Osteopathy

Osteopathy aims to improve body homeostasis.

Osteopathy works by correcting problems within the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. It aims to improve the efficacy and functioning of the body systems. This helps to unlock the body's self-healing mechanisms, helping your body to function normally again while reducing the chance of problems occurring in the future.

Why Try Osteopathy?

Osteopaths can diagnose, treat and prevent many conditions.

Osteopathy is a safe, gentle and effective approach using hands-on specific techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of health problems. It aims to relieve pain, discomfort and immobility.

Its emphasis is on the interrelationship of the body's structure - such as muscles, bones, joints, nerves etc - and its function - such as breathing, circulation, digestion, metabolism etc. It is widely used throughout the world and recognized as one of the most highly effective complementary therapies with a vast and expanding base of scientifically validated research.

• Back & neck pain
• Disc & joint injuries
• Nerve problems
• Headaches & migraine
• Muscle strain & spasm
• Postural & ergonomic issues
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Tendonitis & bursitis
• Exercise & sports injuries
• Arthritis
• Temporomandibular joint disorders, lock jaw, jaw pain
• Pre- and post-natal pain issues

Additional Osteopathy Treatments

Cranial Osteopathy is a gentle hands on therapy that aims to BALANCE FLUID AND MEMBRANES IN THE BODY. It is used either as a stand alone therapy or combined with manipulation. It can be used both for diagnosis of myofascial and osseous strain patterns, and for their treatment. It is both a very effective and safe treatment especially for the elderly and the young. It is thought to work via the nerve receptors of the body altering membrane and fluid hemo-dynamics.

Functional Technique is an Osteopathic technique that works via the ANS. It is used to calm over stimulated joint receptors, which is the primary cause of most intrinsic muscles dysfunction around spinal and peripheral joints. It is also a very gentle technique that allows the myofascial structure to regain a comfortable tonus and length
