What is Osteopathy?

1. why this problem?

2. why this patient?

3. why now?



Osteopaths are able to understand the need for further diagnostic tests such as MRI scans and blood tests and in many cases because patients come to the osteopath self referred, the patient may well then  be referred back to the GP for specialist advice.

In many cases osteopathy is concerned with the interconnections of the various anatomical parts. A long term problem will almost certainly involve adaptations and compensations to the original problem during the healing process. Scar tissue even on a micro level can compromise circulation in the body tissues and thus tissue vitality.

Osteopathy is very effective at resolving aches, pains and injuries, because it looks at the causes of your problem thinking about those fundamental three questions.

It is an osteopath’s aim to stop a problem or injury from recurring by taking away those reasons that allowed it to occur in the first place.
