What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathic treatment focuses on restoring movement, relieving pain, and improving musculoskeletal function. Osteopaths assess imbalances in structure, function, and posture to create personalized treatment plans.
​
Treatment involves hands-on techniques to release tight or restricted tissues. Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and manage conditions like:
​
-
Back, neck, and shoulder pain
-
Some headaches
-
Pregnancy-related pain (e.g., back strain, joint pain)
-
Lower back, pelvic, and limb pain
-
Childhood musculoskeletal conditions
-
Sports injuries and rehabilitation
-
Acute trauma
Techniques used for pain relief include:
-
Soft tissue massage
-
Joint manipulation and mobilization
-
Muscle energy techniques
-
Advice on ergonomics and exercise
