Osteopathy is a system of assessing, diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of health problems.

​

Osteopaths are commonly known for treating back pain and postural problems including changes due to pregnancy, caused by driving or work strain, the pain of arthritis and minor sports injuries.

​

Osteopathy works with the philosophy that if the structure of the body is well balanced, then it will function efficiently and that much of the musculoskeletal pain that we experience is due to imbalances in our body.

​

By treating the affected area using a variety of techniques on the muscles, fascia, joints and ligaments the osteopath will aim to alleviate the pain and discomfort that stems from this abnormal functioning of the body structure. These techniques can include soft tissue stretching, muscle energy techniques, gentle rebalancing and manipulation to the spine and other joints.
