What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an established, well accepted form of physical therapy. It focuses on the musculoskeletal system (muscles, joints, ligaments etc.) and the way in which this interrelates with the body as a whole.

Trauma to any part of this system, be it from injury, disease, developmental or occupational reasons, will lead to a disruption of normal function of that part.

This can have knock-on effects. With this knowledge, your osteopath will use a variety of techniques to restore normality to the damaged region. This produces the best "environment" for the natural repair process to occur and thus reduce pain and disability.
