About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a complementary therapy that uses gentle techniques to manipulate and strengthen the musculo-skeletal framework and improve overall health. it looks at the whole person and not just the disease or ailment. The comprehensive assessment aids the practitioner in determining the root cause of restrictions or strains within the system and the treatments that would be most applicable for resolution in the area. The treatment focus is to improve mobility and function and to decrease pain and restrictions or strain patterns in the body.

Osteopathy is used to treat a multitude of ailments from back pain to depression/anxiety, foot pain to headaches, falls or traumas, post operative consolidation, digestive issues, insomia…… this list is long. Please enquire if you are not sure if you could be helped by osteopathy.

What to Expect

An Appointment is generally one hour in duration. You will be asked to fill out a health intake form prior to your first visit so that no time is wasted during the appointment on this task. The treatments are done with you fully clothed. However it is best to wear yoga-ish pants and a tank top as the heavier the clothing the more difficult it is to assess and treat.

The clinic has a specific Osteopathic table where treatments take place and to keep you as comfortable as possible during the hour. Treatment may be done in a seated position, prone, supine or sidelyiing depending on the area being treated and the techniques required.

Osteopathy is generally done with a very gentle touch but that doesn’t mean that the body is not being affected. Following your practitioners instructions for post treatment care is very beneficial in mitigating any discomfort that may be felt post treatment. This is very common!
