What is Osteopathy?
Manual Osteopathy is a client-centred manual medicine, based on the belief that structure dictates function. Tightness and restrictions in nerve, muscle, and joint structure can be caused by or lead to other problems. Manual Osteopathy is the art of using the hands to treat physical restrictions, limitations, and lesions caused by accidents, repetitive injuries, or postural strain, which are common to many sports and jobs. As a result, function improves. The therapeutic approach makes this practice unique. Rather than only treating symptoms, the manual osteopathic practitioner treats clients as a whole —focusing on the source of the problem. The frequency of treatments is based on your assessment. Adequate time between visits is required to allow your body to integrate the changes that occur from one treatment to the next.
Why Choose Osteopathy?
Manual Osteopathic Treatment is an efficient and effective solution, helping clients return to health and to their normal activities. Treating the body as a whole ensures that the whole body is functioning at its most optimal state. The aim of the Osteopathic Manual Practitioner is to look for the cause of restrictions, rather than solely treating the affected area. Manual Osteopathic Treatments focuses on the health of the whole body, not just the injured or affected part. While the focus is on joints, muscles, and the spine, treatments positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Manual osteopathy has been shown to reduce sleeplessness resulting from chronic pain.
