What does an Osteopathic Practitioner do?
Osteopathy uses gentle spine/joint adjustments, along with deep tissue massage techniques to correct your body and relive pain. Unlike some disciplines, a British-trained Osteopathic Practitioner will soften up the muscular tissues before using any manipulative/adjustment techniques. This ensures a more effective treatment, a quicker resolution to your pain, a more gentle manipulation/adjustment, and fewer treatments needed. We like to see positive pain reduction and general improvement in three treatments or less, ideally. Many of our patients only need to visit us once or twice a year once their condition has stabilized.
 
Essentially osteopathy uses the practice of balancing and correcting problems relating to the musculoskeletal system using gentle joint adjustments, relieving pain, and encouraging the body to heal itself. When the bones, joints and muscles are not working harmoniously, other systems of the body begin to stop functioning smoothly. Our philosophy contends that the body is capable of healing itself, but only when the musculoskeletal system is properly aligned. An Osteopathic Practitioner adjusts and applies pressure to the affected part of the body to release stress and tension. It also works on organs and other bones within the body, improving posture, relieving pain and promoting a well-functioning body. Osteopathy does not stop at the spine as the main source of pain and disease, searching the entire body for the source of any ailments.
