Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body has the ability to heal itself when it is in proper alignment. The therapy aims to restore balance to the body, improve mobility, and enhance circulation to promote healing. Unlike conventional medical treatments that often rely on medications or surgery, osteopathy uses hands-on techniques, such as:
Targeting the root causes of pain by addressing muscle imbalances, posture, and spinal alignment.
Releasing tension and stress in the neck and upper back, improving posture and mobility.
Reducing discomfort in areas like knees, hips, and shoulders through targeted manipulation and mobilization techniques.
Accelerating recovery and reducing pain from common sports-related injuries like sprains, strains, and muscle tears.
Alleviating headaches caused by tension, posture issues, or neck-related problems.
Osteopathy can support digestion by improving blood flow and reducing muscular tension around the abdominal area.
Correcting posture-related issues that can lead to chronic pain and discomfort.
Osteopathy can also be beneficial for pregnant women, helping alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort and supporting postnatal recovery.
During your first osteopathy session, the osteopath will take a full medical history, including information about your lifestyle, diet, and any past injuries. They will then perform a physical examination, which may include asking you to perform certain movements to assess your posture and mobility. Treatment sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, during which the osteopath will use a variety of hands-on techniques to manipulate and massage the affected areas. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, focusing on areas of the body that need alignment, tension release, or increased mobility.
