OSTEOPATHY TREATS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, INCLUDING SPORTS PEOPLE, THE ELDERLY, PREGNANT WOMEN, BABIES AND CHILDREN.

Your initial consultation will allow you plenty of time to tell the osteopath about your problem, followed by a comprehensive examination to determine the best solution. The osteopath will explain in detail what has gone wrong and the treatment that is required.

If treatment other than osteopathy is required you will be referred to the most appropriate source of help.

For the osteopath to examine you properly it will be necessary to remove some items of clothing. This usually means to your underwear.

These will be arranged, as far as possible, to fit in around your schedule. Your progress will be monitored carefully and you will be discharged as soon as you make a satisfactory recovery.

An Introduction to Osteopathy

Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and treatments that focuses on prevention and rehabilitation primarily on the structural and functional integrity of the body. Using many of the diagnostic procedures applied in conventional medical assessment the osteopath aims to restore the body’s natural balance and aid its intrinsic ability to heal through a variety of highly skilled techniques not only to relieve pain, but to remove the cause of it.

Following a detailed case history and examination, treatment is focused on helping to restore harmony throughout the body. This may include muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmic joint movements or high velocity thrust technique to improve the range of motion at a joint and encourage blood supply to the joint to aid regeneration. Very gentle releasing techniques are used when treating children or elderly patients.

Treatment is tailored to suit each individual patient reinforced by guidance on diet and exercise.
