Osteopathy
'OSTEOPATHY recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body's skeleton and joint function along with the associated muscles, soft tissues and internal organs. Osteopaths treat each person as an individual.
Utilising a highly developed sense of touch, they identify problem areas of the body, using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints. An Osteopath works with the body to create perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.'
British Osteopathic Association. June 2008
YOUR FIRST VISIT. A full case history and examination i.e. posture, range of movement, palpatory assessment is made and if necessary reflexes and blood pressure are taken. Sometimes you may be asked to change down to your underwear, a gown will be provided if preferred. Your case and conclusions will be discussed with you and the suggested treatment can then commence. This may take approximately an hour for your first consultation and treatment with me.
