What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a gentle hands-on approach used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions; aiming to restore and maintain both physical and psychosocial health.
Osteopathy is a holistic and hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the body as a whole to promote health and well-being. Founded on the principle that the body has the innate ability to heal itself, osteopathy emphasizes the interrelationship between the body's structure and function.
The key principles of osteopathy:
The body is a unit: Osteopathy views the body as a unified and interconnected system, where each part influences the function of the whole. By addressing imbalances or dysfunctions in one area, osteopaths aim to restore harmony and optimal function throughout the body.
Structure and Function: Osteopathy recognizes the intimate relationship between the body's structure (bones, muscles, joints, and connective tissues) and its function (movement, circulation, and the nervous system). Osteopaths use their hands to assess and manipulate these structures to enhance the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Self-Healing Mechanism: Our osteopaths believe in the body's inherent ability to heal itself given the right conditions. Osteopathic treatment aims to facilitate this self-healing mechanism by removing barriers to health, improving circulation, and restoring balance within the body.
benefits of osteopathy
Pain Relief: Osteopathy aims to alleviate pain by addressing its underlying causes and restoring balance within the body.
Improved Mobility: Osteopathic treatment can help improve joint mobility, flexibility, and range of motion.
Enhanced Well-being: By promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and improving circulation, osteopathy supports overall health and vitality.
Preventive Care: Osteopathy emphasises preventive measures to maintain optimal health and prevent future injuries or illnesses.
