Therapy in Focus – Osteopathy
Osteopathy - For improved skeletal health
Osteopathy is a non-invasive manual therapy, which helps to maintain overall health and wellbeing by focusing on skeletal and soft tissue integrity. By maintaining good skeletal alignment throughout, Osteopathy optimises the function and repair of muscles, nerves, connective tissues and therefore systems within the body.
How Can Osteopathy Help?
Osteopathy can help with a number of issues. It can help to:
- manage tension, tightness, pain and discomfort
- improve alignment, posture, function, strength, flexibility and comfort
- prevent the recurrence of acute injuries and to stabilise and manage chronic conditions
Numerous conditions can be diagnosed and treated by viewing the body as a whole; identifying and isolating the cause from the symptoms.
- Muscle and joint aches and pains
- RSI
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Headaches/Migraines
- Osteoarthritis
- Back pain
- Some sports injuries
What does treatment involve?
Prior to treatment, your Osteopath will discuss your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, as well as assessing your current flexibility and movement, and of course, your health and wellbeing objectives.
Treatment work will involve a combination of:
- Soft tissue work – stretching and massage
- Skeletal work – articulation - manipulation and realignment of joints
to correct and restore your body’s skeletal health, function and capability.
Aftercare advice is given to maximise treatment results. You will receive advice on stretches, exercises and low-level self-care, such as hot/cold packs, joint supports, foam rolling and more.
