What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an established and recognised system of diagnosis and treatment which lays its emphasis on the mechanical structure of the body.

Osteopaths examine the structure and function of the body and how parts of the body (bones, joints, ligaments, discs, muscles, tendons and nerves) work together. A breakdown of the body's normal working patterns can result in unnecessary stress and pain but an osteopath can encourage the body to repair itself by using safe, natural, manual methods of treatment.

Osteopathic treatment is aimed at helping the body to function better in all aspects. Patients often report improvements in general well-being, sleep patterns, energy levels as well as other minor symptoms other than those that brought them to the osteopath in the first place.
