What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a safe hands-on manual therapy that focuses on the body’s function and health based on the principle that an individual’s wellbeing is reliant on the body’s tissues functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths use a variety of techniques including manipulation, targeted massage and stretching to address pain, improve mobility and promote healing. Osteopathy aims to help patients respond and adapt to changing circumstances, manage injury and disease and maintain their own health. Osteopathy can be used to treat a range of conditions including back and neck pain, headaches, joint and muscle problems and more. It can also help with stress relief and relaxation improving overall well-being. If you are looking for a safe and effective approach to manage your pain and improve your overall health, consider giving osteopathy a try. 

 

In the UK osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession with statutory recognition, and is one of the fourteen allied health professions recognised by the NHS.
