What does an osteopath do?
Osteopathy is a form of hands-on therapy that considers the body as a whole, drawing on knowledge of structure, function, and movement.
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.
What techniques do osteopaths use?
Our practitioners use a range of hands-on manual therapy techniques to meet your individual needs, including:
- Deep tissue massage
- Joint mobilisation and articulation
- Stretching
- HVLA (high-velocity low-amplitude) manipulation
- Dry needling
- Shockwave therapy
- Trigger point therapy
Benefits you may experience with osteopathy
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 expect from osteopathic treatment?
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.
They will ask questions about your medical history, including existing health problems, medications you’re taking, your lifestyle, and any concerns you have. They will also perform a physical examination, which may look at how you move, your posture, and the health of your bones, muscles, and joints. We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
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.
