Principles of Osteopathy

The body as a whole: All parts of the body are interconnected and affect each other.
Self-healing: The body has a natural ability to restore balance and heal itself.
Structure and function: There is a close relationship between the body’s structure (bones, muscles, joints, connective tissue) and its function (movement, circulation, nerve activity).

What do osteopaths treat?

Osteopathy can help with a variety of issues, including:

Back and neck pain: Common musculoskeletal problems such as lumbago or neck stiffness.
Joint problems: Shoulder, hip, knee, and other joint issues.
Headaches and migraines: Often related to tension in the neck and jaw.
Sports injuries: Muscle injuries, sprains, and overuse.
Digestive issues: Which can be related to tension in connective tissue.
Stress-related issues: Muscle tension, sleep problems, and fatigue.

How does osteopathic treatment work?

Assessment and diagnosis:
- A thorough conversation about the patient’s health, lifestyle, and symptoms.
- Physical examinations of the body’s movement and structure.
Treatment:
- Manipulation: Joint adjustments to improve movement and reduce pain.
- Stretching: To release tension in muscles and connective tissue.
- Soft tissue techniques: Massage and pressure to loosen tissue and stimulate blood circulation.
- Mobilization: Gentle movements to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.
Prevention and advice:
- Guidance on posture, mobility, and lifestyle reduce the risk of relapse.
