How can an osteopath support you?
Rooted in the study of how the body functions and moves, osteopathy takes a hands-on, holistic approach to care.
When assessing discomfort, osteopaths look beyond the immediate area and consider how the whole body may be involved. Using manual therapy, exercises, and lifestyle support, they help guide patients toward improved comfort and mobility.
How do osteopaths treat the body?
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
How can osteopathy support your well-being?
Osteopathy offers many benefits for enhancing your overall health and 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
Osteopathy also contributes to preventative care by picking up on early signs of dysfunction, helping to reduce the risk of injury and support long-term health.
What to know about our osteopathy appointment
Your first session involves a detailed look at how your body functions as a whole, helping your osteopath identify the underlying causes of your pain.
Your osteopath will take time to ask about your medical background, current health, any medications, and aspects of your lifestyle that may be relevant. A physical assessment will also be conducted, focusing on your movement, posture, and musculoskeletal health. Please wear clothing that allows for easy movement.
Once your osteopath has identified what’s contributing to your issue, they’ll put together a care plan that targets the cause—not just the symptoms. Treatment typically begins on the day, with recommendations for what to do or avoid between visits.
