Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a ‘whole body’ system of health care, based on unique biomechanical principles, which uses a wide range of techniques to treat musculo-skeletal problem. It also plays a role in the management of a number of other conditions, including:

  • back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches,
  • pains in peripheral joints – such as shoulders, knees and ankles,
  • tendonitis and muscle strains,
  • work-related and repetitive strain injuries and sports-related injuries.

Osteopathy is a complementary medicine that not only takes in the physical symptoms but the lifestyle, attitudes and current health of the patient.
