About Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual therapy with a comprehensive system of diagnosis and treatment using touch, massage and physical manipulation to work with the structure and function of the body. When the structure of the body is correctly aligned it can achieve an optimum state of wellness. In this sense, the role of the osteopath is to facilitate the body's own healing mechanisms. Osteopaths have rigorous training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, clinical competence, pharmacology, psychology and sociology as well as at least 1000 hours of clinical practice.
Osteopaths treat a wide range of medical conditions, for example:
Osteopaths treat a wide range of medical conditions, for example:
- general, acute and chronic backache
- joint pains, including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis
- arthritic pain
- mechanical neck pain
- headaches associated with shoulder and neck tension
- migraine prevention
- frozen shoulder and elbow pain
- circulatory problems
- cramp
- gastrointestinal problems
- sciatic pain
- muscle spasm
- neuralgia
- fibromyalgia
- rheumatic pain
- minor sports injuries
- generalised aches and pains
A referral is not necessary in order to see an osteopath. Osteopaths are primary contact practitioners, meaning that while they successfully treat many complaints that respond well to manual therapy, they are also trained to recognise conditions that are not appropriate for their care.
