What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy involves a series of movements designed to correct disturbances in muscles,ligaments,and joints. It is also so much more than correcting musculoskeletal disturbances. Often the blood and nerve supply to the various tissues and organs of the body are obstructed. By specific movements in and around these tissues, and distant to the site of pain, osteopaths are able to release these obstructions.
As alluded to above, Osteopathy can address many different conditions as well as painful backs, shoulders and knees; for example, recurrent headaches, sinusitis and digestive disorders may all be released over a period of time. Painful joints and muscles may arise through: specific injuries, accidents, sprains and falls; or problems with posture,occupation, habits and heredity; or compensatory problems arising from elsewhere in the body; or reflex problems caused by a diseased organ of the body.
A condition that has seen an alarming increase over the years is asthma and this condition is very readily treated by the osteopath. For more information on asthma see the Symptoms page.
