Osteopathy
Osteopathy uses hands on techniques to relieve pain and improve your mobility. Osteopaths restore your body to health by focusing on releasing tension, stretching muscles, and mobilising joints to get you better.
Many patients visit us after years of being immobile and in pain. Many have tried several other treatment methods. With the approach to diagnosis and treatment that we follow, many of these patients finally find success and can lead the life they want to, pain-free.
The osteopathic profession is a highly regulated medical profession, and the General Osteopathic Council helps safeguard our professional standards of clinical practice. Osteopaths undergo rigorous training and examinations and study for a minimum of 4 years full time to attain their degrees.
Osteopaths are identified by the NHS, as Primary Healthcare Workers and Allied Health Professionals. In doing so we support the government’s healthcare provision in this country.
We specialise in treating the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. Osteopaths are skilled at determining why health problems arise. They consider the whole body and the effects that various stresses, traumas, and injuries have had on you throughout your life. Moreover, they evaluate how these may contribute to the problems you present with. Osteopaths use a range of techniques to treat you. They can treat all ages of patients, from babies to the elderly.
Osteopaths have a hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment. They can address the structural and mechanical dysfunctions of the body that result in problems arising. Osteopaths use their clinical knowledge together with their highly developed sense of touch, to diagnose and treat to relieve pain and discomfort as well as improve your mobility. They use their osteopathic healthcare knowledge to give advice, prescribe lifestyle changes you can make to help make a speedy recovery and restore your health. They will recommend exercises, dietary changes and help you in your understanding of the cause of your problem, to prevent these problems from reoccurring in the future.
No patient is excluded from having osteopathic treatment at our clinic. We use many different techniques that enable us to provide excellent results for all of you. We may use more gentle techniques on certain problems, conditions, and patients, or more stronger techniques on patients who require this approach. We are trained to use the most appropriate, specific techniques required to provide the most effective and safe treatment and get you better fast. We treat patients with complex pathologies, as well as the ones with a simple low back strain.
In some cases, we may use more specialised gentle techniques to help resolve your problem. Using our highly trained sense of touch, we can read tension and strain patterns that are present in your body and help guide and support your body back to health. Using these techniques, treatment can be very gentle but very effective and assists the body in returning to a healthy functioning state as well as relieving symptoms.
