What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body's skeleton and joint function along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs.

We can help with:
  • Lower back pain
  • Recurring headaches
  • Painful joints
  • Arthritic pain
  • Postural problems
  • Sports injuries
  • Migraine
  • Sleeplessness
and many other problems.

Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. Using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an osteopath works with the body to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.

Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques, and some specific adjustments affecting joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). Advice can also be given on self-help treatments.

At The Osteopathic Consultancy, we also use ultrasound, acupuncture, electrotherapy and exercise. All of these methods are underpinned by a four year medical degree and extensive professional practice.
