But ‘What is Osteopathy?’ Osteopathic treatment is gentle, non-invasive hands on treatment. Most people associate osteopathy with ‘backs’ but osteopathy works on all muscles and joints. An osteopath considers the body as a whole unit that is made of tightly integrated parts that can have an influence on each other. Through our examinations we explore not only the reasons there is pain or symptoms, but also the cause of these issues and how we may help influence them. Once at this stage we will discuss our thoughts and with your input format the best possible treatment for you. Treatment is mainly hands-on and may incorporate any of the following; massage, mobilisation of the joints (moving them through a range of movement), manipulation (clicking of the joints), cranial osteopathy (a gentle treatment mainly aimed at babies and children), medical acupuncture, tapping techniques or exercise and postural advice.
