About Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and treatment recognised by the British Medical Association as a 'discrete clinical discipline'. It places special emphasis on structural and mechanical problems of the body and seeks to overcome a wide range of conditions, disabilities and pains, that result from disturbances of the body's framework and moving parts.
Osteopaths work with their hands, and treatment often consists of soft tissue massage, gentle passive mobilisation techniques and specific joint manipulation. Exercises are often given to help with maintaining mobility and strengthening weakened muscle groups.
An osteopath treats faults that occur in the mechanical system due to injury, stress or any other cause, to help the body function as efficiently as possible.
Osteopaths work in conjunction with other health care professionals including the individual's GP to ensure they are getting the most appropriate care for their problem. All information is treated as confidential and an individual's GP is only contacted where prior permission is given.
