What is an Osteopath?
Osteopathy is the science and art of using gentle and effective manual techniques to restore the optimal and appropriate function to the human body. Using a highly developed sense of touch along with extensive knowledge of detailed anatomy and physiology the Osteopath can recognize and properly diagnose; physical strain patterns, joint restrictions and uneven muscular tone.
The Treatment
Gentle manipulations and adjustments of misaligned joints are some of the techniques of Structural Osteopathy. It can greatly improve joint movement, increasing the quality of blood supply and nerve impulses around the body. Massage, articulation and joint manipulation are all techniques used to effect posture, spinal mechanics, fluid dynamics and functional stability.Conditions treated by Osteopaths
Our unique and holistic approach also recognizes that in a number of occasions the source of the presenting symptoms may well be arising away from the site of pain or discomfort. We believe in most cases there is an underlying emotional component contributing to the problem.About Lucy Rayner
