Good to Know

Osteopathy has been available in the Britain since the early 1900’s. Like Chiropractic, it originated in mid-America in the late 1880’s and quickly grew an exemplary reputation for healthcare.

We hold the belief that the body is always looking to achieve balance and remain out of pain and discomfort – sometimes you just need a “nudge” in the right direction to activate your inner healing.

Osteopathy has always been a manual, Hands-On, Physical Therapy. We seek the cause to the problem with an emphasis on your musculo-skeletal structure and how it functions, which is an expression of who you are. Naturally, if we feel the problem lies elsewhere or beyond our remit we will tell you and refer you to another healthcare provider.

We will examine and come to a conclusion of what is wrong with you. If we feel Osteopathy can help you we then discuss the options to how we can help. Some the tools we use are muscle and myofascial techniques to release tight or stuck areas, joint mobilisation to free off restricted joints and promote movement and of course we manipulate (adjust) joints (“click the back or neck”) to release joint restrictions and faulty movement patterns.

We follow best practice and will arm you with knowledge of what’s wrong with you as well as send you home with some remedial exercises or stretch routines to bring you back to balance. Most patients will expect to see results within 3-4 treatments.
