Osteopathy

Osteopaths are allied healthcare professionals who are experts in conditions that effect the Musculoskeletal System (MSK).

They help to resolve pain and restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability through supported and well-researched manual therapy techniques, exercise, education and advice. At the core is the patient’s involvement in their own care, through awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.
​
An initial appointment will involve a thorough assessment and physical examination, individualised treatment and discussing a plan to help you make a full recovery and achieve your specific goals. You will leave the appointment with your own care plan including specific exercises and advice to facilitate your recovery. We will also explain your diagnosis and if you will benefit from other members of the multi-disciplinary team being involved in your care.
