What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. When the body is balanced and efficient it will function with the minimum of wear and tear, leaving more energy for living.
Structural Osteopathy
The neuro-musculo-skeletal system is the largest system in the body, constructed of muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and neurological parts that co-ordinate the whole system. This system is what enables us to express our thoughts and emotions. The cardiovascular, digestive, circulatory and neurological systems enable optimal function and coordination for the movement and operation of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Correct mechanical functioning of this system is therefore essential.
Osteopathy ensures harmony and balance to minimise wear and tear on this system. It is particularly concerned with the relation between structure and function. Osteopaths use a wide variety of approaches to treatment and can bring relief or improvement to many conditions affecting, for example, the elderly, children, sportsmen and women; and to problems that arise during or after pregnancy.
