Osteopathy focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders and the effects of these conditions on patients general health.

Using many of the diagnostic procedures applied in conventional medical assessment, osteopaths seek to restore the optimal functioning of the body using their hands with a wide array of techniques ranging from massage of soft tissues to the manipulation of joints.

The treatment of patients is tailored to each individual needs and capabilities, and so though two people may have similar problems, their treatments may vary greatly based upon their individual uniqueness.
Osteopathy is widely used by professional sports men and women and amateur sports enthusiasts alike to treat strains or injuries resulting from sporting activities.

Osteopathy has become synonomous with the treatment of back related conditions, which it is successful in treating.  Osteopaths actually treat the whole body and can provide help with a wide array of health conditions such as

• asthma    
• headaches
• whiplash
• pregnancy related conditions

Osteopathy can also provide help right across the entire human age range, from babies with colic or sleeping difficulties, to the elderly who may suffer from degenerative conditions such as arthritis.
