Body
Structural Osteopathy
Osteopaths are trained as Primary Healthcare Practitioners and are an integral part of rehabilitative care. As the first Complimentary medicine to obtain government recognition, osteopaths are governed and regulated by the General Osteopathic Council.
Osteopathy is the diagnosis and treatment of the body which encompasses all muscles, ligaments and joints. Our extensive training in both anatomy and physiology allow the whole body to be addressed thus promoting better function throughout. As osteopaths are trained to treat holistically, the site of pain is considered in context to the individual.
Our osteopath will primarily take a detailed case history, including past history as well as what brought you to that point. By taking into account individual factors, this allows for a holistic and comprehensive view of your health. Our osteopath will then follow with an examination and carry on with treatment if appropriate. Treatment may involve gentle articulation movements, soft tissue manipulation and/or gentle cranial osteopathic techniques. Patients may then be given further advice on posture, prevention and excercises. All techniques are chosen for each patients individual needs, allowing for the most effective treatment for that individual.
