Throughout life a gradual build-up of tensions or sudden trauma can contribute to a breakdown in our posture and thus affect our ability to function normally.  This may result in symptoms of backache, joint or muscular pain, ‘trapped nerves’, headaches, tiredness, to name but a few.

Osteopathy is an established and recognised therapeutic approach which deals with these conditions.  We apply the method of body work which is a form of soft tissue and joint articulation and mobilisation.  Through these and other osteopathic techniques, joints are mobilised, muscle tension relieved, with blood and nerve supply to tissues enhanced. Also the body’s own healing mechanisms are facilitated and its capacity for compensation improved.

Other modalities commonly used by an Osteopath in conjunction with body work are exercise, nutrition, electro-therapy and hydrotherapy.

An Osteopath deals with the cause of the problem as well as treating the symptoms.  We also aim to educate the individual about their own body and help them to prevent further recurrence of their condition.
