What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment performed by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints to improve the mobility of joints and relieve muscle tension. Osteopaths do not perform surgery, use machines or do X-Rays.
Most people who see an osteopath have issues which affect their muscles, bones and joints. However, they do help with a broader range of issues which aren’t as obvious such as migraines, foot and ankle pain.
An osteopath does not concentrate only on the problem area but uses manual techniques to treat the body as a whole.
