Osteopathy

What is Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosing and treating problems with the body's structural integrity.

The osteopath believes that the body's own healing mechanisms are closely related to this, and that an efficient structural system promotes long-term health and well being. At the same time any existing symptoms are reduced along with their accompanying problems.

What can Osteopathy do for me?

Although osteopathy does not claim to cure all ills, it can be extremely beneficial in supplying effective relief for a variety of compliants such as backache, headaches, arthritis and any muscular/joint strain or sprain.

Osteopathy can help in more specific areas such as:

sports related injuries, including golf and tennis elbow
whiplash
children with behavioural or developmental difficulties
pregnancy
baby's early development
