What is osteopathy and how can it help?

Osteopathy is a holistic treatment; this means treating the whole body not just your sore back or pain in your shoulder. Osteopaths have a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology and use a variety of techniques to help the body in healing. I take a detailed case history. Often the pain you are experiencing is referred from another part of your body, or is a “symptom” of issues elsewhere in your body. Pain can even come from events happening in your life - osteopaths believe that physical problems in your body can be caused by stress, for example. For these reasons, I will often treat the whole body rather than focusing exclusively on the “condition” you came in with.

Osteopaths use a variety of “hands on” techniques, such as stretching, joint mobilisation, soft and deep tissue release and dry needling. It’s not all “cracking backs”!

Osteopathy can treat a wide variety of issues including back, neck, shoulder and hip problems. I get a lot of patients who come in with nerve impingement or sciatica, or pain and postural problems from sitting at a desk all day.

Is Osteopathy safe in pregnancy?

Osteopathy can be used safely in pregnancy. In fact, some of the techniques are very helpful in relieving pain that may be exacerbated during pregnancy.

If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, please let us know as there are certain osteopathic techniques that can’t be used during pregnancy.
