What is Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system for diagnosing and treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. It focuses on the body’s structure and function, based on the philosophy that a person’s well-being depends on the interaction of the skeleton, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.
​​
Osteopaths are highly trained allied healthcare professionals who specialize in the Musculoskeletal system and must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council
​
Osteopathy likes to look at the body as a whole and does not look at the body as separate, disjointed areas. The Osteopath's philosophy is that everything is connected and can play a role in how pain or injury presents. 'With viewing the body as an interconnected system where musculoskeletal health plays a pivotal role in overall well-being an Osteopath is a highly skilled practitioner helping restore musculoskeletal balance, reduce pain and aid your recovery.​​​
