Through the course of life, from cradle to grave, we all become subject to all manner of trauma or postural adaptation caused by a variety of circumstances including, sports related injury or work. Such incidents, if left unresolved, can have an accumulative effect resulting in pain and discomfort as we grow older. Osteopathy provides a system of identifying and correcting musculo-skeletal imbalances based on a sound understanding of how the body functions. Osteopathic treatment is not aimed at just treating the symptoms, but seeks to address the underlying causative factors and other parts of the body that may be having an affect or are also being affected. Osteopaths have a holistic approach and believe that your whole body will work well if your body is in good structural balance, Imagine, for example, a car that has one of its front wheels not quite pointing straight. It may run well for a while, but after a few thousand miles, the tyre will wear out. It's no good just replacing the tyre, thinking that you have solved the problem, when it fact it might be a buckled wheel or worse. You can apply this example to the human body, which is why it is so important to keep the body in good balance. Common types of pain treated:
back and neck pain
shoulder and arm pain
pelvis, hip and leg problems
sports and other injuries
