Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints.

It is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together.

Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and massage with the aim of:
– increasing the mobility of joints;
– relieving muscle tension;
– reducing pain;
– enhancing the blood supply to tissues;
– helping the body to heal.

They use a range of techniques, but not medicines or surgery.
