Welcome!
Osteopathy is undoubtedly one of the most effective systems for treating musculo-skeletal disturbances, a fact that the general public has long recognized.
It is, however, capable of far more than simply providing symptomatic relief to sufferers of backache. Osteopathy is the art, science and philosophy of detecting and correcting interferences in the body’s natural ability to self heal.
Osteopathic Treatment rationale is based on the scientific fact that the nervous and circulatory systems control the function of the entire body, including all the cells, tissues, muscles, organs and the skeletal system.
However every day people suffer from stresses and strains which may upset this delicate balance, such as:
-
Physical - accidents/falls, poor/repetitive posture, lack of exercise.
-
Emotional - lifestyle, pressure of work/home.
-
Chemical - poor diet, drugs, alcohol, dehydration, allergens/pollutants.
These three forms of stress CAN lead to vertebral lesion or organic dysfunction potentially producing a whole range of symptomatology.
All Osteopaths are trained to locate lesions, which interfere with the nervous system, and correct them, thereby improving and optimizing patient health.
