Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between structure and function in the human body, which leads to a focus on the body’s skeleton and joint function along with underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs. Osteopaths have a holistic approach and will look at the whole person in order to treat the cause, rather than just symptoms of pain and other conditions.

As osteopaths we use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and a variety of soft tissue techniques to increase the mobility of joints, relieve muscle tension, enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help the body’s own healing mechanisms. We work to restore the body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.

Although osteopaths treat many conditions, most people think of us as ‘back specialists’ and back pain is what we treat a lot of the time. We treat people of any age from the elderly to the newborn and from pregnant women to sports people.
