A Holistic Approach to Health

Osteopathy provides one of the best and most effective treatment options for so many of today’s health problems. Osteopaths works with their hands on the human body to improve the body's self-healing mechanisms, naturally increasing vitality, healing and providing the pain relief to your condition without the use of medications.

​

Osteopathy in the UK is tightly regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), and osteopaths must comply with the strict code of conduct. It is illegal to use the title of ‘osteopath’ unless registered with the GOsC. This means patients have the same protection as that given by doctors and dentists.

​

Osteopaths take a holistic approach to ensure the musculoskeletal framework is physically comfortable and balanced as they believe that your whole-body work best when in good structural balance.

​

Treatment include soft tissue massage, stretches, joint mobilisations and specific manipulations. These combined techniques are applied with consideration to your body and will feel soothing to the painful area. Osteopaths have a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology and a highly developed sense of touch which we use to detect and release areas of tension or structural imbalance.

​

It is the Osteopath's aim to stop a problem or injury from recurring by taking away those reasons that allowed it to occur in the first place. As such osteopathy is very effective at resolving aches, pains and injuries, because it looks at the root of a problem.
