Osteopathy is a holistic manual therapy regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOcs). Osteopaths provide primary health care for those seeking diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of many musculoskeletal conditions. Therefore, osteopaths undergo detailed academic and practical training in order to differentiate between purely musculoskeletal dysfunction and pathologies that may need further investigation via referral.

As Osteopaths view the body as a system, practitioners aim to combine details from thorough medical history, life style and presenting symptoms, with the osteopathic principle that the body has its own innate heeling ability. With this holistic approach, we aim to not just treat the location but to seek the root cause of the symptoms and thus reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence.

Osteopathic treatment may use a variety of techniques, from joint manipulation and articulation to massage and rehabilitation exercises to help release tension and stretch particular muscle. A combination of these techniques aim to promote healthy blood and nerve supply to restore health and function where dysfunction is found.
