MANUAL OSTEOPATHY

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?


Osteopathy is a non-invasive, drug-free manual therapy that seeks to enhance overall health by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal system. At its core, osteopathy aims to treat the person as a whole, not just their symptoms.


Osteopaths use a combination of diagnosis and manual manipulation of the neuromusculoskeletal system, highlighting its interconnectedness with every other organ system in the body. By improving circulation and correcting altered biomechanics through hands-on techniques, osteopathy can provide complementary therapy alongside conventional treatment to improve health.


In addition to addressing musculoskeletal issues, osteopathy can also assist with sleep cycles, as well as symptoms related to the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. By emphasizing the body's innate ability to heal itself, osteopathy seeks to improve overall health and wellness without the use of drugs.

OSTEOPATHY CAN PROVIDE RELIEF AND TREATMENT FOR A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING:

  •  Arthritis
  •  Foot, ankle, hip, and knee pain
  •  Back pain, neck pain, and sciatica
  •  Hand, shoulder, and elbow pain
  •  Headaches
  •  Tennis and golfer’s elbow
  •  Postural problems due to pregnancy, sports injury, driving or work strain, or digestive issues

Osteopathy places the patient at the center of the treatment. Before any active management or treatment, an initial consultation will take place where the client will be asked to demonstrate simple stretches and movements to help the osteopath make an accurate analysis of their posture and mobility. Based on the analysis, the osteopath will propose a personalized treatment plan to meet the patient’s individual needs.


In addition to manual therapy, the osteopath may suggest dietary modifications and changes to workplace ergonomics, such as seating and desk position, to support the treatment plan and improve overall health. The aim is to address the root cause of the problem and to promote long-term health, rather than just treating the symptoms.

PREVENTION ADVICE CAN INVOLVE:

  •   stretching exercises
  •   lifting techniques
  •   posture
  •   breathing
  •   stress reduction

The application of these techniques can be beneficial in many ways, including improving posture and reducing pain. For instance, learning proper lifting techniques, as well as stretching before exercise, can help prevent injuries. Making positive lifestyle changes can also significantly improve overall health, reduce ongoing health risks, and lower healthcare costs. By avoiding injuries, individuals can spend more time being active, minimize time off work, and have the freedom to enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
