Osteopathic treatment is a gentle, non-invasive therapy whose main aim is to alleviate any problems associated with pain and/or any restricted movement or function in any joints, muscles, tendons of the body. This may be tension headaches, sporting injuries or work related aches and pains.

It can be beneficial in easing discomfort felt during pregnancy or post-partum. There are many documented studies which have shown Osteopathy is of prime benefit in treating back and neck pain, shoulder injuries such as frozen shoulder as well as carpal tunnel issues. Sporting injuries have also been shown to respond well. Osteopathic treatment is suitable for men and woman young and old, active or more sedentary, as well as expectant mothers and children.

During a consultation a detailed case history related to the presenting problem as well as a more wide focus on general health is taken. Following this, a physical examination is undertaken, taking your body through gentle movements which will enable the Practitioner to reach a working diagnosis of the problem causing the most discomfort and also to provide a useful picture of what else may have contributed to the discomfort.

A treatment plan is discussed and then treatment will start. This may include a variety of Osteopathic  methods, soft tissue work such as massage type movements, muscle energy techniques as well gentle joint manipulation or harmonics to restore function and movement as well as advice on exercise, movement, pain relief and future treatments.  This may involve treatment to other areas of the body in order to facilitate a good recovery and avoid recurrence.

Osteopathy is very much a joint effort between the Practitioner and the Patient in order to restore better function and movement and reduced pain.
