The role of an osteopath

Osteopathy is a whole-body form of manual therapy grounded in an understanding of anatomy, physiology, and the way the body moves.

Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, osteopaths consider the full picture of how the body functions. They work to assist the body’s own recovery processes through touch, tailored movement plans, and changes to daily habits.

Methods used in osteopathic care

We tailor our approach using a variety of hands-on techniques, selected to suit your specific needs, including:

Deep tissue massage
Joint mobilisation and articulation
Stretching
HVLA (high-velocity low-amplitude) manipulation
Dry needling
Shockwave therapy
Trigger point therapy

The value of osteopathic care

There are a number of ways osteopathy can support your health and overall sense of well-being, including:

Pain relief (including for chronic pain conditions)
Reduced muscle tension
Improved mobility and function
Enhanced circulation
Stress reduction
Improved sleep
Support for rehabilitation
Improved posture
Positive effect on mood and mental health

As part of a preventative approach, osteopathy can detect underlying concerns before they develop further, assisting in injury prevention and overall wellbeing.

What to know about our osteopathy appointment

At your initial appointment, your osteopath will explore how different parts of your body are interacting to better understand what’s contributing to your discomfort.

During the session, you’ll be asked about your health history, including any ongoing concerns, medications, and day-to-day habits. A physical examination will follow, which may involve checking your posture, how you move, and the condition of your muscles and joints. Comfortable clothing is advised.

After completing the assessment, your osteopath will develop a plan focused on addressing the underlying cause of your concern. Treatment often begins straight away and may involve a series of follow-up appointments, along with advice on exercises or activities to support your progress.
