What is an Osteopath?
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the interrelationship between the structure and function of the body. By focusing on the musculoskeletal system, osteopaths aim to improve overall health through manual therapy techniques. These professionals utilize their hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent various health issues, emphasizing the body's natural ability to heal itself. Osteopathy is not just about addressing back pain or joint issues; it encompasses a broader perspective on wellness, promoting optimal health and function. Through gentle manipulations and adjustments, osteopaths work to alleviate discomfort and enhance the body's mobility, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a more natural approach to health management.

Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an advanced form of manual therapy, based in anatomy and structure and involves precise palpation and assessment. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners work to identify the root cause of symptoms and conditions by removing restrictions and restoring the body’s natural balance. The body is then able to function as designed, inducing self-healing.
Osteopathy is performed through a number of manual techniques including visceral, cranio-sacral therapy and various joint techniques. All movements are gentle and stay within the body’s natural range of motion.
Osteopathy is very effective for pregnant women, babies and children. During pregnancy, Cranial Osteopathic treatment is a safe and effective way of helping the body cope with the additional physical, hormonal and emotional demands of pregnancy and labour. Treatment can help balance the hormonal system and reduce the severity of nausea, vomiting, mood swings and exhaustion and reduce in postural strain and decrease tension in the pelvic floor and diaphragm.
Osteopathy for babies can relieve tension that may have arisen during childbirth. This may include cranial, bone, respiratory and visceral tension. Cranial treatment can also prevent plagiocephaly. In children, treatment can help to correct posture problems and relieve growing pains.
