Osteopathy is a very well established system of diagnosis and treatment that recognises much of the pain and disability we suffer comes from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease.
Registered Osteopaths have an extensive training to allow them to recognise and treat many causes of pain and they use a variety of treatment techniques including manipulation, deep tissue massage and even acupuncture.
Osteopathy can successfully treat a wide range of musculoskeletal pain and problems including low back or neck pain, sciatica, headaches, joint and soft tissue sprains, tennis elbow and muscle tension. It is a safe and natural treatment and is suitable for a wide age range from children to senior citizens.
