WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY

David's job as an Osteopath is to diagnose and treat faults that occur in the body's framework.

The faults may be due to;

  • injury,

  • habitual misuse or over-use,

  • disease states or developmental abnormalities.

OSTEOPATHY & DIAGNOSIS

Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medical diagnosis.
Its main strength, however, is within the unique way the patient is assessed from a;

  • mechanical,

  • anatomical,

  • functional and postural standpoint.

Then with the manual methods of treatment, applied to suit the needs of the individual patient.

OSTEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Osteopaths use their hands, both to investigate the underlying causes of pain and to carry out treatment, using a variety of techniques.

These may include;

  • Muscle & connective tissue stretching,

  • Rhythmic joint movements,

  • High velocity thrust to improve movement at a joint,

  • Cranial & functional approaches,

  • Rehabilitation/re-abilitation

  • Positional Release


Gentle releasing techniques are often used, particularly when treating children or elderly patients.

Each person is treated appropriately, considering all the factors for the individual, ensuring treatment is gentle & effective.
