What is Osteopathy: Osteopath is a “whole “ body approach to muscular/skeletal injury. By approaching, assessing and treating the body as an integral whole, Osteopathy aims to effectively diagnose and treat both the site of injury and other areas of the body that may be causing or contributing to an injury. The emphasis of treatment is therefore not just about cure but also prevention. Osteopathy aims to restore the body’s functioning parts to a healthy state of balance. Why choose Osteopathy: Osteopathy can benefit most individuals with muscular/skeletal injuries. It is particularly useful at making a whole body assessment, which is important in determining the causation of an injury. Treatment can therefore be directed to all parts of the body. This is important in complicated injuries, long term/chronic injuries or even as injury prevention.
