Osteopathy is used by people of all ages who suffer from pain, ranging from sports and work-related injuries to arthritis, sciatica and migraine.
The osteopaths role is to alleviate pain and improve the patients function and mobility.
Visiting an osteopath, you will be treated from 3 basic principles:
Your body is a whole and must be regarded and treated as such.
Your body can, under the right conditions heal itself.
Your bodys structure and function are mutually interdependent.
What good is it for example to loosen up a joint, if the muscles and connective tissues around this part still struggle? By looking at the body as a whole and working their way into the root causes of the symptoms, Osteopaths increase the potential to achieve effective and lasting results. This is often seen already after a short course of Osteopathic treatment.
Thus, the treatment itself is not finished before the Osteopathy so to speak, has made themselves redundant. Once the optimal balance in the body is restored, the Osteopath namely advises patients about the tools and opportunities to work on avoiding or minimising the return of the complaint- for example, we may suggest exercises that are required to maintain this optimal functioning or educate you to avoid certain situations or advise you on sitting, sleeping posture etc.
Your Osteopathic treatment involves gentle, manual techniques aiming to ease pain, reduce swelling and improving mobility. Osteopathy treatment may involve manipulation, which can result in an audible crackwhich is simply the sound of gas bubbles popping within the fluid of the joints. Other techniques we incorporate into treatment may be stretching and massage for the treatment of the soft tissues (muscles tendons, ligaments) along with other , more gentle procedures which aim to release deep tissue tension around joints and related structures.
