Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment that overcomes pain and immobility. The osteopath looks at posture and body alignment, which affects how the body functions as a whole. Mechanical problems or lack of mobility in one area of the body often produce tension and pain in other areas.

The osteopath uses gentle, manual techniques on the body to ease pain, reduce swelling, alleviate muscle spasm, and improve joint mobility. The osteopath also diagnoses in a similar way to orthopaedic specialists, and uses specific osteopathic techniques to determine the true source of the client’s condition.
