Osteopathy is a natural manual therapy which seeks to overcome the wide range
of problems resulting from disturbances of the body's framework and moving
parts. Essentially Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged tissues
such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. When the body is balanced and
efficient, just like a well tuned engine, it will function with the minimum of
wear and tear, leaving more energy for living.
Your Initial Consultation
The key to successful treatment lies in careful and accurate diagnosis along with the
skilful application of Osteopathic technique to treat the underlying cause of a
condition. When you visit the Osteopath for the first time, a full medical history
to enable a full diagnosis
will be taken, an examination performed and treatment given. The musculoskeletal assessment will be considered alongside lifestyle factors
and suitable treatment plan to be determined. A complete explanation is given, along
with advice, including exercise, diet and lifestyle changes, to all patients, to prevent
a recurrence of their trouble. If other treatment is indicated, referral to an
appropriate specialist is discussed.
