“The moment the osteopaths fingers are on you…you know you are in technically skilled hands.”
                                                                                    George Bernard Shaw

Osteopaths are trained to examine, diagnose and treat conditions that may affect any part of your body.

Principles

~ All systems of the body are interconnected and affect each other.

~The body’s structure and function form a continuum.

~Your body has the ability to heal itself.

Problems

~It is a common misconception that we were not designed to stand on two legs.

~The truth is we have evolved rather well. Visualise the elegance of some older people, the balance and power of a dancer or gymnast, the split second coordination required at the top level of sport, astronauts on the moon. Just brilliant.

However, quantify how much work your body does, add in your inherited shape, your age, level of fitness, possible trauma and the constraints of the modern working environment and you can understand that tissues begin to feel the strain.

~Overstretching or a sudden movement has put too much force through a particular joint or muscle.
~Sitting at a computer for hours has made your neck and shoulders stiffen up.

Solutions

Restoring function and relieving pain is what osteopaths specialise in. By working with their hands (hands have a huge nerve supply) osteopaths are able to detect subtle changes in tissues as treatment restores circulation, relaxing muscles and easing joint function, leaving you feeling freer and more comfortable.

Remember your body has the ability to heal itself, so don’t panic however acute your symptoms are.
