Musculo-skeletal osteopathy is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery. Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring. Osteopathy can help with conditions such as:
• joint and muscle pain
• neuralgia
• arthritic and rheumatic pain
• acute & chronic neck and/or back ache
• headache
• frozen shoulder
• circulatory problems
• digestion problems
• fibromyalgia
• inability to relax
• minor sports injuries and tensions.
