Osteopaths work with patients of all ages with many and varied musculoskeletal conditions.
Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine that aims to restore the body to its optimal health. They focus on the neuro-musculoskeletal system, which comprises bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues that support the human body and control its movements.
Osteopaths provide musculoskeletal and nervous system assessments to form their diagnosis to formulate the most appropriate evidence informed strategy and service. They use various forms of manual therapy including massage, joint mobilisation, manipulation and stretching to assist with mobility and pain reduction and can also in addition to this provide clinical exercise programs, movement, postural, positioning advice and ergonomic assessments. They may also offer therapeutic needling techniques, such as dry needling, trigger point therapy or acupuncture.
Osteopathy can help alleviate chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches by identifying and addressing the underlying structural imbalances that contribute to pain.
This allows the therapist to identify any areas of strain or imbalance and develop a targeted treatment plan that addresses the root cause of the patient’s symptoms, improving function, alleviating pain, and enhancing overall health and well-being.
Osteopathy improves mobility by manipulating bones, muscles and connective tissues to release tension and align the body, leading to better flexibility and ease of movement.
