OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathy is a system of manual therapy that uses hands-on techniques to assess, diagnose and treat the entire musculo-skeletal system.

Osteopaths examine more than just the site of pain or discomfort, they also assess surrounding and related body parts, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan for every individual.

Osteopaths aim to improve the quality and range of movement of the body, which in turn will affect the muscular, circulatory and neurological body components which all help to maintain optimal health.

Osteopaths identify factors that cause and continue to aggravate your condition. This may include work, sport and lifestyle habits.
