Osteopathy takes a deeper, holistic and tailored approach towards the body and posture, whilst integrating the links between lifestyle, environment, health and well-being. It involves the evaluation, diagnosis and management of the entire musculoskeletal system, its relationship with other systems in the body, and the effects these conditions have on general health and lifestyle.
Osteopaths, work closely with other healthcare professionals and their treatments often involve manual therapy – a range of gentle hands-on techniques focusing on releasing tension, stretching muscles and improving mobility – together with exercises and helpful advice designed to help relieve or manage pain, keep active and maintain the best of health.
