Is Osteopathy for me?

Osteopathy takes an individually tailored and holistic approach to health. 

Your osteopath will always take the time to understand not only your unique physiology but also your individual life history to create the best treatment plan, which is tailored to your needs. They will also be able to tell you if you need to see another health professional such as your doctor or midwife.

Osteopaths who are part of the Allied Health Professionals are highly trained in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of the entire musculoskeletal system and its relationship with other systems in the body.

Treatment includes not just manual therapy but also rehabilitative exercises and general health advice. 

  • Osteopathic treatment helps patients of all ages to aid the recovery from various acute as well as chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Your osteopath will take the time to help you keep healthy and mobile, utilising a range of expert hands-on treatment techniques including joint mobilisation, stretching, and muscles release, as well as health information, self-management advice, and exercise therapy determined by your individual needs.

  • Cranial osteopathy is a gentle treatment suitable for children and babies. The skeletons of our youngest patients are softer than adults`, therefore this non-manipulative and safe technique may be used to soothe and relax babies at all stages of development, which may be suffering from e.g. digestive issues (colic, trapped wind), sleep difficulties, body tension, and head-shape asymmetry. 
Osteopaths also sometimes work alongside lactation consultants to give postural advice related to breastfeeding.

  • Pregnancy is a unique event for a mother`s body. Enormous physical, chemical, and emotional changes take place over a relatively short period of time. Physical changes such as softening of the ligaments, weight gain, and changes to posture, can lead to additional pressure on joints all around the body, including the spine or pelvis. Therefore, osteopathic treatment can be beneficial during this important time by helping in easing some of the stresses and strains on your body during pregnancy, preparing your body for the demands of labor, and helping with after-birth recovery.

  • Western Medical Acupuncture also known as Dry Needling is a treatment technique that can be used to treat myofascial trigger points in addition to the other osteopathic techniques. It aims to relax tensed muscles and encourage blood flow to the affected area, which aids in the repair of injured tissue, soothes discomfort, and reduces muscle stiffness.

  • Osteopathic Massage is a powerful combination of holistic osteopathic mobilisations and sport/ deep tissue massage. The perfect option for patients who normally don’t respond to standard soft tissue work. Osteopathic Massage helps to create long-lasting results for patients suffering from e.g. chronic muscular tension by addressing the real cause of their hypertonicity, not just its symptoms.
