Osteopathy
WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy is an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. It is distinctive in the fact that it recognises much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage inflicted by disease.
THE BENEFITS OF OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a safe, natural approach that is based on providing treatment that is individually tailored for each patient. The osteopath will look at how your whole body functions and so be able to reduce strain on the painful area caused by mechanical problems elsewhere.
Osteopaths help to reduce tissue inflammation by a number of methods ranging from massage of muscles and connective tissues to manipulation and mobilisation of joints. This helps to reduce muscle spasm and increase mobility, helping to create a healthier state in which damaged tissue can heal.
The ‘whole body’ considerations that are central to osteopathy mean that not only is it very effective for those with problems such as low back pain, sciatica, arthritis and road traffic accident injuries but also sports injuries, headaches, pregnancy, newborn and work-related injuries i.e. RSI.
WHO DOES IT BENEFIT?
Osteopathy can help a large number of the population and has been found to be particularly successful in the treatment of the elderly, children, expectant mothers and sports related injuries.
TREATMENT
Osteopaths use their hands both to investigate and treat the causes of pain. This is done using a variety of manipulative techniques. They may include muscle and connective tissue stretching, rhythmic joint mobilisation and high velocity thrusts to improve joint motion.
WHAT IS CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY?
Cranial osteopathy is a very gentle, yet extremely powerful, system of osteopathy which uses the patients ‘cranial rhythm’ for evaluation and treatment. Cranial rhythm is a cyclical expansion and contraction of all the tissues of the body, which is distinct from all other known body rhythms (e.g. heartbeat) and can be felt in all parts of the body.
Using very gentle, light touch the cranial rhythm is assessed for what stresses and strains your body is under at present and as a result of its past. It also shows what state your body is in, if it’s healthy, stressed, or tired etc.
WHAT CAN CRANIAL HELP?
It can help a wide variety of conditions and ages, with particular benefits to infants and children:
Colic and other digestive problems, sleeplessness, crying/upset/whining babies, learning difficulties, persistent coughs and colds, glue ear, hyperactivity etc.
For adults:
Back and neck pain, headaches, digestive problems, sinuses, stress, sleep disorders etc.
