What Is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a form of hands-on therapy where the osteopath uses gentle, skilled techniques to assess and treat dysfunctions in:

• Muscles

• Joints

• Ligaments

• Fascia (connective tissue)

• Nervous and circulatory systems

Rather than relying on machines or medication, manual osteopathy works with the body to improve mobility, circulation, posture, and nervous system balance.

Conditions Treated with Osteopathy

Osteopathy is suitable for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including:

• Back pain & slipped disc

• Neck pain & stiff shoulders

• Sciatica & nerve-related pain

• Headaches & migraines

• Sports injuries

• Postural imbalance

• Joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle)

• Chronic muscle tightness

• Work-from-home or desk-related pain

• Recovery after injury or surgery (non-invasive support)

How Osteopathy Works

Our osteopaths take a whole-body approach, understanding how different systems are connected.

During treatment, we may use:

• Soft tissue techniques

• Joint mobilisation

• Myofascial release

• Stretching and articulation

• Gentle manipulation (where appropriate)

• Postural and movement assessment

Each session is personalised based on your condition, lifestyle, and recovery goals.
