Osteopathy is a healthcare profession that utilises a patient focused, physical approach to restoring, maintaining and promoting physical and psychosocial well being. As a form of manual therapy it uses hands on massage and gentle movements to ease many kinds of pain, restore movement, and reduce inflammation. 

​

Osteopaths are perhaps best known for resolving back problems, but we also treat damaged muscles ligaments and joints. Old as well as new injuries can be treated but in developing a treatment plan we treat the whole body and not just the injury. The founding principle of Osteopathic treatment is to find the root of your problem as this provides the greatest success in resolving chronic or recurring problems. 

 

Degenerative problems such as arthritis cannot be cured by osteopathic treatment but osteopathy can be very beneficial in managing symptoms, relief of pain and increased movement.
