What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathic treatment focuses on restoring musculoskeletal function, improving movement, and relieving pain. Osteopaths assess structural, functional, and postural imbalances to create personalised treatment plans.
​
Treatment includes hands on techniques to release tense or restricted tissues. Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and manage musculoskeletal disorders, such as:
​
-
Back, neck, and shoulder pain
-
Some headaches
-
Pregnancy-related pain (e.g., back strain, joint pain)
-
Lower back, pelvic, and limb pain
-
Childhood musculoskeletal conditions
-
Sports injuries and rehabilitation

Acute trauma management
Techniques used for pain relief include:
-
Soft tissue massage

Joint manipulation and mobilisation
-
Muscle energy techniques

Home advice on ergonomics and exercise
