About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a discrete medical speciality, which concentrates on the diagnosis and treatment of compromised body mechanics, function and posture.

A detailed knowledge and understanding of the structure and function of the human musculo-skeletal system enables the osteopath to identify faults which occur because of injury or mechanical stress and to treat not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of the problem. This allows the body to repair itself and thereby enhance performance.

The practice of osteopathy includes skilled and specific soft tissue and joint manipulation and release techniques, which provide the osteopath with the ideal tools for effective treatment of any musculo-skeletal dysfunction and a system of diagnosis which combines orthodox diagnostic procedures with a highly developed sense of palpation. This is the basis on which the osteopath is able to establish the signs and patterns of dysfunction in an integrated and holistic approach to human movement.
