports injuries
- Asthma
- Period pains
- Irritable bowel pain
- Pregnancy associated pains
- Arthritis
- Disc injuries
- Growing pains
- Unsettled infants
Osteopathic techniques may include soft tissue massage, stretching, muscle energy, neuromuscular, high velocity thrusts (whereby audible click can sometimes be heard), articulations and some more indirect techniques which entail an extremely gentle approach.
Osteopathy is a holistic form of medicine; therefore many aspects of your life will be explored as treatment progresses in order to gain better insight as to how injury came about and how future injuries can be prevented. You may be asked questions about your diet, lifestyle, occupation, children, exercises, hobbies and so forth. Prevention of recurrence is therefore fundamental within a treatment plan. For example, you may require an ergonomic assessment, advice on lifting or alterations made to your exercise regime.

What people are saying
"When I came to Active Health Professionals, I had just been diagnosed with disc lesions in my neck. I was virtually incapacitated to work (being in front of a computer was agony) and couldn't dance any more (my favourite hobby). I was treated by an osteopath called Scott. He was fabulous. He could see exactly was wrong with me and his manipulation technique was extremely confident and spot on. I could go back to work and dancing after 2 treatments."
