WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy is a holistic approach towards treating the person as a whole and understanding the issues you may suffer from; typically pain and reduced movement. Following a thorough case history, observation and palpation, the osteopath identifies the issue and by working with the whole body system incorporating muscles, bones, vessels, nerves etc, promotes your body's natural tendency for healing and improved health.
Osteopathy looks at the relationship between your body, including any structural issues, your posture as well as other aspects of your life, such as your work, exercise, sleep and how all these elements function together. Osteopaths treat and advise to reduce pain and find ease in your everyday life.
