What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions.  It is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
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 the body’s own healing mechanisms.  They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
Who and what do osteopaths treat?
Osteopaths’ patients include the young, older people, manual workers, office professionals, pregnant women, children and sports people.
Patients seek treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including:
  • back pain
  • repetitive strain injury
  • changes to posture in pregnancy
  • postural problems caused by driving or work strain
  • the pain of arthritis
  • sports injuries
  • neck pain
  • shoulder and arm pain
  • pelvis, hip and leg problems
Osteopathy can also be used for treating other conditions. You can discuss these with Kate, who would be happy to advise you during your initial assessment.
